"The Bad Batch" Episode Guide | The Clone Wars - Season 7, Episode 1

Fort Anaxes is a remote military base on the planet Anaxes during the Clone Wars. At one time, it is the site of the Separatist cyber center, an important strategic and tactical location for Republic troops. After war's end, a cataclysmic event obliterates the planet, though miraculously, Fort Anaxes remains intact. The facility becomes a fuel depot and meeting place for those who require privacy in their dealings. Unbeknownst to visitors to Fort Anaxes, it has also become home to a colony of vicious fyrnocks nested on the massive rock.

The boisterous bruiser of Clone Force 99, a group of elite soldiers known as the Bad Batch, Wrecker is a tower of a soldier, with powerful muscles that make him far stronger than the average clone. He earns his nickname well, as he has a flair for barreling through any obstacle thrown his way and serves as the resident demolitions expert -- a job he performs with much enthusiasm.

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.

A Separatist admiral known for his cunning and ruthlessness, Trench commands the Separatist blockade of Christophsis, where Senator Bail Organa and his relief effort are pinned down and in danger of capture. Although Anakin Skywalker outwits him and Trench's flagship is destroyed, the skilled tactician survives to fight another day thanks to an array of cybernetic implants.

Rex once served the Republic on the frontlines during the Clone Wars, taking orders from Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano as first a captain and later a commander. He viewed military service as an honor, and his loyalty to the Republic and his Jedi Generals was absolute. But when Order 66 was executed, it was Ahsoka who helped to free Rex from the programming of his inhibitor chip. At the dawn of the Empire, Rex has escaped with his life but is considered killed-in-action in the eyes of the new regime. That allows him to operate in the shadows and help any clone brothers who remain separate from the Imperial ranks.

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.
