"The Wolfpack is ready foranything."

―Commander Wolffe^[12]

The104th Battalion, also known as the "Wolf Pack"Battalion, or theWolfpack Battalion, was aclone trooper military battalion of theGrand Army of the Republic. The 104th was led byJedi General Plo Koon andClone Commander Wolffe throughout theClone Wars. A subunit of the battalion was the similarly nicknamedWolfpack squad.

Description[]

The 104th Battalion customized their armor with special unit markings and grey-black patterns.

Before the end of theMalevolence Campaign,clone troopers of 104thBattalion—a subdivision of theGrand Army of the Republic—could be distinguished by themaroon markings on theirPhase I clone trooper armor. With so many of the battalion'sclones lost during theBattle of Abregado,^[3] clonetroopers of the battalion later changed to a color scheme of flint grey^[6]^[10] or blue-grey as a way to honor those lost atAbregado.^[13] One subunit of the 104th was the eliteWolfpack^[14]squad.^[15]

Thecommanding officer of the battalion wasJedi General Plo Koon,^[3] who also flew under thecallsign Wolf Leader.^[2] The second-in-command wasClone Commander Wolffe.^[3] Members of the battalion includedClone Sergeant Sinker,Clone Corporal Comet,^[6] clone troopersBoost,^[10]Wildfire,^[16] andUmbra,^[17] andclone pilots Warthog^[6] andCorvis.^[12] The ranks of the 104th Battalion consisted of standard clone troopers,clone trooper officers,^[5] clone pilots,^[6]clone sharpshooters, andheavy weapons clone troopers.^[5]

History[]

Mission to Quarmendy[]

The 104th Battalion's Wolfpack squad fought on the Nexus during the early days of the Clone Wars.

Early on in theClone Wars,General Koon sentCommander Wolffe and three Wolfpack troopers, Boost,Sergeant Sinker, andCorporal Comet on amission to theNexus, a floatingcity and trading outpost located on theplanet Quarmendy, famous for its elaborate defense systems, which was captured bySeparatist forces led byEmir Wat Tambor.^[12]

UsingJT-12 jetpacks andgrappling hooks attached to theirDC-15A blaster carbines, thesquad scaled the wall, while being shot at by the city's defense system and Tambor'sD1-series aerial battle droids. The clones were able to reach the top of the wall without suffering a single casualty.^[12]

However, when Tambor's forces were breached by their incursion, he destroyed the city as to not allow it to be controlled by theGalactic Republic. Before the destruction, the clones were able to rescue a hostage, the city'scustodian,Orkle. Despite the loss, Koon showed gratitude to Wolffe for making sure all of them survived and for rescuing Orkle.^[12] At least one member of the battalion also took part in themission on Krystar, helping to free captured clones from asecret compound.^[18] Clone troopersWildfire andUmbra also served in the 104th. At some point, their squad was left stranded on theplanet Felucia for amonth, during which time they ateinsects to survive.^[17]

Siege of Hisseen[]

Sometime later after the missions to Quarmendy^[12] and Krystar,^[18] Wolffe, Koon, and the Wolfpack were sent as part of the Republic'ssiege of Hisseen alongsideJedi GeneralsAnakin Skywalker andObi-Wan Kenobi and their clone commanders, Clone CommanderCody andClone Captain Rex.^[8]

When the Jedi were drawn away from the battle to confrontCount Dooku and hisSith apprentice Asajj Ventress, Koon attempted to contact Wolffe, but his communication was obstructed by the mountain range. After Wolffe only heard garbled instructions about theHisseenian parliament, Koon instead sent coordinates to Boost, and Wolffe deduced that they were being sent to rescue the parliament members. Leading the charge,^[12] the Wolfpack attacked the droids while again fighting side-by-side with members of the 212th. They were able to successfully rescue the parliament members.^[18]

However, as soon as they arrived back, they were ambushed by Count Dooku's forces, and were about to be takenprisoner, when Jedi Generals Plo Koon, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Anakin Skywalker arrived and rescued the clones. The Republic was able to win the siege ofHisseen.^[19]

RisingMalevolence[]

"We're picking up a large energy reading from the target, sir."
"Open fire!"
"We're not in range yet, sir."

