- "You've got some medals coming your way"
- ―Obi-Wan Kenobi to Clone Force 99, Rex, and Echo
After the Battle of Anaxes, a medal was awarded to Clone Force 99, as well as Captain Rex and ARC trooper Echo, who was simultaneously promoted to Clone Corporal. Following the mission, Jedi General Mace Windu thanked the clone troopers for their service, adding that because of their courage and bravery, the Republic's shipyards would soon be working again. However, the CT-99s declined to accept the medals, with Tech commenting that they were "not really our thing". Clone Sergeant Hunter invited Echo to join them and Rex remarked that if that was where he felt his place was, then it was where he belonged; thereafter Echo was absorbed into the Bad Batch as the fifth member of the squad.[1]
