Time has been no ally of the once-great Republic.
When the Gulag Virus was unleashed upon the galaxy, it was the Republic who took the immediate blow, for the deadly plague was released within the Core Worlds. Countless millions perished, and as the Four Hundred Years of Darkness ensued, the Republic would wither to nothing more than a shadow of its former glory. Now, several centuries later, there are those within the Galactic Senate whom long for the Republic to ascend to its former might. There are those who seek to return to the pinnacle of galactic dominance through any means necessary. Yet, even with the support of the Jedi Order, without a formidable standing military the Republic would fare very ill against the powerful factions rising all across the galaxy.
And so, out of a desperate longing for power, a duo of Senators sought to walk in the footsteps of their predecessors and create a powerful army from nothing. They commissioned a covert cloning operation upon the planet Arkania, re-opening the closed down facilities in order to create the militant force they so hungrily craved. Over the course of the following months, the maturing clones numbered in the thousands and would enter into the service of the Republic in less than a year.
It is a rather funny fact how success brings out the boastful side in even the most humble of individuals, and so the secret was leaked directly into the ears of a Mandalorian intelligence operative (whom was cleverly masquerading as a rather spunky secretary.) After the fat, loathsome politician spilled the beans, attempting to impress her and score some office debauchery, the operative promptly excused herself and relayed all that she had discovered directly to Mandalore. An order was soon issued by the high command at that point, commissioning the utter decimation of the cloning facility...and an added bonus for quelling the sordid politician...Enter Isley Verd, a headstrong Initiate of Mandalore. He enthusiastically volunteered for the mission and set off immediately for Republic space.
Upon exiting Hyperspace, Isley made a heading for the planet's surface. He relied upon his onboard computers to conjure up necessary credentials to land in such close proximity to the cloning facility, and once cleared, touched down upon the landing pad. Before disembarking, he took a moment to send a transmission to his senior, the Blooded Mandalorian known as Halik, detailing his intentions. To be perfectly honest, he rambled for a few moments about a few strategies he had in mind before concluding with: "I do this, as with all else, for the glory of Mandalore." With that said, the young warrior exited his ship and stepped along the platform, heading towards the facility's entrance.
