Heke, otherwise otherwise as A-49, was an ARC Trooper.[1]
Biography
Heke developed something of a reputation. It was said by one clone that he punched his Jedi General, and another corrected that the victim was a naval officer who was the son of a Senator, and that Heke broke the man's jaw.[1]
In 32 ABG (965 days ABG), Heke was deployed to reinforce the Siege of Saleucami alongside Maze, and he flew with Cobalt Team Larty Crew.[1] His gunship crashed inside Sagujeru, but he survived and had the idea to use its ejector seat to get atop a building, inside of which the Separatists had their gun emplacements, that they were using to kill off the survivors.[1] Leaving the injured Wake on the roof, Heke and Lock cleared the building, defeating multiple Morgukai before the rest of the clones arrived.[1]
They hijacked an MTT that they used to flee the scene unnoticed along with their wounded, and they headed for the municipal power substation that was their original target.[1] There, he and Tihaar Squad introduced a bug that nearly overloaded the entire system, but Hajir Ravaal noticed what was happening and issued a reboot to prevent Heke's bug from destroying the military reactors.[1]
Thus, Heke and the commandos returned to the MTT, where they enacted Plan B: a direct assault on the magma reactor itself. He and the other commandos fought their way inside, destroying at least one Droideka and making their way past several scared Ugnaught technicians.[1] They also defeated a group of Morgukai sent after them, though either Ge'verd or Jatne was killed in the combat. One of the last Morgukai, Ogdai, flooded one of the reactors with lava in an attempt to trigger and automatic lockdown. This failed due to the sacrifice of the other dead commando (Ge'verd or Jatne), who wedged his wounded body into a doorway to keep it open. The subsequent flood of lava into the chamber him while also disabling the shield and rendering the city without power.[1]
He then escaped with Resol and Solus.[1]
Personality and Traits
Heke was seen as eccentric even compared to other ARCs, but dependable. He was also fond of smoking cigarrras, despite Maze's criticisms.[1]
