228th Black Skulls |
"Oh, here he is, three minutes late as expected. Now...Where's my gun?" ―228th Corporal Halves mutters to himself as his target comes into view.
Comic strip starring 228th.
The 228th Black Skulls Corps is large clone trooper unit with many trooper programs beneath it like ARC, ARF, Commando, Echelon, and etc. Like many other clone units like the 91st Corps & 7th Sky Corps the 228th in its entirety had over 36,000 troopers. The 228th's main troopers (grunts) were as well trained as standard Shadow Troopers and all the different programs above that were even more specialized and elite. For example the 228th's commando program was a lot harder and produced better results then the standard programs of the GAR.
These clones were heavily trained to conduct recon and assassinations that appeared as accidents on CIS political leaders. The 228th didn't train their members with their tactics since the beginning of their clone lives, but instead, hand-picked clones who excelled in combat movement and tactical theory. This was because they valued the thought and theory of combat more than the run and gun tactics clones were often trained to use.
After clones were chosen for joining the 228th, they were trained in the basics in all kinds of different sections of specialization, e.g. Engineering, Medical Knowledge, disarming explosives, hacking, close combat, torture, etc.

History[]
Operation: Backdoor Neglect[]
During Operation Backdoor Neglect, the 228th was tasked with storming through the front lines and attacking droid encampments during the First Battle of Geonosis in 22 BBY. Whilst fighting hard, Shadow Company had won their attack. CT-2405 Ring showed excellent skills and was promoted to corporal by Captain Flanker.
Operation: Nightingale[]
'Op Nightingale', was considered a walk in the park for most of the 228th, getting their first droid 'kill', before being given their mission brief. The 228th's objective was to find and then destroy the droid scouts that had infiltrated the defenses on Kashyyyk, and were relaying Intel back to an unknown CIS frigate. This mission was a success with the 228th taking very minimal casualties, yet they managed to destroy 17 CIS scout droids on the planet's surface.
For CT-2405 "Ring", he was assigned a task by the recently promoted Flanker who was now major, he led his own squad on this mission, they took out 6 of the 17 CIS scout droids. He was promoted to Sergeant after this success.
Operation: Midnight Recluse[]
Operation Midnight Recluse, took part on the forest moon of Endor, the mission began at the planets Midnight and lasted 4 hours. Most of which were on an off firefights against the CIS. The primary objective was to capture an unnamed senator, who was supplying the CIS with parts and resources to build a super cannon capable of destroying moons and planets in just a couple of shots. The mission was considered a bloody victory, with 228th Shadow Company taking very heavy casualties. CT-2405 "Ring" was injured during this battle and was rushed off to a medical station in the Bespins System. Before this he and his squad managed to get hold of the senator and capture him and return him to the landing zone to be transported to The Re-claimer Venator Class Star Destroyer.
The Purge: Journal Log[]
"The Night it all changed" We all knew something was going to happen, we didn't think it actually would though, but the blasted clankers knew how to hit us, and knew how to hit us hard, they came in the middle of the night, fast air to soften us up then the main force came, B2's were the vanguard, we setup our forward defenses but it was too little too late, they whittled us down till there was a handful of us left, they say we won that battle, then how come were still fighting. the survivors gathered what we could and escaped in an LAAT to a FOB as we await to be reassigned. This is ARF Designation 0666 Satan, the 228th is not defeated, we are reborn and seeking vengeance for our fallen brothers.
