X2

"My designation is X2. I have no other name."

- X2

X2 was a Force-sensitive clone trooper created by the Galactic Republic during the late Clone Wars. A clone created with the DNA of Jedi Master Falon Grey, X2 was assigned to fight the CIS. His twin clone brother was X1, created for the same purpose.

Later on, after being betrayed by his twin, X2 was discovered and recruited by Master Rahm Kota to join the Alliance to Restore the Republic. He was then trained by Grand Master Luke Skywalker of the New Jedi Order, which led to a final confrontation between him and X1.

Early life
"The second of two clones created from the DNA of a Jedi, I looked up to my elder brother X1 from an early age. Raised in secret by the Kaminoans, X1 and I trained the Grand Army of the Republic before the start of the Clone Wars."

- X2

X2 was a Force-sensitive clone trooper created by the Kaminoans from the genetic template of the Jedi Knight Falon Grey. At some point prior to the Clone Wars, Grey was badly injured while traveling with his master, Rahm Kota, and Kota made an emergency landing on the planet of Kamino. The native Kaminoans healed Grey, but in exchange they took Grey's genetic sample without his notice and permission. From the sample, they produced two clones, X1 and X2; the latter was conceived one hour after X1 and thus became known as the younger "brother." The two clones grew up unaware of their origins, raised in secret by the Kaminoans alongside other clones produced on Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas' request from the bounty hunter Jango Fett's genes. During this time, X1 and X2 were responsible for training their clone brethren.

Clone Wars
"It was under the twin suns of Tatooine that this story truly began&hellip;"

- X2

When the Clone Wars began in 22 BBY, X1 and X2 became clone troopers in the Grand Army of the Republic. The two served together throughout the conflict, displaying exceptional skills. Taking their skills into account, the Galactic Republic assigned X1 and X2 to train new batches of clone troopers in the art of warfare. Toward the end of the war in 19 BBY, X1 and X2 were assigned to Jedi Master Ferroda on the planet of Tatooine, where they were to oversee the training of new clone troopers. On the planet, X2's first training course was cut short when a Confederate recon droid was spotted inside the Republic outpost. X2 chased it down and destroyed the droid. When it was revealed that the droid was only a part of an entire recon patrol, X2 took control of an AT-RT and destroyed the other droids. Flying a V-Wing into space, he followed a transport ship from which the droids had been deployed and destroyed it as well.

Although the incursion had been fended off, X1 realized that Tatooine was soon going to be invaded, and the two brothers started rallying defenses. The attack soon followed; X2 and his brother first assisted clone pilots who had been pinned down inside the base by the droids. The Separatists, however, deployed OG-9 homing spider droids onto the battlefield. Since they had no heavy weaponry to destroy the spider droids, the two brothers had to go through a battle droid-invaded cantina in order to bypass them. Once the cantina had been cleared of the droid forces, X2 was provided with a rocket launcher from a clone and destroyed the spider droids with it. After the spider droids were dealt with, X1 sent in reinforcements, and X2 manned an AA turret to shoot droid starfighters out from the sky. He then took control of the outpost's ion cannon, taking down the shields of a Separatist Providence-class carrier/destroyer above the planet.

Having cleared the base's hangar, X2 and X1 boarded V-Wings and took the fight into space. After taking down some of the Vulture droid starfighters, X2 and some of the clone troopers boarded the unshielded cruiser. X2 then destroyed the ship's reactor core and escaped on his V-Wing right before the cruiser exploded. The Battle of Tatooine was won by the Republic. For their bravery, X1 and X2 were invited to the galactic capital of Coruscant to receive medals from Supreme Chancellor Palpatine himself. In the midst of the award ceremony, however, Separatist forces attacked the planet. After telling some clone troopers to get the Chancellor to safety, X2 and X1 took separate ways through the streets of Coruscant. On his way, X2 encountered and defeated an IG-100 MagnaGuard&mdash;a type of droid serving as a personal bodyguard of the Separatist General Grievous&mdash;and he realized that Grievous himself was behind the attack. He soon spotted Grievous, followed him to a skylane transportation hub and engaged the cyborg in battle. X2 used explosives against Grievous that threw him into the planet's traffic and injured him.

