CT-21/2567

CT-21/2567, Nicknamed Chase was a Clone Trooper and later Clone Captain during the Clone Wars who fought from the battle of Geonosis up until the seige of the Red World, in which he was killed by his friend and General, Egathon Dalor upon the execution of Order 66, an order that Chase executed with blind loyalty, managing to hold his own against both Egathon and his brother Chronwë for a time before he was sliced through the head and killed.

In 6 ABY, Apparitions of Captain Chase and Commander Nytt were summoned defend the mindscape from Falon Tarr

Description
CT-21/2567, also identified as Chase was a genetic replica of Jango Fett, as of such he had tan skin, brown eyes and black hair that he often kept shaved. he was identified by a tattoo of his designation along his cheek and later by a massive burn scar across the left side of his face caused by a thermal grenade thrown by Acolyte Tal during the second battle of Sullust. From 20 BBY onwards Chase was also identifiable by a Songsteel crafted cybernetic arm on his left side, it's plating was forged to resemble Clone armour as to keep in uniform like the Clone preferred.

Armour and clothing
Chase wore Red fatigues while off duty, later replaced by a Gray officers uniform after his promotion to Lieutenant, which had cyan cuff and shoulder stripes and had a Captain's rank badge attached. During combat Chase wore a sparsely painted set of ARF armour during 22-21 BBY, identifiable by a set of arrowed stripes across his breastplate identifying his NCO rank with a Red Sigil on his pauldrons to identify him as a Medic. from 20 BBY onwards Chase wore a set of similarly sparsely painted Phase 2 BARC armour, equipped with a Kama, Rangefinder and painted with his Jaig Eyes on it's forehead.

Battle of Geonosis and Early War
Like most Clones Chase's first experience of war was at Geonosis where he served as a Clone medic. At some point in the battle Chase pulled Jedi Padawan Egathon Dalor from a missile crater and brought him to safety, beginning their close friendship.

Later in the battle Chase supposedly earned his namesake by chasing a Geonosian from a group of injured Clones with only a bacta injector.

Early Missions and Cristophsis
Chase was transferred to Enigma immediately following the Sullust Crisis, being one a limited number of medics the trooper was put to work almost constantly, being an unofficial chief medical officer for the time being.

Across the next few days Chase treated dozens of Clones ranging from minor illnesses to broken bones and surgeries. Chase's first mission was the battalion was with a mission led by Captain Evo to reclaim a pair of captured Arquitens Cruisers, the LAATs landed on the hull and the Clones boarded, seizing the bridge before being swarmed by droids, Chase shot down a couple of B1 units and managed to help down a BX before him and Evo retreated to draw the Clones to the airlock, the airlocks were opened remotely to suck out all the droids into space, leaving the ship in Republic hands. Chase reclaimed the BX he took down and refitted it to be a surgical and medical assistant, which he named Striker.

At some point while the Arquitens were being equipped with new crews the Trooper was again selected by Captain Evo to join a strike team consisting of himself, Evo, Rage and Blizzard to head to Mos Eisley on Tattooine where a distress call had been picked up.

Fleet Week and the Obrux Operation
While Chase saw little need for messing around and slacking off, he did take advantage of fleet week to rest up. although he often disapproved of his comrades actions on Naboo, especially those forming relationships, he mostly kept it to himself. During this time Chase attempted to officially file himself for the position of Chief Medical Officer, although Evo turned his first request down, saying he'd need to consult Jaybird first, Chase, angry that a Trooper who'd spent less time in the Battalion then him would be considered first, obliged regardless and returned with Jaybirds approval.

When a storm broke out over Theed Chase and his squad worked tirelessly watching over the streets and trying to keep the citizens safe from flooding and strong winds, when the storm cleared and Calvara and his agents successfully kidnapped Egathon Chase took the matter very seriously, deploying with some of his best men, including Iyex and Jale to Obrux alongside Enigma and yet again working tirelessly to try save his friend, including a mission to the edge of the cities tectonic plate where he and several others discovered a GAR outpost had been hijacked and transmitting false all clear signals. While Chase was grateful that Evo and Vexin managed to rescue his friend, he was sad that he didn't get to take part in the rescue.