―Wolffe and Plo Koon^[3]

Sinker was a member of the Wolfpack part of the 104th Battalion.

As numerousRepublic fleets were destroyed due to aSubjugator-class heavy cruiser, theMalevolence, Jedi General Plo Koon aboard theTriumphant and hisfleet ofVenator-class Star Destroyers were sent to hunt down the then-unknownsuperweapon. The 104th Battalion managed to track theship to theAbregado system, where they discovered it was, in fact, aSubjugator-classheavy cruiser with anion cannon.^[3]

Before thefleet could call for reinforcements, they lost contact with the Republic. Plo Koon ordered Clone Commander Wolffe to open fire at theMalevolence, but Wolffe informed him that they were out of range. However, theMalevolence had already fired its ioncannon which then hit the fleet. With no power, the fleet was now vulnerable to be destroyed, and theMalevolence opened fire with itslaser cannons, destroying the entire fleet. Koon ordered histroops to get to theRepublic escape pods before their ships were obliterated.^[3]

When the fleet was destroyed, theMalevolence launched aDroch-class boarding ship, also known as a hunter, to search and destroy the remainingescape pods. At the sametime, Anakin Skywalker andAhsoka Tano, searching for survivors, arrived in thefreighterTwilight. Meanwhile, the hunter had found Plo Koon's escape pod and went to take them out. Due to Koon'santiox breath mask, and theoxygen system built into the clone troopers'armor, Koon, Clone Sergeant Sinker, and Boost managed to get out of the escape pod and intospace while Commander Wolffe kept the pod's signal alive. Koon and histroops fought off theB1-series rocket battle droids that were carried in the hunter and were then rescued by Skywalker and Tano. They managed to get away from theMalevolence and reported their discovery to theJedi High Council.^[3] Koon would later helpShadow Squadron severely damage the Separatistsuperweapon during theBattle of the Kaliida Nebula^[20] and was present to watch as theMalevolence was finally destroyed.^[21]

Battle of Khorm[]

Sometime later, the 104th Battalion's ranks were replenished with new troopers, and the battalion participated in theBattle of Khorm,^[9] where they fought alongside Anakin Skywalker.^[22] During the fighting, Wolffe was permanently scarred when Asajj Ventress cut his righteye, leaving a long scar across the right side of his face.^[9] He later had a silvercybernetic replacement installed.^[6] Despite his injury, Wolffe continued to serve and lead his troops.^[9]

First Battle of Felucia[]

Warthog flew for the 104th Battalion during the Battle of Felucia.

Following the Battle ofKhorm,^[9] the Wolfpack and Koon were deployed on theNegotiator, aVenator-classStar Destroyer, to break theConfederacy navy's blockade of the planetFelucia, and participated in the First Battle of Felucia. The Republic forces, led by Jedi GeneralsObi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, andJedi Commander Ahsoka Tano, had been overwhelmed by thedroid army, so Koon led a group ofLow Altitude Assault Transport/infantry gunships andV-19 Torrent starfighters through the blockade to rescue Skywalker and his troops, while Wolffe oversaw the space battle against the Separatistbattleships andstarfighters. Wolffe directed theclone gunners to target and destroy the ConfederateMunificent-class star frigates. Meanwhile, Koon and the rest of the Wolfpack extracted Skywalker, Tano, Kenobi, and the clone soldiers and brought them to safety aboard theNegotiator. They then returned toCoruscant, having completed the rescue mission.^[6]

At some point after the First Battle of Felucia, where the maroon-colored markings had still been part of 104th armor,^[6] the legion shifted to a grey-based coloration in memory of those lost in the Battle of Abregado.^[13] Following Grievous'scapture of the JediEeth Koth, Wolffe discovered a coded message from Koth that told him that Grievous was heading to the planetSaleucami.^[23]

Rescue on Vanqor[]

"It's Anakin's droid, R2-D2."
"Well, R2-D2, transmit the message you so obviously need to communicate."

