| + | "'''Warthog'''" was the nickname of a veteran [[clone trooper pilot]] who served in the [[Republic Navy]]'s [[Hunter Squadron]] during the [[Clone Wars]], often as the [[Wingmate|wingman]] to [[Jedi General]] [[Plo Koon]]. [[Cloning|Born]] on [[Kamino]], Warthog became a skilled [[starfighter]] [[pilot]] and joined his [[clone trooper]] brethren in a number of engagements against the [[Confederacy of Independent Systems]]. He became good friends with fellow pilot [[Tracer]], who served as the tail [[gunner]] for his [[BTL-B Y-wing starfighter]] during their service in Hunter [[Squadron]]. Warthog piloted his Y-wing during the [[Battle of Gwori]] of [[22 BBY]], serving under [[Jedi Master]]s Koon and [[Saesee Tiin]] to cripple the [[planet]] [[Gwori]]'s [[Gwori shipyards|Separatist shipyards]]. Although the mission was a success, Warthog [[Death|lost]] Tracer to enemy [[Laser|fire]] from a [[Variable Geometry Self-Propelled Battle Droid, Mark I|Vulture droid starfighter]] while withdrawing from Gwori. At the [[First Battle of Felucia]] in [[21 BBY]], Warthog flew a [[V-19 Torrent starfighter]], working with Koon to provide starfighter cover for a [[convoy]] of [[Low Altitude Assault Transport/infantry|LAAT/i gunships]]. Warthog and Koon safely escorted the [[gunship]]s to the surface of [[Felucia]], where they rescued a [[Galactic Republic|Republic]] [[battle group]] that had been overrun by the [[Separatist Droid Army]]. |
||
| − | "'''Warthog'''" was the nickname of a [[clone trooper pilot]] from [[Hunter Squadron]]. He participated in the [[Battle of Gwori]], the [[First Battle of Felucia]], and the [[Battle of Kadavo]], where he served as [[Plo Koon]]'s wingman. |
||
| + | |||
| + | Besides serving in Hunter Squadron, Warthog was often attached to [[Clone trooper commander|Clone Commander]] [[CC-3636]]'s [[104th Battalion]], providing aerial support or piloting one of the [[Battalion|unit's]] [[Plo's Bros|gunships]]. The latter was the case during a [[Mission to Aleen|supply mission]] to [[Aleen]], where Warthog ferried 104th [[troop]]s and relief supplies. Flying a nimble [[clone Z-95 starfighter]], Warthog joined Koon in leading a [[Battle of Kadavo|starfighter assault]] on a [[Kadavo slave processing facility|slave processing facility]] on [[Kadavo]], where the Separatist-allied [[Zygerrian Slave Empire]] had [[Slavery|enslaved]] a number of [[Togruta]] colonists. Warthog and his [[Wolfpack]] pilots [[Starfighter combat|eliminated]] the [[Zygerrian]]s' [[HH-87 Starhopper]]s and [[turbolaser]] defenses so that [[Admiral]] [[Coburn]] could retrieve the Togrutas with the [[Arquitens-class light cruiser|light cruiser]] ''[[Hand of Justice]]''. |

| − | The Repubic led an attack against the Shipyards of [[Gwori]] commanded by the [[Muun]] overseer, [[Juhm]]. Under the command of [[Plo Koon]] and [[Saesee Tiin]], Warthog along with his gunner [[Tracer]] and the rest of [[Hunter Squadron]] made a risky precision hyperspace jump to get behind the blockade enabling the fighters to make a bombing run on the shipyards. The initial wave of Proton bombs was successful in destroying some frigates, but Master Plo Koon realized that there were many more vessels and that they would not have enough bombs to destroy them all. He reordered the squadron to change their targets to bring the shipyard down on itself, which was successful. |

||
| + | |||