Operation: Predator 'N Prey[]
The survivors from the night raid quickly flew to The Republic Venator recently gifted to us for our war efforts but had not yet been given a name. As we were enroute to the Venator Captain Hog beckoned me over and so I went. “Psycho we need to make sure the boys are alright *Cough* we will have our revenge brother, we need to make sure our brothers didn't die in vain, especially the ones that couldn't make it to the escape shuttle. *Cough* For we the Predators of the night never leave a hunt unfinished. Remember this day! It will aid you for we have a new pack leader”. We all looked at each other in confusion. Then I saw the blood drip from his helmet, so I then carefully began to remove his helmet. “No leave it, I don't want the men's last moments of me to be all bloodied and worn. Let them remember the armor and what it represented, not the man behind it for they age and rot. They need to be strong like the armor we all bear for the cause, For The REPUBLI… *cough, cough.* My hand begins to shake because I knew what was about to happen. The stream of blood begins to run from his pauldron to his kama to the floor. His grip begins to go limp. “Hog, sir you're gonna be fine, you're always fine! Hog… Hog… HOG don't you go man. SIR DISREGARD MY DISRESPECT BUT YOU NEED TO WAKE THE FARRIK UP SIR. HOG!!!! The medic’s then restrain me as they begin to bring Hog back and I then begin to feel something in my right hand. I open my clenched fist and see a holo-tape with the Captains seal on it. I open the holo-tape while I fight back the tears. In it wrote, "To my Brothers, I have fought with most of you since the battle of Geonosis to Operation: Midnight Recluse. You are all Fantastic men I couldn't have done all of it without you, but my time with you all may be dwindling. You all know I like to have a back up plan but I feel like we are being watched and I felt that last op was a setup from the beginning, I have little proof but I always get a gut feeling when something is off and my officers know that. I felt this unit is the best I had the luxury of being a part of, so much so I think of it As the family we never had on Kamino. If I were to ever perish in the line of battle there are 3 men that I would like to appoint for promotions. 1st LT Psycho to Captain, Sergeant Major Satan to 2nd LT, and last but not least, Corporal Corve to 2nd LT. These men are the finest men and the bravest I have ever known since Cobalt fell. I hear something going on outside again some of the boys are getting riled up. A new Lance Corporal is a bit criked. He's a tank operator and all our tanks are non-functional, but I see the potential in him." *END RECORDING* The recording begins to play again. I look over to the medic and as I do our eyes meet he begins to take off his helmet. His helmet is lowered to the floor and all I see is the tears of a battle hardened soldier falling to the floor like a kid that just lost his parents. All the crying in pains and the wound moaning in pain ceases. The rest of the ride to the Venator was quiet. Almost like to reflect the moments we spent with Hog. Like a moment of silence for our great leader. We arrive at the Venator as the ramp lowers Marshal Commander Flanker to greet us with a smile, but that happiness fades to the face of loss as I exit the LAAT with Hog in my arms leaving a trail of blood in every step. Flanker begins to tear up as these two men have known each other since their training on Kamino. Flanker never spoke much but when he did it was with meaning and purpose. “This Venator was brand new and just like always, Hog makes it his. He always did like the new toys we got. Might as well give him this Dank Farrik ship anyways. We’ll call it the Moccus. It is a local god that was invoked as the protector of boar hunters and warriors. Fits him perfectly doesn't it.” I could tell Flanker was struggling to keep his composure, Dank Farrik we all were. As the quiet night upon the Moccus settled there was a knock on the door and to my surprise it was Flanker he had some news for me. “I went through the mission debriefing Hog sent me before the night raid and some key elements in the file you gave me differ from the republic database ones. It says here the republic forces failed to capture the tactical droids data but I have the data here in the last transmission from Hogs fireteam. Someone didn't want this to get in Republic hands and I think I know who. Your mission is as follows CIS informant, Koshak Biggens Ex naval operative, new death watch Blue and brown Mando armor, Very dangerous Fully armed and equipped with an E-5 blaster and a Fully functional jet pack Has a shuttle to escape in, Take him in alive at all cost!
Operation: Bloodlust[]
"We're operating out of convention here, Sir." Spook pointed out. His scoped DC-15X rested on his knees as he stared through his scope.
"That may be well and true," Responded now 2LT Satan, nudging his friend as they gazed down the hill at the Separatist forces. "But when did we ever play by the rules?"
"I'll drink to that one. Here come's the convoy."
Operation Bloodlust was a secretive operation conducted by Hellhound Company in retaliation for The Purge and the death of Hog. 2 weeks before Operation Homebase, The Company scouted out CIS Positions of an Officer believed to have had a hand in the attack - assaulting a small Starport controlled by the CIS where the Officer was believed to be. However, of the group, one wouldn't be coming home. During the fighting, 2LT Satan was mortally wounded by an exploding detonator, and dragged into cover by Spook. The leader of the Company had to be Medevac'd back to base leaving Spook to continue leading the assault. Enraged by the injury of his friend and mentor, Spook fired his blaster point blank into the officer rather than keeping him alive.. Upon arriving back to the Venator, Spook learned news of Satan's passing, leaving him in Command of Hellhound. Spook looked into the mirror, and saw the Bloodstains on his mask resembling that of a smile - to which he kept as a permanent paintjob in memory of Satan.
