- "There is no time, Wrecker. Plan 99."
- ―Tech sacrificing himself
Plan 99 was a pre-determined code phrase created by Clone Force 99. The plan consisted of a member sacrificing their life for the sake of their squad in the event of the squad's safety being in jeopardy.[1]
Around 18 BBY[2] on Eriadu, during the bombing of Raven's Peak, Tech executed the plan, sacrificing himself by shooting down the connection hinge that connected the two halves of the rail car, causing half of it to break and fall, to which he was attached, in order to let the rest of squad escape before the Imperial forces took down the entire rail car.[1]
During The Battle on Mount Tantiss, Crosshair implied that he would execute Plan 99 by infiltrating the facility alone to find Omega so that she may be guaranteed to reunite with Hunter and Wrecker once she's safe. However, Hunter and Wrecker disagreed of the plan and the group infiltrated the base together. A plan that succeeded and ultimately granted them their freedom from being hunted by the Empire.

Notes and references[]
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 Star Wars: The Bad Batch — "Plan 99"
- ↑ Per the reasoning here, the seventh and eighth episodes of The Bad Batch Season 2, "The Clone Conspiracy" and "Truth and Consequences," can be placed in 18 BBY. Therefore, all Season 2 episodes proceeding "The Clone Conspiracy" occur between 19 BBY, which features the end of The Bad Batch Season 1 according to Star Wars: Timelines, and 18 BBY. The Galactic Empire, the formation of which Star Wars: Timelines dates to 19 BBY, sent Mayday's squad to Barton IV over a year prior to the events of the twelfth episode, "The Outpost." As it occurs over a year into the Imperial Era and is set shortly after the events of "Truth and Consequences," the events of "The Outpost" occur around 18 BBY. Following that logic, the ninth through eleventh episodes ("The Crossing" through "Metamorphosis") are also set around 18 BBY because they occur between the events of "Truth and Consequences" and "The Outpost." Finally, all season 2 episodes set after "The Outpost" occur shortly after its events, thereby placing those episodes around 18 BBY as well.
