Suu Lawquane/Legends

"We want no trouble here."

- Suu, to the clone troopers.

Suu was a pink-skinned female Twi'lek who lived on the planet Saleucami during the Clone Wars. She was married to Cut Lawquane, a former Republic clone trooper and together they had two children named Jekk and Shaeeah. During a battle on Saleucami, four Republic troopers patrolled the wetlands, but their officer, clone trooper captain CC-7567, nicknamed "Rex", was shot by a Confederate commando droid. The remaining clones saw that they were on farmland and they followed a road which led to Suu and Cut's farmhouse. While the wounded clone captain was left behind to heal, the farm became under attack by several BX-series droid commandos who came from a downed escape pod laying in Suu's garden. All of the droids were destroyed by Lawquane and Rex, but the homestead was partially damaged during the fight. The next day, Rex left the barn and he promised Suu not to tell the Republic about the whereabouts of her deserted husband.

Life on Saleucami
Around 22 BBY, Suu lived on Saleucami, a dim and arid Techno Union world. After the Battle of Geonosis, a Republic troop transport was shot down by two Separatist gunships. The clone trooper Cut Lawquane survived the crash. Lawquane became a farmer and started a small farm of his own on the wetlands of Saleucami. Suu and Lawquane eventually married and Lawquane became the adoptive father of Suu's two children, the four-year-old boy Jekk and the five-year-old girl Shaeeah. During a space battle over Saleucami, General Grievous, the Supreme Commander of the Separatist Army was attacked by several Republic starships and forced to flee his Recusant-class light destroyer in an escape pod. A squad of clone troopers led by Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi, Clone Commander Cody and Clone Captain Rex were sent to the surface of Saleucami to capture the fugitive Grievous. Rex was tasked with patrolling the wetlands on BARC speeders, along with troopers Jesse, Hardcase and Kix.

Attack on the homestead


During the patrol, two BX-series droid commandos armed with a sniper rifle targeted the group and shot Rex in his chest. The remaining clones destroyed both commandos and quickly aided the injured Rex. Jesse concluded that they were on farmland, after he spotted domesticated eopies in the area. The soldiers brought their wounded comrade to the farm nearby which was owned by Suu and Lawquane. Suu opened the front door and pointed a blaster rifle at them, thinking that they were trespassers. She asked the troopers what they wanted. Jesse explained her that they were not looking for trouble, but they needed a place to tend their injured captain. Suu agreed to help and she let them stay in the farm. Suu brought some food to the troopers and told them that her husband was away at the moment, because he was delivering the first harvest of the season. Suu gave the food and left the troops alone. Rex knew he and his men still had a mission to complete, which meant to continue the search for Grievous. He placed Jesse in command and ordered the clones to conduct the search without him.

After his men had left, Rex fell asleep, but was soon awaken by an eopie who had entered the barn. The farmer, Lawquane snuck into the room where Rex was sleeping and he armed himself with a spear. Rex quickly picked up his DC-17 blaster pistol, but the farmer disarmed him with the spear. A shock went through both men as they saw that they were both clones. Suu and her children entered the room and invited Rex to join dinner with them. While having a meal of roast nuna, the two clones discussed their heritage and individuality. Lawquane disagreed with Rex on many points. The men continued the debate over a game of dejarik, while Suu and her kids listened. Suu's children, having finished their chores asked their father if they could play outside. He allowed it and Jekk and Shaeeah went outside to go play hide-and-seek. The kids played out in the fields and suddenly Jekk spotted a crashed escape pod. They peeked through the window of the pod, when Shaeeah accidentally flipped a switch causing the pod to power up and activate its deadly cargo of 20 Separatist commando droids. Terrified, the children ran back to the homestead and told Suu and Lawquane what they saw. Their father picked up a pair of macrobinoculars and checked the area around the house.

Lawquane spotted the commandos in the fields and quickly shutted off all lights, while he told Suu to take the kids upstairs. The clone barricaded the doors and armed himself with a blaster. The droids tried to infiltrate the farm through the back entrance and the windows. Several of them were destroyed by Lawquane, but the commandos now entered via the cellar. He became trapped under a pair of collapsed crossbeams, which fell over due to blaster fire. Lawquane shouted to Rex to stand ready. Rex shot down a number of droids, before he dropped through a hole in the floor near Suu and the children. Lawquane dug himself out, taking out commando droids with his bare hands. Eventually, all of the commandos were destroyed by both men, but the farm needed to be repaired after the damage it had sustained. The next morning, Rex packed his gear on an eopie and prepared to leave the barn. Suu asked him if he planned to tell the Republic about the whereabouts of her husband, since Lawquane was a deserter. Rex told her that his injuries might prevent him from stating an accurate report of his mission. Lawquane thanked him for his discretion and for his help on defending the homestead.
