Commander Deviss was flash-trained as a Captain and assigned to the 327th Star Corps as leader of K Company. During the Battle of Geonosis, his battalion (Hawkbat) was ordered to march directly into the withering fire of a Separatist spider droid column. Hawkbat was almost completely wiped out, and Deviss risked his life to stay behind in a shallow bomb crater, tending to two critically injured soldiers. For three hours, he defended their position as monstrous spider droids passed overhead. At last, the casevac team arrived. His men were rescued, and Deviss received a medal and a new command.

At the brutal Battle of Altyr V, Deviss' Jedi General was vaporized by enemy fire, leaving Deviss to improvise a new plan of attack. Not only did he rally the remaining companies, but he also destroyed a Separatist ion cannon emplacement, opening the battlefield to aerial bombardment and winning the day for the Republic. For this act of bravery and initiative, ARC Commander Bly promoted Deviss to Commander. Deviss was allowed to don the red ARC pauldron and kama, as well as the special macro-binocular helmet attachment.
