Cad Bane is a ficional [[bounty hunter]] from the [[Cartoon Network]] show, [[Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008 TV series)]]. |
|||
He is a male [[Duros]] bounty hunter in operation during the [[Clone Wars]], a galaxy-wide conflict between the [[Galactic Republic]]'s [[Grand Army of the Republic]], and the [[Confederacy of Independent Systems]]'s [[droid]] army. Bane was born on the planet Duro before the Clone Wars. In it for the money, he would work for the highest bidder. |
|||
==Life== |
|||
Cad Bane was born on the planet [[Duro]] during the last decades of the [[Galactic Republic]]. He became a bounty hunter, earning a reputation as a mercenary who worked only for the financial reward of his missions. Bane worked for the highest bidder, caring little about who employed him, as long as the credits kept flowing. He had no qualms with turning on his original employer if his quarry offered him a better fee. |
|||
By the time the bounty hunter considered to be the galaxy's best, Jango Fett, who perished in 22 BBY during the [[Battle of Geonosis]], Bane was something of a veteran in his line of work. Bane was in operation by the time the Clone Wars were underway, a galaxy-wide conflict between the Galactic Republic, and the [[Confederacy of Independent Systems]], or CIS, the faction of Separatist planetary and sectorial governments seeking to leave it. With Fett out of the picture, Bane was among the galaxy's most experianced bounty hunters .However, he had enemies, and a price was placed on Bane's head. |
|||
Later working for [[Count Dooku]], Bane stole a [[holocron]] with the names of potential Force-sensitive infants and kidnapped the infants on the list. Bane brought them to the planet [[Mustafar]], where Dooku's Sith Master,[[Darth Sidious]], planned to use them for his own purposes. |
|||
==Freeing Ziro the Hutt== |
|||
During the Clone Wars, [[Ziro the Hutt]], a Hutt crime lord based on the galactic capital of [[Coruscant]], was incarcerated by the Republic in the Republic Judiciary Central Detention Center for assisting [[Sith]] Lord and Confederacy Head of State Count Dooku in a plot to kidnap Rotta, the son of his nephew [[Jabba the Hutt]]. Jabba would turn against the Republic and would be arrested, leaving Ziro to take his place as head of the Hutts. |
|||
Desperate to escape, Ziro promised Bane payment to free him. Bane agreed. To do so, the Duros would need a group of skilled bounty hunters, and he began assembling the team. The group consisted of notorious bounty hunter and Jedi killer [[Aurra Sing]], Weequay mercenary [[Shahan Alama]], and [[Robonino]], a diminutive, piscine technician. The team was backed up by two [[Separatist]] droid commandos and a number of [[IG-88]] sentinel droids, including one designated 3D. |
|||
As the organic members of Bane's team usually worked alone, Bane wanted to ensure that they could work together as a whole. Bane arranged a final test for his colleagues, and lured fellow bounty hunter Davtokk to the planet Keyorin—where the Duros had a safehouse—under the pretense that Bane was holding a recruitment drive. Bane knew that Davtokk intended to execute the bounty on his head, so he assembled a lifesize mannequin of himself, created from a scrapped battle droid. After entering the safehouse, Davtokk fired upon the mannequin, assuming it to be Bane. Robonino then detonated explosives set inside the safehouse, and caught Davtokk in a [[razor net]]. |
|||
The bounty hunter quickly escaped the net, and managed to evade the onrushing Alama with a flash grenade. From a distant perch, Sing fired her sniper rifle upon Davtokk's legs, preventing him from making any further progress. Bane, having watched the entire affair unfold, made himself known to Davtokk, explaining that it had all been arranged so as to test his new team. Bane then killed the crippled mercenary, and the team headed to Coruscant. |
|||
Bane took his "posse" to raid the [[Galactic Senate]] in order to force-free Ziro the Hutt. After Bane, Robonino, Alama, and two [[droid commandos]] landed at the Senate Building, the [[Senate Commandos]]—a branch of the guards—of the Senate, confronted Bane. Before they could arrest him, Sing fired a sniper rifle from a long-range post, and killed most of the guards. Bane killed one of the guards personally, tackling him and snapping his neck with his bare hands. The team entered the building, and Bane killed an entire group of guards with a thermal detonator. After eliminating the guard posted at the power room, as well as several droids inside, Bane left Robonino to shut off the power before entering the atrium to confront the [[Senators]]. |
|||
Entering the [[Republic Executive Building]], Bane caught the attention of the senators discussing the Enhanced Privacy Invasion Bill by firing a blaster, and the bounty hunters surrounded the Senators. When Gran Senator Philo, a [[Rodian]], objected, walking away while stating that he refused to "listen to insolence,". Bane shot him in the back. Bane ordered the Senators to turn over their communication devices, and contacted Supreme Chancellor Palpatine in his office via a holotransmission. Bane stated that if the hostages were to be freed, Ziro the Hutt must be released from prison. After Palpatine objected, Robonino shut off the power, leaving Palpatine and [[Twi'lek]] Senator [[Orn Free Taa]] trapped in the office. |
|||
As the bounty hunters collected the communication devices, Bane came across Senator Padmé Amidala. While speaking with her, Bane noticed Amidala glance at something behind him. Bane turned around and recognized [[Jedi Knight]] [[Anakin Skywalker]] surveying them from an upper level window. Bane fired at him, and Anakin fled. Bane ordered Alama and an IG-86 sentinel droid after him. Alama returned without the droid: it had been destroyed, but from examination of the droid's remains, Alama deduced that Anakin was without his lightsaber. Bane sent Alama back with Sing to find the Jedi. |
|||
Bane contacted Palpatine once more. He told the Chancellor to make a pardon disc and give it to Senator Taa, who would be picked up by Bane's ship and deliver it to the prison. Taa reluctantly obeyed, and 3D took him in the [[airspeeder]] to the prison, and collected the Hutt. Preparing to leave, Bane ordered Robonino and Alama to set up their "parting gifts" around the Senators—a [[laser web]] that would activate explosives upon the slightest touch. |
|||
Wishing the Senators a "most respectful farewell," Bane left the building with his team. Upon arriving outside on the landing platform, two [[LAAT/i gunships]] landed, and clone troopers of the [[Coruscant Guard]] piled out and cornered the team. Palpatine contacted Bane, ordering him to stand down. Bane informed the Chancellor of the trapped Senators, and Palpatine reluctantly let Bane go. Bane's airspeeder arrived, driven by 3D, and hauling Ziro in a rear transport. Bane and his team boarded the speeder, ad escaped. |
|||
Bane remotely activated the explosives. Fortunately, Anakin had recovered, and cut a hole in the floor, saving himself and the Senators. Bane then demanded his pay from the Hutt. |
|||
Bane had much less moral content than Fett, and would often turn upon the very people who hired him unless he was paid. Bane was ruthless, and unlike Jango Fett, he did not take prisoners, for he intended his Senator hostages to be killed, even after he had gone through negotiations with the Chancellor. |
|||
==Equipment== |
|||
Bane carried custom-made twin [[blaster]] pistols built from [[BlasTech]] LL-30 pistols. His breathing tubes were directly connected to his lungs, allowing him to hunt freely in different types of atmospheres without additional protection. Bane was also equipped with rocket boots and [[wrist gauntlets]], which had a variety of built-in tools and weapons, including a [[cable launcher]], [[comlink]], [[data uplink]], and non-lethal [[stunners]]. |