Having faced with a challenging enemy, Grievous decided to retreat and continue with his main objective, the search for Palpatine, whom he eventually kidnapped and transferred to his flagship, the Invisible Hand. X2 and X1 took nearby Aggressive ReConnaissance-170 starfighters and joined the space battle, engaging Separatist Vulture droids. Soon enough, Jedi Knights Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi arrived at Coruscant in order to rescue the Chancellor. X2 flew as their escort, picking off droid starfighters. As the Jedi closed in on the Invisible Hand, however, they noticed that another destroyer was moving in to assist the flagship. Kenobi dispatched X2 to hijack that destroyer and, when X2 had infiltrated the ship, Kenobi sent two more troopers to assist him. The clones successfully reached the starship's bridge and took control of the vessel, and X2 used its weaponry to destroy the Invisible Hand ' s turbolaser defenses, as well as some Vulture droids that were attacking the approaching Jedi and stationary Vultures inside the hangar, allowing the Jedi to land inside the ship and rescue the Chancellor.

In the waning days of the Clone Wars, X2 and X1 were assigned to the planet of Cato Neimoidia alongside Ferroda. When the Republic fleet of Venator-class Star Destroyers had arrived at the planet, the ship carrying X2 was boarded by battle droids. X2 managed to fight off the invading forces and later used the ship's orbital strike cannon to bombard Separatist defenses on the surface of the planet. He then piloted an ARC-170 to the surface, joining the ground battle. As Ferroda and the clone troopers advanced on the Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray's palace, X2 provided covering fire with a sniper rifle from the landing platform; he then destroyed the controls of an enemy ion cannon. During this time, Ferroda sensed X2's Force potential and promised to take him to the Jedi High Council when they returned to Coruscant after the battle. Meanwhile, X2 infiltrated the Viceroy's palace as well and reached the droid control terminal there, shutting down all Confederate droids on the planet.

At that moment, a transmission came from Coruscant. Palpatine, claiming that the Jedi had betrayed the Republic, ordered the clone troopers on Cato Neimoidia to execute Order 66 and kill Ferroda. The troopers complied and attacked the Jedi Master, but he killed most of the clone platoon and wounded X1; only X2 remained to confront him. Ferroda tried to reason the clone, telling that he was not his real enemy and urging him to search his heart. X2, angered at what the Jedi had done to his brother, killed him, though this action would haunt him for the rest of his life.

A family reunion
"I've&hellip;turned my back on Palpatine's Empire. I have no army, now."

- X2

Soon after Order 66 was issued, the Republic was reformed into the Galactic Empire with Palpatine as its Emperor. X1 and X2 became stormtroopers and began their service in the Empire, eventually earning the reputation as two of the Empire's most trusted agents. However, ever since Order 66, X2 felt that he was not doing the right thing and, by around 15 BBY, he began to show signs of concern enough for X1 to notice. Months later, the brothers were assigned to hunt down a fugitive Jedi, who was hiding on the planet of Dantooine, under the supervision of the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader, formerly Anakin Skywalker. Vader believed that the clones would help him to exterminate the remains of the Jedi Order. When X2 hesitated to embark on the mission, X1 told him to follow orders. X2 complied, and the brothers, along with other troopers, took ARC-170's and headed for the planet surface. X1 issued an order to enter the atmosphere and destroy the village where the Jedi was hiding. X2, not wanting to kill innocent people, protested, saying that they were there for the Jedi only. X1 debunked this claim, stating that the villagers deserved to die for harboring a Jedi. X2 continued to argue, and X1 ordered Zeta Squadron to escort him back to the carrier ship. X2, angered by X1's commands, decided that he could not follow him anymore. He said goodbye to his brother, intending to defect. X1 immediately branded him a traitor and ordered X2's squadmates to kill him. X2 killed his attackers and landed on the planet, where he met with the hooded Jedi fugitive and warned him about the incoming attack. The Jedi revealed that the local militia had already prepared for the attack, but X2 offered his help in fighting the Imperials, and the Jedi agreed. Together with the village militia, X2 and the Jedi repelled the attack. The Jedi then revealed his face, which was an elder version of X2's, and told him that his name was Falon Grey and that as soon as he had seen X2's face, he had realized that X2 was his genetic "son," and had understood the circumstances of his creation. Grey strongly believed that he had failed the Jedi Order for not sensing Palpatine's treachery, and when X2 told him that he had done terrible things in his life, Grey offered his son to seek redemption together.

