CC-1993, nicknamed "Jet," was a clone trooper commander in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars who served under Jedi General Ki-Adi-Mundi. In 21 BBY, Jet and Mundi were part of a Republic armada sent to reconquer the Outer Rim planet Geonosis, site of the first battle of the war and home to the Geonosians. The main aim of Jet and the Republic troops&mdash;which also consisted of Jedi Generals Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, as well as their respective clone forces&mdash;was to destroy the planet's droid factories, which included the primary droid foundry maintained by Archduke Poggle the Lesser. After departing from their capital ships in LAAT/i gunships, Jet, Mundi, and their forces met heavy resistance from the Geonosian defensive flak.

In a short time, the Republic force was decimated, and the gunship carrying Jet and Mundi crashed. After the crash, Mundi decided to make their way to the staging area by going through a cave and to later rendezvous with Kenobi at the Republic staging area. Although Jet, Mundi, and their troops encountered fierce resistance by winged Geonosian warriors in the cave, they were able to get through to the other side, where they met Skywalker's forces. Jet, the Jedi, and the combined clone forces then proceeded toward the staging area and, with bomber support, helped Kenobi and his forces defeat the enemy troops. Afterward, Jet and the Republic forces attacked the enemy shield generator, destroying it and securing the way to Poggle's primary droid foundry.
