Estimated time of ejection one minute twenty-four seconds.|Control, to A-98, during an atmospheric insertion|The Cestus Deception}} [[Cloning/Legends|Cloned]] on the [[Planet/Legends|planet]] of [[Kamino/Legends|Kamino]], Nate was one [[Sexes/Legends|boy]] among a sea of identical looking beings. Being a genetically-modified [[Soldier/Legends|soldier]], he was bred and trained for one thing—to serve in the [[Grand Army of the Republic/Legends|Grand Army of the Republic]]. Eventually, Nate completed his training on Kamino and was sent on his first mission to [[Geonosis/Legends|Geonosis]], along with many of his [[Clone trooper/Legends|clone]] brothers, to [[First Battle of Geonosis|aid in the relief]] of [[Mace Windu/Legends|Mace Windu]] and the [[Jedi/Legends|Jedi]] with him. During that battle he and the five soldiers of his [[Squad/Legends|squad]] were almost [[Death/Legends|killed]] when an attacking [[Confederacy of Independent Systems/Legends|Separatist]] [[IG-227 Hailfire-class droid tank/Legends|''Hailfire'' droid]] unexpectedly entered a reflux pattern which would have caused it to violently explode, killing all those around it. Nate, however, had previously studied power-cell recharge cycles and recognized when the ''Hailfire'' [[Droid/Legends|droid]] was experiencing the reflux pattern. He quickly advised his squad of the imminent danger and the five of them dove for cover while Nate destroyed the droid before it was close enough to become a hazard to his soldiers or himself. Following the Battle of Geonosis, he was promoted to the rank of [[Clone trooper captain|captain]] for his actions in destroying the ''Hailfire'' droid and for saving his five comrades.<ref name="The Cestus Deception" /> Later in the war, Nate fought in the little-known [[Battle of Altair 9|Battle]] of [[Altair 9]], where he was severely wounded by one of the planet's native [[broca]], which almost completely tore his hip off. The severity of this wound caused him to be evacuated to a Republic hospital station where he received treatment for his injuries. Following his recovery, he was eventually sent to [[Vandor-3]], which served as a training ground for [[Trooper/Legends|troopers]]. Along with the other fifty thousand clone troopers posted to Vandor-3, Nate was rotated through a brutal training exercise which was under the direct command of [[Admiral/Legends|Admiral]] [[Arikakon Baraka]].<ref name="The Cestus Deception" /> ===Vandor-3=== {{Quote|We're the GAR…You had no flaming idea who you were messing with, did you, you flak-catching, sewage-sucking…|Nate, thinking to himself while fighting a selenome|The Cestus Deception}} The training mission on Vandor-3 was among the toughest that the Grand Army of the Republic had to offer its soldiers. Nate's rotation through the exercise began just like all the others—with an orbital insertion of the troopers into one of Vandor-3's [[Ocean/Legends|oceans]]. Nate's capsule was one of thousands which were launched that day, but due to faulty hardware his personal capsule experienced a hull breach and he was forced to eject in order to prevent himself from drowning. Following the destruction of his capsule, Nate utilized his [[Rebreather/Legends|rebreather]] and joined the other troopers who were forming up underneath the surface of the ocean. Once the troopers were in formation, they began to advance towards their objective, but soon came under attack from an enormous [[selenome]], a large [[Water/Legends|aquatic]] creatures with hundreds, if not thousands, of tentacles covered in [[Tooth/Legends|toothed]] suckers which made them extremely dangerous. During the exercise, a number of troopers became victims of the selenome, and Nate found himself attacked by one of its tentacles. In response to the constricting effect the tentacle was having on him, Nate inhaled sharply to keep it from crushing his ribs. Holding his breath to keep his ribs intact, Nate used his [[Blaster rifle/Legends|blaster rifle]] to destroy the tentacle which was holding him captive.