Falon Grey and X2 then set off to another village, hoping to evacuate its citizens. On their way there, they cleared a barn that had been converted into a communications center by the stormtroopers. When they had reached the village, they found it invaded by more Imperial soldiers. X2, Grey and the militia members fought off the attack. X2 then manned the village's AA turret and destroyed incoming LAAT/i gunships. In order to evacuate the militiamen, X2 and Grey escorted them to the ruins of the old Jedi Enclave. Through a series of cavern leading from it, they reached a secret hangar with an LAAT/i standing by. However, the hangar's doors had been jammed from the outside by large boulders. X2 made his way back through the caves and to the other side of the door and destroyed the debris with explosives. He then returned to the village and took the controls of an ion cannon, disabling a Star Destroyer in space before it could blockade the planet. Making his way back to the hangar, X2 collapsed the rocks behind him, sealing the way into the caves for the Empire's troops.

Once X2 opened the hangar's door, however, X1 and his stormtroopers landed in LAAT's. They killed all of the remaining members of the militia and wounded X2 with a blaster bolt, but Grey used the Force to blast off the stormtroopers and attacked X1, who was armed with a force pike The two dueled and Grey emerged victorious. Sensing that there was still some good in X1 and wishing to draw him from the path of darkness he had taken, Falon Grey spared him and even returned his force pike to him. X1, however, attacked the Jedi again and took hold of his lightsaber. He then shot Grey with his blaster and cut X2 with Grey's lightsaber, leaving his brother to die as he and the stormtroopers departed the planet. Before dying, Grey was able to reach out with the Force and heal X2's wounds. X2 survived and spent the following fifteen years working as a simple farmer on Dantooine. In around 0.5 BBY, the Alliance to Restore the Republic sent Jedi Master Rahm Kota to recruit Falon Grey to their cause, whom they still thought to be alive. Kota, who held no respect for clones was disappointed to find only a "pale imitation" of his former Padawan. Still, he sensed the Force resonating in X2 and offered him to join the Rebellion, to which X2 agreed.

Formation of Grey Squadron
"Looks like you have a new squadron, X2, whenever you like it or not."

- Rahm Kota

During this time, the Rebel Alliance was conducting a campaign against the new Imperial superweapon, the Death Star. X2's first mission on behalf of the Alliance was to go to an asteroid-based Desolation Station, where components of the Death Star's superlaser were being assembled and later transported to the Death Star itself. X2 was to infiltrate a transport carrying the last of those components, the tributary beam, and ensure that it would not reach its destination. The transport, however, was protected by a defensive shield corridor that did not allow X2 to sneak on board the ship. To this end, Kota dispatched him to Desolation Station in order to find controls for the shield and deactivate it. When X2 had reached the station, he received intelligence from Kota regarding some Wookiee slaves who were being held inside.

X2 liberated the slaves and reached the shield control center, where he deactivated the transport's defensive corridor. X2's actions put the entire facility on alert, but&mdash;with the help of the liberated Wookiees and some Rebel fighters who had been dispatched as his backup&mdash;he managed to reach a TIE fighter hangar and stole one of the starfighters. Once off the station, X2 was pursued by enemy TIEs, but he managed to hold them off until some Rebel X-Wings arrived, dispatched by Kota to cover his tail. While the X-Wings engaged the TIEs in a dogfight, X2 flew to the transport and destroyed its turbolaser defenses. He then landed inside, fought his way to the weapons control room and destroyed Desolation Station with the tributory beam, effectively halting the construction of the Death Star. Following the completion of that mission, X2 was formally initiated into the Rebel Alliance. Some time later, X2 received a communication from Kota, who told him that a Rebel strike team sent to infiltrate an Imperial base on the planet of Geonosis had been discovered and captured. Kota planned to rescue them with X2's help and set off to Geonosis headfirst. He told X2 that he would leave a speeder bike for him at the landing zone and rendezvous with him at the base. When X2 had arrived at Geonosis in his X-Wing, however, he was attacked by the bounty hunter Boba Fett, who mistook him for Kota; Fett wanted to claim the bounty put on Kota's head by the Empire. After realizing that the X-Wing's pilot was not Kota, Fett planned to capture X2 and use him as a bait for the Jedi. X2 engaged Fett's ship, Slave I in the asteroid ring around Geonosis and ultimately defeated him, forcing the bounty hunter to retreat. X2 then landed at the planet and took the speeder bike left by Kota to the base. After meeting with the Jedi inside the base, X2 liberated the imprisoned Rebels and helped them to a landing pad.