Experiments: No More Fallen Brothers[]
After the events of the Purge and the death of a fallen brother, CT-0666 "Satan", during Operation: Bloodlust the 228th was rightfully fed up. Too many of their close brothers have died, Flanker and Spook were hit hard with the death of both Hog and Satan and the rest of men were struggling with their death and other close brothers. After sitting in silence to mourn their fallen brothers Flanker stood up. The rest of the men knew what this meant, Flanker wasn't the one to talk a lot, but if he did, he had a plan and he would see it through. Flanker cleared his voice and said, "from this day forward we will never have another 228th member die." Psycho spoke up and said, "how can you control something like that? doesn't see possible or within reason." Orion followed up and said, "yea, as much as we would all love that it doesn't seem possible, war is unpredictable." Flanker chuckled a bit and said, "and we're not?" Spook perked up a little bit, he was both hopeful and unsure, he trusted Flanker but Orion and Psycho made a good point. Strider too spoke up and said, "what do you have in mind?" Flanker pitched his idea, he proposed that the 228th begin working more into experiments. More so then what they have in the past, although it would be hard while being stationed with the 10th. They would start figuring out a way to bring their fallen soldiers back from the dead, all the men thought this plan was crazy and wouldn't work, but what other choice did they have and Flanker was right, the 228th was unpredictable so if anyone could do it, we could. So they all began running tests and trials trying to figure out a way they could get it to work, coming up with code names so the republic wouldn't find out what they were doing. They decided to go with "Dead" and "Burial" So after battle they would say that they were going out to gather their "dead" and prepare them for "burial" when in reality they were going to gather their brothers to take them back for revival. They completed all they needed to do, it was just a matter of not losing any men before they were assigned their own base.
Changes in Time: Attack on the 10th System Stronghold[]
After the last few operations the 228th gained more valiant men and was assigned under the 10th System (Eagle) Army, led by Grand General Sigma. They were assigned there during some unrest and disagreements between clone corps and legions. After the issue settled out there was a large scale Separatist attack on the 10th Stronghold the 228th was the most eager to hop into the fight. The 228th Black Skulls Battalion fought along side the 88th Star Corps, lead by Marshal Commander Hail (from the 13th Moddell Sector) and a few other 10th units. After fending off the attack Flanker was promoted for his eagerness and battle strats, to take out the enemy tanks CC-5733 "Flanker" flanked hard left and went around to behind the CIS Tanks, they carried Z-6 Rotary Blasters and Rocket Launchers and Mortars, 50 men from the battalion lined up their shots and fired, taking out large pockets of tanks and droids. Because of this effort Commander Flanker was promoted to Regimental Commander and his unit containing 3 companies went from a Battalion to a combined Regiment.
Operation: Reassignment[]
The 228th was tasked to make a base on Moraband and defend the thirteenth sector, while setting up their base, Flanker, Venom, Hog, Nightfang, Hawkeye, and Cross were patrolling the old sith ruins, while doing so Flanker stumbled upon and old grave sight, he pried it open and was confronted by a sith spirit, Flanker was given extensive knowledge of where new and improved tech was, but at a cost, if he spoke the location out-loud he would die, his face was also blacked out and he gained some unnatural abilities, but if he used them to much it would cause large sums of pain. The Flanker Crisis (Break: Operations Moonlight & The Hunt take place between the reassignment and sith run in and to the end of this entry) After this unfortunate occurrence with the sith, Sigma again promoted Flanker, Flanker was promoted to Lead Marshal Commander and given charge of the 13th Sector. After a few months of maintaining the 13th Sector, Jedi General Ghost increased in his skills, and grew a few ranks becoming a High General of the 228th. After a little more time the 228th was put in charge of the 1st System, the 228th being the lead unit decided to name it the 1st System Reapers Army. Once back at base from Operation: The Hunt they were to try their first experiment at reviving their brothers. The took them and removed their armor and injected them with the serum. Almost instantly the skin on their head began to melt off. The members of the 228th were disappointed until their brother sat up and spoke to them, it had worked, although the skin on his head was now gone and the only thing that remained was a Black/ Dark Gray Skull with a red glow emitting from the eye socket, it was the price for life, but being a member of the 228th he wasn't disappointed with his look and embraced it. Excited Flanker, Spook, Psycho, Strider, and the rest of the members began injecting the rest of their brothers bringing them back, all with the same conditions. It was at that point Flanker decided they needed a name change. From the 228th Black Ops Corps to the 228th Black Skulls Corps, might as well, it was a fitting name for the unit. Being that Flanker had a similar look but with an added black cloud of mist like appearance. It also just so happened to match their logo. So from then on the 228th were known as the 228th Black Skulls Corps.
