Commander Levet or Commander Tactful as he was also called, was a Clone Commander who
served as the regimental leader of the 35th infantry during the Clone Wars.
Commander Levet served under Jedi General Etain Tur-Mukan during the war, and was deployed
at many extremely gruesome and bloody battles throughout the war.
So I’m going to break down exactly who Commander Levet was and why he deserted the Grand army
of the Republic to become a farmer.

Just like every other Clone Trooper, Commander Levet was born on Kamino in the year 32BBY
and took the name Levet during his training under the Mandalorian warriors while there.
After displaying incredible bravery and fortitude during his training with the Mandalorians,
he was selected for a specialized training program, which would eventually allow him
to progress to the rank of Regimental Commander.
After graduating from the gruelling training on the rainy world of Kamino, he was selected
by the Jedi High council to be placed in charge of the 35th infantry under the leadership
of General Etain Tur-Makan.
Shortly after being released from Kamino, he was deployed to the battle of Qiilura with
General Tur-Mukan, leading the 35th infantry into the fierce conflict.
His main objective on the planet was to ensure that the civilians were safely and quickly
evacuated off-world, fulfilling a promise made to the local creatures there prior.
Unfortunately, the human civilians on the planet were absolutely disgusted that a distant
military power like the Republic had arrived on their world and forced them to leave their
homes and property, staging a massive resistance against the Clone troopers.
Because of this, most of the Human colonists on the planet refused to leave, and Commander
Levet was forced to use the full power of the 35th infantry on the local population,
holding them with cold, metallic blasters up against their heads, fingers on the triggers,
forcing them to leave the planet.
Now this move from the Republic was of course unbelievably controversial, so let me know
in the comments how you feel about the Republic forcing colonists to evacuate a planet with
blasters pointed to their heads.
It’s certainly not the Jedi way, but General Tur-Makan was forced to do this because of
orders given to her by Republic high command, So let me know down below.
The human civilians of course retaliated harsly, resulting in the deaths of many of Commander
Levet’s men, including the injuries of Troopers Ven and Bek.
Ven was operating an E-Web heavy repeating blaster, but was wounded when a human civilian
hit him with an artillery round, horrifically damaging his flesh.
Commander Levet found Ven lying unconscious near his turret and tried to resuscitate him,
without success.
Although Levet and his brothers could not find a pulse on the trooper, thankfully General
Tur-Mukan was able to sense his life energy through the force, allowing him to be sent
to medical care swiftly, saving his life.
Such a tragic near death story, I’m really glad he made it through.
Following this, General Etain Tur-Mukan continued to assist in the forced evacuation of the
planet, and did manage to get many of the Human civilians off-world, but killed many
of them during the process, because she felt that the deaths of her men weren’t justified.
Again this is a very grey area, so let me know down below how you feel about the Jedi
General coming to a planet and killing civilians, despite them not wanting to leave.
Fortunately, Levet and General Tur-Mukan were eventually able to complete the evacuation
of Qiilura and sustained no more casualties on either side, marking a somewhat successful
mission, with some very big skeletons in the closet for both sides.
Following the bloody mission on Qiilura, Commander Levet and his 35th Infantry were swiftly moved
to the Battle of Gaftikar, where they were deployed to assist A’Den Skirata and the
Omega squad to help gain control of the system and capture the city of Eyat from the separatists.
While there ARC Trooper Sull was deployed to the Gafatar system to help train the local
Rebel forces on the planet, along with Commander Levet.
This system allowed Sull and the 35th to pass their training down through hundreds of thousands
of rebel fighters on Gaftikar in an extremely short time, rapidly preparing them for the
increasing threat of the separatists.
Shortly after implementing the program however, Sull went missing on the planet being thought
to have deserted the Grand Army.
Because of this, the Republic disgustingly sent two Covert Operations troopers to the
planet to assassinate ARC trooper Sull for his betrayal.