―Ahsoka Tano and Plo Koon^[10]

The Wolfpack traveled on gunships to Vanqor to rescue Jedi Generals Mace Windu and Anakin Skywalker.

When an attempt on the life ofMace Windu by a youngBoba Fett failed, theVenator-class StarDestroyerEndurance was forced to crash over the planetVanqor. However,R2-D2 managed to escape from Vanqor and came to the Jedi Council and showed them the hologram of Skywalker and Windu inside the wreckedEndurance. Plo Koon, Ahsoka Tano, and the Wolfpack were dispatched to the planet to retrieve them. They came down inspace gunships to get Skywalker and Windu out of the destroyedbridge. While Koon and Tano usedthe Force to hold the collapsing bridge steady, Wolffe and Comet jumped in and got Windu and Skywalker onto the gunship.^[10]

Citadel rescue[]

"I believe you have worn out your welcome!"

―Plo Koon, to the rescue team on Lola Sayu^[24]

A Republic rescue team was rescued on Lola Sayu by Plo Koon's 104th Battalion.

When it was confirmed to the Jedi that Kenobi and Skywalker could not get offLola Sayu withEven Piell and his men,Saesee Tiin, Plo Koon,Adi Gallia, andKit Fisto went to theprison planet to extract them. They gave Kenobi and the rescue team the coordinates to a small island that would act as an evac-zone. As the rescue team made its way to the evac-zone, a fleet of four Republiccruisers engaged the Separatist blockade. General Koon and Commander Wolffe went down with a gunship escorted by Fisto, Gallia, and Tiin in theirJedi starfighters. When the gunship reached the ground, they managed to get all the survivors onto the gunship and got back to the fleet.^[24]

Return to Felucia[]

"Artillery, open fire!"

―Plo Koon^[4]

The leaders of the 104th and the 501st coordinated their attack strategy upon the return of Republic forces to Felucia.

During theSecond Battle of Felucia the 104th Battalion, along with the501st Legion, returned to Felucia to make a night assault on one of General Grievous' outposts in the system. Anakin Skywalker and CloneCaptain Rex were leading a diversion on the front gate while Ahsoka Tano, Comet, Sinker, and Boost scaled the back wall. Plo Koon, Wolffe, and their team usedjetpacks to fly over the sidewall and surprise attack the enemy inside. After the battle, they realized Tano was missing. The rest of the night they spent searching for her, until the next morning when they left thesystem.^[4]

Mercy mission on Aleen[]

"Look! Here's how it is: my orders are to deliver supplies and re-establish power and communication systems. Report back to the transport the moment that the R2 unit has completed the download."

―Wolffe, to C-3PO^[25]

The Plo's Bros gunships brought the Wolfpack Aleen where they conducted a mission of mercy to help the Aleena. — ThePlo's Bros gunships brought the Wolfpack Aleen where they conducted a mission of mercy to help the Aleena.

Aleen was a planet hit by naturalearthquakes which had killed many civilians and left their cities in ruins. The 104th Battalion was dispatched to help them rebuild under orders ofSenator Padmé Amidala andGrand Master Yoda to give them bothfood and medical supplies. Theastromech droid R2-D2 went with them to help reestablish power, and theprotocol droid C-3PO went with them to help the clones communicate with the nativeAleena. During their mission C-3PO and R2-D2 disappeared underground, so Commander Wolffe was unable to communicate with the Aleena without C-3PO to help translate. The two droids discovered the source of the earthquakes. Thetree-likealien species Kindalo, who lived in the subterraneancaves beneath the surface of Aleen, had been angered because the surface-dwelling Aleena had dug too deep and disturbed them. The two droids were then able to negotiate with them, and came to the surface in time to regroup with the 104th as they left the planet.^[25]

