"Tup" was the nickname of a clone trooper who served in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. He was one of the many clones created for the Grand Army of the Republic by the Kaminoans using Jango Fett's genetic template. He served with the 501st Legion during a battle on Umbara during the end of the Clone Wars.

Biography
Around 21 BBY, Tup was part of the 501st Legion of the Grand Army of the Republic. As Umbara seceded from the Republic and joined the Seperatists, the Republic launched a massive invasion to prevent advanced weapons technology from falling into enemy hands. Tup served under Jedi General Anakin Skywalker and Captain Rex as the 501st participated in the opening of the massive battle. The 501st's goal was to help capture the capital of Umbara.

As the Gunships carrying the 501st landed, they were met by heavy resistance from the native Umbaran Militia. After the 501st had beaten back the initial wave and established a foothold on enemy turf, the soldiers were allowed a short time to rest before pushing on to the capital. This rest was interrupted however by an Umbaran ambush at the rear of their defences and forced them to retreat off the ridge they had been resting on.

Before the 501st could move out and try to take the capital, General Skywalker was called back to Coruscant at the request of Supreme Chancelor Palpatine and replaced by Jedi General Pong Krell.

After marching for 12 hours straight, Krell modified the original plan and sent Captain Rex and a couple of platoons down a main road leading to the capital of Umbara. Many clones questioned this plan, among them Tup. Their fears were confirmed when mines and an Umbaran ambush caused Rex to order the retreat so they could draw the enemy out so the 501st could see and shoot them. Reluctantly Krell sent in some reserve clones and some AT-RT drivers in to aid the retreating platoons. The clones managed to hold their ground and beat off the attacking Umbarans but the plan to capture the capital via the main road had been compromised.
