Bric/Legends

"I told you this was going to happen. We've wasted enough time with those losers."

- Bric, speaking to El-Les about Domino Squad

Bric was a battle-worn male Siniteen bounty hunter. During the Clone Wars, Bric was hired by the Galactic Republic to help train clone cadets on the planet Kamino as a drill sergeant. Bric, along with Arcona bounty hunter El-Les, took the rank of "Master Chief" as they trained various clone cadet squads. Bric personally conditioned the disobedient members of Domino Squad, a unit that was struggling. Around 21 BBY, toward the end of Domino Squad's training, Bric was disgusted with the team's inability to work with each other and wanted to reassign the members of Domino Squad to Tipoca City's military complex maintenance crew, where rejected clone cadets went. After Domino Squad failed to pass their final challenge, the clones were given a second chance to retake the test, in which they came together and passed, an accomplishment that impressed Bric. Bric and Domino Squad parted ways after the members became battle-ready clone troopers.

Biography
"This particular unit seems to have some trouble. What do you recommend?''" "''Well, I'm no Jedi, so forgive my bluntness, but I say they fail. Send them down to maintenance with 99 and the other rejects."

- Shaak Ti and Bric

Bric, a male Siniteen, was a battle-worn bounty hunter. During the Clone Wars, the Galactic Republic hired the Siniteen as a drill sergeant to train various clone cadet squads for the Republic's Grand Army on the planet Kamino. In Kamino's Tipoca City, Bric was joined by another bounty hunter, the Arcona El-Les, and both took the rank of "Master Chief" as they trained the clone cadets. Bric personally trained Domino Squad, a unit that struggled to work as a team. Toward the end of Domino Squad's training around the second year of the war, Bric and El-Les joined Jedi Master Shaak Ti, who oversaw the training of the clone cadets on Kamino, in the city's military complex testing chamber. On a secure observation deck that overlooked the chamber, the trio watched Domino Squad practice for their final test&mdash;the Citadel Challenge, in which the clone cadets had to secure a flag at the top of a large tower. During the squad's practice test, Bric and the others noticed Domino Squad struggled to work as a team, which caused them to fail their test.

After their practice test, the clones returned to their sleeping barracks. There, Bric broke up a fight between Domino Squad members CT-782 and CT-21-0408, nicknamed "Hevy" and "Echo," respectively. The next day, Bric and El-Les rallied Domino Squad and other clone cadet squads outside on a hangar deck. Near the two bounty hunters stood ARC troopers of the Rancor Battalion, led by Commander Colt, who were there to oversee the clone cadets' final test&mdash;if the cadets passed, they would be considered battle-ready clone troopers. Bric followed El-Les and Colt as they prepared to watch Bravo Squad, a clone cadet squad trained by El-Les, that, according to Colt, passed their practice test in "ARC trooper time." On the observation deck, Bric, El-Les, and Colt watched the unit take and pass their test before Domino Squad.

During Domino Squad's test, Bric told El-Les to give the squad their next set of instructions for the test, and the Arcona bounty hunter relayed the instructions. However, Domino Squad failed to complete their task when one of their number was injured and left behind. After Domino Squad failed the test, the two bounty hunters left the testing chamber and proceeded into the clone barracks, where Bric was informed by El-Les that Ti would allow Domino Squad to retake their test. The decision troubled Bric, as he had already made a request to reassign Domino Squad to the city's maintenance crew due to their continuing struggles. Later that night, Bric called for CT-4040, a cadet from Domino Squad whom Bric believed was the reason the unit was failing. When the clone did not take him seriously, Bric pushed CT-4040 against the wall in an attempt to force the clone into aggression. However, their heated confrontation ended when Bric wanted the clone to leave his sight.

When it came time for Domino Squad's second attempt at the Citadel Challenge, Bric joined El-Les and Shaak Ti on the observation deck that overlooked the testing chamber. Prior to Domino Squad's test, Bric took out the ascension cables from the cadets' belts, an item that was needed for the test. Despite El-Les' efforts to stop the test as he saw Bric's actions as unfair, Domino Squad successfully used the Citadel tower's blaster turrets to scale it and pass the test. Impressed with the squad's ability to improvise, Ti told Bric that his aggressive actions brought out the best of Domino Squad. After their test, the two bounty hunters congratulated Domino Squad with their success and parted ways with the unit.

Personality and traits
"Jedi don't have the time to train grunts like you, that's why they hired me!"

- Bric, to Hevy

A stern, smart, and aggressive being, the battle-worn Siniteen bounty hunter Bric took a no-nonsense approach when it came to military training. During his time training the struggling Domino Squad, the Siniteen drill sergeant told the cadets of the squad he originally had "high hopes" for them, yet their repetitive failures and lack of teamwork caused Bric to lose faith in the squad's abilities. Unlike fellow bounty hunter El-Les, who cared for Domino Squad, Bric did not tolerate failure. The Siniteen told El-Les that he cared little for the struggling squad, and only cared about the payment that he would receive after Domino Squad's training. When Domino Squad cadet CT-4040 joined Bric in a hangar bay within Tipoca City, Bric did not hesitate to physically assault the cadet when the clone made humorous comments to him. It was then when Bric called CT-4040 "a real cutup," due to his sense of humor and inability to take anything as more than a joke. The clone began to nickname himself "Cutup" and thanked Bric for giving him the idea.

Before Domino Squad retook the Citadel Challenge test, Bric took the cadets' ascension cables from their belts prior to the test to challenge them. El-Les questioned Bric's actions, and he replied that only the best could pass the test, and that if Domino Squad wanted to pass they would have to improvise. The clones eventually succeeded by climbing the turrets of the Citadel building in the testing chamber. Bric was impressed with their efforts, and called the cadets "creative little clones." Bric's actions were acknowledged by Jedi Master Shaak Ti, who claimed it not only brought out the best of Domino Squad, but that the unit itself looked well-trained as well.