| + | As part of the Republic's plan, a small team of [[Jedi]] and clones was sent to [[Battle of Gwori|infiltrate]] Gwori to pinpoint the exact location of the [[shipyard]]s, so that Hunter Squadron could move in and destroy the facility. Once [[General]]s Koon and [[Saesee Tiin]] received the coordinates, they called a briefing aboard their [[Unidentified Venator-class Star Destroyer (Hunter Squadron)|''Venator''-class Star Destroyer]] to outline the attack strategy to Hunter Squadron. In response to comments from Warthog about their newest "no returner" mission, Tracer bet him ten rotations' worth of drinks that they would survive their assignment. After Koon and Tiin stated that they would be using high-power [[proton bomb]]s against the enemy facility, the squadron's [[Unidentified clone trooper captain (Hunter Squadron)|captain]] voiced his concern about reaching the shipyards themselves, as a massive Confederate fleet was [[Blockade|blockading]] Gwori. Tiin explained that they would be utilizing a precision [[hyperspace]] jump, a risky maneuver that would allow them to emerge between the blockade and the planet. With all preparations in place, Warthog and Tracer set out aboard their BTL-B Y-wing starfighter with Hunter Squadron, following Koon and Tiin in their [[Delta-7B Aethersprite-class light interceptor|Delta-7B interceptors]] to the jump point. The [[Jedi Master]]s and clone pilots managed to safely reach Gwori, bypassing the Separatist blockade and heading for the world's equatorial canyon system, where the shipyards were located. Upon arrival at the shipyards, which were built into the canyon wall, Warthog and his comrades released their proton bombs onto the facility.<ref name="Shipyards of Doom" /> |
||
| + | |||
| + | Although Hunter Squadron's [[bomber]]s landed direct hits to the facility, they failed to do damage beyond the top deck of [[Munificent-class star frigate|''Munificent''-class star frigates]]. As the clones did not have enough [[ammunition]] to whittle away at the [[frigate]] decks in that manner, Koon had Warthog and the others set their targeting grids for the construction supports, which would compromise the facility's hold on the canyon wall. Circling back around in single-file [[Bantha formation]], Warthog and his comrades encountered an incoming squadron of [[Variable Geometry Self-Propelled Battle Droid, Mark I|Vulture droid starfighters]], which [[Overseer (CIS)|Overseer]] [[Juhm]] had dispatched to protect his facility. Though Tracer managed to hit several [[droid starfighter]]s with their bomber's [[laser cannon]]s, [[droid]] [[laser]] fire penetrated the [[Starship|ship's]] gunner bubble-turret, and Tracer was hit in the chest. Despite being concerned for his comrade, Warthog released his proton bombs alongside the rest of his unit, hitting the facility's supports and causing it to crash to the bottom of the canyon. With their objective completed, Koon and Tiin ordered Hunter Squadron to meet them at the rendezvous point, and the clones departed to jump to hyperspace. However, Tracer did not survive long enough to receive treatment, succumbing to his injury and [[Death|dying]] before Warthog left Gwori's [[atmosphere]].<ref name="Shipyards of Doom" /> |

He ordering his wingman, Warthog, to protect the gunships, while General Koon initiated an attack run on the approaching Vulture droid starfighters, clearing the way for the rest of the Republic ships. Though the fighters made it past the blockade, they were pursued by a pair of droid starfighters into the atmosphere of [[Felucia]]. Warthog came under attack by the two pursuing [[Variable Geometry Self-Propelled Battle Droid, Mark I|Vulture droids]], and General Koon turned around to assist the [[Cloning|clone]] [[pilot]] saving his life by shooting down the [[Variable Geometry Self-Propelled Battle Droid, Mark I|Vulture droid]] that was on his tail. |

Warthog protected the gunships while Koon [[Starfighter combat|blasted through]] several Vulture droid starfighters, clearing the way for the rescue vessels.<ref name="Holocron Heist" /> |
||
