Mission to Desix

The Mission to Desix, also known as the Coup at Desix or campaign on Desix, occurred in the early Imperial Era when the Galactic Empire dispatched troopers to the former Separatist planet Desix. Led by Clone Marshal Commander Cody and his squad, the objective was to rescue Grotton, the Imperial-appointed governor of the planet, from the Separatist holdout commanded by original governor Tawni Ames, who wished her planet to remain independent. Cody was accompanied by the sniper Crosshair, a genetically defective clone with enhanced abilities whom Cody had specifically requested for his unit. Although the clone stormtroopers were successful in retrieving Grotton and confronting Ames, Cody refused Grotton's orders to execute Ames for her actions. Crosshair, however, complied. In the aftermath, while the Empire established its control over Desix, Cody was disillusioned by what had happened and deserted from Imperial service, while Crosshair was reassigned to serve under CC-1226.