New Discoveries: Cloaking Tech - Armor Enhancements[]
After first arriving to Moraband and shortly after finding the cure for their brothers, the 228th began working on new technology, tactics, abilities, and etc. the 228th discovered cloaking tech, they were the only unit in the clone wars to use this tech because they were the only unit that had the armor with the proper hardware to support the cloaking software. That being said cloaking has existed for a long time but this specific software only worked with 228th armor hardware to avoid being stolen and used against them. They came equipped with trackers so if one was lost or stolen from a member then they could simply be located, if its somewhere its not supposed to be then it would self destruct destroying the part! The 228th also came up with precautions to better protect vital areas. Flanker would often send in a squad of stealth troopers or members of Hellhound, the lead squad of the ARF trooper program to protect a group of engineers while they infiltrated the Mandalorian mines and stole Beskar. These pieces of Beskar would be melted down and turned into different pieces! Two pieces would be made to line the inside of the helmets and the underneath side of the chest plate of the clones to offer better protection from blaster fire, along the neck a woven Beskar is worn, (kevlar type) to help with shrapnel to the neck although unlike the beskar lining wouldnt be enough to block a full frontal blaster shot.
Operation: Moonlight[]
Operation Moonlight took place on the planet Alderaan, both troopers and officers from Shadow and Onyx Company took part in the Operation. The mission was to infiltrate the planet’s Atmosphere and perform reconnaissance due to Republic intelligence believing the CIS to have obtained a form of dangerous weapons. Onyx and Shadow Company successfully infiltrated Alderaan and were able to land safely onto the planet’s surface. However, within minutes of landing both Companies were detected by CIS Commando droids and had to fight through hundreds of droids, before retreating into the nearby caverns and tunnels. Onyx and Shadow Companies were only able to Marshal Commander Flanker a few minutes of sanctuary before encountering an ambush within the tunnels, from this we were able to speculate that the CIS’s new Commando droids are programmed to the highest level. Through blood and sweat, 228th forces escaped the tunnels with zero casualties, leading them into a open water reservoir. With ease, Commander Lancer and Private Murphy spotted the dangerous weapons in question. Sergeant Major of the Battalion Ring managed to use his technical knowledge from past experience to disarm the three dangerous weapons which, turned out to be nuclear weapons capable of destruction of planets. We believe these weapons were going to be used very soon as they were fully primed and armed, ready for launch. Upon disarming the weapon, Onyx and Shadow Companies requested their specialized LAATs for immediate exfil with the weapons over a secure republic comms channel. Within minutes the Venator-class Star Destroyer “The Reclaimer” he was a flipping their call and all members of Operation Moonlight were extracted safely from the planet’s surface. After the fight Commander Lance became ill, the men tracked the illness and it derived from the latest mission. Lance survived the infectious disease but retired because of the toll it took on his body, CC-5733 Regimental Commander Flanker was then assigned CC-5733 Senior Commander.
Operation: The Hunt[]
The was then later on assigned by Grand General Sigma to track and hunt down an H.V.T. This target had important info on the CIS that could help give the republic an advantage in the war. The 228th tracked the target to a woodland planet... it was a Twi'lek defector, he was keeping CIS knowledge hidden in plain sight. The 228th used active camo to sneak closer to him, he spotted on Hawler moving across the open his active camo was still in testing, and malfunctioned. The Twi'lek called in his commando droid body guards and they ambushed the 228th from the trees, the clones fought back and picked them off one by one with minimal casualties, they rushed the Twi'lek and tackled him to the ground, he kept resisting so Flanker walked up and snapped both of his legs, they dragged him back to their gunship and "gathered" their dead for "burial" then took him back to Sigma for interrogation.
Operation: For My Brother[]
First Battle of Felucia was an operation in which Separatist General Grievous laid to Republic defenders of the planet. While the droids dominated the clone troopers , killing the majority of them, Ahsoka Tano and a trio of vehicles went out on reconnaissance patrol. Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Rex and Cody began to push the droid forces back in a successful offensive however they were quickly overwhelmed after the Separatist reinforcements arrived. Being some distance away, Ahsoka and her patrol were simply too far to offer any aid and so Plo Koon was dispatched to evacuate the force. Meanwhile the 228th Black Skulls were tasked with ambushing any patrols that might come across the Republic encampments. They also were sent in ahead of time to mark the point of the heaviest amount of droids.
Operation: Homebase[]
Operation: Homebase took place a couple months after Flanker had become a Lead Marshal Commander. The 228th Black Skulls has been assigned to attack Malastare and repel the separatist forces on the planet. Two Venator Class Star Destroyers come out of hyperspace and fire upon the blockade, four elite LAAT Gunships fly through the canon fire with escorts and through the blockade towards the ground surface. CIS AA Guns fire upon the oncoming 228th Gunships damaging three of them causing them to lose altitude and take a hard landing. The fourth LAAT flies behind enemy lines and lands, the men unload the LAAT and run for a nearby rock formation. Flanker and 8 of his men prep their gear and prepare to move forward. Meanwhile the three LAATs that landed hard unload under heavy fire and move to small rocks for cover. Z-6 Troopers begin laying suppressive fire upon the enemy encampment while the rest move forward. 228th Grunts charge forward taking out a large sum of droids by melee the active camo making them harder to hit. Flanker and his men infiltrate the enemy base and begin ripping it apart from the inside and executing the CIS Planetary Commander. The 228th Won the battle with a fair amount of casualties. The 228th quickly began gathering their "dead" for "burial" The main Battle of Malastare with the zillo beast takes place after.
