CT-782/Legends

"Do we take prisoners?''" "''I don't."

- Hevy's last words, responding to a battle droid

CT-782 was a clone trooper who served in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars, the conflict between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. CT-782 earned the nickname of "Hevy," due to being a heavy weapons expert. Around 21 BBY, Hevy, along with his fellow Domino Squad clone cadet troopers, trained within Tipoca City's military complex. During one of his last practice combat simulations, Hevy, like the rest of his squad, disobeyed orders, which caused the group to fail the simulation test. Their squad's observer and trainer, Siniteen Sergeant Bric, expressed concern of the squad's inability to work as a team. Despite this, Hevy and Domino Squad were present during a clone cadet meeting. The clone cadets were to engage in a final test before coming a clone trooper, overseen by ARC troopers. Because of their inability to work as team, Domino Squad failed the test; however, Jedi Master Shaak Ti allowed Hevy and his team to retake the test. This time, Hevy and the squad were able to put aside their differences and past the test successfully, allowing Hevy and the squad to become clone troopers.

Hevy and Domino Squad were assigned to patrol the Rishi Station, a listening post located on the moon of Rishi. Under the command of Sergeant O'Niner, the group of clones maintained the listening post to warn the Galactic Republic fleet of any Confederate attacks in the Outer Rim and were present during a surprise Confederate attack on the station. BX-series droid commandos took over the Rishi moon base and fortified themselves inside. Commander Cody and Captain Rex soon arrived at the base for a routine inspection. The clone officers met up with Hevy and the remaining clone troops and organized a plan to attack the droids. Upon taking over the base, Rex ordered the destruction of the listening post, and the clones collected liquid tibanna and explosives. Noticing that the remote detonator would not respond, Hevy offered to stay behind and fix the problem, while the other clones left the base through the ventilation shaft. Hevy was soon attacked by the battle droids and was only able to destroy some of them with his Z-6 rotary blaster cannon. His success came with sacrifice, however, as he opted to manually detonate the explosives, instantly killing himself and destroying the droids and the listening post.

Training on Kamino
CT-782 was a clone trooper who served in the Grand Army of the Republic's Domino Squad, a unit of clone cadets, during the Clone Wars. During his tenure in Domino Squad, the other Domino Squad clone cadets&mdash;Cutup, Echo, Fives, Droidbait&mdash;became acquainted with CT-782. They began to nickname him "Hevy," due to him knowing heavy weaponry. Within Kamino's Tipoca City military complex, around 21 BBY, Hevy and the other Domino Squad members trained under Siniteen Sergeant Bric. Bric oversaw the clone cadets practice in combat simulations, which placed them head-to-head with battle droids. While the battle droids' weapons, as well as their own weapons, were not lethal, no clone could be injured during one of their simulations. Despite this, all clone cadet squad had to work as a team to successfully pass the simulation. For Domino Squad, however, the team rarely got along with each other. During one of their last simulations, Hevy and Domino Squad were engaging droids when Hevy broke away from the group.

Watching the group, Bric, Arcona El-Les, and Jedi Master Shaak Ti, took concern of Domino Squad's recklessness. Bric expressed the group's inability to work as a team, and wanted to send them to Tipoca City's maintenance crew, where rejected clones went. As the combat simulation progressed, Hevy kept disobeying orders and assumed the squad's leadership on his own. However, the droid forces began to overwhelm the clones. With the simulation a failure, Hevy and Domino Squad left the combat room and headed back to the complex's sleeping quarters. Once there, Hevy took off his training helmet and tossed it on the ground in anger. The clone cadet was displeased with his team. Nearby, Echo, Fives, Cutup, and Droidbait overheard him. When Droidbait tried to calm Hevy down, Hevy told him to stay out of his way. When Hevy claimed himself to be the best of his group, Echo intervened and confronted Hevy. The two engaged in a hand-to-hand brawl, though Bric soon came and broke up the fight. Bric told the clone cadets of Domino Squad since they could not get work as a team, they were a waste of his time. Outside the military complex, Bric and El-Les rallied Domino Squad, as well as other clone cadet squads, for a meeting.

