CO-3368 "Filtrum"

Overview

Trooper "Filtrum" was amongst the first clones to emerge within the quickly emerging clone battalions. He was born with unusual silver hair for a clone; displaying one of the first instances of a minor mutation within the cloned specimens of the Kaminoans. Displaying exceptional tactical & strategic prowess that seemed extraordinary for a clone of his "basic" level; it was also noted that his ability to improvise, adapt and overcome obstacles even under pressure in command or as a leader was exceptional. That calm, collected demeanour had led his conscription in the 91st Recon Corps. Upon arrival within the republic installation on Carida, Filtrum had received his new stationed as Staff Sergeant of the BARC Company, as Platoon Leader of "Alpha" Platoon. Days passed and the alarms blared, the pressure the galaxy had felt finally combusted. Pirate ships in orbit, engagements with the friendly ships that resulted in those same vessels to come crashing down engulfed in flames. Blaster bolts, brothers being ambushed from the tree lines. Those nightmares would come to haunt him. Him and his men observed those horrors from above; acting as overwatch for fellow callsigns.

They finally came back to base, men were missing. Within a moment's notice, their commander declared yet another deployment. Morale was at an all time high- they were eager for battle. They marched out of the FOB; his men cheering "For the Great Khan!", We ride for him!. Explosions erupted and blasters went off. The companies and their men scrambled in response, Nexu were forced to defend the wall with his company providing overwatch once more, there were too many of them; we couldn't see them through the bushes. They were too agile, it was as if we couldn't hit them at all. One scream over the radio after another, officers fell followed by their men. They stood their ground, they did it "For the Republic".

Filtrum had vowed to prevent those massacres from striking his brothers ever again; initiative was taken and changes were made, improvements that had proven his worthiness for a title of an officer within a newly established Company, known as "Convor", he was entrusted with its establishment under Captain "Strafer". Duty called and demand was made, Convor was forged into a force to be reckoned with, the elite; a callsign that could stand its grown against the impossible. A demand that was met by a trial, for without too much room for preperation. The 91st was the first to deploy onto the surface of Christophsis. The first to set foot onto a planet that would later result in a bloodbath for his brothers, with a miscommunication between his unit's command and the navy, what followed was meant to be no more than a "simple recon mission". Turned into a battle for the battalion's survival, dropped within a central courtyard surrounded by armoured brigades and separatist droids in all directions, history was repeating itself. Yet another bloodbath, screams over the communications relay on his wrist and explosions in all directions. He had ordered his men to storm the nearest building in an attempt to prolong their survival. Resulted in the capture of Separatist officials Wat Tambor and Nute Gunray. A transmission came in, LAAT's had descended in an attempt to evacuate all callsigns. Moments from boarding the vessel, he was flung back by an AAT shell... rescued by one of his troops "Jailbird", they were successfully evacuated... only to live to fight another day. Bearing the color green.

Major Contributions

• During the first steps of his journey as a non-commissioned officer within the Republic Military, Filtrum was assigned as BARC Company's first Staff Sergeant, where he aided in the establishment of the 91st's BARC Company. Laying out the ground work for the Company's later improvements. Filtrum's platoon was, for quite a while known as the greatest the Company, or even the 91st could offer at a time of need. Always emerging with minimal casualties, but maximum results... a platoon from which emerged remarkable clones, with a few names to mention; being "Curse" and "Serce".
• Chosen by the Commander at the time, "Neyo" had promoted Filtrum to the rank of 1st Lieutenant under Captain "Strafer". Where he had established the basis of the 91st's "Convor" Company alongside his right hand man at the time. 2nd Lieutenant "Ahab"; Convor was a company that had "set the standard" for more companies and units to come. With Strafer's promotion to the rank of Major, Filtrum and Ahab were also elevated accordingly. Spearheading the trainings & trials of the special forces-themed force in preperation for the horrors of Christophsis and campaigns to follow.
• He had participated in the disastrous 1st landing of the 91st in Tophen City of Christophsis. himself and his company stood their ground firmly until they found themselves totally surrounded, with squads being picked off one by one; Filtrum had instructed his men to push into the nearest building. Happening to be the very building in which Nute Gunray and Wat Tambor hosted a meeting with the Pykes. The Separatist officials were extracted upon the arrival of friendly transports, however moments before boarding the aircraft Filtrum had suffered severe damage coming from a hostile AAT which was raining down fire upon the surrounding 91st callsigns. He was extracted alongside the CIS Officials, carried on the back of specialist "Jailbird", temporarily being bound to the medbay only to then join the remainder of the 91st's deployments on the surface of Tophen City.
• After the withdrawal of the 91st from the surface of Christophsis, enduring losses; Filtrum was amongst the few officers transferred to the newly formed 442nd Siege Battalion. Where; at first he was stationed at the new Captain of "Doom" Company; later to be promoted to the rank of Major following the absence of his predecessor. He was responsible for the establishment of the vast majority of the 442nd's structure from the ground up, upon recieving word of his new station. Now spearheading operations alongside his men in the surface of Corellia.