Operation: Termination[]
During the Second Battle of Geonosis when the Republic issued a full on attack on the planet of Geonosis in an attempt to destroy its battle droid manufacturing facilities. With countless casualties, the Republic claimed victory in the end and captured Separatist leader, Poggle the Lesser. During that time the 228th Black Skulls was tasked to infiltrate the catacombs and burn and eliminate as many Geonosian bugs as possible, there were zero 228th casualties and there was an approximate kill count of 750 bugs.
Operation: Welcome Home[]
The Battle of Kamino took place in the year 22 BBY when Separatist forces invaded the planet's cloning facilities in Tipoca City. Both sides suffered mild casualties, however the Republic claimed victory and pushed the Separatists out of the system. During the battle the 228th were detached immediately to the deep sea levels, they equipped their scuba gear and repelled as many of the underwater Trident Class Assault Ships as possible.
Operation: Ghost in the Dark[]
(The 228th's First Phase 2 Armor Battle) The Battle of Umbara took place in the second half of the Clone Wars, when Republic forces launched an invasion against the Umbaran Militia and their allies, the Separatists, in one of the most prolonged campaigns of the war. Whilst the 501st and 212th Attacked main control points on the planet the 228th infiltrated an Umbaran Science lab where they took samples of the different chemicals used for torture. During this battle they used a standard black and gray camo armor. They returned back to the 10th stronghold and Flanker was promoted to Marshal Commander and the unit was made into a Corp. The 228th Black Skulls also got a new jedi general, Jedi General Ghost, a former sith, and now a silver jedi.
Operation: The Fleet Admiral[]
While stationed on Moraband the 228th was visited by the 91st Fleet Admiral, Lynx. She was here to request backup for the 91st later attack, she was a beautiful Fleet Admiral, all the men loved being around her, Flanker saw more, he told Hog to keep the men in check. Flanker allowed her to remain in his quarters during the night as Flanker walked the base. Lynx and Flanker talked, and Flanker agreed to offer assistance, Flanker also really liked the fleet admiral and asked if shed take a leave of absence with him to Naboo, she agreed. After a couple days on Naboo they started dating, they then returned back to the 91st's Capital Ship and went to talk with Marshal Commander Neyo. While discussing a plan of attack the Capital Ship was invaded by CIS forces, it was a distraction, the assault mission turned into a defensive mission and the only 228th member to help was Flanker. Neyo stayed on the bridge with the Fleet Admiral, while Flanker went to help, after a short firefight, Flanker heard a distress call over the comms, he cloaked and made his way to a door a clone was trapped behind, he uncloaked and phased through it, Flanker dropped to his knees in pain from the phase, he regained his strength and planned a way out with the clone, they pried the doors open and began to fire at a small clump of droids the clone covered the front corridor as Flanker went down the left one, Flanker cloaked and ran up to a clump of droids then uncloaked and knifed 3 droids down then recloaked, he moved to the next set uncloaking once again and smashing ones head into anothers chest while tripping the third then stomping its head. There were a few casualties but the CIS forces were repelled and Flanker spoke one last time with Lynx before returning to Moraband.
Operation: Headhunter[]
During a Planetary Wide assault, Marshal Commander Flanker assigned Commander Tank the task of leading the largest clump of troopers into the fight. They were spread out in the open and sniper fire was picking off clones left and right. Commander Tank cared for his brothers and ordered the tanks to get into a closer radius but not so close where an explosion could cause a chain reaction. He ordered the Clone Turbo Tanks to line up in the front and give heavy suppressive fire on the enemy encampment. These super tanks were modified and equipped with RX-200 Laser Turrets and Mid-Size cannons. Behind the Turbo Tanks TX-130’s followed behind, he ordered his men to use the tanks as cover. The AT-TE’s were ordered to fire in between the turbo tanks and onto the enemy. Com. Tank then got a large squad BARC Troopers and got on BARC Speeders and spread wide and rushed the encampment, with minimal casualties, Com. Tank ordered all the troopers that made it to fire Rockets and Mortars onto the base. All the Troopers fired setting the base ablaze, destroying every Clanker inside!
