Legend

this was the nickname of one of the four clone troopers in the Delta Squad of commandos, which participated in the Battle of Geonosis. Officially designated RC-1136, Darman was the only member of the squad to survive the fighting. A demolitions expert, Darman was noted for his use of a Wookiee bowcaster on missions. In the wake of the fighting on Geonosis, Darman was reassigned to Omega Squad, and dispatched to Qiilura to locate Ovolot Qail Uthan. In order to infiltrate the planet, Omega Squad flew in on a renovated Narsh crop-sprayer, but the vehicle caught a bird in one of its engines and plummeted to the ground. Although the rest of Omega Squd landed safely, Darman was thrown several hundred meters from the crash site. He sustained several injuries, including severe damage to his right leg, but was able to recover. As he made his way to one of the pre-assigned rendezvous points, he met up with Etain Tur-Mukan. Given his military training and Etain's Jedi training, Darman was surprised to learn that the two were attracted to each other. He liked her presence, and made every effort to support her and protect her as they made their way back to the rest of Omega Squad. He was also fascinated by her lightsaber, but realized that she needed more melee combat skills. He located two poles and sparred with her in combat, honing her lightsaber skills while enhancing both their fighting skills at the same time. During the final assault on Uthan's facilities, Darman was forced to admit that he was apprehensive about confined spaces, when he and his teammates were forced to enter the facility through a series of gdan tunnels. After the succesful capture of Uthan and their extraction to a rendezvous point, Darman was surprised to learn that Etain had arranged for him to stay behind on Qiilura to help with the clean-up efforts. Darman had to refuse, however, opting to remain with Omega Squad and levaving Qiilura behind for another battle.
