"Get yourselves to the escape pods. I will deal with Grievous here.''" "But sir, they're commando droids!" "''That does not matter, Captain. Now go!"

- Eeth Koth and Lock

"Lock" was the nickname of a clone trooper captain serving under Jedi General Eeth Koth during the Clone Wars. Around 22 BBY, deep in the Outer Rim Territories, Koth's Venator-class Star Destroyer, with Lock onboard, was attacked by Confederate forces including General Grievous's Separatist destroyer. After a short space battle, Grievous ship forced Koth's vessel into submission. Captain Lock and some of his troops assumed defensive positions at one of the Star Destroyer's airlocks, shortly before B2 super battle droids used an armored docking tube to board the cruiser. Lock and his troops fought the intruders but were swiftly overrun. Koth then contacted Lock, asking for a status report, and after Lock gave it to him the Jedi Master ordered the captain and his men to board the escape pods.

Biography
The clone trooper captain nicknamed Lock, like all clone troopers, was born and raised on the Wild Space planet Kamino to serve in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. Around 22 BBY, Lock served under Jedi General Eeth Koth. Deep in the Outer Rim Territories, Koth's Venator-class Star Destroyer, with Lock onboard, was attacked by a fleet consisting of three Munificent-class star frigates and a Separatist destroyer under the command of General Grievous, Supreme Commander of the Confederate troops.

After a short exchange of broadside fire, Grievous destroyer forced Koth's warship into submission. Lock and his troops prepared defensive positions at one of the ships airlocks in order to repel the enemy forces. Shortly after this B2 super battle droids used an armored docking tube to board the cruiser and poured into the Republic vessel. A firefight ensued between the battle droids and Lock's men, but the clone troopers were overrun. During this, the captain was contacted by Koth, who demanded a status report. Lock reported that they couldn't hold their position any longer and the Zabrak Jedi Master ordered the troopers to the escape pods. Lock warned Koth of the advancing commando droids before obeying the order.

Personality and traits
Lock was a loyal clone trooper and obeyed the orders given to him by his Jedi General. Although he and his troops did their best, they were unable to stop the super battle droids from boarding the ship. He also cared for Koth and warned the Jedi of the enemy commando droids. In combat, Lock used a DC-15S blaster and wore a Phase I clone trooper armor with green markings.
