Vanguard Axis

In the unusual group of specialist clone commandos called Clone Force 99 (or the Bad Batch), Tech is the computer and weapons specialist and easily the most talkative of the group. With his data analysis skills, he can puzzle through technical issues at speeds even faster than some droids. But sometimes his matter-of-fact outlook on the situation fails to consider the emotions of other members of his squad, like Omega.

Omega travels the galaxy with her brothers, Clone Force 99, as a formidable member of their squad. Before the Empire came to power, she served as a medical assistant to Nala Se on the clone's homeworld of Kamino, spending her life working in Tipoca City. Omega is herself a product of the Kaminoans cloning experimentation. Although skilled with her energy bow and other weapons, Omega now puts her curious mind and intelligence to use for the good of her found family and their very survival, relying on her strategic thinking and compassion as they eke out a new life for themselves in a changing galaxy.

Hunter is a strong and stoic soldier with a special set of skills. As the leader of the Bad Batch,—technically known as Clone Force 99, a group formed as the result of Kaminoan experiments to create a specialist unit of clone commandos—Hunter has extraordinarily keen senses that give him an edge when tracking down his targets. But his allegiance has been tested in the aftermath of Order 66, and his duty is now to Clone Force 99 alone, including the newest member, young Omega.

They call themselves the Bad Batch. In the age of the Republic, the motley crew making up Clone Force 99 boasted an astounding 100 percent success rate and skills unseen in any other clone troopers. But with the end of the Clone Wars and the rise of the Empire, these soldiers have had to re-evaluate their place in the galaxy. Originally a four-member squad — Hunter, Wrecker, Tech, and Crosshair — the team has adapted over the years to welcome new clone members, including Echo and Omega. Those who remain continue to operate as a unit, using their unique talents to survive at a dangerous time.

Yanna is a Wookiee elder who leads a treetop sanctuary after the Clone Wars have brought destruction to her planet. With Imperial invaders and their allied opportunists burning through Kashyyyk's forests, Yanna and her assembled warriors strive to maintain a quiet peace on their world.

Once a rare example of a Wookiee in the Jedi Order, Gungi is also among the few to survive Order 66. As a youngling, Gungi was temperamental and expressive. During the time of the Clone Wars, he needed to learn to slow down his impulsive ways to complete the ancient rite of passage known as The Gathering. Once the Empire took hold, Gungi survived in hiding until he was captured by members of the Axis Vanguard. Luckily, Omega and the rest of Clone Force 99 found him and returned Gungi to his homeworld of Kashyyyk.
