    Slight correction. Jek Kardan was Havoc squad’s CO before Tavus. Kardan was in command of Havoc squad during the mission to Ando Prime, and then left when he found out the reason he and the rest of the squad didn’t get any reinforcements. Tavus took command of the squad since then before Meteor(the player’s trooper) arrived on Ord Mantell

    Interesting that I've never heard of Dorjander Kace until now. Although the backstory of the Darksaber with Tarre Vizsla is only Disney canon, there is certainly an interesting parallel between the 2 characters: presumably the 1st Jedi to be a Mandalorian vs the 1st Mandalorian to become a Jedi.
    Although I thought they'd be contradictory from how Kace existed millenia before the New Sith Wars, Tarre Vizsla is noted to being important because he was the 1st Mandalorian to be inducted into the Jedi Order rather than the 1st Jedi-Mandalorian as a whole.
    It's quite the interesting narrative even if they don't go together since they're technically from different canons.

    First, a Geetsly video on a Monday that is highly unsual.
    Second, Pers Pradeux: A guy who had good reasons to turn traitor and was a true hero of the Republic by seeing it had gone bad and to save it he had to defect to help restore it, Rex and the rest of the Clones in the Clone Rebellion would be proud.
    Dorjander Kace: Definitly harder to pin down, I'm loyal to the Galactic Republic, but I do acknolwege its faults even so I don't think turning traitor is the right course unless its because the Republic is under the control of the Paesdaya or its become the Empire, however, he made some good points about the Mandalorians becoming a force for good as we've seen in many of the recent shows how they have grown and become better and heroes now, so I'd say it all balances out and hes neutral.
    Admiral Karath: Him not wanting to lose everything he had worked for is understanable, he didn't want to go back to poverty much like Kishbog later down the list who only joined the Republic as a job to get paid to support himself. However, he did many horrible things after defecting making him truly evil. The first evil traitor on this list.
    Harron Tavus: Understandable reasons for defecting, he was betrayed first and loyalty is a two way street so if one party betrays you then you have every right to be disloyal because they are not worthy of your loyalty because they didn't show you loyaly. To quote Crosshair in the unfinished versions of the four part Bad Batch episodes from Star Wars the Clone Wars; "I wouldn't be too loyal if I was left for dead." However, it wasn't the Republic itself that betrayed him it was General Gaza who sent them on an unsanctioned mission without telling them and thus the Republic couldn't get involved, so he and the rest of Havoc Squad shouldn't have betrayed the Republic itself and even if they did they really shouldn't have joined the Sith. Once again it balances out like with Dorjander so I'll call them neutral too.
    Spar: You put it best, he was a troubled guy, not good or evil, so against I'll call him neutral.
    Ghost and Kishbog: Both had understandable reasons for wanting to leave, however, much like Slick they didn't go about it the right way. Frist off, killing the Clones was not okay, much like Slick putting his brothers in greater danger by sabtaging the operation on Christosis, if they want to leave thats fine but don't put others who want to remain loyal in danger just so you can get out. And the bigger issue is they were also going to sacrifice innocent civilains. So these two are also evil traitors.
    So thats one good guy traitor, three evil traitors, and three neutral traitors.

      @theevildrummingsithlord1492 6 днів тому +1

      I honestly think Tavus defecting was not justified at all. The Republic, despite being absolutely incompetent (although militarily it's still very impressive, especially compared to canon NR), is still objectively the moral faction. Even though Havoc got "swept aside" at Ando Prime (I haven't played the Trooper story in forever, but what I'm seeing is that it was probably an unsanctioned mission that the Senate simply couldn't help with), they would've been treated way worse by the Sith Empire, where one small misstep means Tavus and his team get instantly killed by a particularly unhappy Sith.
      I remember that in the X-Wing series, Rogue Squadron resigned their commissions to go after Ysanne Isard because they were frustrated at the New Republic ignoring her threat. Havoc should've done something like that - fight their own private war against the Empire

      I didnt know you had to agree with the imperium to be a Warhammer fan, The imperials are not good guys and the emperor is an evil entity that took over mankind instead of helping to prevent its fall to begin with...those are the facts, natural humanity does not exist in 40k, every self dependent human civilization has been eradicated by the imperium during the great crusade, what is left isn't "us" it's a religious hivemind of slaves who are inherently separate from our humanity and even the original Warhammer humanity during the golden and dark age.
      The interex are far closer to us than the imperium.
      We're no more similar to the imperials than to the orks or eldar.

    I couldn't sympathize with Harron Tavus because he chose to side with the Sith, who had sacked Coruscant and strong-armed the Republic to give in to their demands. His reasoning was delusional, believing the Sith valued strength in its warriors. The Sith don't respect even themselves with all their constant scheming and back-stabbing, least of all the common soldier.
    Had his squad became a mercenary band or just retired altogether, I could've understand. But joining the Sith was just idiotic on his part.

    🤔 . . . I don’t exactly know, but upon seeing/hearing Order 66, non-clone personnel defected from the Galactic Republic, which, of course, days later, became the Galactic Empire. Therefore, the question must be asked: who went traitor the first: the higher ups OR the subordinates?