Grateful to X2 for their rescue, the Rebels pledged their allegiance to him and asked him to lead them as a military unit. X2 was initially reluctant to become a leader, but eventually agreed. On Kota's suggestion, X2 named his new unit Grey Squadron in the memory of his late father, Falon Grey. X2, now Grey Leader, led his squadron across the galaxy, and it soon became known as a unit of fierce and loyal fighters. X2 himself acquired the reputation of a reliable figure in the Rebel Alliance. Rahm Kota continued to look after him in the memory of Falon Grey.

Death Star threat
"The Death Star is a fearsome invention indeed. We must find a way to destroy it!"

- Rahm Kota

Armed with the exact location of the construction site of the Death Star, the prison planet of Despayre, the Rebel Alliance planned a daring reconnaissance mission to infiltrate the station in order to learn more about its capabilities and rescue prisoners held there. When X2 received word of it, he volunteered for the mission. Flying his X-Wing, X2, along with some other Rebels reached the Death Star, which was guarded by a Star Destroyer and a number of TIE fighters. After clearing his way through the TIEs, X2 infiltrated the Star Destroyer and, guided by Kota over the comlink, used the ship's orbital strike cannon to destroy the Death Star's defensive turrets. The battlestation's hangar shield went off, and X2 returned back to his X-Wing and left the Star Destroyer for the Death Star.

Upon landing there along with some Rebel troops, X2 headed for the prison cells. On his way there, however, he stumbled upon a conference room and saw a holographic transmission from X1, who said that he was soon going to deliver the tributary laser to the Death Star. This way, X2 discovered that his brother was still alive, though he had no time to reflect on this at the moment. Hoping to create a diversion, Kota told X2 to head for the superlaser control room and use the superweapon to destroy the Star Destroyer. X2 reached the controls and fired the still unfinished laser, obliterating the Imperial ship. Kota was amazed with the laser's firepower and told X2 that it was urgent to deliver this information to the Alliance High Command. Before that, however, X2 still needed to rescue the prisoners. He liberated them from the detention block and deactivated the station's tractor beam. X2 and the Rebels then escaped aboard two Lambda-class T-4a shuttles. X2 and Grey Squadron were later stationed at the Rebel base on the moon of Yavin IV. During this time, Kota recommended a female bounty hunter Shara into Grey Squadron, and X2 accepted her commission, trusting Kota's judgment. As soon as she arrived at the base, however, the Empire initiated an attack on the planet, landing a force of stormtroopers that attempted to capture the Yavin Temple and employing TIE bombers for bombing runs. X2 and Shara made their way to the temple, evading TIE bomber attacks. The two cleared the temple's surrounds, only to find the base's anti-aircraft turret deactivated. X2 repaired the turret's power stations, activating the turret. Afterward, the two entered the base, and Shara received transmission from the Rebel General Jan Dodonna, who revealed that the invading Imperials had placed jamming beacons throughout the base, preventing the Incom-designed X-Wings' engines from functioning properly.

X2 and Shara destroyed all of the jamming beacons and, after clearing the base of the invading enemy forces, took X-Wings to join the battle in space against the Death Star, which had arrived at Yavin IV and&mdash;with its superlaser now fully functional&mdash;was preparing for a devastating shot to destroy Yavin IV. The Rebel Alliance planned to hit the Death Star's two-meter wide thermal exhaust port with proton torpedoes, thus hoping to start a chain reaction that would have destroyed the massive station. Toward the end of the battle, Rebel pilots Luke Skywalker, Wedge Antilles and Biggs Darklighter attempted to make a run through the trench leading to the exhaust port, but were followed by Darth Vader in his TIE Advanced x1 and two wingmen. X2 steered his X-Wing into the trench just behind Vader's ship, hoping to provide backup for Skywalker. Vader, however, ordered all of the nearby turbolaser batteries to fire at X2; TIE fighters also strafed him with fire.

X2 was not able to help Skywalker, but the latter was saved by two smugglers, Han Solo and Chewbacca in their ship, the Millennium Falcon. Solo destroyed one of Vader's wingmen; the other one panicked and collided with Vader's fighter, sending him spinning into the vastness of space. Seconds later, Skywalker was able to place the necessary shot by using the Force and destroyed the Death Star. X2 and Shara were among the handful of pilots who had survived the battle. Short time later, the Empire established a blockade of Yavin in hopes of preventing the Rebels from escaping. The codes to bypass it, however, had been located in a transponder device in the Death Star. X2 and Shara were dispatched to the station's wreckage in the orbit of Yavin to find them. The retrieval mission soon turned into a battle, as Imperial TIE fighters arrived to reclaim the codes. X2 distracted the TIE fighters until Shara located the device in the wreckage. X2 retrieved it, and the two returned to base.

