17

"Hey Three-Five, check it out: commandos.''" "''If they're anything as good as I hear, they can practically win the war themselves&hellip;"

- 17 and 35, upon spotting RC-1138

17 was a clone trooper who served in the Republic's army during the Clone Wars against a separatist group known as the Confederacy of Independent Systems. In 22 BBY during the First Battle of Geonosis, he and fellow trooper 35 greeted the clone commando RC-1138, before assisting two other clones in defending a barricade against separatist B1 battle droids.

Biography
Hatched on the planet Kamino by the Kaminoans, 17 was a clone of a Mandalorian bounty hunter known as Jango Fett. He served in the Galactic Republic's Grand Army during the Clone Wars against the Confederacy of Independent Systems, a separatist group that attempted to secede from the Republic. In 22 BBY he was deployed in a battle on the planet Geonosis, which was the first conflict of the Clone Wars.

He and fellow trooper 35 greeted the clone commando RC-1138&mdash;known as "Boss"&mdash;when he approached the troopers. 17 pointed Boss out to his companion, who responded by praising the highly skilled commandos, remarking that they could defeat the Separatist forces alone. 17 and 35 then joined two other clone troopers in defending a barricade from Confederate B1 battle droids. The droids blew through a wall to avoid the barricade, killing one of the troopers. Boss, 17, 35 and the other surviving clone defended and defeated the attacking droids, pushing them back to a gun emplacement.

Personality and traits
17 was 1.83 meters tall like all clones of Jango Fett.

Equipment
Like many clones at the time, 17 wore white Phase I clone trooper armor and was armed with a DC-15S blaster.
