RC-5093

"What do I think about it? I don't know, really. Nobody's ever asked me for my opinion before."

- RC-5093

RC-5093 was a clone commando who served in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. Ultimately surviving the Clone Wars, RC-5093 became a member of the Imperial Army after the Republic's reformation into the Empire. The commando later retired from the military and began living in the CF VetCenter located on the planet Coruscant.

Biography
Conceived on the planet Kamino, RC-5093 was one of the many clones of the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett. RC-5093 was clone commando, being created solely for serving unquestionably in the Galactic Republic's army during the Clone Wars against the Separatists. RC-5093 managed to survive the Clone Wars and became a member of the Imperial Army after the Republic was reformed into the Galactic Empire.

RC-5093 eventually retired from the military and began living at the CF VetCenter on the Imperial capital planet Coruscant. At one point during his retirement, RC-5093 was asked how he felt about the war for which he had been bred, but was unable to formulate a reply, having never before been asked to make a subjective statement. The former commando was twenty-two standard years old when he was asked this question, but due to the advanced aging process of all clone troopers, RC-5093 was sixty biological years old at the time.

Personality and traits
A clone commando, RC-5093 was therefore one of the best soldiers in the galaxy, trained for covert infiltration, sabotage, demolition, and assassination. However, like all clone troopers, RC-5093 had his individuality and independence suppressed during his training, never being able to form his own beliefs. Because of this, when he asked about his opinion on the Clone Wars, RC-5093 was unable to reply. RC-5093 stood at 1.83 meters tall, like all other clone troopers.

Behind the scenes
RC-5093 was first quoted in Republic Commando: Hard Contact, a novel written by Karen Traviss and published in 2004. He later received an entry in the 2008 The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia.