<ref name="The Cestus Deception" /> Following his, and the others', experience with the selenome, Nate and the remaining troopers under his command reached the beach, where they managed to regroup back into their fighting formation. Once Nate and his troopers were assembled, he led them in a frontal assault against an "enemy" position, which was being defended by captured enemy [[B1 battle droid/Legends|battle droids]] that had been reprogrammed. Even though his unit had sustained a combined reduction in strength of fifty percent, due to both genuine and simulated casualties, Nate did not allow his troopers to lose any of their speed or efficiency. Nate led his troopers with the skill expected of an [[Advanced Recon Commando/Legends|ARC commando]] and his troopers were able to successfully complete their objective of taking and holding the right flank of the combined mission's objective.<ref name="The Cestus Deception" /> Following his return to base, Nate was ordered to the office of his [[Commanding officer/Legends|commanding officer]], [[Major/Legends|Major]] [[Apted Squelsh]], for an administrative review. She advised him that, due to his leadership and efficiency during the Vandor-3 mission, Nate was being awarded a position in a [[Mission to Ord Cestus|covert operation]] on [[Ord Cestus/Legends|Ord Cestus]] led by [[Obi-Wan Kenobi/Legends|Obi-Wan Kenobi]]. Nate saw this is a prime opportunity to demonstrate what he was really capable of, and also saw this as the first step in his career advancement as a soldier.<ref name="The Cestus Deception" /> ===Mission to Ord Cestus=== {{Main|Mission to Ord Cestus}} {{Quote|We are under contract as well, a contract made with our blood. We were born to serve, and in that service find life's greatest gift: a meaningful existence.|Nate, speaking with Sheeka Tull|The Cestus Deception}} Nate led [[Ord Cestus Squad|a commando group]] on Ord Cestus, during a mission which was under the command of [[Jedi General/Legends|Jedi Generals]] Obi-Wan Kenobi and [[Kit Fisto/Legends|Kit Fisto]]. Their mission was to disable a [[droid factory]] that was producing [[JK-13 security droid]]s, better known as "Jedi Killers"—these droids had previously proven themselves an adequate match for the Jedi, and the Republic and [[Jedi Council/Legends|Jedi Council]] wanted this new threat dealt with.<ref name="The Cestus Deception" /> [[File:Alpha98.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Alpha-98, left, and another clone run into battle.]] The [[Commando/Legends|commandos]], under the leadership of Nate, trained new recruits for the [[Desert Wind]] rebel group, and helped them conduct guerrilla attacks against the [[Five Families of Cestus Cybernetics|Five Families]]' installations.<ref name="The Cestus Deception" /> During this time, Nate developed a relationship with [[Sheeka Tull]], a former girlfriend of [[Jango Fett/Legends|Jango Fett]], but she was frustrated by his lack of humanity and worked to show him a life beyond duty to the Republic.