A few Advanced Recon Commando troopers, led by Clone Commander Colt, were to watch the clone cadet's final combat simulator test. If one past the test, the troopers within the squad would be promoted to a clone trooper. Colt took interest within Bravo Squad, a unit of clone cadets that past certain tests in "ARC trooper time." Following Bravo Squad to the combat simulator room, Hevy and Domino Squad would enter the test once Bravo Squad was finished. Not long after, a cadet from Bravo Squad lifted a pole on top of a citadel, which completed the simulation test. Entering the combat room, Hevy and the rest of Domino Squad past the cadets from Bravo Squad, who teased them by saying "time to watch the Dominoes fall." However, once the simulator began, Domino Squad past certain parts of the simulation faster than their usual rate. As the other clones were taking cover, Hevy, who was destroying droids with his Z-6 rotary blaster cannon, was clearing a path for them. When Droidbait broke away from Echo, Fives, and Cutup, a droid shot him in the back. Echo noticed this and yelled for help, though Hevy told him to leave Droidbait alone. He wanted his squad to head for the room's citadel, where the pole to complete the test was located.

Bric, Colt, and El-les noticed them leaving Droidbait, which forced them to stop the simulation test. When Hevy and Domino Squad automatically failed the test, Colt told them that they should never leave a man behind. That night, 99, a rejected clone due to cloning problems, approached the frustrated Hevy. The clone told Hevy that, despite the clone cadet's differences, he should work together with his team. Since 99 was never given a chance to prove himself worthy as a clone trooper, Hevy had that chance to do so. This convinced Hevy that if he and his squad-mates do not succeed, they will be not become clone troopers. Hevy took 99's advice and, the following day, showed it during Domino Squad's final test. Shaak Ti allowed Domino Squad to retake the test, since she and El-Les believed in them. Seeing Hevy and Domino Squad participate in the simulation test for the last time, Bric joined Shaak Ti, El-Les, and Colt, as they watched the clone cadets. This time, however, Hevy and the other clones got further into the test.

When Hevy, Echo, Fives, Cutup, and Droidbait reached the bottom of the citadel, they noticed that their ascension cables in their belts were missing. Before the test, Bric took the cables to cause the clones to fail the test. Yet, the clones improvised and decided to climb blaster turrets that acceded up toward the citadel's roof. Hevy successfully climbed the turrets and lifted the pole on top of the citadel. After Domino Squad finally completing the test, Shaak Ti and El-Les spoke positively about their efforts. Due to them working as a team and completing their final test, Hevy and the rest of Domino Squad were allowed to become clone troopers. They each received their own medals, as a symbol for their graduation from clone cadet. While Echo, Fives, Cutup, and Droidbait kept theirs, Hevy decided to give his own medal to 99. He appreciated 99's help he had given him, which bought Domino Squad together.

Attack on the moon of Rishi
"This one here is mine!''" "''A big gun doesn't make a big man."

- Hevy and Cody, on him picking the Z-6 rotary blaster cannon

After his training on Kamino, Hevy was given his first off-world assignment. Along with Echo and Cutup, he was stationed at a listening post located on a moon of the planet Rishi, under the command of Sergeant O'Niner. Hevy would soon be joined by Fives, Droidbait, and trooper Nub, who were new to the Rishi Station. As part of their assignments, they maintained the listening post to warn the Galactic Republic of any impending Separatist attacks on Kamino. While Hevy and the rookie troopers were on duty in the control room, Sergeant O'Niner entered the room and alerted the clone troopers of an inspection that would soon begin. Unbeknownst to the group of clone troopers, however, Confederate General Grievous had sent BX-series droid commandos in Droch-class boarding ships to attack the listening post.

Grievous, along with the Dark Acolyte Asajj Ventress, intended to invade Kamino to end the production of the Republic's clone troopers. The Republic listening post on the moon of Rishi had an "all clear signal," which, if turned off, would alert a nearby Republic fleet, so Grievous planned to order his droids to leave the signal untouched. Meanwhile, a clone trooper alerted O'Niner that a meteor shower was approaching. To protect the base, the clone raised the listening post's shield. Outside the listening post, the meteor shower&mdash;which was actually the Droch-class boarding ships used by the commando droids&mdash;crashed everywhere around the listening post. The droids soon left their transports and began their attack on the Republic base. In the command center, O'Niner tried to contact clone trooper CT-327&mdash;who, unbeknownst to O'Niner, had already been killed by the commando droids&mdash;but was not able to reach him. The clone sergeant ordered troopers Droidbait and Nub to search for him; however, the two soon encountered a group of droids near the base's entrance. The battle droids began to fire at the two clone troopers, alerting the nearby O'Niner. The Sergeant ordered Hevy to sound the listening post's alarm, but he sound found that the droids had deactivated the beacon.