| + | Despite bypassing the first wave of droid starfighters, the Republic convoy was pursued into the planetary atmosphere by more Vulture droids. A pair of them locked onto Warthog's V-19 Torrent, resisting his attempts to evade them. Unable to shake his pursuers, Warthog reported his predicament to Koon, who doubled back in his Delta-7B interceptor,<ref name="Holocron Heist" /> the ''[[Blade of Dorin]]'',<ref name="Dataclip: Shadow of Malevolence">{{CN|url=tv_shows/starwars/?episodeID=8a2505961cd20f84011ce7a789390007|text=Dataclip: Shadow of ''Malevolence''|na=video file}}</ref> to assist his wingman. Koon destroyed one of the droids, with its debris hitting the second droid and causing it to crash in the jungle below, right where Skywalker and Kenobi were situated with their [[troop]]s. Thanks to Warthog and Koon's escort, the LAAT/i gunships were able to reach the evacuation area and collected Skywalker, Kenobi, and their men. Warthog and his general continued to provide cover after the gunships lifted off, with the convoy also retrieving a clone [[trooper]] patrol led by Skywalker's [[Padawan]], [[Ahsoka Tano]], from elsewhere in the jungle. The Republic forces withdrew from Felucia, abandoning the world to the Confederacy for the [[time]] being.<ref name="Holocron Heist" /> |

[[CC-3636]] lead [[Wolfpack]] in a rescue mission to the [[Aleen system|sytem]] where they flew down relief supplies for the [[Aleena]] and helped set up a temporary [[hospital]] and kitchen. Warthog flew a LAAT/i to transport supplies and [[troops]] down to the surface, and remarked about the type of planet he was on after an Aleena flying a [[Can-cell]] kept pace with his [[gunship]]. |
||
| + | In addition to operations with Hunter Squadron,<ref name="Shipyards of Doom" /> Warthog served with Koon's [[104th Battalion]] of the [[Grand Army of the Republic]], often supplying starfighter cover or flying one of the [[Battalion|unit's]] ''[[Plo's Bros]]'' gunships to deploy troops onto battlefields.<ref name="Encyclopedia" /> Later in 21 [[Galactic Standard Calendar|BBY]],<ref name="Mercy Mission Date">{{TCWdates|405}}</ref> Warthog was part of a 104th task force—led by [[Clone trooper commander|Clone Commander]] [[CC-3636]], nicknamed "Wolffe"—that was dispatched to block a Separatist annexation of the [[Mid Rim]] [[Qiilura system]]. En route there aboard an [[Wolffe's Acclamator I-class assault ship|''Acclamator''-class assault ship]], the clone detachment was redirected to [[Mission to Aleen|deliver]] relief supplies to the nearby planet [[Aleen]], which had been devastated by [[groundquake]]s.<ref name="Mercy Mission">{{TCW|Mercy Mission}}</ref> A number of LAAT/i gunships were fully loaded<ref name="Explore: Mercy Mission">{{SW|url=explore/the-clone-wars/ep405/#!/about|text="Mercy Mission" - ''The Clone Wars'' Episode Guide}}</ref> with provision crates and 104th troops, as was one of the Republic [[Acclamator I-class assault ship|assault ship's]] accompanying [[Pelta-class frigate|''Pelta''-class frigates]]. Warthog was among the pilots assigned to bring the gunships to Aleen's surface. After launching from the [[transport]]'s [[hangar]], Warthog did a double take when he caught sight of a native [[Aleena]] flying a [[can-cell]] mount, remarking that it would be another one of "those" worlds. Once the pilots had brought their supplies to an Aleena refugee zone and repaired the world's mainframe [[computer]]s, [[Commander]] Wolffe recalled their forces from Aleen,<ref name="Mercy Mission" /> and they departed to rendezvous with Koon.<ref name="Nomad Droids">{{TCW|Nomad Droids}}</ref> |

| − | Shortly after the [[Battle of Kiros]], Warthog once again flew with master Plo Koon in a [[Battle of Kadavo|attempt to rescue]] the [[Togruta|people]] of [[Kiros]], who were being held as [[slave]]s in a [[Zygerrian Labor Processing Hub|labor processing plant]] on [[Kadavo]]. Plo Koon lead a squadron of [[Clone Z-95 Headhunter]]s and [[Low Altitude Assault Transport/infantry|LAAT/i]] gunships while they assualted the [[Zygerrian]] base, with Warthog flying a Headhunter. [[HH-87 Starhopper]]s, combined with the gun turrets of the base soon proved difficult to take out. A pair HH-87 Starhoppers flanked the Headhunters and opened fire on them, and Warthog took a hit. Realizing his wingman was in danger, Master Koon cut his engines to let both Warthog and the enemy [[starfighter]]s pass. Once behind the Starhoppers, the Jedi Master disposed of them with quick bursts of cannon fire, saving Warthog's life once again. After the gun turrets were taken out by [[Jedi]] [[Anakin Skywalker]], [[Admiral]] [[Coburn]] and the [[Wolfpack]] aboard a [[Arquitens-class light cruiser]] rescued the people of Kiros. |

