CO-3096 "Whater"

Overview

CO-3096 "Whater" served the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars, beginning his career in the Republic Navy before transferring to Medical Operations. Throughout his service, he participated in numerous battles across the galaxy, including engagements on Ryloth, Naboo, Alderaan, Prime, and Rhen Varr. He eventually commanded the VSD Ravager, helping destroy the CIS blockade over Ryloth and allowing Republic reinforcements to arrive. Following his transfer to Medical Operations, CO-3096 "Whater" dedicated himself to treating wounded clones, assisting civilians, and supporting Republic forces during some of the war's most dangerous engagements.

A major turning point came during the fall of Aldera City, when Whater was assigned to lead the medical team supporting the 21st Nova Corps. After High High Admiral Pax deployed a Separatist fleet and overwhelmed the Republic defenses, CO-3096 "Whater" continued treating wounded soldiers despite being surrounded. The Republic forces eventually surrendered, and CO-3096 "Whater" was evacuated from the planet. He later returned to the VSD Ravager, where he fought against an overwhelming CIS fleet before the vessel was captured. Despite suffering injuries and losing many of his friends throughout the war, CO-3096 "Whater" continued serving on the front lines, refusing to abandon his fellow clones.

The Siege of Ryloth 

After returning to Ryloth, CO-3096 "Whater" established medical teams at a Republic forward operating base and coordinated with battalion command to prepare for the coming offensive. When the battle began, CIS immediately pinned down the Republic forces, preventing them from launching an effective assault. Whater found himself trapped near the front lines as bombs and artillery shells struck the surrounding area, but he continued issuing orders and coordinating medical assistance.

During the offensive, a Hyena-class bomber exploded near CO-3096 "Whater", killing a newly enlisted corpsman on his first deployment. Despite the loss, Whater continued his duties, eventually ordering the medical teams to regroup and work together as the fighting intensified. Republic forces later secured additional supplies and launched a counteroffensive, forcing the Separatist Army to withdraw from the immediate engagement.

While the Republic Army continued fighting, Republic tanks managed to infiltrate and capture a hostile CIS forward operating base, forcing the remaining Separatist forces to flee. Although the Republic had secured a victory, the casualties weighed heavily on CO-3096 "Whater", who had once again witnessed the deaths of friends and fellow medical personnel.

The Final Battle over Rhen Var 

After several more deployments, CO-3096 "Whater" was assigned to the VSD Dauntless over Rhen Var, where he was tasked with protecting the gunnery crews during a battle against the Separatists. When Hyena-class droid bombers destroyed the engines of both Republic ships, Commander Whitebeard ordered CO-3096 "Whater" to assist with repairing the vessel. CO-3096 "Whater" proceeded to the main hangar, where he encountered a newly deployed CIS HMP transport ship and numerous B2 Battle Droids.

Despite the danger, CO-3096 "Whater" fought back and managed to eliminate several droids before attempting to retreat. However, he was shot and killed by one of his own brothers-in-arms, perishing on the cold metal floor of the Dauntless as the battle continued around him.

Following his death, a funeral was held above Kamino for the fallen Grand Republic Navy.
