Biography

Drak served during the Clone Wars as one of the many clone trooper of the Grand Army of the Republic.

Drak, a human male clone originating from the genetic template of bounty hunter Jango Fett, was born on the planet Kamino. He underwent rigorous training to become a clone trooper. Drak's service was with the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars, within a unit commanded by the Jedi Padawan Leh'ahnyo Vas and her Master. When Separatist forces launched an assault on a farming village nestled in a valley, Drak's unit was dispatched to offer protection to the inhabitants. During the battle, he noticed a young girl, Taya, struggling to pull her unconscious father, Tam, to safety. Drak swiftly intervened, lifting the unconscious man. This caused Taya to lose her footing, but Drak caught her before she fell. Drak then carefully placed Tam behind a boulder for protection, before gently guiding Taya to safety behind the same boulder.

Drak reassured the girl that they were there to provide assistance. He then readied his blaster rifle and began firing upon the unsuspecting battle droids. He destroyed three droids and swept the formation as the droids sprayed the area with blaster bolts. Drak continued to calmly mow down the droids, even as they marched closer and closer to the boulder. Just as they were about to be overwhelmed by the droids that were mere meters away, Jedi Padawan Leh'ahnyo Vas leaped over Drak's head and deflected a volley of blaster bolts towards the sky. Vas apologized for her late arrival as she cut down battle droids, and Drak replied that he expected her to show up after he had done all the heavy lifting. Working together, Drak and Vas successfully eliminated the remaining droids. Drak finished the fight by destroying the last droid's head with a precise shot. Drak then provided cover for Vas as she attended to Taya and provided medical aid to Tam, as they waited for the arrival of the medics.