| + | After the Confederacy facilitated the capture and [[Slavery|enslavement]] of a number of [[Togruta]] colonists from the planet [[Kiros]],<ref name="Kidnapped">{{TCW|Kidnapped}}</ref> the Republic launched an operation to rescue them from subjugation by the [[Zygerrian Slave Empire]]. After Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano [[Mission to Zygerria|infiltrated]] the Slave Empire, they discovered that the Togrutas were being held at a [[Kadavo slave processing facility|slave processing facility]] on [[Kadavo]], and they called in Koon and the 104th Battalion as reinforcements to [[Battle of Kadavo|liberate]] the slaves. Being attached to a 104th [[Wolfpack]] squadron of [[clone Z-95 starfighter]]s, Warthog was dispatched aboard<ref name="Escape from Kadavo">{{TCW|Escape from Kadavo}}</ref> [[Admiral]] [[Coburn]]'s [[Coburn's flagship|''Venator''-class Star Destroyer]]<ref name="Encyclopedia: Coburn">{{SWE|characters|admiralcoburn|Admiral Coburn}}</ref> to the [[Kadavo system]]. Upon their emergence from hyperspace, Warthog left the [[Venator-class Star Destroyer|Star Destroyer's]] flight deck aboard a Z-95 starfighter, heading for the slave facility alongside Koon and the Wolfpack.<ref name="Escape from Kadavo" /> Leading the starfighter assault with Koon,<ref name="Explore: Escape from Kadavo">{{SW|url=explore/the-clone-wars/ep413/#!/about|text="Escape from Kadavo" - ''The Clone Wars'' Episode Guide}}</ref> Warthog was tasked alongside his comrades with eliminating the air defenses of the facility, which was suspended over a [[Volcano|volcanic]] crater, so that Coburn could bring in the [[Arquitens-class light cruiser|''Arquitens''-class light cruiser]]<ref name="Escape from Kadavo" /> ''[[Hand of Justice]]''<ref name="TCWEG">''[[Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Episode Guide]]''</ref> to retrieve the Togrutas.<ref name="Escape from Kadavo" /> |
||
| + | |||
| + | The [[Zygerrian]] defenses soon grew from the facility's [[ray shield]]ed [[Autoturret|turret]] towers to [[HH-87 Starhopper]]s, which were launched to do battle with the Republic starfighters. One of the enemy Starhoppers landed a hit on Warthog's starfighter, damaging a portion of his wing between the [[cockpit]] and port [[engine]]. Noticing the struggling Warthog, Koon briefly cut his interceptor's engines, maneuvering behind the Starhoppers and firing upon them. Koon shot down one of the Zygerrian fighters, earning Warthog's thanks. Although the Republic starfighters were unable to take out the [[turbolaser]] towers due to their [[Deflector shield|shielding]], Skywalker addressed that issue by commandeering one of the turrets and turning it against the others. While Warthog and his fellow pilots continued to circle the facility, Coburn moved in with the ''Hand of Justice'', allowing Wolffe and his men to rescue the Togrutas from their holding cell, which had been opening onto the crater below. Once Coburn's [[Light Cruiser|vessel]] was clear of the facility, Koon ordered the Republic's LAAT/i gunships to open fire on the enemy station, compromising its supports and dropping it into the crater. With their mission a success, Warthog, Koon, and their comrades pulled out from Kadavo, and the Togrutas were brought aboard Coburn's [[warship]] for medical treatment.<ref name="Escape from Kadavo" /> |

- "Great. It's gonna be another one of those planets."
