"I preferred to be an NCO. If it's good enough for Kal'buir, it's good enough for me."

―Null-12 to Fi^[src]

A'den Skirata, originally known as Null-12, also known as N-12, was one of the six surviving Null-class Advanced Recon Commandos. Like the other Null ARCs, he was named and trained by Kal Skirata. A'den was also the only one of the Null ARC's who was a sergeant and not an officer. He chose this out of reverence to his training sergeant, Kal Skirata, who formally adopted him in Mandalorian tradition.

In 21 BBY, he was sent to Gaftikar along with Omega Squad, to help train the local Gaftikari resistance.

After Order 66, he came back to Kyrimorut with Nyreen Vollen and Yayax Squad to meet with the rest of Clan Skirata. He also was the most persistent of his brothers in trying to get Kal Skirata and Nyreen Vollen to get married.

A'den means "wrath" or "rage" in Mando'a.

PersonalityEdit

A'den was different from the other Nulls: he smiled, something little found amongst his brothers, about whom he cared not. A'den was very cynical of Palpatine and the Republic, and was annoyed at the latter's reluctance to attack the CIS at the heart. Like the rest of his Null brothers, he harbored a deep hatred of Kaminoans, especially Ko Sai. When he was a boy he used to narrowly miss hitting them with blaster bolts from his position hanging from a high ceiling, causing much mirth for his brothers.

Shortly before the formation of the Galactic Empire, A'den met and befriended Nyreen Vollen, who believed clones should have the same rights and lifespans as ordinary beings. Nyreen, or "Ny", would later aid the Skirata clan by bringing deserter clones to Mandalore to begin their new lives. It was also said that unlike the rest of his brothers, A'den had no problem gossiping, and was considered the talker of them.
