Clone Trooper Torrent, or TX-828 as he was later known, was the last Clone Trooper Ever
born and raised on Kamino before the tragic day of Order 66 and the creation of the Empire by
Chancellor Palpatine. Because Torrent was part of the last batch of Clone Troopers
from the rainy world, he did not serve in the Grand Army of the Republic for long,
before being converted to a Clone Stormtrooper loyal to the Empire.
So, I’m going to break down the awesome Story of Clone Trooper Torrent and how
he may still be alive after the events of Endor, with Captain Rex and Wolffe.

In the final days of the Cloning Program on the waterworld of Kamino,
Clone Trooper Torrent was created through the standard laboratory Cloning process from
the Jango Fett Genome. Unfortunately, we don’t yet know what his Clone Production number was,
but we do know that not long into her service of the republic, on the front lines of the battle he
was given the nickname “Torrent” by his Clone brothers. Let me know down below what action
you think a Clone Would have to do to gain the nickname Torrent. Maybe he was known for
his use of heavy weaponry and always provided a Torrent of blaster fire to cover for his brothers.
Soon after Order 66 was called and almost every single Jedi Knight of the Republic
was turned on and brutally slaughtered by their Clone Troopers, the Grand Army of the Republic
was transitioned into the Imperial Army and Navy, placing every Clone Trooper who still
has the mental and physical capacity to serve, into the ranks of the Empire. Unfortunately we
still don’t know whether or not torrent executed Order 66 after receiving the Order, or even who
his Jedi General and Legion were, but I think we’ll definitely get more information on him
with the Bad Batch series which should be coming out around February or March next year. Based
on his story it’s almost certain that he gunned down his Jedi without hesitation.
Let me know right now in the comments which legion and Jedi General Torrent may have been in.
Because of his incredibly late birth on Kamino, Torrent or TX-828 as he was now called in the
ranks of the imperial army, became one of the last Clones still remaining in service of the Empire,
after many of them were phased out.
Surprisingly, Torrent had served the Empire all the way up to year 0BBY,
where he has risen through the ranks all the way up to the Sergeant. Being much more
clever and able to think outside the box than even some of the human born stormtroopers who
served alongside him, Torrent quickly joined the Imperial Security Bureau,
where he came under the service of Senior Imperial Commander Alecia Beck. Torrent and Commander Beck
were soon stationed aboard the Imperial Class Star Destroyer called, The Vehement,
where they were tasked with tracking down a Rebel special recon group called the Shrikes. The
Shrikes were led by Rebel Lieutenant Caluan Emmat, who had his men stationed on the planet Taanab.
Commander Beck and Trooper Torrent were able to rapidly track the small
squad of Rebel operatives to the planet, where they hoped to observe their actions
carefully and discover any information they could about Rebel High Command.
Shortly after this, Commander Beck and Torrent’s mission came to a screeching stop,
after hearing the devastating news that the Empire’s superweapon, the Death Star
had been destroyed by the Rebels, sending the entire Imperial command structure into severe
panic and Chaos. For a short while after the incident, nobody had clear information
on what exactly had gone down and how the Empire would move forward after such a shocking event.
Eventually however, Emperor Palpatine put an end to the confusion and panic, sending an Order from
the Imperial Palace on Coruscant, instructing all ISB officials to apprehend any suspected
sympathizers or members of the Rebel alliance, without question, interrogation or negotiation.
Following this direct Order from Palpatine, Torrent was ordered by Commander Beck
to take a small Squad of 8 stormtroopers to ambush the Shrikes at the exact moment
that they attempted to escape the planet that they were hiding out on
and take each of them prisoner for further interrogation. Torrent quickly flicked the
firm switch on his E-11 blaster rifle to stun mode, before instructing his men to the same.
Torrent’s squad quickly engaged the Shrikes in a fierce confrontation, where they were
able to capture four rebel troopers, but unfortunately let one Rodian Rebel escape.
Shockingly, this Rodian returned to the scene of the firefight after the battle,
brutally blasting all of his fellow rebel operatives with his blaster
before turning the metallic barrel on himself and pulling the trigger.
Torrent was of course shocked by this atrocity, and Commander Beck believed that he committed
this horrendous action to protect important Rebel secrets. The Leader of the Shrikes,
Caluan Ematt, did actually manage to elude Torrent’s search party, escaping off-world,
infuriating commander Beck. Because of this, she quickly Ordered Torrent to take an additional
Ten Squads from the Vehement to search the hangars of the abandoned Rebel ships nearby
and to intimidate local cantinas in hopes of finding the missing Rebel leader.
