# WO-9415 "Hardcase" ## Early Life Hardcase was a hot headed clone from the planet Kamino, born with a slight defect in his growth serum, it caused his hyper active personality. Upon his graduation, he was assigned to the 501st legion to support the Republic. ## Journey Through the Ranks Hardcase climbed the ladder through his hard work and determination. Fellow clone troopers often describe him as the one leading the charge with his famous Z-6 blaster. His military prowess eventually led to his spot as a Staff Sergeant. ## Military Career Hardcase was most famously known for his sense of action combined with heavy fire from his Z-6, as he pushed forward when necessary and held the line when it truly mattered. His journey spanned from cities in Alderaan, to Venators high above ground. ## **Personal Life** While in and out of combat, Hardcase would be known for his love of the fight, and his constant want for battle made him frequently forge his own path, and sometimes disobey orders. Though reprimanded for such actions multiple times, he never strived from a bout and was always eager for a fight, and best enjoyed the thrill of battle and even destroying his enemies. Off the field he was known for his chipper attitude, and his constant jokes to lighten the mood. He was usually known for his affinity to try and get a reaction out of other clones. Overall, Hardcase's constant love of the fight proved to be his greatest weakness. ## Death on Alderaan During [The Siege of Alderaan](https://wiki.unlimitedprojectstudio.com/books/lore-story-arcs-USz/page/the-siege-of-alderaan) the 501st battalion experience the brunt of the newly developed orbital cannons.
