Unidentified clone trooper lieutenant (Drongar)

"Yow. Their field must've gone critical. Probably slipped a superconductor coupling.''" "''No way. My crew went over the housing this morning. Checked the seals three times - those vacuum bubles were tight. A greased neutrino couldn't have squeezed between the plates."

- The lieutenant and a Human

Like all clone troopers, this clone trooper lieutenant was a clone of the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett and was bred on the planet Kamino to fight for the Grand Army of the Republic in the Clone Wars. In 20 BBY, the lieutenant served on the Outer Rim planet Drongar where the Republic clashed with the Confederacy of Independent Systems about the bota fields on the planet. Bota was a highly valuable plant, which had enormous medicinal qualities. During his stay on Drongar, the lieutenant witnessed the explosion of a bota carrier at the Republic Mobile Surgical Unit 7. While the lieutenant suspected that the ship had exploded due to a shield failure, a nearby Ishi Tib technician stated that such an event was impossible. After that, the lieutenant asked how many where onboard and recieved the answer that three people had died. The trooper considered this to be a "shame" before leaving. Unbeknownst to be Republic, the traitor Klo Merit had sabotaged the carrier.

Personality and traits
After seeing the explosion of the carrier, the lieutenant whistled in awe and was quick with an assumption what had caused the event. After being told otherwise, the trooper asked how many lives the tragedy claimed and considered the loss of three people a shame. Like all clone troopers, he stood 1.83 meters tall. As a lieutenant, he wore a blue clone trooper armor.

Behind the scenes
The clone lieutenant had a brief appearance in MedStar I: Battle Surgeons, the first novel of the MedStar Duology. Battle Surgeons was written by Michael Reaves and Steve Perry and published in 2004.
