History


By the time of the third battle of the Outer Rim planet Mygeeto, which took place around 19 BBY as part of the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems, Mandalorian Protector Fenn Rau served as Skull Leader. During the battle, he led his squadron against battle droids.

Over the course of two minutes, Rau and his squad wiped out a force of B1 battle droids in the Southern Mesas to save Jedi General Depa Billaba, Jedi Commander Caleb Dume, Clone Captain "Styles," and clone trooper Stance. Rau hoped their actions would showcase there were still Mandalorians with obligations and honor, departing with the rest of the squadron after their attack, so Dume was unable to thank the Skull Leader. At another point, Skull Leader Rau flew his Fang fighter through a volcanic environment. Later, Rau came to view his actions as only occurring because he had been young and idealistic, although Dume, having since changed his name to "Kanan Jarrus," finally met him in 3 BBY on the third moon of the Outer Rim planet Concord Dawn, recalling his actions during the Clone Wars.