Operation: A Change in Plans[]
Clone Trooper Boxer of the 228th Black Skulls Corp. Has been assigned to go on a scout mission to Naboo he was overrun by commando droids, he managed to survive their captivity. During his captivity however, he decided to stick around and check around the prison. In the prison innocent families were being tortured and killed for simply not giving the Warden meal portions. Boxer, having learned that the warden is consistent of flesh and not metal, Boxer decided to get back at him for what he has done to the prisoners. Boxer took 2 days to plan and memorize the prison schematics. Boxer he was one of the very few test subjects to test new tech. During eating hours Boxer managed to smuggle a spoon back into his cell, when the guards weren’t looking he dug the spoon into his gums and wiggled a tooth loose, once he could grab it he ripped it out no problem. Boxer closes his eyes briefly from the pain but quickly pushes the bottom half of the tooth through a spot on his skin, this caused him to cloak, a guard notices he is no longer in his cell and runs into the cell to check it out, Boxer slips from behind him and goes to the location all his gear was kept, then headed to the wardens personal quarters, he walked in and locked the door. He examined the warden, the warden was short but rough looking. Boxer picks up the warden by his neck and backs him into the wall. Boxer then releases his grip on the warden, the warden makes a faint call for help before Boxer stabs him through the side of the neck, Boxer walks over to the wardens desk and hits a button to release all prisoners and he opens every door then blasts the console, he picks up a knife and walks over to the warden and runs the knife through his hand, Boxer, takes out the very spoon he used to dig his tooth out with and stabs him through the other hand, Boxer causes himself to uncloak and stand staring at the warden. Boxer put and explosive just out of reach and walked out the prison leaving a trail of explosives behind him, once he is clear of the prison he set off the explosives.
Operation: Close Call[]
Flanker tasked Hog to lead this mission, Hog took with him all the main members and other commanders of the 228th (see at top) Their mission was to rush a trandocian slaving center, the clones suited up in their close combat armors and got on BARC Speeders about 200 mile out from the target location. Hog and the other troopers started off to the outside of the base reaching speeds up to 320mph and then hopped off the the speeders once they arrived, they cloaked and charged straight ahead into the base. When they entered they uncloaked and began beating down every trando in site, wave after wave of trooper went in clearing all the rooms, the trandos began to open fire but their blaster couldn't penetrate the thick heavy armor of the clones. After a long brutal hour the clones released the slaves and took a single trando hostage, they returned back to Korriban, where they began to try and get info out of him, Flanker and hit two personal set of Special Ops Troopers called the Soul Reapers began to get all the info about trando locations as possible.
Operation: Ghost Ship[]
Assigned to this operation, Flanker, (Jedi) Ghost, Venom, Quick, Virus and Heavywire. Getting signs of a large ship on their scanners, they started out to the nearby sector where they intercepted the ship with an acclamator class, the was damaged and disabled. Their LAAT was able to land on the hull of the ship at which the men dismounted from the ship and made their way to the bridge. Ghost used his lightsaber to cut a hole into the ship and him and the men entered. As they cleared the bridge the ships lights flickered in the dark, the sounds of metal creaking together could be heard echoing throughout the ship. Flanker ordered Heavywire to access the ships main terminal and find out what he could about the ship. Meanwhile Ghost sensed death on the ship and a presence of evil. The rest of the men go with Flanker and search the ship, they round a corner and they are confronted with a large group of trandocians the men raise their blasters and start shooting them down. The trandos pick up their blasters and begin to fire back, Ghost rushes In shooting down three of them then slices down four while the men cloak and move to melee range. Ghost force pulls the blasters out of the trandos hands and immediately the men of the Black Skulls uncloak and use their viroblades the cut the throats of the trandos. Meanwhile Heavywire coms to the men that the ship is an ambush ship and there are hundreds of trandos and they needed to get out of there. The men cloaked and Ghost making himself like a shadow began to head back for the bridge, when they got there the LAAT was already hovering above, with ropes through the hole, which Heavywire had made bigger, they attached to the ropes and fired and the waves of rushing trandos. The LAAT increased altitude and began making its way back to the acclamator, Flanker ordered to fire all canons at the ship! The ship pointed all its cannons at the ship and opened fire destroying it instantly. Once the men were on board they returned back to Moraband.

