OOM: Season 1 ep5 "Rookies"

There are 8 Clone Troopers stationed on Rishi Outpost.

1. CT-57-327 - Zeke, stationed as the deck officer, keeping an eye out for ground invaders, sends regular updates on the lack of danger. Until, after a meteor shower falls on the station's shields, he fails to report in.

2. CT-62-42 - Thinker and

3. CT-00-2010 - Droidbait go looking him, only to run into a battalion of battle droids invading the station. Unarmed, they are only able to verbally alert their brothers within to sound the alarm.

4. Sergeant CT-09-909 O'Niner runs blasting into the invading droids, buying time for the remaining four to escape, as the droids converge on him to take him down. The droids have already disabled the beacon, however, and there is no way to alert the fleet, only to escape as Cutup destroys the door lock and Fives finds a ventilation passage down out of the station.

5. CT-56-4040 - Cutup discovers why orders were to never leave the safety of the shielded station when a giant cave eel - one of Rishi's dangerous native macrofauna, attacks him from behind and drags him screaming back into its burrow.



Fortunately, perhaps, the station was due for an inspection, and the arrival of Commander Cody and a Captain who introduces himself as Rex give the remaining troopers hope, especially with Rex's ingenious way of gaining entry, and both the experienced officers' prowess in combat, to give them control back of the base, only to see the Separatist fleet arriving.

Rishi Outpost's purpose is to alert the Republic of any incoming fleet that might attack the clones' homeworld of Kamino, but when the droids attacked, they hardwired the signal, making it impossible for Echo to just turn it off. Rex realises the only way to protect their home is to destroy the base sending the All-Clear and Echo realises that they can use the liquid tibanna heating fuel in order to blow the entire station, alerting the Republic to the danger. 

Fives, Echo and Cody defend the base from another wave of droids as Rex and Hevy set up the explosives and the detonator. Fives leads them out through the same vent shaft, only to discover that the remote detonator had malfunctioned and...


6. CT-32-782 - Hevy stays behind, detonating the LT, destroying the base, and giving his life in order to alert the Republic Fleet that the sector is under attack.









Of the eight men manning Rishi Station, of the five cadets in Domino Squad, only Fives and Echo remain.
