Legend

this was the name used by clone commando RC-3222. In the Mandalorian language, the word atin meant stubborn, and RC-3222 lived up to this name. He was one of the many commandos who was dispatched to Geonosis during the opening battle of the Clone Wars. He was also one of the handful of commandos who saw the rest of his team killed in battle. Unfortunately, on his second mission, Atin was once again the sole survivor. Atin held a great deal of anger and personal responsibility for the deaths of so many others, despite the fact that he himself only barely survived the fighting. He was constantly reminded of their deaths by a horrible scar that ran across his face, and he refused to have it treated so that he would not forget them. This deep-seated emotion made it hard for Atin to fit in with the other commandos who were put together to form Omega Squad. Another difference was in his training, as Atin was the only member of Omega Squad to train under Walon Vau. Atin's natural skill was with weapons of any sort, and he often chose unusual weapons for missions, based on the parameters he expected to encounter. During the final stages of the mission to capture Ovolot Qail Uthan, Atin was hit with a blast from a Verpine shatter gun while carrying Uthan's unconscious body to the extraction point. The blast splattered against his armor and caused a large amount of damage, but Atin and Uthan both ultimately survived.
