A clone trooper commander served as an Advanced Recon Commando within the ranks of the Galactic Republic. With the objective of supervising its subjugation and retrieving substantial amounts of money from a Separatist financial institution, he was sent to a planet controlled by the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Upon securing the currency, the clone commander unknowingly allowed the Human outlaws Rayt, Wes Apice, and Bryn Apice to board his ship. These criminals, disguised as clone troopers, had been trying to steal from the bank and flee the planet.
