Soooooo I have a new squad of clone trooper ocs and I just finished their designs (their faces at least), so it’s time to introduce them!
Meet RC-6173 (He/Him, Condor (He/Him), Crumbs (He/Him), and Vila (He/She)!
Putting the backstory under a cut because it gets dark quick. And also it is LONG lol.
So, RC-6173 (also known as Numbers, Nona (short for No-Name, or Ori’vod) is a Commando. I haven’t figured out the name of his original squad, but I’m calling these four Freedom Squad for soon-to-be-obvious reasons.
So, a year or so into the war, 73 and his squad get sent on a rescue mission for some Important Person who was kidnapped by the Seppies. The mission was a success, and they even managed to grab some intel to bring back as a bonus. Except the Important Person they'd rescued hadn't actually been kidnapped. He was a double-agent for the Seps and hadn't actually planned on being rescued, but had gone along with it so as to not blow his cover. However, he could not let them return to the Republic with the intel they had grabbed. So, he managed to send out a signal to the Seps, intending on getting "kidnapped" again and killing the Squad.
Unfortunately for him, the Seps decided to just kill all of them, including the traitor. The Squad was overwhelmed by the several droid ships that had been sent after them and attempted to escape via making an emergency landing on the planet who's orbit they'd entered. They didn't make it. The ship crashed, killing everyone except for 73, whose helmet had broken and given him that facial scar.
The planet they'd crash-landed on was in the Outer Rim, and near enough to civilization that there were scavengers on them within minutes, who found a still breathing but unconscious Commando and saw and opportunity. Something something, 73 is fixed up enough to be functional (sans sight in one eye) and sold to an underground fighting pit.
Thankfully, he is about to get a friend! You see, criminals in the Outer Rim see great opportunity in attacking diplomatic parties, because there is guaranteed to be rich people and expensive things to steal. Unfortunately for a certain squad of Corries, the diplomatic party they happen to be escorting is targeted, and it does not go well for them. Long story short, the natborns are either killed or taken for ransom, and most of the Corries are killed, save for three (Condor, Crumbs, and Vila), who are dragged off to be sold, because clones always catch a high price. Condor is sent off to the same fighting pits as our Commando. Crumbs and Vila are bought by a local brothel. It's not a fun time for any of them.
Condor is thrown into the same cell/kennel as our Commando, because the fighting pits don't have much room in the first place and they figure the two clones won't try to kill each other. They are correct. Commando is given a hurt and scared kih'vod and immediately the ori'vod instincts kick in. Condor is at least glad that he isn't alone here, but is very worried about Crumbs and Vila. Commando helps his new kih'vod adjust and adapt, and they wait for an opportunity. As soon as one is given, they slaughter their way out of there and go to retrieve the other two Corries. Getting them out is even easier than fighting their way out of the pits, and as they leave they take the opportunity to burn the place down.
I haven’t figured out what happens after this, but I know for sure that they aren’t returning to the GAR. 73 is not escaping one Master just to turn around and go right back to the first people who enslaved them.
Other details! Condor is a medic, and he and Crumbs are dating! They and Vila got their facial tattoos after escaping (Condor and Crumbs match :3). Most of Vila’s piercings and her split tongue were done on Coruscant. He had an easier time at the brothel than Crumbs did, as Vila had already been exchanging “favors” for credits back on Coruscant.
