CT-6116

"Sir, as the team medic, when it comes to the health of the men, including you, I outrank everyone."

- Kix, to Captain Rex

CT-6116, nicknamed "Kix," was a clone trooper who served in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. He served as a medic in the 501st Legion, and participated in battles such as the Battle of Umbara. He discovered the Sith plot behind Order 66 and was captured by the Confederacy of Independent Systems for interrogation. He was locked in stasis for decades until he was discovered by a crew of pirates led by the Crimson Corsair. He recovered from his time in stasis and learned that the Sith had destroyed the Jedi Order, and that it had been many years since the Galactic Civil War. He joined the Crimson Corsair's crew as they used a decoded Separatist memory core to find lost Separatist bases from the war.

Search for Grevious
"Wait a minute, those critters are domesticated.''" "Sir?" "''I think we're on farmland, and where there is a farm, there is usually a farmer. Let's find his homestead."

- Jesse and Kix

Early on in the Clone Wars, the Jedi became increasingly desperate to capture the supreme commander of the Separatist droid army, General Grevious. After a battle occurred above the planet of Saleucami, he was forced to jettison from his ship in an escape pod, landing on the planet's surface. In an attempt to capture the general for good, Obi Wan Kenobi gathered a group of clones in order to follow them. The clones eventually discovered the wreckage of the ship, with CC-2224, nicknamed "Cody" noting and subsequently reporting to Kenobi that it had crashed recently. Kenobi then decided it would be best to split the group up into two teams, and left CT-7567, nicknamed "Rex", along with Kix, Jesse and Hardcase to search for the other missing escape pods, while he, Cody and Crys stayed behind to further investigate the crashed ship.

Each mounting their own BARC speeders, Kix's team searched through the wetlands of the planet for the remaining escape pods. Unbeknownst to them, two commando droids were watching them from afar, and utilizing a sniper rifle, shot at Rex, instantly knocking his off his speeder. Being their medic, Kix immediately swerved backwards to protect the unconscious captain, while Jesse and Hardcase followed the snipers. While Jesse and Hardcase destroyed the commando droids, Kix began examining his injuries, discovering that Rex was still alive, but it was severe and he had been shot 2 inches away from his heart. Deciding there was no way to continue their mission in the state they were in, they concluded that they were going to need to find some cover for the time being. Noting a domesticated Eopie standing behind them, he established that they were on farmland and so the group set off to find the farmer's homestead. Upon discovering a nearby homestead, they were greeted anxiously by a female Twi'lek, Suu, who proceeded to point her rifle at them. Kix and Jesse explained to her that were not there to bring harm, and instead simply needed a place for their injured captain to stay for the night. Suu gave them permission to stay, and allowed them to do so in the barn. Once inside, Kix patched up Rex's wound with a bacta bandage allowing for him to regain consciousness shortly after. As he awoke, Jesse and Hardcase informed him of what had ensued. Much to Rex's dismay, Kix told him he was in no condition to fight and continue their mission, and that he must have some rest. Not wanting to put the mission in jeopardy, Rex decided to give the responsibility of leading the group to Jesse. Kenobi then contacted the group through comlink, with Jesse responding and letting him know that Rex had been injured, and the group was now his responsibility. Kenobi then informed him that Grevious was heading for an abandoned, but still working escape pod, and ordered them to drive westward, so that could trap the general between the two squads.

Some time later, Jesse contacted Kenobi, telling him that he had a clear visual of the escape pod, and that Grevious had already arrived. Kenobi and his team had already managed to engage Grevious' forces on their own by the time Kix and his group had got there. As they shot at the battle droids on their speeders, Jesse noticed a Separatist shuttle arriving on the planet, and warned Kenobi via comlink. As it began coming closer, the AT-TE's guns overheated, and so Kenobi rushed to engage Grevious one on one. They dueled very briefly, before the shuttle came low enough to the ground for Grevious to fire a tow cable at it, managing to escape with the ship. While Kix remained with Hardcase on the speeders, Jesse and Cody returned to Kenobi's company, where he instructed them to contact the fleet to bring a shuttle to pick them up.

Battle of Umbara
Kix then went with Skywalker, Rex, and the rest of the 501st to retake Umbara from the Separatists and the Umbaran's Umbaran Militia. However, the 501st then fell under the command of Jedi General Pong Krell. Kix took part in the first attack on the Umbaran capital. After seeing Ringo and Oz killed by mines, Kix and the 501st were forced fallback away from the Capital.

