Biography
In preparation for hunting down the new Separatist superweapon, Broadside and the rest of Shadow Squadron accompanied General Skywalker in the Twilight to the Bormus Testing Facility in order to acquire newly manufactured BTL-B Y-wing starfighters. Encountering resistance, Skywalker signaled to Broadside, instructing that he and Matchstick to go to hangar 8-122 and carry out his pre-arranged orders. While Skywalker and his Padawan, Ahsoka Tano, maneuvered the Gran representative of the testing facility into authorizing the release of the bombers, Broadside informed the Clone troopers guarding hangar 8-122 that having a Jedi with them qualified as having the clearance required to enter the hangar. Broadside and the rest of Shadow Squadron departed the facility in the Y-wings behind the Twilight. Skywalker ordered Broadside to "form up", as he was "drifting" out of formation. Broadside replied that it was due to the fact that the 'bird needed a bit more work', at which Skywalker responded by saying that when he was done tuning them, the Separatist would not know what hit them.

Broadside later was present during a briefing by Anakin Skywalker and Admiral Wullf Yularen. On the question of Plo Koon if Shadow Squadron could destroy the Malevolence, he answered with yes. Later he flew with the squadron through the Kaliida Nebula. In the ensuing battle, Broadside and the squadron original plan to destroy the commando bridge wasn't manageable they, on advise of Ahsoka Tano, destroyed the ion cannon's of the Malevolence and saved the Kaliida Shoals Medical Center, but many of the clone pilots like Matchstick died.

Personality and traits
Broadside was a confident clone, answering on the question of destroying the Malevolence with yes. He also was used to bet with Matchstick about the outcome of their missions.
