After the Clone Wars came to an end and the Republic was transitioned into the Galactic Empire, the Clone Troopers who served on the front lines of the Clone Wars were sadly phased out and replaced with regular, human-born stormtroopers. This caused a huge amount of anger and stress among the retired Clone Troopers, because all they knew was war, fighting and combat… This anger brewed very deeply in one set of Clone Troopers, so much so that they turned to a life of Crime and deception. So, lets find out who these brave Clone Troopers were and how they became Crime Lords of the Outer Rim.
Zeke, Oake, Tojo, Jayk and Rafe are truly brave soldiers of the Grand Army of the Republic.
As the Clone Wars raged on throughout the Galaxy, a Standard Trooper who was given the Nickname Zeke, served as a sergeant in the Grand Army’s 1st platoon. Zeke was one of the many Clone Troopers created on Kamino, and went through the same training procedures as many of his brothers. For some strange reason however, Zeke left Kamino with less morality, less loyalty and vastly more combat expertise than many of his brothers around him, but this went unnoticed by his Jedi General During the war.
At the end of the war, Zeke and the rest of his men were relieved that the Separatists had fallen and were excited to fight another day should any other threats arise throughout the galaxy. That was… Until they heard the news that the Clones of Jango Fett bred on Kamino were being retired and phased out of the new Imperial Army by Emperor Palpatine.
After hearing this news, he and his brothers in the 1st Platoon were shocked, and disgusted at how they could be treated this way after literally winning the war for the Republic, and allowing the Empire to be created.
Because of this, Trooper Zeke gathered 26 of his brothers and formed a small raiding group, who planned to quit the Imperial army before they were phased out, and do some pretty major damage on the way out. As these 26 brave Clones deserted the army, the managed to steal a large cache of old Republic Weaponry, as well hundreds of crates of Clone Trooper armor from the war.