After three commando droids shot and killed O'Niner, the remaining clone troopers&mdash;Hevy, Echo, Fives, and Cutup&mdash;evacuated the command center by going through a ventilation shaft, which led them outside the listening post. Exiting the ventilation shaft, the four troops, who already felt helpless without their commanding sergeant, were further disheartened when a Rishi eel attacked and devoured Cutup, leaving only Hevy, Echo, and Fives to defend themselves. Eventually, the remaining rookie clone troopers noticed the Obex, a Nu-class attack shuttle flown by Clone Commander CC-2224 and Clone Captain CC-7567, nicknamed "Cody" and "Rex," respectively. The clone officers had arrived for the inspection of the listening post but were unaware of the droid attack. After meeting the clones for the first time, Rex demanded that the rookies remove their helmets to verify that they were clones. After the three rookie troopers obeyed and removed their protective headgear, a Rishi moon eel appeared and began to attack them.

This time, Rex used his DC-17 hand blaster to kill it with one shot to the eye, a feat that impressed the rookies. Confronting the rookie troopers, Rex referred to them as "shinies," a derogatory term referring to the troopers' spotless armor that had not yet seen action in battle. Rex, nonetheless, found the group to be unique and took interest in Hevy's confidence, as well as stating that "there was hope for them yet." Both Rex and Cody gave the rookie troops their DC-15S blaster carbines before Rex suggested a plan to retake the listening post. The group of clone troopers hid near the entrance of the base while Rex impersonated commando droid unit 26 by using the droid's decapitated head. The Clone Captain successfully tricked commando droid Units 07, 08, and 09 to open the listening post's main door, allowing the clone troopers to ambush the remainder of the commando droids inside the base. Upon entering the command center, the clones defeated the droid units, including their vibroblade-wielding leader.

Death
"Hevy, get out of there.''" "''The remote isn't working; I have to detonate it manually."

- Rex, telling Hevy to evacuate the listening post.

Their minor victory was cut short, however, when the clone troopers noticed that General Grievous' fleet had arrived above the moon. Due to the lack of communication from the commando droids, Grievous sent more battle droids to the listening post. The clones, inside the command center of the listening post, were unable to turn off the "all clear" signal because the droids had hot-wired it. Soon, a droid landing craft descended through the atmosphere and landed near the listening post. With the battle droid reinforcements outnumbering the clone troopers, Rex ordered the complete destruction of the base, to the surprise of the rookie troops. After the rookie clone troopers told the Clone Captain that their instruction was to protect the base, Rex dismissed them and ordered them to find anything explosive. Echo offered the use of highly explosive liquid tibanna, stored in plunk droids. While Rex and Echo went to retrieve the specific droids, Cody, Hevy, and Fives grabbed weaponry from the listening post's supply room. With their new supply of weaponry, they opened fire on the invading battle droid forces, buying time for Rex to wire three plunk droids together. Unexpectedly, the remote activator to detonate the tibanna inside the plunk droids did not function properly.

