"Come on, boss, when have I ever let you down?" "Well, there was Cato Neimoidia."

- Clone Commander Cody and Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi

I,CC-2224, nicknamed Cody, was a clone marshal commander assigned to High Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi of the Grand Army of the Republic towards the end of the Clone Wars.

I was the leader of the 7th Sky Corps, though I typically took personal command of the 212th Attack Battalion, I was a loyal and competent soldier who always followed my orders. Originally, I was a clone captain serving under Obi-Wan.It was him who recognized my work and put me in for a promotion.

Early life
I began my life as one of countless cloned officers slated for a leadership position in the Grand Army of the Republic. Early on in my career, I showed a flair for independent thought that often drew the always-prying eyes of the Kaminoans.

The Clone Wars
As leader of the 7th Sky Corps, I was to be paired with a Jedi General. I was pleased to discover that I would be operating under the command of famed Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi. During the Battle of Geonosis, however, I found myself directing my men alone, as Kenobi was busy in his pursuit of Separatist leader Count Dooku. I would later serve under Jedi Master Mace Windu at the Battle of Skor II.

Additional training
Several months into the Clone Wars, I was temporarily pulled from the fighting in order to be entered into an experimental training regiment, headed by ARC trooper Alpha-17, designed to provoke independent thought among my brother commanders. As a sign of my new-found independent streak, I took the name "Cody," and began customizing my armor with equipment previously available only to the ARCs. My armor modifications included a small, bullet-shaped jetpack, a secondary comm antenna, a visor on my helmet, a pair of antennae on my helmet, enlarged shoulder pads, and a small stick-like tool in an armband on my upper right arm.

Of the hundred commanders put through Alpha-17's training program, a handful were picked by Alpha-17 and assigned to Squad Seven, an elite group of cross-trained commandos made up of the Grand Army's best snipers, demolition experts, and marines, whose role was to accompany ranking Jedi on any type of mission. For our stellar performances, me and Odd Ball were given control over Squad Seven, although Major Jorir handled its day-to-day operations.



Other battles
"Skywalker should've attacked by now!" "Don't worry! He knows the plan.""

- Cody to General Kenobi

The following months took me to dozens of worlds&mdash;Kooriva, Praesitlyn, Rendili, Boz Pity, Aargonar, Maramere, Bomis Korri IV, Sarrish, Saleucami, Skor II, and Christophsis just to name a few&mdash;as the fighting intensified. Me and Kenobi developed as close a relationship as was allowed after months of fighting side-by-side.

I would later lead a group of rookies along with my best friend, Captain Rex to take back a communications station on the Rishi moon. Rex created the plan to get the droids to open the door by pretending to be one of the droids in clone armor. Unfortunately, a droid invasion force led by General Grievous arrived to take the outpost. To give the Republic notice that the moon has been compromised, we resolved to blow the outpost up with liquid tibanna. Rex tried to prime one of the detonators but it didn't work. Shinie Hevy stayed behind to fix it but failed. With droid forces overwhelming the base, Hevy made the ultimate sacrifice by manually detonating the bomb, destroying the outpost(Along with himself) and alerting the Republic.

In an effort to bring the war to an early conclusion, the Republic launched an assault on Cato Neimoidia, home to Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray's redoubt. As the battle to capture Viceroy Gunray's majestic redoubt raged, My Squad Seven, helmed by Jedi Generals Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, managed to penetrate the Separatist's inner-defenses and fought its way into the complex. While they were unable to capture the Viceroy himself, they were able to capture vital intelligence. In his hurry to evacuate the redoubt, Gunray left behind his mechno-chair, from the which the Republic was able to learn of the coming Separatist attack on the planet Belderone.

In what was publicly announced as an effort to bring a swift end to the war, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine committed an additional 200,000 troopers to the Outer Rim Sieges. My 7th Sky Corps was among the thousands of divisions reassigned to the battles raging in the Rim. When Kenobi was sent to investigate a Separatist presence on Utapau, he took me and my 212th Attack Battalion with him. As it turns out, Utapau was acting as a temporary safe haven for the Separatist Council, with General Grievous and his droid armies acting as their protectors.

Battle of Utapau and Order 66
"Would it have been too much to ask for the order to have come through before I gave him back the bloody lightsaber?"

- My thoughts after receiving Order 66



During the Battle of Utapau, I led my team of men into Pau City, along with Parjai Squad and various other paratrooping squads. During the attack, I found Kenobi's dropped lightsaber and would later return it to him.

As Obi-Wan battled Grievous in a fierce lightsaber duel, I engaged the droid forces. It was during the fighting that I received Order 66 via an encrypted channel from the Supreme Chancellor. Order 66 labeled Kenobi and the rest of the Jedi as enemies of the Republic. My first thoughts at this were frustration and regret at giving back Kenobi's lightsaber before he received the order. I then ordered one of my AT-TEs to fire at Kenobi on his varactyl mount, causing Kenobi and Boga to plummet to the bottom of the sinkhole.

"I want to see the body."

- Me, after dispatching teams to look for Kenobi

I, however, all too aware of Jedi prowess, was not convinced of Kenobi's death and sent Arakyd Prowler 1000 probe droids into the catacombs beneath Pau City to look for him. After following through with Palpatine's orders, I rallied his troops, and within the hour the Separatists were routed and Pau City was under Republic control. My fears were confirmed when I was informed by a lieutenant that General Grievous's personal starfighter had fled the planet. I readied his troops to pursue the Separatist Council, which in the confusion of battle had managed to slip away.

Armor and gear
After my additional training I customized my armor. I wore several different versions. Early in the Clone Wars I used a set of Phase I clone trooper armor that featured a visor, antennas, and orange stripes. Later in the Clone Wars, I was known to have worn at least two similar sets of Phase II armor. One featured two antennae, one coming from each of my oversized shoulder pads. With this set of armor I also wore a holster on my belt that carried a small blaster pistol and a large jetpack.



This set of armor also had orange stripes. My other set of Phase II armor had a slightly different orange striped paint job, as well as two gray stripes coming down the sides of the top of the helmet. This set of armor also had a small tool attached to the upper arm piece, only one antenna on the shoulder pads with one on the back of his helmet, and a smaller, oval shaped jetpack. Also, I have Imperial-like rank markings adorning the left side of my breast-plate.
