99/Legends

"This is what I was bred for."

- 99

99, also known as Shorty, was a malformed clone of the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett who served the cloning facilities at Tipoca City on the planet Kamino during the Clone Wars.

Biography
Because he was a malformed clone, 99 was deemed to be unfit for service in the Grand Army of the Republic due to his limited physical abilities, and was assigned to perform janitorial duties in Kamino's cloning facilities.

He befriended the members of Domino Squad&mdash;which included cadets CT-782, CT-00-2010, CT-21-0408, CT-4040, and CT-27-5555. 99 even received a medal from CT-782 shortly after the latter's squad completed clone trooper training. During an attack launched against Tipoca City by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, 99 assisted clone troopers CT-21-0408, CT-27-5555, and a group of cadets against the invading droid forces. After meeting with CC-7567 and CC-2224, 99 assisted the captain and commander in defending the city. 99 was shot and killed by a battle droid while attempting to retrieve more explosives for use in combating the droids.

Personality and traits
99 was a dedicated and loyal member of the maintenance division of the Grand Army of the Republic, but was often looked down upon because of his deformity&mdash;while 99 respected and always remembered his brothers. 99 was also a source of wisdom and was able to develop a strong friendship with Hevy after talking him out of going AWOL. Despite his limitations, 99 was determined to protect his homeworld when it was invaded by the Confederacy of Independent Systems and delivered weaponry to the clone troopers despite the great risk to himself. Unfortunately, while trying to retrieve more explosives from the armory, he was shot several times and died seconds after.

Behind the scenes
99 was created for the third season of the television series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. He was first featured on a online assortment of trading cards on the website StarWars.com, and debuted in the episodes "Clone Cadets" and "ARC Troopers", both of which premiered on September 17, 2010. 99 was voiced by actor Dee Bradley Baker, who provides voicework for all of the series' clone characters. During the first airing of the episode "Clone Cadets" on Cartoon Network, Baker told an interviewer that 99 was one of his favorite clones.
