|ShortSummary = [[Clone Force 99]], also known as "The Bad Batch", includes defective [[clone troopers]] Hunter, Tech, Crosshair, and Wrecker plus cyborg clone [[Clone trooper#ARC Corporal Echo|Echo]]. During the [[Clone Wars (Star Wars)|Clone Wars]], the Bad Batch assists [[Jedi Master]] [[Depa Billaba]] and her [[Padawan (Star Wars)|Padawan]] learner [[Caleb Dume]] on Kaller. [[Order 66 (Star Wars)|Order 66]] is issued, triggering programming in the regular clones that makes them kill Billaba. The Bad Batch receives the order too, but only Crosshair feels compelled to obey it and Hunter lets Dume escape. Returning to the clone facilities on [[Kamino (Star Wars)|Kamino]], the Bad Batch learns that the war is over and an [[Galactic Empire (Star Wars)|Empire]] has replaced the [[Galactic Republic]]. They meet a young girl, Omega, who is another defective clone. [[Grand Moff Tarkin|Admiral Tarkin]] arrives to evaluate the clones and sends the Bad Batch to eliminate insurgents on [[Onderon]]. When they discover that these "insurgents" are refugees under [[Saw Gerrera]] who refuse to submit to the new Empire, the Bad Batch abandons the mission and returns for Omega. They are arrested for treason and Tarkin enhances Crosshair's programming, turning him against his squad. The rest of the Bad Batch flee with Omega.

Omega has a datapad from the facility that could give them some answers, and Crosshair suggests they access it with an Imperial computer terminal at the outpost on Barton IV.
