CC-4477/Legends

CC-4477, also known as Thire, was a clone trooper commander in charge of the elite shock troopers during the Clone Wars.

Clone Wars service


Thire served under Yoda during the Battle of Rugosa, with his men, Jek, and Rys.

Commander Thire led Supreme Chancellor Palpatine's shock troopers during the height of the Clone Wars. As the war intensified, Thire's shock troopers were tasked with the protection of the capital planet, Coruscant.

Together with Republic Intelligence Director Armand Isard, the two founded Homeworld Security Command in an effort to centralize and streamline the defense of Coruscant should an attack ever come. A part of Thire, however, always felt as though the Republic would never be able to muster a reliable defense of Coruscant.

Thire's worst fears were realized when General Grievous launched a surprise attack on the capital in the early hours of the morning. Thire's men, in conjunction with Commander Appo's 501st Legion, did their best to keep the Confederacy's droid forces from taking the Senate District. While they were able to halt the Separatist advance, they were powerless to stop the abduction of the Chancellor by Grievous and his MagnaGuards.

Order 66
The execution of Order 66 and the 501st's assault on the Jedi Temple brought about the end of the Clone Wars. After an epic battle in the Senate Rotunda between Emperor Palpatine and the Jedi Master Yoda, the Emperor tasked Thire and his men to scour the bowels of the Senate, looking for any sign of the diminutive Jedi, but they weren't able to find a trace of him.

Rise of the Empire
As the Empire's noose around the galaxy tightened, Thire saw his shock troopers transformed into the dreaded Coruscant Guard.

Behind the scenes
Thire was voiced by Temuera Morrison in Revenge of the Sith.
