Wooley/Legends

"It's not going to be easy getting to those guns, sir.''" "There is always'' a way, Wooley."

- Wooley and Commander Cody

"Wooley" was the nickname of a clone trooper who served in the 212th Attack Battalion's Ghost Company, under High Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi. When the Confederacy of Independent Systems launched an invasion of Ryloth, Kenobi and the 212th were sent to liberate the planet. After landing, Wooley and his unit were tasked with eliminating the Confederate proton cannons to allow the Republic transports to land. After destroying the outer Confederate defenses of the city Nabat, Wooley accompanied Clone Commander CC-2224, nicknamed "Cody," and fellow troopers Waxer and Boil to scout ahead. Cody and Wooley went to investigate the courtyard and discovered that the Twi'leks of the city were being held by the Confederate battle droids to serve as "living shields." After reporting their findings back to Kenobi and Mace Windu, they moved out. Waxer and Boil meanwhile&mdash;with the help of young Twi'lek Numa&mdash;had found a way to free the captives. Cody and his troopers created a diversion, making Kenobi able to free the prisoners and destroy the proton cannons. The freed Twi'leks destroyed tactical droid TX-20, who was about to kill General Kenobi. The Republic was able to land more troops and later won the battle.

Biography
The clone trooper nicknamed "Wooley" was one of the many cloness of the bounty hunter Jango Fett, born on Kamino to serve in the Grand Army of the Republic. Wooley served under Clone Commander CC-2224, nicknamed "Cody," and High Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi in the 212th Attack Battalion, a unit within the 7th Sky Corps. After the Techno Union Foreman and Separatists member Emir Wat Tambor took control of Ryloth and its inhabitants in 22 BBY, the Republic mounted an offensive to liberate them. General Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan, Commander Ahsoka Tano, were able to destroy the Separatist blockade surrounding the planet, allowing the ground invasion forces to land.

Kenobi, Cody, Wooley and the rest of Ghost Company, a unit of the 212th, boarded the Crumb Bomber and other LAAT/i gunships and attempted to land in the city of Nabat. However, Confederate proton cannons attacked the Republic transports above, and Kenobi was tasked by Jedi Master Mace Windu with taking out the cannons to allow the rest of the ground troops to land. The LAAT/i landed, and Kenobi and Ghost Company managed to destroy the outer defenses of the droid positions.

Ghost Company then settled up a base and shortly after Cody went with Wooley, Waxer, and Boil to scout ahead the city of Nabat. Then Cody and Wooley went to investigate the courtyard and discovered that the Twi'leks were being held prisoner. Wooley stated that it would not be easy to free the prisoners, though Cody responded that there was always a way. After reporting their findings to Kenobi and Windu, they moved out to the village. However, they were attacked by gutkurrs, released by tactical droid TX-20, the commander of the Confederate forces stationed in Nabat. Kenobi managed to lure them into an alley with the Force, and Cody and his men targeted at a bridge above the entrance, collapsing the structure and trapping the creatures. Waxer and Boil then emerged out of an underground tunnel with the young Twi'lek Numa, and Kenobi learned that she could lead them to the prisoners.

Then, Cody and the Company created a diversion by attacking the droids, while Kenobi, Waxer, and Boil freed the prisoners and also managed to take out the rest of the proton cannons. When the tactical droid commander was about to shot Kenobi, the freed Twi'leks attacked TX-20, destroying him. With the proton cannons eradicated, Windu and his forces were able to land on the planet, and eventually liberated Ryloth.
