Delta Squad

Delta Squad is the designation of a group of fictional specialized clones, in George Lucas's science fiction saga Star Wars. They first appeared in the video game Star Wars: Republic Commando and later were seen in the novel Triple Zero. The game introduces the squad as highly trained clone troopers of the Clone Army. The group consists of four enhanced clones who, like all members of the clone army, are clones of bounty hunter Jango Fett. Each member has a distinct personality, regardless of their identical DNA, which allows for specialization amongst the group. Each clone is designated 'Republic Commando' followed by a serial number (RC-****), and are often called by their last two digits.

[edit] Members

  • RC-1262 (known as Scorch), is one of the main protagonists in the game Star Wars: Republic Commando. He was known for his demolitions skills. He is shown having a jocular sense of humor, a fact he speculates on during idle moments of Delta's missions, often providing amusing anecdotes. He received the nickname "Scorch" after an ordnance accident that left him without eyebrows for a short time.
  • RC-1207 (known as Sev) is one of the main protagonists in the game Star Wars: Republic Commando. He is Delta Squad's hunter and sniper. He was trained by Mandalorian Sergeant Walon Vau. He has a deep and menacing growl of a voice, as well as a grim and sadistic sense of humor, and often jokes with "Scorch" before and during missions; this leads to a unique bond within the squad. At the end of Star Wars: Republic Commando Sev does not make the rendezvous and the squad manages to grab a last transmission from him, in which he says that he is under heavy attack. He is declared Missing In Action ("M.I.A."), though his ultimate fate is uncertain.
  • RC-1140 (known as Fixer) is one of the main protagonists in the game Star Wars: Republic Commando. He is the hacker and technical expert of Delta Squad. His nickname is "Fixer", although he will never refer to himself, or any other clone, by their nickname. A complete by-the-book clone, he is more distant than his brothers.

[edit] Combat

Throughout the course of Star Wars: Republic Commando, Delta Squad fights on Geonosis, the RAS Prosecutor, and Kashyyyk. They are inserted covertly on Geonosis in order to assassinate Geonosian chief lieutenant Sun Fac. After this mission is complete, they move on to disable a droid construction facility, and obtain the launch codes for the entire CIS core ship fleet, escaping mere seconds before the ship is destroyed. Just over one year later, Delta Squad is assigned to investigate the remains of the RAS Prosecutor, a Republic ship that has been taken over by Trandoshans. Delta Squad splits up and despite setbacks is able to complete their mission. The next known mission takes place on Kashyyyk, where Delta Squad rescues the Wookie leader Tarfful, and assists the Republic in its initial defense of the planet Kashyyyk.

[edit] Merchandise

In early 2007 a seven-figure pack was released which contained the Scorch figure along with his fellow members of Delta Squad and three Geonosians. In the upcoming Star Wars Miniatures game from Wizards of the coast, Delta Squad will also be featured in the "Champions of The Force".
