Mygeeto
874 Days After Geonosis

The 501st's elite status afforded some comforts, but a lot more more issues. Mygeeto, which had been under siege for years already, had need of one of our detachments for a special mission. As it turned out, this would be something of vital importance, for the Supreme Chancellor himself. Collecting a secret Mygeetan power source, deep in a CIS-controlled ity, which would be used for - well, you already know the answer to that.

General Skywalker was off on some special mission the Council had given him, so full command was placed on Captain Rex (CT-7567). To his delight, with the final class of the ARC Training Program graduated, Captain Alpha (ARC/A-17), with the authority of the Special Operations Brigade, was free to aid the war effort in any way he chose. He chose us.

Linking up with the Galactic Marines, General Ki-Adi-Mundi led the charge to take the Separatists' power generator. Right under his nose, we took the crystal and put it on a gunship. To quote the journal of another trooper..."The success of the mission on Mygeeto was something of a revelation for the men of the 501st. Suddenly, we realized that the Jedi could be fooled. And if they could be fooled, they could be killed."

With the mission complete, the 501st was rotated out of Mygeeto not long after. Alpha would be transferred to the Venator-class Star Destroyer Intervention, on request from Senator Bail Organa, and supposedly met his end at the Battle of Boz Pity. The rest of the unit would be sent to Felucia or Coruscant. And after that, only a few more battles, Kashyyyk, Utapau, Mandalore, and Coruscant itself. It wouldn't be too long after that the 501st would be reorganized from a battalion into a full Legion...with Operation Knightfall... 

Just a little scenario on what could have went on before the 501st secured the Mygeetan crystal in BFII. Also a cheeky reference to some concepts that  and I came up with.
