CC-01/425

"I've been assigned as your advisor, and will be your eye in the sky until further notice...or we all get killed."

- CC-01/425 to Boss

CC-01/425 was a clone trooper who served in the Galactic Republic's Grand Army. During the Clone Wars, CC-01/425 served as a clone advisor and often found himself tasked with overseeing the operations of Delta Squad, a squad of elite clone commandos that included Boss, Fixer, Sev, and Scorch, whom he would communicate with via hologram and the squad's in-helmet comlinks. The advisor helped them through the Battle of Geonosis in the year 22 BBY, where Delta Squad killed the Geonosian Sun Fac, disabled an underground droid factory, and raided a Lucrehulk-class Core Ship. In the second year of the war, CC-01/425 tasked and directed Delta Squad through their investigation of a Acclamator-class assault ship in the Chaykin cluster. In 19 BBY, he also oversaw Delta's opening reconnaissance of the Battle of Kashyyyk where they freed the Wookiee Chieftain, Tarfful.

Biography
"I will be issuing further orders as you go. Good luck, commando."

- CC-01/425, to RC-1138

A clone of the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett, CC-01/425 was born on the planet of Kamino. He operated as a clone advisor during the Clone Wars, charged with overseeing squads of Galactic Republic clone commandos in their operations. When the Clone Wars broke out between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems on the Outer Rim world of Geonosis in the year 22 BBY, CC-01/425 was charged with overseeing the commandos of Delta Squad&mdash;which contained RC-1138, RC-1140, RC-1207, RC-1262; nicknamed "Boss," "Fixer," "Sev," and "Scorch," respectively&mdash;during the ensuing battle. Keeping in communication via hologram and the built-in comlink inside the commando's helmets, he told Boss to meet up with the rest of the squad which were positioned at different points across Geonosis. After rendezvousing with the rest of the squad, CC-01/425 tasked Delta with the assassination of Geonosian Archduke Poggle the Lesser's chief lieutenant, Sun Fac. After Delta Squad completed this task, CC-01/425 informed the squad of their next part of their mission, which was disabling an underground droid factory and raiding a Lucrehulk-class Core Ship.

Three hundred and sixty-seven days into the Clone Wars in 21 BBY, CC-01/425 was ordered to handle Delta Squad's investigation of the Republic Acclamator I-class assault ship, Prosecutor, which had recently reappeared in the Chaykin cluster following a two-week-long disappearance after being tasked with defending trade routes in the Corellian sector. He informed Delta Squad of their tasks to secure the starship and recover the flight records from the Prosecutor data cores. However, once the commandos were aboard the Prosecutor, communication between CC-01/425 and the commandos were cut off due to heavy static. Contact between CC-01/425 and Delta Squad was reestablished after Delta Squad reached the warship's bridge and destroyed a Separatist jamming device.

CC-01/425 then scanned the derelict capital ship and found several Trandoshan dropships in the Prosecutor hangars. Delta Squad informed him that they had encountered numerous Trandoshan mercenaries already. With that information, CC-01/425 gave the order for the squad to repel the Trandoshans, only to find that they were being backed by elements of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, who arrived to reinforce their Trandoshan allies with an armed Lucrehulk-class battleship. Delta Squad fought the large amount of battle droids the battleship deployed while they called for Republic assistance. They eventually got through to Republic Navy Captain Talbot, in command of the Acclamator I-class assault ship Arrestor. In conjunction with Delta Squad's efforts to reactivate the Prosecutor turbolaser battery, Arrestor destroyed the droid control ship and ensured Delta Squad's mission was a success.

In the final year of war, CC-01/425 informed Delta Squad that they would be inserted onto the planet Kashyyyk to locate the Wookiee Chieftain Tarfful, who had been captured by Trandoshan slavers. Once on the ground, CC-01/425 guided the squad through the forests of Kashyyyk to the Trandoshan slave camp, where Delta Squad freed several other imprisoned Wookiees. When the Separatist General Grievous's personal starfighter, Soulless One, was seen nearby, CC-01/425 order Delta Squad to visually confirm the cyborg General's presence. Grievous was there to take Tarfful into custody, but when Delta Squad struck, he fled the planet in the Soulless One, leaving his IG-100 MagnaGuards to battle Delta Squad. Once the droids were destroyed, Tarfful was rescued and taken to the galactic capital planet Coruscant. CC-01/425 also oversaw Delta Squad's strike on another Trandoshan compound in the Wroshyr tree forests of Kashyyyk, but his authority and operational tasking duties were later superseded by Jedi General Etain Tur-Mukan's arrival on Kashyyyk. However, Delta Squad was forced to leave behind their main sniper, Sev, as General Tur-Mukan was drawn away by the Wookiee Enacca. The job of settling the angered and upset Delta Squad, who were upset about leaving Sev behind, fell to CC-01/425. He tried to help Delta Squd by relaying a message from Jedi Grand Master Yoda through the squad's hologram, before reassigning Delta Squad with a new objective as the Battle of Kashyyyk truly began.

Personality and traits
"Three-Eight, get your squad under control! One commando is not worth jeopardizing an entire operation!" "One commando?! He's talking about my pod brother!"

- CC-01/425 and Scorch, after Delta Squad was forced to leave Sev behind.

CC-01/435 was a clone who stood 1.83 meters tall. He was a levelheaded soldier and expert tactician, proving a valuable asset to Delta Squad on every mission he was tasked to assist them with. Remaining calm and collected, CC-01/425 was often able to find efficient, if often improvised, solutions to problems facing Delta Squad in the field. CC-01/425 possessed a dry and cynical sense of humor, but at the same time was a very proper soldier. Though he never hassled Delta Squad members Sev or Scorch for their incessant chatter and back-and-forth quips, he demanded that the squad be professional when it was called for. He was also strongly pragmatic, believing that the loss of a single clone commando was acceptable in the scope of successfully completing a major operation. When Delta Squad were forced to leave Sev behind, he insisted that the commandos get a hold on their emotions.

Equipment
"I'm contacting the Republic for assistance."

- CC-01/435

CC-01/435 wore Phase I clone trooper armor throughout the war, rather than changing to Phase II clone trooper armor. Even during the battle of Kashyyyk, when most clone troopers had made the switch to Phase II armor, he still wore the Phase I armor. Like most clone troopers, he had an in-helmet comlink that he used to communicate with Delta Squad. He also had equipment that was capable to call in Republic support, which is what he did during Delta's mission in the Chaykin cluster.

Behind the scenes
CC-01/425 first appeared in the LucasArts video game Star Wars: Republic Commando, which was released on March 1, 2005. Despite appearing in a rather prominent role in the game, he was left out of the Republic Commando series of novels by author Karen Traviss. The actions of Delta Squad are only one aspect of the series, but when the novel Order 66 comes to Delta Squad's mission on Kashyyyk, CC-01/425 is still curiously absent from the narrative. His lines during Sev's abandoning are attributed to a different clone character altogether, General Quinlan Vos' Forward Air Controller. This article documents CC-01/425's involvement throughout the Kashyyyk mission as portrayed in the game, but favors Order 66 attribution of those few lines as it is the more recent source.
