It was a simple mistake. Honest, anyone could have done the same thing. I clean my own armor all the time…same way.
Hose it down.
Use a little “Clone so White” detergent.
Rinse and repeat.
See…Easy…How could anything go wrong?
I am sooo toast.

Cleaning Duty
I received a note saying “Trooper take my armor and get it cleaned”. Great! Here a chance to impress the boss. Move up the food chain. Easy…Simple…Nothing could anything go wrong.

The Battle for Hoth
After the Clone Wars most of the battles I fought in did not seem much of a challenge. In the late Empire period the most memorable battle I fought was the Battle for Hoth.
My unit was sent to the far side of Echo base in order to attack from the eastern flank.
We were on foot to avoid detection and came a large frozen lake.
As we crossed the lake, we spotted a squad of rebels.

As we crossed the lake, we spotted a squad of rebels.
They charged at us with their Small Team Ice Cannons (S.T.I.Cs) raised high. We dropped several Projected Utility Cells (P.U.Cs) into attack mode and use our own S.T.I.Cs to shoot them at the rebels. After several minutes of fast and furious scrimmaging, my unit had fully checked the main body of rebel advancement. The rebel line broke and they ran for the eastern entrance of Echo base.
We managed to fire three P.U.Cs into the opening, which destroyed it. To this day blowing up an base entrance with three shots is still called ‘A Hoth Trick’.
Even though some of the rebels managed to escape, the eastern exit was block preventing many more rebels from getting away. Lord Vader gave our unit a special award.
Nice isn’t it.

Things I Have Learned Being A Trooper
Having been a Trooper for as long as I have been, I have learn a lot about the universe. Here are the major lessons I’ve learned over the past 26 years.
10: Droids easy, Ewoks hard. (I know it doesn’t make sense to me also)
10: Droids easy, Ewoks hard. (I know it doesn’t make sense to me also)
9: What happens on Dewback Sand dune, stays on Dewback Sand dune.
8: Never be the first trooper though the door.
7: Don’t ask Darth Vader if he needs his asthma inhaler refilled.
6: Unless you are on Hoth, White armor is useless for camouflage.
5: When executing Order 66, never stand to close to the Jedi Master. (It bad for your height)
4: If you are pursuing rebel scum though an asteroid field, unless there are 3,721 of you, odds are you’re not the guy who is going to make it.
3: Expect to be ask if you are Commander Cody around 9 times a day, especially if you are working with Kenobi.
2: If you are a tall trooper, learn to duck when heading into the communication room.
1: Those were the droids we were looking for.

Time to Relax
After cleaning up the "Hudson" party and polishing my new helmet to make it so shiny that you can see it from a mile away, I decided TK 903 and I would spend the day just relaxing.
Ahhhh, this is good!

Clones Gone Wild
Its been a slow week on Coruscant for our unit. The Lt. Cmdr is still away at Big Brother: Naboo and we have been given some R&R time.
Several of the Troopers in the unit have taken to following some kind of space soap opera on the Holonet about a Private Jusdon or Hudson or something. They seem obsessed with the story, which they insist is real. Of course they are all Batch 3 clones, so what can you expect. (to find out more about Batch 3 click here and here )
After spending the morning on duty, I headed back to the barracks to change out of the armor and then I am off to the Coruscant Archives.
When I get to the barracks it seem like all heck is breaking loose inside.
“Game over Man!! Game over”
“Some one save Huxley”
“Ahhhhh, Bug Hunt!!!!”
“Cover Galacta!! Now quick!!”
The voices roared through the hall, along with the sound of some kind of small arms fire like a Tatoonine slug shooter.
As I burst in to the room mayhem is every where. I see several troopers flipping bunks over, diving behind lockers and running like mad.
“I’m Private Hudson, and I am here to save you” shouts a trooper
What kind of blaster does that trooper have?
“No way man, I’m Hudson and it game over for you” Yell another clone.
“Well. I’m the real Hudson. Me and Boba are protecting Queen Galacta!”
What in the name of the Kamino makers is going on here? Why does that trooper have a wig on and where did he get the cantaloupes from? And where did that kid come from? (looks kind of funny)
I shout at the top of my voice “What the is going on here! Why have you thrashed this place!”
They all stop and look at me.
“Uhh, we were just trying to be like Private Hudson. You know from the Holonet” one trooper say sheepishly
“Yeah, we just play acting” another chimes in. “General Kenobi says it good for us to have heroes. I think he meant him, but we like Hudson better”
I look around at the mess and the weird outfits. “Okay, your lot are Hudson, and DK 198 is some kind of blonde alien…”
“Uh that Queen Galacta” one trooper informs me
“Okay, then Queen Galacta. But your in a wig” I reply
“Yeah” say DK 198 “ I got lucky to play the Queen”
Got Lucky???
“And you in the lazy boy, who are you supposed to be” I called out
“I am Vasquez!.” He calls back
Another clone yell, “you don’t look any thing like Vasquez!!! Look at my outfit.”
Vasquez?? Who is Vasquez????
“Yarrggggg! Grrrrrr… Look at me, I’m a Xenomorph! Grrrr” Trooper ML 567 shouts as he runs into the room.
Just as I think this is all going to go even more wrong, Commander Cody walked into the barracks.
“Thank goodness you are here Commander” I begin to say, “There is something very wrong going on here”
“ I can see that, trooper.” Commander Cody say with authority, “I was supposed to get to be Queen Galacta!! Damm you, Damm you all for starting without me”
I just head out of the barracks and hope Lt. Cmdr. Oneida come back soon. Really soon.

