Here's another request off of DA that I did. I was asked to write about Ion Squad...a squad of Republic Commandos who did NOT obey Order 66.
Hope you enjoy
Clone Commandos -- Ion Team -- Captain Climber
Trained to be the best of the best,
We all stand tall.
Alone we are nothing,
Like fingers of a hand we clench the enemy by the throat,
extinguishing their plot with a well placed explosive or perfectly aimed shot.
From the rain covered platforms of Kamino,
Through catacombs of Geonosis,
Trekking deeper into the forests of Kashyyk,
Our missions take us far and wide, but no element is too tough.
The Republic has come to love us,
The Confederation has come to fear us,
our front line brothers nearly resent us,
but all have heard of our legendary efforts.
My brothers, we were Ion Team,
A critical element of the 22nd Air Combat Wing.
To the Corporate Alliance headquarters on Murkhana we were sent,
with Master Jedi Roan Shryne.
Together we flew, landed, and fought.
Forward to the shield generator and on we went!
In came a message: Execute Order 66;
To us this was an invalid command.
None of it made sense:
The droids shutting down,
The quick surrender,
The execution orders.
No..we wont follow the order.
We fought our brothers with non-lethal traps.
Its only right for those poor puppets who have been mislead to their fates.
The Jedi have not become the enemy...instead we have.
The Jedi escaped with the help of our preciously spent time.
Now two brethren of Ion lie dead on the floor,
Not by the work of Commander Salvo,
Rather they were cleaved by the red blade of our new master.
We've fled into the forest,but to what end?
We swore to die another day..and now we will,
Not as heroes, but as fugitives.
Though the hand is broken, Trace and I will push on.
Goodbye my brothers.
