===== 104th Armored Battalion ===== {{ :cwp:wolfpack_emblem.svg |}} ----- ^ NAME | 104th Armored Battalion | ^ IN SERVICE | 99 BHR - Current | ^ ENLISTED | 150 | ^ Commander | CC -0404 “Not Found” | ^ Assistant Commander | | ====Overview==== ## The 104th Battalion, known as the "Wolf Pack", is a prestigious unit within the Republic Judicial Forces, the Galactic Republic’s modest peacekeeping fleet as of 981 RSY. Led by the revered Jedi General Plo Koon and Clone Commander CC-3636 "Wolffe", this battalion stands out for its loyalty, resilience, and versatility in both defensive operations and high-stakes missions. In a galaxy on the brink of conflict—marked by tensions with the Separatist coalition and the Trade Federation’s droid buildup—the 104th embodies bravery, brotherhood, and unyielding determination. Though the Republic lacks a standing army post-Ruusan Reformation, the 104th serves as an elite rapid-response force, trusted to protect key assets and maintain order. Their distinctive gray armor, adorned with wolf motifs, symbolizes their fierce unity and sets them apart as a formidable presence in an era of uncertainty. ====Organizational Structure==== The 104th Battalion operates under a structured hierarchy typical of the Grand Army, yet their specialization in rescue and rapid-response missions gives them a unique edge: * Commanding Officer: Jedi General Plo Koon, a Kel Dor Jedi Master whose compassion and tactical brilliance guide the battalion. Known for his mantra, "Not to me" (in response to clones being called expendable), he inspires fierce loyalty. *Clone Commander: CC-3636 "Wolffe", an early clone prototype from Kamino, bred for leadership before the mass production of the Grand Army. Wolffe’s stern demeanor and cybernetic eye—earned in a skirmish with Outer Rim pirates—mark him as a battle-hardened veteran. * Wolfpack Squad: An elite subunit within the battalion, led personally by Wolffe. Key members include: * Support Units: The battalion includes clone pilots like Warthog, who helm LAAT/i gunships, and ARF troopers on AT-RT walkers for scouting and mobility. * Naval Command: Admiral Barton Coburn, who oversees fleet operations, often coordinates with the 104th during space engagements. The battalion’s flexibility allows it to deploy in small, agile squads or as a full-scale assault force and is a go to for breakthrough engagements. ====What Are They Known For==== The 104th Battalion specializes in search and rescue missions, honed through a decade of stress tests under Drayce’s and Dooku’s oversight. Deployed to recover Republic assets and personnel from hostile zones, they excel in space and ground operations, using LAAT/i gunships to secure strategic points. Their gray armor, adorned with wolf motifs—a tribute to their unity forged in early trials—distinguishes them as a standout unit, feared by adversaries and revered by allies. **Signature Strengths and Missions** * The Ryndellia Incident (978 RSY): When pirates ambushed a Republic convoy in the Ryndellia system, Plo Koon and Wolffe led a gunship assault to extract survivors. * Malastare Extraction (974 RSY): The battalion braved seismic storms to recover a Judicial survey team trapped in a cave collapse, with Boost repairing a damaged gunship mid-mission to secure the evacuation. * Teth Skirmish (979 RSY): Sent to retrieve a senator’s aide from slaver captivity, the 104th outmaneuvered Zygerrian enforcers, cementing their reputation for daring rescues. **Combat Readiness** * Mid Rim Patrols (975-980 RSY): Using AT-RTs and gunships, they repelled pirate raids on trade lanes, a response to growing Separatist agitation. * Druckenwell Defense (977 RSY): The battalion held a key outpost against a mercenary assault, testing their ground tactics under Drayce’s watchful eye. **Brotherhood and Identity** * Plo Koon’s personal bond with his clones, rare among Jedi, fosters a tight-knit unit. After a near-fatal 972 RSY mission against Ryloth slavers, Wolffe introduced the wolf-themed armor, stating: > //"We rise as a pack, stronger for every scar."// {{ :cwp:image_2025-03-25_050511997.png?900 |}}