Red Letter Day at the Barracks
It is exciting around the barracks today. The Lt. Cmdr. sent a message that we are getting our new helmets today.!!! The A-D4173 model. I am so excited I can’t sit still.
New Helmet day is always the coolest. Not only are they a new design, but the new helmets have all sorts of new features.
The A-D4173 model comes with many new features. New and better “snore reduction” shielding help a trooper sleep on the job and avoid being noticed. A better “head coolant” system for trips to Tatooine or Mustafar. A new anti-helmet hair contour inside. And best of all the A-D4173 are equipped with I-Pods, so each troopers can have their own sound track (though everyone seems to just replay the Imperial March and Dr. Dre.)
But take a look yourself. It is a thing of beauty.
Excuse me now, by I think I have to go polish my helmet for the next few hours.

Living in the Pits
The Lt. Cmdr's car arrived from Naboo today.
She asked that we make sure it is smog checked, tuned-up and washed by the time she get back.
No Problem!
We are on the job.

Served at Last
After spending the better part of the afternoon helping the monkey power wash General Kenobi, I was finally head over to Anakin’s room. Man, is it hot in the temple or what? It got to be at least ninety in this place. It’s making me a little sleepy.
Skywaker is not in his room! Oh just great. Well, I might as well look around ( I can do it legally due the extension of the Republica Act passed overwhelmingly by the Senate)
Let’s see in the closet. Wow! that is a big picture of Senator Amidala.
Hey, there is another picture on his desk.
And what is that? Is that a picture of the Senator on his pillow case?
Hey this give me an idea. *searches for a envelope and pen*
Now just leave the Failure to Appear Notice in the envelope.
Consider yourself served, Skywalker.
I leave the room and start to head out of the Temple, my work here is done. Dang, I am getting sleepy. I look around and see a reading room.
Maybe I just take a little nap. Soft chair, warm room
zzzz zzzzz zzzzzzz
“mister, wake up mister” child’s voice call out. I slowly wake up and see a group of younglings and Harvey is with them.
“I wanted to say sorry about the stairs before” Harvey says. “Me and my friends wanted to make it up to you and painted your armor.”
He hold up a small mirror. “Do you like it mister?”
Oh well, another day another credit.

Enter the Temple
I am back up to the top of the Jedi Temple stairs. Again I am winded, but keeping an eye for that crayon nosed freak. I am able to make my way over to the main entrance, when I spot General Kenobi… with a monkey taped to his leg???.
I snap a salute. “General Kenobi, Sir”
“Hey, yer one of them clone fellas, right!”
“Sir, yes Sir” General Kenobi still hasn’t returned my salute. “uhh, Sir” I nod my head up towards my hand.
“Oh, Yeah. Y’all into that military stuff” he finally returns my salute haphazardly.
‘Sir, you seem to have a monkey taped to you leg. Is there a problem?”
“What yer sayin? Yer tryin to say I stole this monkey? Well, I didn’t. I paid fer him fair and square! Y’all disrespectin me and my monkey?”
“No disrespect meant, Sir” I looked around awkwardly. “You don’t happen to know where Anakin Skywalker is do you?”
“Well, Ah might…Ah might, but you have to help me first. Master Yoda is always yellin bout my Cheeto dust, so yer goin to help on a little matter. Don’t go lookin so worried, ma monkey will help yer.” he began to walk into the Temple and I follow.
10 minutes later
(I hate my job some days)

