"One hundred percent, ma'am."

Apted Squelsh was a female Mon Calamari who lived during the waning years of the Galactic Republic. During the Clone Wars, Squelsh served in the Grand Army of the Republic and held the rank of major. In 21 BBY, Squelsh oversaw the actions of clone troopers at the training camp on Vandor-3, a moon of the Republic's capital planet Coruscant.[1]
During her time at Vandor-3, Squelsh ordered Advanced Recon Commando Captain CT-96/298, nicknamed "Nate," to visit her at her office for an administrative review. When Nate arrived, Squelsh congratulated him on the success of his unit during their recent training exercise and informed him that he had a new assignment—to assist two Jedi on a mission to the planet Ord Cestus. After the briefing, Nate asked Squelsh if Admiral Arikakon Baraka, the overseer of the training camp, had mentioned anything about the achievement of his unit during their recent training exercise. Squelsh replied that Baraka was satisfied with the performance of his troops before she dismissed the ARC trooper.[1]
