Background[]
Pong Krell was temporarily assigned to be the commander of the 501st Legion during the Battle of Umbara. He was very harsh and unfair with his troops, thinking out reckless strategies that went wrong and killed many clones, causing the troopers to execute a dissent plan rather than his horrible tactics. Fist, the troops only thought that he was reckless and hated clones, but the true reason was that he had fallen to the dark side because of his vision of a rising, new, victorious order, wich he wanted to be part of. When discovering his treachery, Captain Rex and his troops attacked him, and, after a huge fight, captured him. The traitor jedi was afterwards shot dead by Dogma, his most loyal soldier.
