Around 18 BBY, a Gozanti-class cruiser in the Balmorra system was raided by a group of rogue clone troopers. The cruiser, commanded by Captain Pearce, was successfully taken by the clones and its logs were taken by Echo. Echo brought the data logs to Pabu, hoping that Tech could decipher it. Tech's efforts proved successful, and he informed Clone Force 99 that Doctor Royce Hemlock of the Galactic Empire was experimenting on clones. These clones happened to include CT-9904 "Crosshair," a former member of Clone Force 99. Not long after, Crosshair attempted to escape from Mount Tantiss after Doctor Royce Hemlock failed to interrogate the clone in the Tantiss Base.