Serving Papers
The morning went well. I was able to serve Failure to Appear Notices on most of the being on the list. The Rodian, 2 of the Hutts (Thacha the Hutt moved with no forwarding address) were easy. The Mandalorian was a little harder, but I led him to believe there was a bounty on Thacha, but to take the job he needed a clean record and would have to stop by the Coruscant court house and clear up his little problem. Fell for it like a handmaiden hearing one of Captain Typho’s lines for the first time.
Anyhow, I saved the worst for last and headed over to the Jedi Temple.
Man that’s a lot of steps. I am little winded when I get to the top. A trooper better get in shape if he’s climbing these stairs any time soon.
Then I heard a small voice.
‘Hey, mister. Why didn’tcha use the escalator?”
I look at what has to be one of the smallest Jedi. What that hanging out of his nose? A crayon?
I turn on the official charm. “Hi, kiddo. Can you tell me if Anakin Skywalker is home?”
“My name is Harvey. I like Cheetos and wrasseling, just like my hero”
I nod pleasantly. “Uhh, that nice. But is Skywalker in the Temple”
“Master Yoda not here. He with his big brother, Baboo”
Dang, this kid isn’t the brightest lightsaber in the room. “What?? Come on kid, just…”
“My name is Harvey. Master Windu has smelly feet. Do you have smelly feet? Wanna see what we learned in Jedi class today”
“I’ll tell you what ki… Harvey, you can show me what you learned and then take me to Skywalker, Okay?”
“Okay, it called Force push” Harvey look at me and pushes his hand out slowly. I felt the slightest tap on my chest
I start walking to the Temple door. “That great Harvey, I am sure you make a great Jedi, someday. Now can we…”
“Wait wait I can do better” Harvey looks and pushes faster. Something hit my chest like a charging Banta and I am flung down the Temple Stairs.
Screaming like a protocol droid all the way.
It’s going to be a long afternoon.

A Not Cool Assignment
I knew it was going to be a bad day when I woke up. When I checked the duty rooster, I am again reminded how much I miss having the Lt. Cmdr around and how much I dislike being stationed on Coruscant.
I have been assigned to serve failure to appear notices to lowlife on this planet. I am a highly trained combat ready trooper and I get to do mailbot duty.
Oh well. Ours is not to reason why… How bad could it be. Let’s see who is on the list:
Beedo the Rodian, 1809 Greenway Lane
Mudda the Hutt, Landing Bay 17
Thacha the Hutt, Hutt Trailerville space 119
Bricka the Hutt, 560987 Oteenie Way
a Mandalorian, Hotel Denoucement, Room 13 (save that one for the next guy)
and oh man! You have got to be kidding me:
Anakin Skywalker, Jedi Temple.
The universe hates me.

New Trooper???
So with the Lt. Cmdr. away on Big Brother: Naboo and a few of us clones free from pulling guard/removal duty at Senator Ask Aak’s press conference we did what we normally do at time like this: nose around the barracks. I told Epsilon 775 and Commando rage to stay out of the LT. Cmdr’s room, but did the listen? Nooooo. Her security devise went off and sprayed them with a combination of baby blue paint and Bantha “juice”.
While, they went to try to clean up before the Lt. Cmdr came back I goofed around on hacking into the personal files (just for fun, nothing malicious, just a few assignment changes for a few folks)
But then I came across this trooper’s Holophoto.
There is something strange about this trooper. I can’t quite figure it out. I think this trooper isn’t from our unit. The only designation I found was: W0NT D8 M3. Hmmmmm

The Rest of the Press Conference
Reporter 3: Senator Ask Aak, recently galactic lobbyist Jerk AbramHutt admitted to, and I quote from the court document, “trading Speedos and Oreos for political favors, giving bribes to members of the Senate and dressing like a Hutt.” It is rumored that Chancellor Palpatine had his photo taken with AbramHutt and then let AbramHutt meet with many of the top government officials. Do you have any comment?
Senator Ask Aak: (adjusting his Speedo and wiping Oreo crumbs from his robe): Again with the hating the Republic. What has this Universe come to when reporters make up these baseless accusations? First of all, the Chancellor has his photo taken with lots of people. It part of his job. Just like me (wave at TK 266… TK 266 brings/drags the reporter to the front of the room and takes a picture of Senator Ask Aak and her.) Look we have a picture together and doesn’t mean any thing. As for who AbramHutt meet with: How would we know? We don’t follow his calendar. Next Question. Or do you have a follow up (begins to wave at TK 266 again)
Reporter 3: No questions here, I think I’ll head out now to get another job.
Reporter 4: Senator Ask Aak, can you shed any light on the rumor of the Chancellor using “Force” lighting on an Aldraanian Senator?
Senator Ask Aak: That old urban legend making the round again (forced laugher). The truth is it was a cold, dry day on Coruscant and the Chancellor had just walked across a shag carpet while rubbing a balloon on his hair. All a tragic case of static shock overload.
(reporters glance around at each other incredulously)
Senator Ask Aak: Well thank you for all coming here today. If you have any other question or need a press packet, please direct yourself to the prison... I mean information ship the landing deck. For any one who has questions on the “Those Who Hate the Republic Rendition Policy” please board the ship on the left side for a trip to the Gamorrean home world to see how this policy is being enacted. Any takers…anyone. Oh well, I hope this has cleared up any question you may have had. Good Day.
.........................................
The press conference ended pretty quickly. I was surprised how many reporters ended up on the ship to the Gamorrean home world. Never did see their article on the Holonet. Strange all that interest, but no story. Oh well, on to the next assignment.

