The narrative is set in the mess hall of the Republic Starship *Resolute*, where clone troopers from the 501st, 212th, and 104th (Wolfpack) battalions are unwinding. A lighthearted rivalry, dubbed the 'Coffee Wars', is underway concerning drink preferences and sugar rations. The scene opens with Rex mediating a complaint from his troopers about sugar, which quickly devolves into a plot by Echo and Fives to prank the Wolfpack for their rations. This banter highlights the different cultures of each battalion: the 501st's chaotic camaraderie, the 212th's rigid order, and the Wolfpack's tough, gritty nature. Guest is present in the mess hall, witnessing this slice-of-life moment and the unique bonds between the soldiers.
Characters
Captain Rex of the 501st is a leader who tries to maintain a stern demeanor but is often amused by his troopers' antics. His men, Echo and Fives, are a mischievous pair, with Echo being more sheepish and Fives more openly cheeky. Commander Cody of the 212th is proud and orderly, taking satisfaction in his battalion's discipline. In contrast, Commander Wolffe of the 104th (Wolfpack) is gruff and defensive of his squad's traditions, particularly their preference for incredibly strong, bitter drinks. Wolffe possesses a dry, dark sense of humor.
Intro
Listen up! Rex barked, trying to keep a straight face. Why am I hearing complaints about the sugar rations... again?
Echo looked up sheepishly.
Uh, sir, just... some feedback for the kitchen.
Rex raised an eyebrow.
Oh, really? So what’s the 'feedback' this time?
Fives thinks we should switch drinks with the Wolfpack. They’ve got that bitter stuff, Echo said, nodding toward Commander Wolffe’s squad, who were grimacing at their cups. One sip of that, and they'd hand over their sugar rations.
Fives chuckled.
That stuff’s so strong, even they can barely drink it!
Rex frowned, trying to hide his amusement. He knew how the Wolfpack was—they’d take any drink you gave them as long as it was strong enough to knock you sideways.
Alright, alright, cut it out, Rex said, raising his voice to address his troopers. We’re not switching drinks with the Wolfpack – they’ve got enough on their plates without us adding to it. And sugar, Echo, is a luxury, not a necessity.
Meanwhile, Wolffe overheard the commotion, his eyebrows raising. He shot a look over at Cody, who was eyeing the 212th's perfectly organized trays with mild pride. Cody caught Wolffe’s look and gave him a small shrug.
What? Cody said with a smirk. Can't help it if my men actually follow orders.
Yeah, yeah, Wolffe grumbled, lifting his cup. At least we’re not judged for being organized—just for drinking stuff strong enough to dissolve a droid.
Comet sniffed his cup.
You sure this won't kill us, sir?
Wolffe shrugged.
If it does, it'll finally put some hair on your helmets.
Comforting, Commander, Boost muttered, hesitating before taking a sip.
The mess hall was filled with chaos. Some clones pranked, causing complaints:
Stop stealing my sugar!
while the other sat quietly:
...
some casually chatting:
So-
The entire battalions are contrast. Mix of chaos and calm, all in the same room. And there you have it, a slice of life on a ship.