After Krell and the 501st were ordered to take an airbase, Kix and many of the troopers agreed that Krell was wasting their lives on his failed strategies. Despite his objections, Kix went along with the rest of the 501st. After defeating the crawler tanks, Kix tried to save troopers from being killed by the mobile heavy cannons. However, Rex told him to worry about them later, much to Kix's disgust. During the fight, Kix tried take on one the MHCs, but was saved by Jesse. Kix and the rest of the 501st were then saved from the MHCS by Fives and Hardcase in Umbaran starfighters. He and the 501st were then able to take the airbase.

Kix then helped Jesse, Fives, and Hardcase in working the starfighters. Following the mission's success, Kix was among the firing squad ordered by Krell to execute Jesse and Fives for their insubordination. However, he chose not carry out the order. Jesse then went with Rex and the 501st to take on Umbarans disguised as clones. However, they realized that they were firing on a platoon from the 212th. Kix then treated the platoon's leader, Waxer, before he died. Realizing that Krell was committing treason against the Republic, Kix chose to support Rex's mutiny to arrest Krell. Kix and the other clones tried to surround Krell, but he escaped into the jungle. However, Krell was arrested and then executed by Dogma. Umbaran was also taken despite this.

Following the battle, Kix then went with Skywalker to Kiros. There, Kix treated clones wounded by Separatist commander, Darts D'Nar's bombs.

Battle of Kiros
"I need a medic over here!"

- Anakin Skywalker, calling for Kix's help

The Biochip Conspiracy
During the Ringo Vinda campaign, Kix fought along Skywalker, Jedi Generals Tiplar, Tiplee, and their troops to take the station from Admiral Trench's forces. However, during the battle, one of the troopers, Tup, killed Tiplar and became violently ill. Kix checked him out, but found nothing. He recommended that Tup be sent to Kamino for full examination.

Following the Ringo Vinda campaign, Kix and the 501st were sent back to Coruscant. There Kix, along with Jesse, went to 79's. In the bathroom, Kix then met up with Fives, who was accused of attempted murder of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. There, Kix was asked by Fives to speak with Skywalker and Rex at coordinates given to him by Fives.

Battle for Anaxes
During the Battle for Anaxes, Kix, Rex, and Jesse were assigned to a mission under the command of Commander Cody to go behind enemy lines and assault a Separatist data center to determine if the enemy had a copy of Rex's strategy algorithm. Joining them on the mission was Clone Force 99, also known as the Bad Batch. On the way to the data center, the team's gunship was shot down by a DSD1 dwarf spider droid. Cody was injured in the crash, and Kix began treating his injures while the Bad Batch destroyed a droid force that came to finish them off. After they moved away from the crash site, Rex called in an extraction unit for Cody, but the troopers of the 501st and the Bad Batch disagreed on how to proceed. Kix entered into an altercation with Crosshair after attempting to stop Wrecker from choking Jesse. Rex and Sergeant Hunter calmed their men down, and Rex ordered Kix to stay with Cody to continue treating his injuries while the rest of the team proceeded on to complete their mission.

Plot to destroy the Jedi
"I learned something... something horrible. Fives knew... He's the one who figured it all out after Tup... and it got him killed. But I kept investigating. They said it was a virus..."

- Kix recalling what he had learned shortly after being rescued from stasis

Some time after the Battle of Anaxes, Kix began questioning the so-called virus, that fellow clone trooper, Tup had contracted which caused him to shoot and kill Jedi Master Tiplar. He began conducting his own further investigations into the matter after he discovered that Fives had discovered the truth before his untimely death. Kix was eventually able to discover the truth for himself, learning that the bio-chip implanted in every clone soldier's head could send out an order from the Chancellor directly to betray and kill the Jedi. His investigations did not go unnoticed however, as Count Dooku, the public leader of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and apprentice to Darth Sidious, took note of it, and ordered for his kidnapping before he was able to share his knowledge with the Jedi. They captured him, and began interrogating him to find out, if anybody else in the Republic knew of the information. Believing the trooper to be deceiving them, the Separatists planned to send him to the Sith themselves and in turn brought him on board a Separatist Providence-class dreadnaught, known as the Obrexta III. On the ship, he was frozen and and inserted into a cryo-cycle stasis pod where he would remain until the ship arrived on Serenno. As the cruiser took off, it was ambushed by Republic forces who had discovered about Kix's kidnapping. With little chances to raise the shields, the Republic fleet made easy work of the cruiser, resulting in heavy damage. A B1-class battle droid known as B1-CC14 fell to the conclusion that the ship was in no shape to go to Serenno, as well as being on strict orders for Kix to not fall into the hands of the Republic by any costs. With no other options in sight, the droid made the decision to jump through hyperspace to a random sector in the galaxy, where the Republic would have no chance in finding it.

