Assassination of Slip

In the months following the bombardment on Tipoca City, Vice Admiral Rampart ordered the assassination of several individuals with knowledge of his involvement in the event. Among the targets was Slip, who was followed by Clone X as he traveled to an isolated industrial area of Coruscant to meet with Rex. Senator Riyo Chuchi and two of her guards also tracked the fleeing clone stormtrooper to his destination, ignorant of the plot against him, and approached him before his intended contact could arrive. Slip, spooked by the knowledge that he had been followed, attempted to run, prompting Clone X to open fire and kill him.

However, unconvinced that he had stopped Slip's story from spreading, X chose to expand his mission parameters to include the elimination of senator Chuchi. He continued to trade fire with her guards as they escorted the senator into a nearby abandoned building, and eventually killed both of them. He then followed the terrified Chuchi as she ran onto a catwalk, but before he could fire the killing shot, he was stunned by Rex, who had just arrived for the meeting with Slip.

Rex and Chuchi took the captured assassin to Trace Martez's repair shop to interrogate him, but rather than reveal any further information, X bit down on an implanted suicide shocker, killing himself.
