Kite

"I just hope whatever it is we're facing is planetside, sir. I'd rather die with dirt, not deckplates, under my boots."

- Kite

Kite was a clone trooper commander assigned to the Venator-class Star Destroyer Laudable under Jedi General Ares Nune.

Biography
The Laudable was the head of a task force assigned to patrol the Phu system to seek out Separatist activity. Although an initial sweep had failed to turn up anything, General Grievous and the Malevolence were hiding just out of site and they fired on commander Kite's ship. The Republic force was caught off guard and the entire group was destroyed, including commander Kite.

Personality and traits
"You have a refreshingly singular outlook, Kite. The enemy had best be prepared."

- Ares Nune

Kite was a devoted soldier, having only read manuscripts relating to combat. His singular mindset kept him from relating fully to his Jedi General, and when Ares Nune tried to strike up a conversation relating their search to an old fable, Kite was uninterested. Kite thought himself better suited to ground operations, and he felt uncomfortable being aboard a Victory-class Star Destroyer.