After some thorough investigation on where Lieutenant Emmat could have escaped to,
she quickly determined that he must be located on the toxic,
crime ridden planet of Cyrkon, deep inside of Hutt Space.
Once the Vehement arrived in the dodgy world, Torrent took a squad to the city of Motok,
which was the Capital of the planet. Once Torrents' squad were firmly in the center
of the city, they began sweeping the streets for Lieutenant Ematt,
eventually arriving at a local cantina. On the command of his superior officer, Torrent and
his squad lined up every single person inside the cantina, with their backs firmly against the wall,
to interrogate each of them. Torrent was even given the order to kill the Cantina patrons
if they showed even an inch of aggression or resistance against the interrogation.
As this horrific interrogation process slowly moved through each of the patrons of the Bar,
a Red Twi’Lek man bravely spoke up, saying that nobody inside of the establishment
had seen the Rebel leader. Beck of course viciously threatened the Twi’Lek in response,
asking him if he knew that Ematt was a rebel Sympathizer. After nervously responding,
saying that yes, he did have suspicions about the man, Torrent lifted his metallic blaster and
immediately gunned down the Red Twi’lek in cold blood, the horror of everyone inside the cantina.
Torrent then immediately dragged the cold body of the Twi’Lek outside,
dumping it nearby, before Commander Beck received a communication from the Captain of the Vehement,
telling her that a Corellian YT-1300 light freighter under the alias “Lost and Found”
had landed nearby to their location. I wonder who could be aboard this freighter!
Trooper torrent and Commander Beck soon realized that this light freighter landing was not simply
a coincidence, but that they were actually there to rescue the fugitive Rebel Lieutenant.
As Torrent took his 10 squads of troopers to investigate further, they encountered a large
firefight in the main plaza of the nearby space sport and very soon after, some passersby in the
crowd shouted out “they are rebels!”, before falling back into the shadows nearby. Torrent
didn’t realize that these two passersby were actually Han Solo and Chewbacca, who were being
hunted down by a group of bounty hunters, sent after them by Jabba the Hutt. Han’s quick thinking
caused Torrent to hunt down and execute the bounty hunters who were on his tail, which lead
to a massive embarrassment for Commander Beck, as when Torrent searched the bodies of the dead
bounty hunters, he found an imperial Peace-Keeping certificated, or more simply known as an official
bounty hunters license, issued by the Empire. Torrent had just killed Imperial sanctioned
bounty hunters by mistake… You can imagine, the emperor would not be too happy with this at all.
Following this Beck Orders Torrent to go undercover on the search for the fugitives
Han Solo and Chewbacca, wearing standard attire, instead of his stormtrooper armor.
As we remove his armor, we get an awesome moment between Commander Beck and the TX-828,
where Beck finally gets to see his face, realizing that he was actually a Clone from
the War for the first time. Beck asks the trooper what he was called during the war,
to which he tells her that he was named Torrent by his brothers. From here on out,
Beck changed the Trooper’s official Imperial callsign for TX-828 to simply, Torrent.
Shortly after this, Torrent boarded a swoop bike and raced through the city to chase some more
bounty hunters which in turn were chasing Han and Chewwie, who now had Lieutenant Ematt with them,
helping him to escape. Without the trio seeing, Torrent blasted the set of bounty hunters,
so that he could capture them himself and return them to his commander. Eventually,
the chase was simply too hard to maintain, and Han, Chewwie and Ematt were quickly
surrounded by Torrent and his men, where they were rounded up and searched in a very rough manner.
The pat down search however was quickly interrupted when Han pulled a blaster rifle
from seemingly nowhere, and quickly revealed that the whole chase was actually a setup on Torrent,
and was able to lure the stormtroopers to a vulnerable location in the planet’s
shield system. As the realization that he had been tricked rushed through Torrent’s
mind, Solo violently blasted the planetary shield generators nearby,
sending the incredibly dangerous and toxic hot air rushing into the building.
As the stormtroopers and Torrernt fell into a mad panic,
Solo, Chewwie and Ematt quickly rush to the Millennium Falcon,
where they are able to make a daring escape off world, and immediately jump to hyperspace.
This failed attempt at capturing the trio infuriates Torrent and Commander Beck.
As Torrent was about to leave, he looked over all of the bodies of his fallen brothers,
with a strong sense of sadness filling his mind.
So that is the story of the Last Clone Trooper Ever Born on Kamino. Thanks so much for watching,
