"Shiv" was the nickname of a clone cold assault trooper in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. During the war between the Galactic Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems, Shiv enjoyed writing to fellow clone trooper Flanker, even after Flanker's death during the Battle of Christophsis. In 22 BBY, Shiv and his squad were assigned to Glid Station on the ice planet of Orto Plutonia to field-test an assortment of subzero gear. While on the planet, his squad encountered an elusive and dangerous species they nicknamed the "ice men". The creatures killed any of the clone patrols they encountered. Shiv and his commander, Mag, were later killed by the ice men while inspecting one of the station's outer sensors. After this, the rest of the clones stationed in Glid Station, along with all the battle droids at the nearby CIS base, were killed by the "ice men".

The Republic later sent a task team lead by Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, along with Chairman Chi Cho and Senator Riyo Chuchi from the orbiting moon of Pantora, to investigate what had happened to Glid Station. The Jedi's research found that the "ice men" were actually a colony of Talz. They also discovered that the Talz had been attacked by the Separatists, and in the resulting conflict, the Republic base was caught in the middle.
