Following the success of fielding clone armies in the V3 War, further experiments were conducted on cloned labor by the United Orcs. LU-053478484 was one of the experimental purpose-bred clones based on military strains, reassigned into civilian duties; in LU-053478484's case, that of a mailman on Aldaain.

The experiment was a partial success, as the clone performed his duties with uncaring, military efficiency and discipline. There were some complications however, as he would often refer to package delieveries as "satchel charges" and treat them like grenades. Eventually, LU-053478484 was forced on early retirement following the decapitation of several customers in a bizarre and entirely unpleasant incident involving post cards. A criminal court found LU-053478484's actions were not premeditated and that he could not be held liable, but ruled for a mandatory resignation from the postal service.

In an interview after the court proceedings, LU-053478484 only gave the following statement:

They drew first blood, not me. They drew first blood... There are no friendly civilians.

Further experiments into cloned civilian labor were later cancelled by the UO government following similar cases.
