Axe (clone trooper)/Legends

Axe was the nickname of a Clone trooper pilot who served in Blue Squadron, flying as Blue Two, during the Battle of Ryloth. Axe appeared to be the closest member of his squadron to his commander, Ahsoka Tano. He was killed when his V-19 Torrent starfighter lost structural integrity and blew apart, just before docking with the Resolute.

Biography
After Techno Union Foreman Wat Tambor seized control of the planet Ryloth and its inhabitants, the Jedi Council dispatched General Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan, Commander Ahsoka Tano, to destroy the Separatist blockade surrounding the planet, under the command of Captain Mar Tuuk.

Ahsoka led a squadron, for the first time, taking command of Blue Squadron under the callsign Blue Leader. Axe joined fellow pilots Slammer, Kickback, Tucker and Swoop in his V-19 Torrent starfighter in fighting the advancing Vulture droids, and his squadron was able to cut a clear path to the lead ship. However, after Separatists reinforcements arrived out of hyperspace, Ahsoka disobeyed a direct order from both Admiral Yularen and Anakin to return and defend the Resolute. Tucker was shot down by a Vulture droid. Ahsoka finally complied, and when Axe questioned her why they were retreating, she replied that they weren't retreating, only "following orders". However, before Axe could get to the Resolute, his fighter's power converters overloaded, and his ship exploded, much to the dismay of Ahsoka.
