Before the events of the battle of Mon Cala unfolded, Mace Windu, who held the rank of Jedi General, sent Kit Fisto, a Jedi Master, along with Ahsoka Tano, a Padawan, and Monnk, a Clone Commander, to Mon Cala. They were accompanied by a company of clone SCUBA troopers with the mission to bolster the defenses of the Mon Calamari. This deployment aimed to prepare them for an impending civil conflict with the Quarren and the forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems commanded by Riff Tamson. This company was structured into multiple squadrons, with Monnk designated as Red Leader and Tano assuming the role of Blue Leader.