- ―A world-weary Warthog, upon seeing an Aleena flying a can-cell over Aleen
"Warthog" was the nickname of a veteran clone trooper pilot who served in the Republic Navy's Hunter Squadron during the Clone Wars, often as the wingman to Jedi General Plo Koon. Born on Kamino, Warthog became a skilled starfighter pilot and joined his clone trooper brethren in a number of engagements against the Confederacy of Independent Systems. He became good friends with fellow pilot Tracer, who served as the tail gunner for his BTL-B Y-wing starfighter during their service in Hunter Squadron. Warthog piloted his Y-wing during the Battle of Gwori of 22 BBY, serving under Jedi Masters Koon and Saesee Tiin to cripple the planet Gwori's Separatist shipyards. Although the mission was a success, Warthog lost Tracer to enemy fire from a Vulture droid starfighter while withdrawing from Gwori. At the First Battle of Felucia in 21 BBY, Warthog flew a V-19 Torrent starfighter, working with Koon to provide starfighter cover for a convoy of LAAT/i gunships. Warthog and Koon safely escorted the gunships to the surface of Felucia, where they rescued a Republic battle group that had been overrun by the Separatist Droid Army.
Besides serving in Hunter Squadron, Warthog was often attached to Clone Commander CC-3636's 104th Battalion, providing aerial support or piloting one of the unit's gunships. The latter was the case during a supply mission to Aleen, where Warthog ferried 104th troops and relief supplies. Flying a nimble clone Z-95 starfighter, Warthog joined Koon in leading a starfighter assault on a slave processing facility on Kadavo, where the Separatist-allied Zygerrian Slave Empire had enslaved a number of Togruta colonists. Warthog and his Wolfpack pilots eliminated the Zygerrians' HH-87 Starhoppers and turbolaser defenses so that Admiral Coburn could retrieve the Togrutas with the light cruiser Hand of Justice.
Biography
Assault on Gwori
- "You hear that, Tracer. We stuck it to the clankers good!"
"I'm letting you… out of our bet, Warthog… The fleet… can buy me a drink… for this one."
"You hang in there, Tracer! We're going home." - ―Warthog and a dying Tracer
Warthog attends the briefing under Generals Koon and Tiin alongside his tail gunner, Tracer.
