Talk:Null ARC Ordo

Null-11, informally known as Ordo (named by Kal Skirata after Canderous Ordo, a Mandalore in the Old Sith Wars period), served as an Advanced Recon Commando in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. Ordo was one of six surviving Null-class Advanced Recon Commandos who served as "black ops" commandos under their training sergeant, Kal Skirata. He had the distinctive habit of clenching one fist to his side when under stress. Training and childhood As a child, Ordo and the rest of the Nulls were deemed too unstable and insubordinate to to be used in combat. As a result, the Kaminoans decided to terminate them. Skirata disagreed with this and began arguing to spare the clones. His brother, Mereel, seized the opportunity and grabbed Skirata's blaster, tossing it to Ordo. He trained it on Orun Wa, but Skirata talked him down and took it upon himself to train Ordo and the rest of the Nulls. Ordo became the unofficial, and sometimes official, leader of the Nulls. Ordo was said to have accompanied Skirata wherever he went, as the Nulls were prevented from operating in the field due to their extreme independence and perceived unpredictability. Ordo's armor coloration, red, denoted his rank as an ARC captain. Military career When Kal Skirata was sent to Coruscant to assist the clone commandos of Omega Squad in diffusing a hostage crisis, Ordo went with him. The situation took a turn for the worse, however, with the death of a Jedi Master at the hands of the terrorists. When they went in, the shooting was over in twenty seconds. Following a string of Separatist terrorist attacks on Coruscant that killed many clone troopers, Skirata arranged with General Arligan Zey to perform a black op to destroy the cells. In this operation, Kal chose to work with fellow Mando training sargeant, Walon Vau; clone commandos Delta Squad and Omega Squad; Jedi Knights Bardan Jusik and Etain Tur-Mukan; and Ordo. Ordo would later bring in fellow Null, Mereel. Ordo was technically in command of the op, but he deferred to Skirata almost the entire time. He was responsible for much of the recon that was done in preparation for the mission; he also obtained a large consignment of plastic explosives. These were used to draw out the terrorists by putting them on the black market. As a fail-safe, Ordo had Mereel add chemicals to the 500 grades causing them to detonate if any metal was inserted into them unless stabilizer compound was added to neutralize the traps before sticking any metallic substances in. As part of his recon work, Ordo switched places with a clone trooper named Corr in order to infiltrate a government office where he suspected there was a CIS mole. While there, he developed an attraction to treasury agent, Besany Wennen. She would ultimately provide Ordo with much needed intel. The terrorists took the bait and the sale of the explosives was arranged. Plans were made to eliminate the terrorists and Ordo led the team, which now included Corr. The operation was a success. Following the operation, Ordo began a relationship with Besany. His ultimate fate is unknown.
