User:Commander Calamitous

Commander Calamitous is my created character for Star Wars. Calamitous was a skilled Clone Commander who served during the Clone Wars. He was known for his leadership in the Clone Army and regarded highly off for his military tactics. Not to mention he was an excellent combatant,who once held off an entire MTT using only his blaster to save his injured men. Near the closing of the epic Clone Wars, he was stationed along with his Battalion on Felucia. During an early skirmish on the planet, he was separated from his troops and recieved a direct sniper hit, from an enemy assasin droid, right to the side of his helmet. He fell immediatly, and was thought to be dead by the sniper as he disapeared into the fungal brush. Inside the brush he landed upon a previously unknown species of plant now formally known as "Mosliik." This plant is very rare on Felucia and is parasite/virus. When Calamitous landed upon the plant he was unconcious, but disturbed the plant. It released an oozing substance that is used to overtake its victims, and entered into Calamitous' head and body through the hole in his helmet. The parasite took control of his central nervous system and kept him unconcious until it could asexually divide its self enough to have the greater majority of cells in his body. Eventually it had complete control of Calamitous and arose him as a meer host. The virus was later found to be extremely contagious in a lab on Coruscant under the correct extreme circumstances. The Mosliik can only infect humaniod species via an open wound or bodily liquid contact, and thrive in humid environments. The only known planet that is known to house Mosliik is Felucia. Effects on humaniod creatures from the Mosliik are catastrophic, and very powerful. There is no known cure for virus, so once it invades the host's central nervous system it has complete control over the host; who is either dead or in an unconcious state. The virus uses the host body to aquire energy, and provides the host with a very strong, powerful, flexible, and energetic state. Mosliik does seem to be an intelligent virus due to the fact that it keeps its host alive, and mimics knowledge of the host, constantly driving to learn new abilities and material for its survival. It has no morals or any other drive than to learn and obliterate anything in its path. After a few weeks of Commander Calamitous missing, he was thought to be dead, but as the Clone Wars came to a close on Felucia a more deadly Calamitous emerged, as an enemy. Severly mutated, his body had grown out of his Phase II battle suit due to spawning of new limbs, and rapid growth in general. When his old troops first encountered him, he was estimated at a staggening height of 10 feet. Mistaking him for a friend and commander, the troops gladly accepted him back into their ranks, and tried to get him medical attention. As they rushed to approach him, he killed them by crushing and throwing them, then thrashing about in the spastic unnatural manner the Mosliik had given him. Immediatly bystanding troops recognized the hostile threat and began firing at him. Immune to the blaster shots, Calamitous quickly cut them down and took their weapons for another rampage. Not far from the first encounter was a primary Republic Drop Base, which stored troops, vehicles, supplies, etc. He made his way into the camp and destroyed the 150 strong of which it held. A command battle droid who made its way into the camp sometime later with other troops described the scene left behind as "a chilling encounter, as all the republic forces stationed in the camp had been slaughtered. Body parts, vehicles, and supplies had been strewn about as if a seismic medeator had gone off. Something dangerously powerful had made its way into the camp. It certainly wasn't one of our own, but whatever it was, we didn't want to encounter it." Halfway around the planet a few days later there had been a reported breach in security at a separatist hold out. Battle droids had been found int pieces, and equipment violently slashed. Of course it was found by Aayla Secura and her troops, so everyone thought it was the work of them. Curiously enough, all twenty-four separatist fighters, or their remains, had been found accounted for in a hidden hangar at the base. All except for one in slot seventeen, which had been found empty. Not even the hangar doors were closed.