The clone trooper who took the nickname "Warthog"[2] was born on the planet Kamino for service to the Galactic Republic.[3] Warthog became a clone trooper pilot and entered the Republic Navy during the Clone Wars, in which the Republic battled the Confederacy of Independent Systems for galactic supremacy.[2] By 22 BBY, the first year of the war,[4][5] Warthog joined the Republic Navy's Hunter Squadron,[6] a starfighter unit led by Jedi General Plo Koon[2] that primarily piloted BTL-B Y-wing starfighters.[7] Fellow clone pilot Tracer became the tail gunner for Warthog's Y-wing, and the two pilots formed a close friendship while stationed on the galactic capital of Coruscant. On one assignment, Warthog's unit was deployed aboard a Republic fleet to an[2] Outer Rim[8] staging area in the Moskk system, in preparation to mount an assault on the nearby Gwori system. The battle group's target was the primary shipyards[2] of Gwori Revolutionary Industries,[9] which produced battleships for the Confederate Navy at the planet Gwori.[2]
As part of the Republic's plan, a small team of Jedi and clones was sent to infiltrate Gwori to pinpoint the exact location of the shipyards, so that Hunter Squadron could move in and destroy the facility. Once Generals Koon and Saesee Tiin received the coordinates, they called a briefing aboard their Venator-class Star Destroyer to outline the attack strategy to Hunter Squadron. In response to comments from Warthog about their newest "no returner" mission, Tracer bet him ten rotations' worth of drinks that they would survive their assignment. After Koon and Tiin stated that they would be using high-power proton bombs against the enemy facility, the squadron's captain voiced his concern about reaching the shipyards themselves, as a massive Confederate fleet was blockading Gwori. Tiin explained that they would be utilizing a precision hyperspace jump, a risky maneuver that would allow them to emerge between the blockade and the planet. With all preparations in place, Warthog and Tracer set out aboard their BTL-B Y-wing starfighter with Hunter Squadron, following Koon and Tiin in their Delta-7B interceptors to the jump point. The Jedi Masters and clone pilots managed to safely reach Gwori, bypassing the Separatist blockade and heading for the world's equatorial canyon system, where the shipyards were located. Upon arrival at the shipyards, which were built into the canyon wall, Warthog and his comrades released their proton bombs onto the facility.[2]
Although Hunter Squadron's bombers landed direct hits to the facility, they failed to do damage beyond the top deck of Munificent-class star frigates. As the clones did not have enough ammunition to whittle away at the frigate decks in that manner, Koon had Warthog and the others set their targeting grids for the construction supports, which would compromise the facility's hold on the canyon wall. Circling back around in single-file Bantha formation, Warthog and his comrades encountered an incoming squadron of Vulture droid starfighters, which Overseer Juhm had dispatched to protect his facility. Though Tracer managed to hit several droid starfighters with their bomber's laser cannons, droid laser fire penetrated the ship's gunner bubble-turret, and Tracer was hit in the chest. Despite being concerned for his comrade, Warthog released his proton bombs alongside the rest of his unit, hitting the facility's supports and causing it to crash to the bottom of the canyon. With their objective completed, Koon and Tiin ordered Hunter Squadron to meet them at the rendezvous point, and the clones departed to jump to hyperspace. However, Tracer did not survive long enough to receive treatment, succumbing to his injury and dying before Warthog left Gwori's atmosphere.[2]
First Battle of Felucia
- "I can't shake these two droids!"
"Come around and I'll try to get them off your tail." - ―Warthog and Plo Koon
Warthog tries to escape from droid starfighters over Felucia.
Warthog saw action on a number of worlds as part of his service to the Republic.[1] At one point, he brought reinforcements to a Republic outpost aboard a prototype Y-wing scout bomber.[10] In 21 BBY, as the Clone Wars entered their second year,[11] Warthog[12] and Hunter Squadron,[6] flying V-19 Torrent starfighters, served under Koon as part of an evacuation operation at the jungle world of Felucia.[12] As Koon's wingman,[13] Warthog joined his fellow clone pilots in providing starfighter cover for the Republic fleet's LAAT/i gunships, which were to retrieve a battle group—under the command of Jedi Generals Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi—that had been trapped on the surface by a Separatist blockade.[12] Once Hunter Squadron eliminated one of the enemy Munificent-class frigates over Felucia,[6] Koon and Warthog moved in, leading the convoy of gunships through the breach in the blockade with an escort of starfighters. Warthog protected the gunships while Koon blasted through several Vulture droid starfighters, clearing the way for the rescue vessels.[12]
