104th Headcannons

brothers-all:

Continuing the trend of me throwing out headcannons, I’m tackling the Wolfpack this time around. You can find some for the 501st, 112th [happy version] (Krell’s squad) and Coruscant Guards if you fancy

-They were the ones who first refereed to Plo Koon ‘General Buir’ (Buir means father in Mando’a) 

-When Plo figured out what it means, he was speechless and looked for a word to call them by: Ade, meaning children

-Everyone knows the 104th call their rookies ‘pups’ or ‘cubs’ but no one would dare say it when one of them is around

-The older soldiers all howl occasionally during battle

-When Wolffe lost his eye, everyone was worried as hell and were prepared to do anything if it’d help him stay here and not be decommissioned

-Wolffe himself was scared shitless because he believed they were going to get rid of him. During the time they waited for an answer, almost all of the 104th spend time together in case it was their last

-Instead of the usual squad code names, they divided themselves into three primary ones: Alpha, Beta and Omega

-They used to have a Rite of Passage to hunt down an animal on the nearest planet, but had to stop it because pups would want to keep what they caught

-At one point, they had over 10 different species aboard their ship before releasing them on acceptable planets

-Because they usually do the Mercy and Rescue missions, they are the second best at dealing with civilians (right after the Guards) 

-There are a few other soldiers who are accepted as part of the pack, most of them being Captains and Commanders

-The Passage for outsiders to join, is to beat Wolffe in an arm wresting match.

-Because they are one of the smallest battalions, Plo Koon has been able to distinct between each and every man through the Force

-Medics have extra knowledge in Kel Dor biology, because it’s quite different than others’ and should anything happen, they need to be ready

-They started using jet packs because there was an ongoing joke in the GAR about how ‘Wolves can’t fly’ so they did it out of spite 

-There are only a few brothers left who still remember Wolffe when he had both his eyes and would tell stories about him as the deck officer