The continuing war
"Luke Skywalker had done the impossible; the Death Star was destroyed. But the Empire would not take such a blow lightly. The counter attack on Yavin IV hit us like lightning. The Alliance would have to evacuate, or be wiped out."

- X2

Soon, the Empire launched a full-scale invasion of Yavin IV in an effort to destroy the Alliance. As a battle ensued, X2 and Shara reached the Yavin Temple and attempted to issue an evacuation signal before the Empire arrived in full force. However, TIE bombers took out the communications tower, preventing the Rebels from sending out the signal. X2 destroyed the Imperial starfighters with the base's anti-aircraft defenses and, along with some Rebel troops, took a T4-B heavy tank to the communications tower. The tower was located on an unreachable platform, however, and X2 was forced to Force Jump there, thus beginning to explore his Force-sensitivity. After X2 repaired the tower, Shara began the evacuation procedure and left the planet in a starfighter. After destroying some more TIEs, X2 also headed for the hangar in order to evacuate. On his way there, he received a communication from Col Serra, the commander of the newly formed Renegade Squadron, who told X2 that he needed his help in space. Taking controls of an X-Wing, X2 joined the space battle, where Serra told him to assist Renegade Squadron in taking down a communications array of a Star Destroyer, in order to prevent it from calling reinforcements. Serra and X2 later infiltrated the ship itself, destroyed its reactor core and evacuated from the doomed vessel before it exploded. That day, the Alliance was ultimately able to escape from the planet.

Three years later, X2 and Grey Squadron were stationed at the Alliance's Echo Base on the planet of Hoth when an Imperial probe droid discovered it. Soon, the Imperial fleet approached the planet and ground troops were deployed onto the surface, beginning the Battle of Hoth. X2 first participated in the space battle in his X-Wing, destroying TIE interceptors and preventing the Imperial landing craft from reaching the surface. He then headed for the ground and made his way to Echo Base's hangar. There, X2 was tasked with holding off the invading Imperials until Princess Leia Organa could escape. X2 called in Grey Squadron and they defended the hangar against waves of snowtroopers. X2 was then contacted by Shara, who told him that Echo Station 5-7, where the Rebel v-150 anti-orbital ion cannon was located, needed help against Imperial walkers. Taking a snowspeeder, X2 reached the station and used its defensive network of DF.9 anti-infantry batteries to fend off AT-ST attacks. He was then told by Shara to take control of the ion cannon and used it to disable the tractor beam of a Star Destroyer in orbit, allowing some of the Rebel evacuation transports to escape safely. X2 was then contacted by a member of Grey Squadron, who requested his assistance in the space battle. Taking off from the planet in his X-Wing, X2 reached the space above Hoth and was once again contacted by Shara, who told him to infiltrate the Star Destroyer Avarice and destroy it. Before doing so, X2 distracted the Avarice by engaging in a dogfight with its TIE fighter complement. Once he had landed inside the ship, Shara informed him that thanks to his distraction, most of the transport ships had escaped from Hoth, and Luke Skywalker had sent Grey Squadron to help him. X2 told Shara and Grey Squadron to rendezvous with him in the engine control room. On his way there, however, X2 was stopped by none other than his brother X1, who was armed with Falon Grey's lightsaber and was using Force powers. Engaging in battle with X1, X2 ordered Grey Squadron to set the explosive charges and clear the ship.

During their fight, X1 offered X2 a chance to join him, but X2 did not agree and continued to fight his brother, ultimately defeating him. X2 tried to reason him, made him realize the Empire's true nature, but X1 did not listen. Instead, when an explosion of Grey Squadron's charges distracted X2, he Force-pushed him out of the way and ran away, evacuating from the ship. X2 escaped from the Avarice as well, following Grey Squadron, which had escaped earlier. Having witnessed X1's usage of the Force, X2 began to think of his own Force-sensitivity and whether he should use it to aid the Rebellion.

