On the planet Kashyyyk, a Republic commander, Morkov, dispatched a clone commando team into the dense jungles of Kashyyyk for a specific assignment.
Their goal was to find and eliminate a hostile bunker. The clones, including Mort and three others, accomplished the destruction of the bunker and began moving toward the designated extraction zone. During their journey, they were ambushed, and they communicated their predicament to their commander. Although the clones fought valiantly to return, they discovered that Morkov had abandoned them, valuing the security of his ship over the lives of the four clones.
Ultimately, the unforgiving environment of Kashyyyk claimed the lives of the clones, one after another. Mort was the sole survivor, having lost an arm in an encounter with a local predator. He was rescued by a group of scientists led by Doctor Ortoz, who discovered him by chance.
