CO - 0849 "Met"
Overview
Met was born on Kamino as a clone. He was especially close with his brothers, particularly his squad, with whom he took part in the Citadel training together. After graduation, each clone went their separate ways. Met decided to join the RSF Navy, starting his career just as the war was about to begin. The first battle he took part in was when the CIS attempted to use their fleet to break into Alderaan, an assault which was successfully repelled. While participating in many battles, his rank rose faster than that of a typical trooper.
A major turning point came during the surprise attack on Rhen Var, when he was in charge of the Hardcase. Although the attack was unexpected, he did his best to keep his men calm and maintain the integrity of the ship until he received orders from Sand to evacuate. After surviving Admiral Pax’s pursuit on the ground and returning to the fleet, Met was devastated by the losses they had suffered. Following the retreat from Rhen Var, he became more disciplined than the average trooper, though he remained kind at heart. He pushed his troops to maintain peak condition and ensured that mistakes were corrected. Those who made errors were punished with helljacks to ensure they would not repeat them.
Disaster at Christophsis
After the second city was cleared, Met was ordered to assist in the assault on the final city alongside the Venator he was stationed on in order to liberate Christophsis. However, things quickly went wrong. The assault was to be led by Commodore Imperator, along with representatives from each division. When the battle began, there were few SFC personnel available for the invasion, forcing the battalions to remain aboard the Venators and defend them until the anti-air defenses were cleared.
A wave of drop pods struck the ship, and the battalions defended it with everything they had. Despite their efforts, one drop pod breached the bridge, where Commodore Imperator was stationed. Before he could react, Super B2s emerged and killed him instantly. When Met was informed of his death, he was placed in command of the entire operation. However, he was unprepared and untrained for such responsibility, and it took him time to regain his composure. Once he did, he ordered a full retreat from the city.
As the Venators attempted to withdraw, the one Met was stationed on suffered heavy damage and could not escape. He ordered a full evacuation to save as many clone lives as possible. Met remained behind on the ship, and when it exploded and crash-landed, he miraculously survived.
Once the ground assault began around the downed Venator, the Republic Army fought with everything they had. The surviving RSF personnel, including Met, were unable to contribute effectively, as they lacked armor and were not trained for ground combat. After the battle was won, a LAAT arrived to extract any surviving Navy personnel, including Met. He later returned to his Venator, shaken by the fact that he had survived against overwhelming odds.
Venator Saved at Christophsis
During the final siege of the city, Lieutenant Met was stationed aboard a Venator alongside Admiral Whiz, serving as his executive officer. Met was placed in charge of logistics while the rest of the crew conducted orbital bombardment. While assigned to a secondary bridge, he developed a strong bond with his guards, which included several members of the 501st, including Kix.
On the second day of the siege, most of his security detail was deployed to the surface to fight the droids, though a few remained behind with him, observing the battle and talking. During this time, a Hyena bomber targeted a defenseless Venator, scoring multiple hits and leaving it critically damaged. The admiral ordered an evacuation, but Met refused and began coordinating repairs instead. Another RSF member, his guards, and a member of the 104th stayed behind to assist him. Together, they managed to stabilize the ship before it was destroyed.
Once the Venator was stable, the rest of the crew and additional guards returned to continue supporting the ground forces. For his actions during the battle, Met was awarded the Republic Cross, the highest Republic-wide honor available to him. After the ceremony concluded, he immediately returned to repairing the ship, continuing his work until the end of the day.