A year later, the Rebel Alliance discovered that the Empire was building a new Death Star in the orbit of the forest moon of Endor. When it was revealed that Palpatine himself would visit the station, a daring attack plan was formulated to destroy the Death Star and the Emperor. The plan involved destroying a deflector shield generator on the surface of Endor that projected a shield protecting the Death Star. To this end, a strike team led by Han Solo was dispatched to infiltrate the planet and destroy the shield generator bunker; Renegade Squadron also landed on the planet to assist Solo. Soon enough, the Rebel fleet made a hyperspace jump to Endor for a final assault on the Death Star II. Grey Squadron arrived there as part of the Rebel force. It was soon discovered, however, that Solo's team had not yet deactivated the shield. Moreover, the whole affair was revealed to be a trap masterminded by Palpatine; the Death Star's superlaser turned out to be operational and the Imperial fleet was brought in to battle the Rebels.

Seeing this, the Rebel Admiral Ackbar, ordered X2 and Grey Squadron to regroup at his flagship, Home One, and defend it against Imperial starfighter attacks. The fighters, however, were revealed to be only a diversion, as Imperial forces boarded Home One and assaulted its primary reactor. X2 landed inside the flagship and assisted Ackbar in securing it. Immediately afterward, X2 was contacted by Col Serra, who requested that X2 assisted Renegade Squadron on the surface. X2 used one of Home One ' s escape pods to reach the ground. Serra informed X2 that several of the native Ewoks, who had been helping the Rebels, had been taken prisoner by the Empire. X2 liberated the Ewoks and was told by Serra to meet him at the shield generator bunker. Serra approached the bunker in his X-Wing, but was shot down by a turbolaser battery and crashed into a tree. X2 rendezvoused with him at the downed starfighter, and they made their way inside the bunker, where Serra sabotaged the Imperial communications network. Leaving Solo to destroy the bunker, X2 and Serra set off to an Imperial ion cannon in order to use it against enemy Star Destroyers. Soon thereafter, Solo's strike team, assisted by Renegade Squadron, managed to destroy the shield generator bunker, lowering the Death Star's shield. This allowed General Lando Calrissian to fly the Millennium Falcon into the station's inner structure and destroy the power generator, starting a chain reaction that destroyed the Death Star; prior to that, aboard the station itself, Darth Vader had been turned to the light by Luke Skywalker and had killed the Emperor, but sacrificed his life in the process.

Although the Death Star was destroyed, the massive Imperial fleet was still battling the Rebels. In order to help their comrades, X2 and Serra reached the controls of the Imperial ion cannon, and X2 used it to lower the shields of two Star Destroyers, allowing Rebel frigates to destroy them. The battle was not over yet, as two AT-AT assaulted the Ewok village, but X2 destroyed them with a rocket launcher. Ultimately, the Battle of Endor was a victory for the Alliance.

Jedi Knight
"Vader and Palpatine were slain&hellip;and the Death Star obliterated. For a brief moment, we celebrated. But X1 was already drawing out plans for a new Galactic Empire, with himself at the throne."

- X2

After the destruction of the second Death Star, X2 began to realize his Force potential under Luke Skywalker's tutelage. Eventually, Skywalker bestowed upon him the rank of Jedi Knight and gave him a lightsaber. Although X2 still believed that he was just a soldier and not a Jedi, Skywalker convinced him that at such unconventional times, they were all forced to become someone they had never expected to be. He vowed to track down X1 and bring him to justice. X2 and Grey Squadron visited Dathomir to capture X1. X2 and Shara were ambushed by Nightsisters who were attempting to defeat the Imperial presence. After defeating the Nightsisters, X2 discovered that X1 had moved to Mustafar. When he returned to his ship, however, he found that Grey Squadron had been killed by an Imperial. The Imperial then defeated X2 and fled. After regaining consciousness, X2 then set out to Mustafar to confront X1.

After breaking into the facility, X2 discovered that X1 had reactivated some of the droids that had since been deactivated after the Clone Wars (or re-activated by Gizor Dellso during the Battle of Mustafar). After destroying the droids and freeing a captive Luke, X2 found X1 waiting for him. X1 had become distorted by the Dark Side, and was physically distorted in a similar manner to Palpatine's disfigurement. X2 managed to overpower X1, but in a final act, X1 tried to use his dropped lightsaber to impale X2. X2 jumped over the lightsaber, causing X1 to be impaled by his own blade. X1 fell into the lava rivers and down a lava "waterfall."