<ref name="The New Essential Chronology" /> As a result of Sheeka's influence and friendship, he took the name Jangotat, which literally meant "Jango's brother" in the [[Concord Dawn/Legends|Concord Dawn]] [[Concordian/Legends|dialect]]. Due to Sheeka's friendship, and eventual love for him, Nate gained a new sense of perspective and morality in his otherwise preordained life as a soldier.<ref name="The Cestus Deception" /> Kenobi and Fisto eventually went on a [[Saboteur/Legends|sabotage]] mission to the droid factory in an attempt to defuse the conflict on Ord Cestus and consequently avert a crippling orbital strike by Republic [[Realspace/Legends|space]] forces. The Republic advised Kenobi that if no word concerning the coordinates for a surgical strike had reached their [[Republic Navy/Legends|fleet]] before a designated time, then the fleet was authorized to lay down a devastating blanket bombardment to ensure that the JK-13 factory was thoroughly destroyed. During the attack, Jangotat's squad was commanded to stay put until they were given further orders by the Jedi.<ref name="The Cestus Deception" /> While Kenobi and Fisto were away, Jangotat discovered where the Five Families were hiding, and saw an opportunity to end the hostilities without the needless destruction of so many innocent civilians. It was a moment of internal conflict, which forced him to either obey the words of his orders, or do justice by the spirit of those words. Even though he realized that his career as a soldier might have been over due to his decision, Jangotat obeyed the spirit of his orders, and not the letter. Managing to escape his squad mates, who believed that he should do exactly what he had been ordered to and stay put, Jangotat left to eliminate the Five Families by himself.<ref name="The Cestus Deception" /> He managed to infiltrate their facility, but couldn't break through a [[Blast door/Legends|blast door]] and did not have the hardware with him to simply blow it open. However, an encounter with one of the deadly JK-13s allowed him to discover the model's weakness—they were not capable of attacking with lethal intent. Jangotat [[Holorecorder/Legends|recorded]] this information along with a farewell message before calling down an orbital strike on his own [[Kibo Plateau|position]], therefore preventing the massive blanket bombardment that the Republic had planned. His sacrifice saved millions of innocent civilians and embodied the spirit of what it meant to be an ARC trooper. After his death, it was revealed that Sheeka was pregnant with his child.<ref name="The Cestus Deception" /> Loading editor Standard preloads (select a template to preload its contents): Custom preload pagename: Insert: – — … ° ≈ ≠ ± − × ÷ ← → · § Sign your username: ~~~~ Wiki markup: {{}} | [] [[]] [[Category:]] #REDIRECT [[]] <s></s> <sup></sup> <sub></sub> <code></code> <blockquote></blockquote> <ref></ref> <references/> <includeonly></includeonly> <noinclude></noinclude> <nowiki></nowiki> Symbols: ~ | ¡ ¿ † ‡ ↔ ↑ ↓ • ¶ # ¹ ² ³ ½ ⅓ ⅔ ¼ ¾ ⅛ ⅜ ⅝ ⅞ Characters: Á á Ć ć É é Í í Ĺ ĺ Ń ń Ó ó Ŕ ŕ Ś ś Ú ú Ý ý Ź ź À à È è Ì ì Ò ò Ù ù  â Ĉ ĉ Ê ê Ĝ ĝ Ĥ ĥ Î î Ĵ ĵ Ô ô Ŝ ŝ Û û Ŵ ŵ Ŷ ŷ Ä ä Ë ë Ï ï Ö ö Ü ü Ÿ ÿ ß Ã ã Ẽ ẽ Ĩ ĩ Ñ ñ Õ õ Ũ ũ Ỹ ỹ Ç ç Ģ ģ Ķ ķ Ļ ļ Ņ ņ Ŗ ŗ Ş ş Ţ ţ Đ đ Ů ů Ǎ ǎ Č č Ď ď Ě ě Ǐ ǐ Ľ ľ Ň ň Ǒ ǒ Ř ř Š š Ť ť Ǔ ǔ Ž ž Ā ā Ē ē Ī ī Ō ō Ū ū Ȳ ȳ Ǣ ǣ ǖ ǘ ǚ ǜ Ă ă Ĕ ĕ Ğ ğ Ĭ ĭ Ŏ ŏ Ŭ ŭ Ċ ċ Ė ė Ġ ġ İ ı Ż ż Ą ą Ę ę Į į Ǫ ǫ Ų ų Ḍ ḍ Ḥ ḥ Ḷ ḷ Ḹ ḹ Ṃ ṃ Ṇ ṇ Ṛ ṛ Ṝ ṝ Ṣ ṣ Ṭ ṭ Ł ł Ő ő Ű ű Ŀ ŀ Ħ ħ Ð ð Þ þ Œ œ Æ æ Ø ø Å å Ə ə Greek: Ά ά Έ έ Ή ή Ί ί Ό ό Ύ ύ Ώ ώ Α α Β β Γ γ Δ δ Ε ε Ζ ζ Η η Θ θ Ι ι Κ κ Λ λ Μ μ Ν ν Ξ ξ Ο ο Π π Ρ ρ Σ σ ς Τ τ Υ υ Φ φ Χ χ Ψ ψ Ω ω Please note: No personal information from you is required to edit on Wookieepedia.