Hevy offered to stay behind and correct the problem, enabling the others to exit the listening post through the ventilation shaft. The clone rookie used his Z-6 rotary blaster cannon&mdash;which he had chosen earlier with Cody and Fives&mdash;and fired on the invading B1 battle droids. Outside, Cody, Rex, Echo, and Fives noticed that Hevy was still inside the listening post. Rex tried to contact Hevy via comlink, but Hevy told the Clone Captain that he had to detonate the explosives manually. Unwilling to accept Hevy's decision, Rex and the clones ran to rescue the rookie trooper. However, inside the station, more battle droids approached the command center, and Hevy's Z-6 rotary blaster eventually ran out of ammunition. Hevy tossed the disabled weapon at the battle droids before he was injured in the leg by the droids. Upon Hevy's regaining of consciousness, a battle droid questioned whether or not to take Hevy as a prisoner. Replying that he did not take prisoners, Hevy activated the tibanna explosives, killing himself and destroying the listening post along with the droids inside. Outside, the remaining clone troopers witnessed the destruction of the listening post. While they were unsuccessful in rescuing Hevy, the clones soon departed the moon of Rishi, after being picked by a LAAT/i gunship that just arrived. Onboard the Venator-class Star Destroyer Resolute, Jedi Generals Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker awarded Echo and Fives a medal for their service and honored Hevy's bravery and sacrifice.

Personality and traits
"You wanted excitement, Hevy.''" "''Right. Oo-ooh, meteor shower."

- Cutup and Hevy

When Hevy was part of Domino Squad, the clone cadet preferred to be called by his designated number&mdash;CT-782&mdash;than his nickname Hevy. He was sarcastic and constantly tried to show his strengths and abilities to the other clone troopers, usually by voicing his opinion. During one of Domino Squad's combat simulations, El-les and Shaak Ti noticed that Hevy often broke away from his squad and took leadership on his own. Throughout his time as a clone cadet and rookie clone trooper, Hevy was regarded as a unique fighter who had an eye for heavy weaponry. His favorite weapon of choice was the Z-6 rotary blaster cannon. When Hevy wanted to use his favored weapon during the Rishi Station battle, Clone Commander Cody took interest within Hevy. The Commander told Hevy "a big gun doesn't make a big man." Despite this, Hevy showed bravery when he offered to stay behind and defend Rishi Station from the invading droids. Hevy even showed eagerness when the clones were attacking the droids inside the Rishi Station. When the clones spotted the commando droids inside the control center of the listening post, he asked Rex if he could attack the droids first. As an independent thinker, Hevy was determined to defend the listening post; however, his idea of defending it declined when droid forces overwhelmed him. Hevy ultimately made the choice to destroy the listening post, with him inside it, which caused the clone to deny Clone Captain Rex's request for him to evacuate the base.

Hevy was seen as an aggressive trooper. Inside their sleeping quarters in Tipoca City, Hevy was angered by Domino Squad's lack of competence. After arguing with his squad mates, Hevy told his squad that he thought like an "ARC trooper," while the others did not. When Echo intervened and corrected Hevy, Hevy pushed Echo and the two began to fight one and another. Inside Rishi Station, Hevy challenged the others to arm wrestling matches under the impression it was only to pass the time and constantly claimed that he wanted "to get into the action." Out of the number of rookie clone troopers that were stationed inside Rishi Station, they all believed that Hevy's impression with the listening post was negative, as he did not enjoy his time there. Nevertheless, he was willing to sacrifice his own life during the fight inside the post. Like the other Domino Squad clone cadets, Hevy wore green and white armor. On his chest and left shoulder armor, a "1" symbol was painted on. During his tenure on the Rishi moon, Hevy wore standard sleek white Phase I clone armor. Hevy sported tattoos on either side of his face, from the back of the neck to the cheeks.

Behind the scenes
"What the hell was that?"

- Hevy exclaimed the word "hell" during the first broadcasting of "Rookies."

Hevy was first revealed in a storyboard sketch shown on StarWars.com and was subsequently featured in "Rookies," the fifth episode in the first season of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series, which aired on October 24, 2008. Like all clone troopers throughout the series, he was voiced by Dee Bradley Baker. In the premiere of "Rookies," Hevy exclaimed the word "hell" once. The word "hell" was removed in later broadcasts of the episode, however. Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Visual Guide Ultimate Battles gave Hevy the clone designation of "CT-26-6958." Despite Hevy's death in "Rookies," Hevy later appeared in the "Clone Cadets," the first episode in the third season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, which aired on September 17, 2010. The episode itself served as a prequel to Rookies, and also introduced a continuity error. In the episode, various characters called Hevy "CT-782." This contradicts Ultimate Battles, which had given Hevy the designation of "CT-26-6958." In the episode's accompanying episode guide on StarWars.com, it says "CT-782" is Hevy's designation number.