Once word of his disappearance reached Commander Levet and the Omega Squad on the planet, they
quickly dispatched Darman to search Sull’s apartment, where he encountered the two Cover
Operations Troopers, who believed that he was Sull, leading them to try to assassinate
him.
This action absolutely disgusted Darman, who was furious that the Republic would send Clones
to Kill their own brothers.
Following this shocking revelation, Levet and the 35th stayed focussed on their mission
to capture the system and continued with their objective.
I have a full video on the shocking Clone Covert Operations troopers on the channel,
so make sure you click the card on screen now if you want to see that.
Eventually, Fi of the OMega squad was injured, and one of Commander Levet’s men, Sergeant
Tel, was able to assist him in getting urgent medical attention, forming a very close relationship
between the Omega Squad and Levet.
Eventually, the combined forces of the two were successful in defeating the separatist
forces on Gaftikar, leaving minimal casualties for the Republic.
Following this, the tragic day of Order 66 took place and instead of choosing to obey
the horrific order, Commander Levet decided to desert the grand of the Republic.
Levet quickly contacted freighter pilot, Nyreen vollen, who he discovered was smuggling rogue
Clones out of the Grand Army of the Republic, to Kyrimorut, a location on Mandalore which
was the home to Clan Skirata.
Nyreen Vollen was also able to smuggle the body of Commander Levet’s fallen Jedi General
Etain Tur-Mukan, after she died attempting to save a Clone Troopers life, after jumping
between him and a panicking Jedi Padawn’s lightsaber blade, severing her spine and brutally
killing her instantly.
Many of the Skirata Clan were left in tears after her death and some on the verge of madness,
because of the deep connection that they had with her, including the fact that Darman and
Tur-Mukan had a child together, called Venku.
Not long after, Levet and the Yayax squad, who I also have a video on which is in a card
on screen, joined the Skirata community on Mandalore and undertook numerous jobs like
carpentry and farming.
Levet himself loved farming, and absolutely loved the open space that was provided at
their new home, free from fighting, conflict and battle.
Commander Levet and the Yayax squad were able to understand farming and carpentry because
of the numerous books that they had read, helping them to truly hone their skills.
Eventually, Commander Levet along with the Yayax squad became the primary food and supply
providers to the clan Skirata community, living a prosperous life.
Levet was actually able to start his own farmstead in the Skirata community, further increasing
their productivity and living the life that he truly enjoyed.
The Skirata farming settlement was located in the dense veshok forests of Mandalore's
northern hemisphere, which was surrounded by vast tall, green tees and wide blue lakes.
The remote settlement also became the home to two Jedi fugitives, Padawan Tallisibeth
Scout and an extremely rare, Kaminoan Jedi Master, Kina Ha.
Kina Ha lacked the hatred for imperfection that was typical in her species, allowing
her to look past the flaws of many.
Because she was the only force user of her entire race, she was also considered to be
a severe threat by the scientists of her dark, rainy world, leading her to leave the planet,
rather than face the constant hostility.
By the end of the Clone wars, she had shockingly already been living for over 3,000 years,
seeing many events like the Mandalorian Wars and the Jedi Civil War.
The Mandalorians and Clones that lived with Kina Ha after Order 66, saw her as an ancient
lady of royalty and was stunned that she went against what most Kaminoans were like.
While most Kaminoans can only tolerate water worlds with very dark skies and almost no
sun, Kina Ha absolutely loved the sun and sat outdoors with the rest of Clan Skirata
at their remote location.
But… she did have to war a cap at all times outdoors.
Unlike the rest of her species, she was also known to have a sense of humour.
That is the full story of Commander Levet, the Clone Commander who fought through many
of the Wars' most gruesome battles, eventually going on to work with Clan Skirata as a farmer.
Let me know down below if you’re happy that the Clone Commandos of the Yayax Squad and
Levet were able to find peace after the war, instead of being forced to continue serving
for the imperial military.