Cool New Assignment
The Chancellor has been receiving some undue criticisms for the past few months. Because of this the Chancellor began community outreach to let the public hear the truth behind these “allegations”.
My unit was assigned to protection, but not to the Chancellor’s group. We would be traveling with Senator Ask Aak of Malastare. He was an appropriate choice due to his strong support for the Chancellor and his name has the phrase ‘Ask” built right in to it.
It has been a fantastic and successful trip. I learned so much how the Chancellor is fighting hard for all our rights and freedoms.
Here is a sample of the give and take between Senator Ask Aak and the liberal bias press who hate the Republic.
Reporter 1: Senator Ask Aak, There has been a lot of controversy over the unilateral decision to wiretap citizens of the Republic without warrants?
Senator Ask Aak: Why do you reporters hate the Republic so much? The Chancellor talked about his the other day. In his own words:
“One of the methods to secure proper intelligence is to monitor all communications going off-planet to Separatist worlds and outposts. Now, granted there is a whole lot of com traffic going around here on Coruscant, so we have employed filtering methods that allow us to only monitor people that we consider to be bad guys.”
There you have it, we are only looking for badguys and we know who the badguys are. Do you want another attack on Coruscant and the Chancellor being kiddnapped again? The only way we can stop attackes like that from happening is this legal, fair, protecting your rights wiretapping. Next question.
Reporter 1: Coruscant was attacked and the Chancellor was kidnapped? What… When?
Senator Ask Aak: Oh yeah that hasn’t happened yet… NEXT QUESTION (waves to me to remove reporter 1)
Reporter 2: There has been a lot of criticisms of many of the Chancellor's polices, from the wiretapping and excess use of the emergency powers to his supposed meeting with Lobbyist Jerk AbramHutt. What do you have to say to those critics?
Senator Ask Aak: Why do you reporters hate the Republic so much? The Chancellor is only using the powers given to him by the Senate. And when citizens question the Chancellor policies, it only gives aid and comfort to the Separatists. Questioning the Chancellor also hurts our Clone Troopers. How can they do there job if they think the partisan politicians and bias Republic hating press don’t support them? Is that what you are saying, you don’t support the Clone Troopers? Next Question.
Reporter 2: Uh, don’t the Clone Troopers just follow orders no matter what the political situation? I mean they were built and programmed that way, right??
Senator Ask Aak: NEXT QUESTION (waves to me to remove reporter 2)

Batch Mates Graduation Day
This is for the Lt. Cmdr who wanted to see some of the photos of my batch mates. I'm the one in last row on the right... no the left side 3rd from the end. No wait I am in the second row 4th in...ahh heck I can't tell.
But this is our graduation picture for Batch 2 sub group C, class 127 :)

Who I am
Hello one and all. Welcome to the ramblings of a veteran clone trooper. I have had several designations over the years: Alpha 20397, Trooper A-20397 and of course after start of the Republic Navy TK 266.
I am one of several million clone troopers, designed on Kamino at the request of the late Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas. We were all cloned from the Great Bounty Hunter Janga Fett, with genetic changes to make better soldiers. The first 200,000 of the clone troopers were “experimental”. We had four batches: Alpha 1-4. Each group had some small problems.
Batch 1 (Alpha 1): Batch 1 were given heightened aggression. Now that is just want we needed more aggressive Jangas. They were a little crazy and would go feral in battle, like a Wookiee on a bad hair day. Half the time they would attack each other just out of pure glee. They were used on lots of suicide missions. Almost none are left now.
Batch 2: (Alpha 2): Batch 2 ended up with to much of Janga’s solitary genetic traits. It means They make good sniper, forward observers and special op. The down side: don’t like hanging out with other clones, loyalty to Republic not as engrained, no room for advancement.
Batch 3: (Alpha 3): Man something was just wrong in that batch. The rumor is that Lemur Su was mixing up JJ style brownies in the lab that day and something got contaminated. We just don’t talk about batch 3 that much.
Batch 4: (Alpha 4): This batch was just about perfect, with the exception of a small sweating problem. If they were in the sun much (like on Tatooine or Mustafar) they got “Janga Funk”. That is a disorder that caused a lot of armor to be retired way to soon.
Well, that's a little about me. More to come.