Despite bypassing the first wave of droid starfighters, the Republic convoy was pursued into the planetary atmosphere by more Vulture droids. A pair of them locked onto Warthog's V-19 Torrent, resisting his attempts to evade them. Unable to shake his pursuers, Warthog reported his predicament to Koon, who doubled back in his Delta-7B interceptor,[12] the Blade of Dorin,[14] to assist his wingman. Koon destroyed one of the droids, with its debris hitting the second droid and causing it to crash in the jungle below, right where Skywalker and Kenobi were situated with their troops. Thanks to Warthog and Koon's escort, the LAAT/i gunships were able to reach the evacuation area and collected Skywalker, Kenobi, and their men. Warthog and his general continued to provide cover after the gunships lifted off, with the convoy also retrieving a clone trooper patrol led by Skywalker's Padawan, Ahsoka Tano, from elsewhere in the jungle. The Republic forces withdrew from Felucia, abandoning the world to the Confederacy for the time being.[12]
In addition to operations with Hunter Squadron,[2] Warthog served with Koon's 104th Battalion of the Grand Army of the Republic, often supplying starfighter cover or flying one of the unit's Plo's Bros gunships to deploy troops onto battlefields.[1] Later in 21 BBY,[15] Warthog was part of a 104th task force—led by Clone Commander CC-3636, nicknamed "Wolffe"—that was dispatched to block a Separatist annexation of the Mid Rim Qiilura system. En route there aboard an Acclamator-class assault ship, the clone detachment was redirected to deliver relief supplies to the nearby planet Aleen, which had been devastated by groundquakes.[16] A number of LAAT/i gunships were fully loaded[17] with provision crates and 104th troops, as was one of the Republic assault ship's accompanying Pelta-class frigates. Warthog was among the pilots assigned to bring the gunships to Aleen's surface. After launching from the transport's hangar, Warthog did a double take when he caught sight of a native Aleena flying a can-cell mount, remarking that it would be another one of "those" worlds. Once the pilots had brought their supplies to an Aleena refugee zone and repaired the world's mainframe computers, Commander Wolffe recalled their forces from Aleen,[16] and they departed to rendezvous with Koon.[18]
Rescue on Kadavo
- "Yeah! That got 'em. Good work, General!"
"Keep your focus, Warthog. Watch out for those towers!" - ―Warthog and Plo Koon
Warthog's Z-95 starfighter is damaged by HH-87 Starhoppers at the Kadavo facility.
After the Confederacy facilitated the capture and enslavement of a number of Togruta colonists from the planet Kiros,[19] the Republic launched an operation to rescue them from subjugation by the Zygerrian Slave Empire. After Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano infiltrated the Slave Empire, they discovered that the Togrutas were being held at a slave processing facility on Kadavo, and they called in Koon and the 104th Battalion as reinforcements to liberate the slaves. Being attached to a 104th Wolfpack squadron of clone Z-95 starfighters, Warthog was dispatched aboard[20] Admiral Coburn's Venator-class Star Destroyer[21] to the Kadavo system. Upon their emergence from hyperspace, Warthog left the Star Destroyer's flight deck aboard a Z-95 starfighter, heading for the slave facility alongside Koon and the Wolfpack.[20] Leading the starfighter assault with Koon,[22] Warthog was tasked alongside his comrades with eliminating the air defenses of the facility, which was suspended over a volcanic crater, so that Coburn could bring in the Arquitens-class light cruiser[20] Hand of Justice[23] to retrieve the Togrutas.[20]
The Zygerrian defenses soon grew from the facility's ray shielded turret towers to HH-87 Starhoppers, which were launched to do battle with the Republic starfighters. One of the enemy Starhoppers landed a hit on Warthog's starfighter, damaging a portion of his wing between the cockpit and port engine. Noticing the struggling Warthog, Koon briefly cut his interceptor's engines, maneuvering behind the Starhoppers and firing upon them. Koon shot down one of the Zygerrian fighters, earning Warthog's thanks. Although the Republic starfighters were unable to take out the turbolaser towers due to their shielding, Skywalker addressed that issue by commandeering one of the turrets and turning it against the others. While Warthog and his fellow pilots continued to circle the facility, Coburn moved in with the Hand of Justice, allowing Wolffe and his men to rescue the Togrutas from their holding cell, which had been opening onto the crater below. Once Coburn's vessel was clear of the facility, Koon ordered the Republic's LAAT/i gunships to open fire on the enemy station, compromising its supports and dropping it into the crater. With their mission a success, Warthog, Koon, and their comrades pulled out from Kadavo, and the Togrutas were brought aboard Coburn's warship for medical treatment.[20]
Personality and traits
- "I hope you got a lot of credits with the brewers on Coruscant, Warthog!"
