Biography


Mag and his squad were stationed in Glid Station on the frozen world of Orto Plutonia. While there, he and his squad were tasked with testing an experimental cold weather speeder bike known as the Freeco bike, which had a reputation for freezing up in extreme cold temperatures.

While there, his squad continued to encounter a large, mysterious, and deadly species they called "ice men". All the patrols that saw the ice men had been killed, leaving the true nature of the species unknown. One night, while he and one of his men, Shiv, were inspecting a outer sensor, their Freeco bikes froze up, leaving them stranded until dawn. The two clones build a small camp and prepared to wait out the night. The two of them were attacked by the ice men, who first killed Mag and then Shiv. Later, Gild Station and the nearby Separatist droid station were attacked by the ice men, killing the clone troopers and battle droids at both bases.

When the Republic lost contact with Glid Station, the Senate sent a investigation party lead by Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi and his former apprentice, General Anakin Skywalker. Along with Chairman Chi Cho and Senator Riyo Chuchi of Pantora, the Jedi discovered that the ice men were actually a small colony of Talz on the planet. After a brief but deadly war, Chuchi received the right to negotiate peace from the Pantoran Assembly, and the Republic and the Pantorans left the Talz to live in peace.