Fighting Rakkar
Several days after the Obrux Operation, Chase was part of a mission to the world of Tofaz where a Company of Clones had gone missing, Enigma divided into two groups for the mission, Kyuzo Company and General Lekrot deployed to the derelict Venator of the unit in orbit called the Phobeus while Evo and Egathon lead Sword down on the ground. The group was accompanied by Egathons Astromech, R7-C4 who scanned the planet for lifeforms, locating a few a few miles ahead of their location. To cover more ground the group divided with Lieutenant Vulcrov taking Shatter Squad away from the main group, only to be ambushed and possessed by the zombies inhabiting the world

Evo and the others encountered an obstacle in the form of a river of green lava, luckily with the help of Egathon using the force and R7 using his thrusters the two were able to ferry the clones across just in time before zombies swarmed their position.

Seige of the Red World and Order 66


In the final days of the Clone Wars Enigma Battalion, using a Sith Holocron journeyed to the Red World to seek and destroy the Anarchy Collective once and for all, Egathon, freshly a Jedi Knight alongside Chase and the Ashen Angels Platoon were tasked with assassinating Chronwe to damage collective leadership, Chase personally accompanied Egathon deep into the citadel of Mor'Del'Kyne where they faced down the Acolyte together.

Chase's Legacy
For years Chase's betrayal haunted Egathon, with the Jedi unable to trust any Clone he met, it wasn't until 3 BBY when Egathon faced his fears and the past and overcame the ghost of Chase that haunted him, enabling him to face Ainos directly.

R7-C4 knew about Chase's disloyalty regarding the health of his men and hypothesized Chase could not have executed Order 66 of free will, desperate to know the truth about his friend R7 hatched a plan alongside Lieutenant Reyanna Rist and Sgt. RC-2009 "Wyvern" to remove General Ainos' inhibiter chip, hoping the Clone was good inside, ultimately the plan failed and even without his chip Ainos continued to serve the Empire, defeated, R7 conceded to himself that the Clones were evil all along.

Behind the Veil
In 6 ABY apparitions of Captain Chase and Commander Nytt were summoned by a remnant of then dead Emperor Palpatine to defend his hold on Tarr's mindscape from the Inquisitor and his allies. Despite Tarr's best efforts, he was unable to conjure a reality of the Clone not betraying the Jedi.

Personality and traits
Chase was characterized by others to be loyal to the Republic above all else, despite his close friendship with Egathon. Chase would often argue with others in favor of harsher punishments and as a medic, against unhealthy acts like smoking. While Chase harbored a close friendship with his Jedi Commander, Egathon Dalor, this did not stop the Clone from executing Order 66 without pause, part of this unquestioning of the order is attributed to his experiences with Rakkar as noted by Egathon, which may have deteriorated his faith in the Jedi to the point he had no trouble believing they were traitors, it was suspected by R7 that like Ainos and Viper, Chase would have opened fire on the Jedi regardless of the status of his chip.

Chase's loyalty did have bounds though when it came to his brothers, as a medic Chase was outright against the idea of termination except in the most extreme cases, In one instance he was known to have conspired with Egathon to have hid a brain damaged Clone with his friends mother and in another he deliberately kept medical information about Clone Trooper Dat secret as to try avoid termination of his friend, although his friendship with Dat did not so much as falter Chase when he turned in the Clones squad for attempted desertion, knowing full well the price would be execution

Combat Skills
Chase was a incredibly renowned one on one fighter, holding his own against force users like Chronwe Reliacon and his brother Egathon for a time as well as helping Egathon to fight enemies like Acolyte Tal and Jedi Master Rakkar, During 6 ABY in the Mindscape, Chase's Apparition was able to hold it's own against Falon Tarr for a time but ultimately was no match for the Inquisitor and his allies. Part of this is due to Chase's familiarity with force users, having fought as Egathons right hand man for some time, Chase also had a songsteel arm, allowing him to parry blows from Lightsabers with minimal harm.

Chase was an able marksman and combatant and was able to successfully take down a Squad of Droids with the help of Clone Trooper Buzz on Phatrong, while not as skilled as his superior officers and the ARCs in the unit like Evo, Oya'karir and Click he was able to hold his own against many foes.

Specialist Skills
Chase was a trained and expert Medic and with minimal help was able to partially restore Enigma to fighting condition after the first battle of Sullust.

As an Advanced Recon Force unit Chase was trained in use of AT-RTs, BARC Speeders and even JT-12 Jetpacks, more so then standard for Enigma, he made expert use of AT-RTs Mortar Launchers during the Phatrong operation, managing to land shots precisely on target and helping Enigma escape the death trap of an ambush the deployment was.

OOC
It is hypothesized by the scientific community that Colonel Viper copied the idea of punching the main character with a metal arm from Chase.
