Escape from Kamino

Shortly after the formation of the Galactic Empire, the members of Clone Force 99 were forced to escape the planet Kamino. The members of the so-called "Bad Batch" were enhanced in ways which made them immune to the inhibitor chips which caused the rest of the clone troopers to carry out Order 66, with the exception of team sniper Crosshair. In order to test the squad's loyalty, Admiral Wilhuff Tarkin had ordered the Bad Batch on a mission to Onderon, supposedly to wipe out a Separatist holdout. However, the unit refused to carry out the mission after encountering civilian refugees being protected by Saw Gerrera and his Partisans, who had formerly fought for the Galactic Republic. Clone Sergeant Hunter decided to return to Kamino to rescue Omega, a young enhanced clone who had attempted to warn the unit about going on the mission.

The Bad Batch was arrested upon their return and thrown in the brig with Omega, who had been taken into custody by the Coruscant Guard after they found her in the Batch's barracks. Tarkin had Crosshair taken away to have the effects of his chip enhanced, making him totally loyal to the Empire. The rest of the squad escaped from their cells and made their way to their starship, where they were confronted by Crosshair and the Imperial shock troopers. During the firefight, Crosshair ordered one of his troopers to close the hangar doors in order to prevent his former team from leaving. However, the system controlling the doors was secretly overridden by Doctor Nala Se, allowing Omega and the Bad Batch to escape from the Kaminoan homeworld.