They attached decompression capsules to the ship that also drilled through the ships hull, they jumped into the ships corridors and destroyed the droids right inside, the cloaked and spread out across the ship. Conman continued the fight in space, the battle was long and constant, after a few long hours Heavywire contacted Conman and told him to fire on the decompression capsules. Conman ordered his squadron to circle around and fire on the capsules, Heavywire hacked some vulture droids and had them rush out of the hanger and crash into other vulture droids and then they jumped out the hanger and used jetpacks to fly into the abyss of space, they were then picked up by LAATs. Conman and his men fired on the capsules and shot them off, everything in those near chambers were sucked out into space. With that the LAATs returned to the republic capital ship and Conman and his squadron continued the battle in space for the next 2 hours, after such the CIS retreated.

Virus and a small squad of ARF troopers got on AT-RTs and began the scouting of nearby sectors. After around half and hour Virus got a ping on the AT-RT's motion detector, him and his men slowed their pace and kept moving forwards, towards a canyon. They reached the canyon and got off their walkers and moved to the top of the canyon, as they moved across the top of the canyon, they spotted a group of B1 Battledroids moving infront of some Commando droids. They grabbed their DC-15x's and began to fire upon the droids in an ordered manner. After picking off the droids they scouted ahead more they discovered a drop-ship, they cloaked and moved to its hull and placed charges on it, they moved back and set them off and amongst the smoke the destroyed the remaining droids then returned back to base.

The two would spend a few days with the seps, doing tasks and gaining information for the assault to come. As the week came to an end, the assault on Duxn started. Both members were exposed and extracted to fight onto the battlefield. The 228th along with a few other Corps and Legions were able to take the planet and it’s the moon from the separatists.
Operation: How The Mighty Have Fallen[]
19BBY, The year of order 66, the 228th was on the planet of Umbara engaged in a heavy CQC Firefight. After some time the firefight concluded and the 228th have prevailed, they were giving each other highfives and congratulating each other when the orders came in. "Execute order 66" the men all heard the order and turned towards Ghost, they raised their blasters and began to fire, they quickly surrounded Ghost and shortly after began landing shots, after Ghost collapsed the walked up to him and he was gone, they heard laughter from all around then Ghost said seemingly from every direction, "you haven't learned all my tricks yet" the 228th immediately began searching for him, but he was no where to be found. They then remembered his former padawan and their other lower level Jedi general, Mara, she had been away for sometime training in the officer role and this was her first battle back with the 228th after some time. She was still on the Capital Ship the Moccus with the Fleet Admiral, Lynx. Flanker quickly gather a small detachment, Flanker picked two clones and told Strider to do the same, Flanker and Strider took their small detachment to quickly hunt down Mara, but when they arrived on the ship she was nowhere to be found and many of the clones on the ship were stunned or knocked out, not only that, there was no sign of the Fleet Admiral. Lynx had made an escape with Mara. After that, the 228th's main task was to hunt down all the remaining Jedi, and torture them for the location of the others and after the Establishment of the Empire, the 228th was tasked with rooting out Rebel sympathizers within the Empire and eliminating them discreetly. They were also used to destabilize Governing bodies that sided with the Rebellion or at the minimum couldn't be fully trusted. Lastly, due to being based within Urban areas such as Coruscant, they found themselves taking part in joint operations with Patrol Trooper squads and even Imperial Intelligence assets. , the 228th knew a fleet admiral by the name Lynx, she was close with the 228th and a beloved officer, she got separated from the clones when order 66 went down, the 228th in the back of their minds hoped for the best, Lynx, did not go through with the order 66 neither did she join the rebels, she went into hiding and was just trying to get away from it all, after the 228th Carried out order 66 and after finding and killing Jedi, and doing all said above, while on operation, Flanker ran into Lynx in an alleyway, the other members raised their blasters to open fire to cut the risk of being compromised but then they realized who she was, concerned for her they followed her back to her temporary hideout, they caught up and reconnected, found out she’s not involved and that Mara was alive and worried about the clones coming into the hideout so she hid, but the 228th apologized and they all reconnected with Mara as well, after some discussion, the 228th realized they were clones, and getting old, soon the empire would have no use for them and realized they were no different then the Jedi, not only that, they were growing tired of the enlisted human Stormtrooper recruits. They decided to depart with Lynx and help her find safe sanction, in this process the 228th returned to Moraband back to their old clone base to see what the could come up with (the 228th during the clone wars developed their own personal tech) in this process they were able to come up with a new serum, something that would change their lives forever, they discovered a serum that would stop their accelerated growth, but to their surprise not only did it stop the accelerated growth, it also caused them to age at an even slower rate.

Equipment[]
The unit had special edition Phase 1 armor, decorated with black and grey camouflage and test phase active camo, and a specialized visor, for clearer vision during night time operations. They carried a standard edition WESTAR M-5. Commanders and Non-Commissioned Officers would also carry either one or two DC-17 blaster pistols in their holsters. Due to their roles as Special Operations, some of them were equipped with Rocket Packs.