Rescuing Adi Gallia[]

After regrouping with Plo Koon's fleet, the 104th Battalion was deployed tofree Adi Gallia from General Grievous'dreadnought following Gallia's capture in theBattle of Patitite Pattuna. Koon and his forces successfully boarded the dreadnought and liberated Gallia, though Grievous fled the battle.^[11]

Battle of Kadavo[]

The 104th was part of a Republic strike force that rescued a group of Togruta slaves as well several Jedi and clone officers.

In a mission to rescueenslaved Togruta fromZygerrian enslavers, Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi and Clone Captain Rex were captured. Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano launched arescue operation on the planetKadavo, which was where the slaves were being transferred. Arriving in theYV-865Aurore-class freighterTecora, the two Jedi called for reinforcements, in the form of the Wolfpack. As part of afleet led by Plo Koon andAdmiral Barton Coburn, members of the Wolfpack launched a strike force that contained consisted of LAAT/i gunships andclone Z-95 starfighters. The force attempted to break through, but they could not, on account of theray shield over the facility. Skywalker, however, was able to destroy the ray shield while Kenobi and Rex rebelled and killed the ZygerrianKeeper Argus. The strike force then successfully extracted Obi-Wan, Anakin, Ahsoka, Rex, and the slaves, and then destroyed the facility.^[2]

Investigation on Oba Diah's moon[]

"The hull shows substantial scoring and wear. Whenever it crashed, it wasn't recently. General Plo, the scans check out. It's a T-6 shuttle, all right, serial number 775519."

―Wolffe, to Plo Koon^[7]

Koon and the 104th recovered the missing lightsaber of the late Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas.

When theJedi Temple received adistress signal from theJedi T-6 shuttle 775519, Koon, Wolffe, and the 104th Battalion were sent to themoon ofOba Diah to investigate. The 104th Battalion landed on the surface and discovered theT-6 shuttle's crash site. Inside, Koon and Wolffe discovered alightsaber that had belonged toJedi Master Sifo-Dyas. Koon ordered theshuttle to be taken back to Coruscant.^[7]

Imperial Era[]

"Hey, Wolffe. Can you believe it?"
"What?"
"The wolves! You got your Wolfpack back!"
"Yeah. They fight just like the boys."

―Gregor and Wolffe, referring to the Loth-wolves — 20?cb=20250116042720

Wolffe continued to wear parts of his 104th clone trooper armor years after the Clone Wars ended.

The Clone Wars ended shortly afterSupreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine revealed himself as theDark Lord of the Sith Darth Sidious and issuedOrder 66,^[27] which forced the clone troopers to turn on and kill their Jediofficers viacontrol chips implanted in theirbrains.^[28] Wolffe had his chip removed at some point,^[29] and by4 BBY,^[30] he was living in aconverted All Terrain Tactical Enforcer on the planetSeelos with Captain Rex and the formerclone commando Gregor, who had also removed their chips, when theSpectres arrived, having been sent in search of Rex by Ahsoka Tano.^[29]

Rex left with the Spectres to join the rebellion,^[31] but Wolffe and Gregor stayed on Seelos in their new home,Joopa Base.^[32] Trooper Wildfire had also found his way into the ranks of the Rebellion and learned that Woffle was one of their allies, resulting in him joining themission to Seelos.^[16] A fewyears after Rex joined, Gregor and Wolffe were recruited to assist in theliberation of the planetLothal from theGalactic Empire.^[26] During the operation, JediPadawan Ezra Bridger recruited the assistance of Lothal's nativeLoth-wolves, creatures with a strong connection to the Force. After Gregor quipped that Wolffe had his "wolfpack" back, Wolffe admitted that the creatures fought much like the "boys" of his old unit.^[32]
