RC-1140

"Watch the master at work."

- Fixer, as he hacked into a terminal

RC-1140, or Delta-40, was an elite clone commando in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. Although he hated the use of nickames, he was known as Fixer to the other commandos in his squad, because of his talent for fixing and slicing all things mechanical.

While his fellow squad members had developed distinct personalities, Fixer was a gruff, by-the-book clone. His personality appeared to have more in common with the standard clone troopers than the individualized commandos. He was the only one of Delta Squad who persisted in using numbers over names. Fixer was often the one urging his squad onwards during a mission, although he rarely socialized with his fellow commandos outside of battle. Unlike his squad-mates, Fixer didn't appear to enjoy the heat of battle.

Biography
"Don't get too caught up in counting that you forget to cover me."

- Fixer to Scorch and Sev

During training on Kamino, Fixer became a favorite student of the class's instructor, borderline sociopath Walon Vau. The two both shared a common obsession with weapons, technology and tactics. In fact, Vau and Fixer developed many new close-quarter combat moves.

Sergeant Vau realized that Fixer's strict by-the-book attitude was exactly what was needed in a vice commander. Because of that, Fixer unofficially became second-in-command of Delta Squad. In the group, he became the unit's resident technology expert. When the Deltas were deployed in battle, Fixer typically took care of computer-slicing, code-breaking and other similar technological needs. Fixer was notorious for being particularly lethal with the retractable melee blade integrated into his green-striped Katarn-class armor.



Fixer's first mission with Delta Squad was on Geonosis. During the Battle of Geonosis the Deltas were given the task of eliminating Sun Fac and destroying a hidden jamming device. The Geonosian technology was no match for Fixer's slicing skills, and with his help, the Deltas were able to complete their mission, and later in the battle infiltrate a landed core ship. Fixer remained with Delta Squad throughout the Clone Wars through their mission on Kashyyyk.

Behind the scenes
Fixer was probably named after Luke Skywalker's friend Laze "Fixer" Loneozner.