"We live through this and I'll buy you all the drinks you want, Tracer!" - ―Tracer and a relieved Warthog, upon executing their precision hyperspace jump to bypass the Gwori blockade
A veteran pilot, Warthog used customized Phase II armor.
A Human male clone[1] of the Grand Army template Jango Fett,[3] Warthog stood 1.83 meters high[1] and had black hair, black eyes, and tan skin.[2] A veteran pilot and ace, Warthog possessed considerable skill in combat operations.[1] He was a member of Hunter Squadron, a Republic Navy unit that enjoyed a high mission success rate, even for so-called "no returner" assignments.[2] Although Hunter Squadron was reputed for piloting BTL-B Y-wing starfighters,[7] the highly capable Warthog was also comfortable with flying a number of other vessels, including the V-19 Torrent interceptor, the LAAT/i gunship, and the agile clone Z-95 starfighter.[1] He formed a close friendship with his Y-wing tail gunner, Tracer, and the two pilots bet on drinks over their mission to Gwori. During that operation, Warthog was so relieved with the success of their precision hyperspace jump that he almost promised to forgo their bet. He urged Tracer to hang in there after the latter was injured by enemy fire, but Tracer died from his wound.[2]
Serving under Jedi General Plo Koon, Warthog built up a close relationship with his commanding officer throughout their mutual service on the front lines,[1] being his wingman at the First Battle of Felucia[13] and leading a starfighter assault on Kadavo alongside the Jedi Master.[22] Koon saved Warthog from pursuant enemy craft on a number of occasions,[1] including at Felucia[12] and Kadavo,[20] and the clone pilot was only too happy to repay the courtesy.[1] Warthog exhibited a sarcastic sense of humor,[16] which caused him—in addition to weariness and his previous service on various worlds[1]—to comment cynically about Aleen and its inhabitants while on a mercy mission there. He spoke Galactic Basic Standard.[16]
Equipment
During the Battle of Gwori,[24] Warthog sported the standard pilot version of Phase I clone trooper armor, with yellow markings and the red insignia of the Galactic Republic on his helmet.[2] By the time of the First Battle of Felucia, Warthog adopted a customized suit of Phase I armor, with his helmet featuring a black bird emblem.[12] He did not make the jump to Phase II armor immediately,[16] but when he did, he carried over a variation of his black helmet markings, incorporating them into his new gear.[20] All of his armor suits[2][12][20] were equipped with vital sign sensors.[25]
Behind the scenes
The character of Warthog first appeared in September 2008 in the comic book Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Shipyards of Doom, which was drawn by the Fillbach Brothers and written by Henry Gilroy, the Head Writer for the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series.[2] Warthog was incorporated into the television series in the episode "Holocron Heist," which aired on October 2, 2009 as part of the premiere of the series' second season.[13] He was later featured in the fourth season episodes "Mercy Mission"[17] and "Escape from Kadavo,"[22] which were released in October 2011[17] and January 2012, respectively. The latter episode debuted a new Phase II armor model for him,[22] as all of the series' clone trooper characters were upgraded to Phase II for the fourth season.[26][27] Warthog was portrayed by voice actor Dee Bradley Baker in the television series.[13][16][20] As part of his appearance in "Escape from Kadavo," Warthog received an entry in the StarWars.com Encyclopedia.[1] As far as merchandising, a figure of Warthog was released in the "Y-Wing Scout Bomber" set of Hasbro's The Clone Wars toy line.[10]