X2 was later promoted to the rank of Jedi Master by Skywalker.

Behind the scenes
X2 is a new character created as the protagonist of the game Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron for the PlayStation Portable and the Nintendo DS.

Console differences
The two versions of Elite Squadron are very different in their portrayal of certain events. This article tries to incorporate elements from both console versions, noting elements exclusive to one or another edition. However, there are some plot points that contradict each other. For instance, the Battle of Tatooine's depiction in the Nintendo DS version is entirely different from the PSP version which is currently described in the article. In it, X1 and X2 are assigned to oversee the construction of an outpost instead of training new troopers. The two are busy working on the outpost when the Separatist attack begins, and they are completely surprised by it. They make their way to an invaded Republic garrison and clear it from droids. The two then take BARC speeders to an outpost across the desert where they rendezvous with Ferroda. Alongside the Jedi, X1 and X2 make their way to the hangar and take ARC-170's into space. There, X2 infiltrates a Lucrehulk-class battleship instead of a Providence-class destroyer. Additionally, while the PSP version claims that Tatooine was an "early" victory for the Republic, the Nintendo DS version explicitly states that the battle takes place in 19 BBY.

This article currently describes the Battle of Coruscant as depicted in the Nintendo DS version. In the PSP edition, X1 and X2 immediately engage Separatist forces in orbit around Coruscant. First, they fight enemy droid fighters, and eventually X2 and some clone troopers board a Providence-class carrier/destroyer. Inside the ship, X2 commandeers its orbital strike cannon and uses it against Separatist ground forces that have been deployed onto Coruscant's surface. This provides the Republic a great deal of support by hampering the Confederacy's ground invasion. Once complete, X2 and his clone brothers depart the ship in escape pods and reach the planet's surface in order to support the Republic's ground troops. X2 reaches Jedi General Mace Windu's location, and Windu tasks him with repairing a defense turret in order to blast Separatist barricades surrounding the Senate building. After X2 have completed the task, he and Windu reach the building and face off against Grievous and his MagnaGuards. After a short battle, the droid General retreats.

The battle of Cato Neimodia is described in the article as presented in the PSP version. The NDS version claims that X2 was assigned to Cato Neimodia "months" after the Battle of Coruscant, while in fact, far less time elapsed between Coruscant's invasion and the ending of the Clone Wars. In this version, Cato Neimodia is protected by an energy shield powered by three satellites in orbit; X2 and X1 manage to deactivate them. In the PSP version's depiction of the Battle of Hoth, the ion cannon is erroneously located right next to the Rebel hangar instead of Echo Station 5-7, and during the battle it registers a fault. After defending the hangar, X2 is tasked with escorting an astromech droid to the ion cannon's controls in order to fix it. He then uses the cannon to take down the shields of a Star Destroyer in orbit. When Vader's stormtroopers storm the cannon's control room, X2 retreats to his X-Wing and sets off into space, where a boarding party has been assembled to infiltrate the Star Destroyer and destroy its orbital strike cannon.

X2 protects the boarding party's LAAT/i gunships and proceeds inside the Star Destroyer. After he has destroyed the ship's orbital strike cannon's controls, X2 is attacked by X1, who unlike the NDS version is armed with a blaster instead of Grey's lightsaber. When explosions start to tear the ship apart, the two brothers break off their duel and escape on an X-Wing and a TIE fighter.

In the Nintendo DS portrayal of the Battle of Endor, Grey Squadron arrives at the Ewok village during the battle, and X2 is contacted by Ackbar, who informs him that he has lost contact with Solo. X2 establishes contact with Leia Organa, who informs him that their team has run into heavy resistance at the bunker, but they would be able to handle the situation themselves. While X2 and Grey Squadron defend the village, the strike team defends the Imperials and starts planting explosives in the bunker. Having been informed of that, X2 and Grey Squadron take speeder bikes to the Rebel landing platform and rendezvous with Shara there, who informs X2 that the platform has been overrun with Imperials. After fighting their way through them, Grey Squadron takes X-Wings and joins the space battle.

There, they are contacted by Calrissian, who requests X2's men to provide cover for him. While X2 battles with TIE fighters, Solo takes down the Death Star's shield. Seeing an opportunity to download the encrypted data from the Death Star mainframe, Ackbar dispatches Grey Squadron inside the station. X2 leads his R2 unit to the mainframe, downloads the data and escapes from the station before it explodes.
