In truth, they fell into Separatist custody and were transferred to a secret prison on Rattatak. Neither Obi-Wan nor Alpha, however, died in the explosion that supposedly took their lives. The Republic was dealt its greatest blow with the apparent death of Obi-Wan and Alpha while they were clearing out a downed All Terrain Armored Transport.Īlpha is tortured on Rattatak by Asajj Ventress. As Republic casualties mounted, the rebels, their forces now bolstered with the addition of Separatist battle droids, stepped up their attacks. The initial days of the assault saw victory after victory for the Republic, but, as the rain continued to pour, their assault vehicles became bogged down in the mud and became an easy target for the Jabiimi guerrillas. This time, the three were to lead the assault on the obscure Outer Rim world of Jabiim, which had recently declared its allegiance to Count Dooku's Confederacy. It was then that Anakin, uncomfortable with calling him simply "clone," named the ARC trooper "Alpha".įollowing the mission to Ohma-D'un, Alpha was once again chosen by Kenobi and Anakin to accompany them on another important mission. Under Kenobi's orders, Alpha went with Anakin to find and destroy the bio-weapon responsible for Ohma-D'un's destruction before it could be let loose in Theed.
Before they could complete their investigation into the cause of the genocidal slaughter, however, they fell under attack from the bounty hunter Durge and the Dark Jedi Asajj Ventress. When the trio arrived on the surface, they found the Gungan colony in ruins and bodies for as far as the eye could see. Kenobi, having witnessed his lethal effectiveness on Kamino, took Alpha along for the ride. When Naboo lost contact with the Gungan colony moon of Ohma-D'un, a Separatist attack was suspected, and General Kenobi and Skywalker were sent to investigate. When the plan worked and the attack was successfully repelled, Alpha then aborted the detonation sequence. Ti wished there was another way, so Alpha made a strategy for Obi-Wan and Anakin to collapse the transparisteel walls linking the facility while Ti held back the ocean before they sealed the place off. After remarking, "They grow up loyal to the Republic, or they don't grow up at all," it was clear to the Jedi that they were not dealing with an average clone trooper.
When the city's clone stocks became compromised, Alpha rigged the lab to self-destruct, much to the dismay of the Jedi. As the Confederacy's droid forces pushed towards the heart of Tipoca City, the Kaminoan Prime Minister, Lama Su, activated the ARCs and authorized their deployment to hot-spots across Kamino in a last-ditch effort to save the planet's precious cloning facilities.ĭuring the fighting to push the droids from Tipoca's central armory, Alpha teamed up with Jedi Master Shaak Ti, Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Kenobi's Padawan, Anakin Skywalker. " They grow up loyal to the Republic, or they don't grow up at all." ―Alpha-17, on the young clones on Kamino Īlpha-17 during the First Battle of Kamino.Īlpha, as was the case with the rest of the ARCs, first saw action with the Separatist invasion of Kamino.