When the Phase 2 armor was released they had the improved Phase 2 Armor will the recently created cloaking technology, they were the only unit in the clone wars that was able to develop it to work on the armor for a while. Heavy wire was top of his class and made the armor software compatible with the cloaking tech. The Difference between the cloaking and active camo was other shadow units had variants that work more as active camo rather than cloaking. fast movement and firing, etc would make you visible where cloaking tech would not. the 228th didn't even get this hard and software until the end times of the phase 1 armors. when we got them they were glitchy but the worked perfectly with the phase 2 armors.. they were developed among the 228th themselves and kept secret. no one found out running the risk of the enemy getting ahold so they kept it among themselves, although active camo was still used among other shadow op units.
The 228th in the later stages of Phase 1 armor got access to a huge armory of weapons and equipment and vehicles.
The 228th after order 66 got access to stormtrooper armor
-Switched to Stormtrooper armor
- Went with symmetrical knee pad.
- Kept the NVG's and wrist display, but made them sleeker/less clunky looking
- Modified the logo by using what I think is the official version of Aurabesh and changing the DC-19's to E-10S's (more on that in a minute) also switched the Republic Crest to the Imperial one.
- New weapons; the E-10S which is a stockless carbine version of the E-10 Blaster with an integrated suppressor and Heartbeat Sensor and 3-round burst (since their main opponents are organic beings instead of droids). Sidearm is the SE-14S which is a scopeless supressed version of the original SE-14R that was limited to semi-automatic fire.
- With the helmet I brought back the T-visor, which is ironic since it was removed from the Republic version and hid the speaker (that black chin section). Also modified the shape of the audio sensors on the sides of the helmet.
- Changed the backpack to a portable EMP/Jammer device. It's similar to the one the Death Troopers in their armor, but it only interferes with Rebel Coms and tracking devices like short range radar and cameras. It can be controlled wirelessly via the wrist pad.
-NVG's are based design-wise on Macrobinoculars (like the ones Luke had on Tatooine).

E.R.T.[]
E.R.T. (Elite Response Training) was training many units did to an extent. It mainly included rapid drills in the early hours of the morning, random runs, and many different types of training. The 228th Black Skulls Corp did all that but added additional things. When High General Ghost or Marshal Commander Flanker gave an order the men would begin E.R.T. an order to brawl may be called out and whoever was standing close by would begin to brawl, the men would excel in hand to hand combat or take a beating until the training was called off. The men of the 228th always excelled with each brawl.

Onyx Company are trained experts in engineering, operating military systems, networks and cyber equipment. The tight knit company has its own engineers logistics and communications experts, providing the command support to commander and their headquarters.
Onyx Company is a one of a kind, being that, most Signal units operate as a regiment or corps, this isn't the case due to the nature of the 228th.

Specializations can range from Communications Operator training in radio and large communication systems, to Electronic Warfare Systems Operator, trained in intercepting and jamming enemy communications. The nature of Onyx company and their diverse role requires them to work closely with Engineering and Artillery units, whilst also providing support to intelligence units.

Operation Servitor:[]
Tasked with setting up communications arrays on the then hostile planet of Genosis Onyx Company were amongst the first to get their boots on the ground.
Whilst heavy fighting ensued, most casualties were sustained by other fighting units which provided the much needed support for the 228th to establish a HQ in which to launch operations from. The secondary objective was to relay information via communications about the location of small scale enemy units on and within the planet's atmosphere.

Trivia[]
- The 228th carried out order 66 when given the order, although they did not manage to kill their Grand General aka Ghost because when he heard the order come over the comlink he cloaked and clouded the clones minds and fled, he did not want to harm them since they were all very close. Sometime after order 66 was carried out Flanker ran into Lynx who did not obey the order, happy to see her alive and she knocked some sense into him he ordered his men to desert the Empire and go with Lynx, together with Fleet Admiral Lynx and the 228th members fled from the Empire until Lynx was murdered when Flanker wasn't around.
- The 228th after the death of Lynx came up with their own cure to their accelerated growth, unfortunately, it was a little too strong and caused them to age slower than normal, which is not what they wanted, the 228th lived into the era of the First Order but it is currently unknown what they did during that time.
- The 228th is often wrongly called a Legion and sometimes called a Squadron. The reason the creator made them a battalion, was because a legion (10,000 strong), is too big for black ops and a squadron is a starfighter squad, and still too small, but after countless battles, they did in-fact grow to a Legion and then into a Corps.
- February 28th is International 228th Day
- The 228th design was inspired by PD-Black-Dragon from DeviantArt
