History

In around 18 BBY,^[2] during their escape from the Galactic Empire's Tantiss Base on the^[1] planet Wayland,^[3] the clones Omega and Crosshair had made it into the forests of Mount Tantiss and located the crash site of an Imperial shuttle, hoping to use its communication systems to contact their squad. However, when the comms system did not work and a group of Imperial forces arrived in a Rho-class transport shuttle, Crosshair made a new plan. He asked Omega if she knew Plan 72, and when Omega confirmed that their companion Tech had made her memorize it, she and Crosshair split up. When a TK stormtrooper squad landed at their location, Crosshair distracted the stormtroopers while Omega hijacked the newly arrived shuttle with the help of the lurca hound Batcher, whom she had released from Imperial captivity earlier. Omega, Crosshair, and Batcher successfully commandeered the shuttle and fled Wayland.^[1]
