Rescue of Hunter

Early in the Imperial Era, Clone Force 99 launched a mission to rescue their leader, Hunter, from the Galactic Empire. Hunter had been captured on Daro while the squad was rescuing another clone, Gregor, from Imperial custody. He was taken to Kamino by Crosshair, a former member of the so-called "Bad Batch" who had remained with the Empire, as he hoped to lay a trap for the rest of the squad. Unbeknownst to Vice Admiral Rampart, who was overseeing an operation to strip Tipoca City of anything useful to the Empire before destroying it, Crosshair wanted to try and persuade his former comrades to join the Empire. During a confrontation in the city's training facility, Crosshair killed most of his own Elite Squad Troopers while attempting to persuade the Batch, who refused the offer. After ES-02 reported to Rampart that Crosshair had lost control of the situation, Rampart had her evacuated before commencing bombardment of the city. The Batch stunned and took Crosshair prisoner before fleeing the sinking city. They eventually made it back to their ship after a dangerous underwater journey, but left Crosshair behind after he refused to leave the Empire.
