The title of this article is conjectural.

Although this article is based on canonical information, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.

A raiders' hideout was located on a mountain on the planet Barton IV by 18 BBY. The hideout featured several cargo crates, a snow skiff containing two cargo crates stolen from the nearby Imperial Depot on the planet and at least one power generator. The hideout also featured a stack of pressure mines atop a cargo crate and was guarded by local raiders. Around 18 BBY, CT-9904, "Crosshair," and Clone Commander Mayday attacked the hideout in an effort to recover two cargo crates stolen from the depot by local raiders.

History

Around 18 BBY,[1] CT-9904, "Crosshair" and Clone Commander Mayday were ordered by Lieutenant Nolan to recover two cargo crates containing TK stormtrooper gear that was stolen by local raiders. The two clone troopers obliged and followed a blood trail of a raider that was shot by Crosshair during the raiders attack on an Imperial Depot on the planet. After the two clones followed the blood trail, it led them to the hideout near the depot where the local raiders were based. Crosshair then closely observed the hideout and spotted two raiders guarding the entrance of the hideout while the rest of the raiders were at the hideout. Afterwards, the two clones stealthily took out the two raiders guarding the entrance and moved into the hideout. Crosshair threw an EMP grenade that managed to incapacitate at least four raiders. The two clones fought against the raiders armed with stolen DC-15A blaster carbines and electrostaffs.[2]

During the battle, Crosshair shot at a raider before the raider could leave the hideout with the two cargo crates stolen from the depot. Crosshair then shot at a stack of pressure mines atop a cargo crate resulting in the hideout being destroyed. In the aftermath, Mayday and Crosshair found the cargo crates stolen and realized that the crates contained TK stormtrooper gear. Furious, Mayday exclaimed how the clone troopers could of have used the gear. Mayday lamented that the clone's loyalty seemingly meant nothing to the Empire. Before Crosshair could reply, the battle fought against the raiders caused an avalanche to occur leading to Crosshair and Mayday to seek shelter. Eventually, the avalanche buried Mayday and Crosshair in snow. Crosshair however managed to survive and travelled with Mayday back to the depot.[2]

Behind the scenes

The hideout made a first appearance in "The Outpost," the twelfth episode of the second season of Star Wars: The Bad Batch.[2] It was released on March 8, 2023.[3]

Notes and references

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 Per the reasoning here, the seventh and eighth episodes of The Bad Batch Season 2, "The Clone Conspiracy" and "Truth and Consequences," can be placed in 18 BBY. Therefore, all Season 2 episodes proceeding "The Clone Conspiracy" occur between 19 BBY, which features the end of The Bad Batch Season 1 according to Star Wars: Timelines, and 18 BBY. The Galactic Empire, the formation of which Star Wars: Timelines dates to 19 BBY, sent Mayday's squad to Barton IV over a year prior to the events of the twelfth episode, "The Outpost." As it occurs over a year into the Imperial Era and is set shortly after the events of "Truth and Consequences," the events of "The Outpost" occur around 18 BBY. Following that logic, the ninth through eleventh episodes ("The Crossing" through "Metamorphosis") are also set around 18 BBY because they occur between the events of "Truth and Consequences" and "The Outpost." Finally, all season 2 episodes set after "The Outpost" occur shortly after its events, thereby placing those episodes around 18 BBY as well.