The jump transported the ship, along with it's cargo, Kix to the desert planet, Ponemah where it inevitably crashed on the surface. The ship, along with B1-CC14, and all the droids on it lost their his power as a result of the crash, where they would remain lifeless for many years to come. Although Count Dooku was never able to actually deal with Kix personally, he was never able to tell the Jedi the truth of the bio-chips in the clone troopers, and Order 66 was carried out, with the subsequent extermination of the Jedi. Kix lay in stasis, and the ship remained untouched for the next 50 years.

Re-awakening from stasis
"That was certainly priceless information, Pendewqell. I bet the Galactic Republic will be super happy now that they can stop the Emperor from rising to power. Probably save the galaxy a whole lot of lives, too. Maybe we can go to the Jedi Council and get a nice fat reward! So all we need to do now is travel back in time! What do you say-?"

- Quiggold sarcastically remarks to Pendewqell after discovering the secret treasure was actually Kix



Exactly 50 standard years after the end of the Clone Wars, the Delphidian pirate, Sidon Ithano and his crew of the Meson Martinet resided in a cantina on the desert world of Ponemah, the very planet that the Obrexata III crash landed on many years prior. There, the crew of pirates managed to decode an old transmission, dating back to the Clone Wars from the Separatist battle droid, B1-CC14 who was desperately attempting to send out a distress signal. In his message, he mentioned very important cargo belonging to Count Dooku himself. Instantly recognizing that the signal must have come from the crashed Separatist ship on Ponemah, the Sidon Ithano and the crew of the Meson Marinet set off, to claim the treasure for themselves. It was not only Sidon Ithano's crew that knew of Count Dooku's treasure however, as various other pirate groups, gangs and raiders operating on the planet were also able to decode the transmission, and so, the race was on to get there first, with none of them actually knowing that the so-called treasure was infact, the Clone trooper Kix - still frozen in stasis and very much alive all these years later.

On route to the downed Separatist ship, the various different groups clashed, with a huge battle taking place at one point, between Sidon Ithano's crew and a swoop biker gang known as the Gray Gundarks. Sidon Ithano and his crew narrowly won, the skirmish, and were the first to arrive at the ship. They were able to race through the various corridors of the ship with ease, as they came up to the ship's vault. The group were shocked upon finding no treasure, and instead a cryo-cycle stasis pod. With nothing left to lose, they decided to awaken the pod, and even more shockingly, Kix emerged. He seemed startled and shell-shocked, finding it hard to breathe properly and gasping for air. He immediately began rambling, and muttering - attempting to inform the pirates on what had happened. He explained to them that he had learned a terrible truth about his fellow clone troopers, which was that the bio-chip implanted in their heads - supposedly to stop them from being controlled, was actually in place to command and force the clones with complying to betray and kill their Jedi generals. He described how the Separatists found out that he knew, and kidnapped him, subsequently torturing him and later putting him into the very stasis pod he had been found in. Not knowing of how long he had been frozen for, Kix requested that the pirates transport him to the Republic, so he could inform General Anakin Skywalker and save the Jedi from their inevitable fate. And with that, Kix slipped into a state of unconsciousness.

As this was happening, B1-CC14 briefly re-awoke after a sudden surge of energy sparked its power receptors. The droid immediately realized with his only remaining good sensor that the vault where Kix was being stored had been broken into. Upon remembering his last orders, which were that Kix could not escape, no matter the cost - B1-CC14 triggered the emergency activation systems with his last ebb of energy, which caused a contingent of super battle droids to be signaled to the intruders location. The ship subsequently began falling apart, with the Crimson Corsair ordering that he and his crew leave immediately, taking the unconscious Kix with them. The droids were able to shoot and kill the Ishi-Tib pirate, Pendequell, while the rest of the crew headed towards the escape pods while still carrying Kix. There was only one problem, and that was that there was only 1 escape pod, and not enough room for the entire crew. Sidon Ithano bravely shoved his fellow pirates, as well as the still unconscious Kix into the escape pod, then launching the pod into the sand, while he stayed behind in the doomed cruiser.

Over three weeks after the crew of the Meson Martinet retrieved Kix from the Separatist ship instead of the riches and treasures they had desired, they still remained on Ponemah, waiting for their captain to return. Kix was still in deep shock over the many revelations of Galactic history he had learned since awakening, being particularly saddened that he was never able to save the Jedi and the Republic from their fate. Just as they planned to leave the desert world, Ithano suddenly appeared - alive and well. He waved away questions, and handed the Separatist cruiser's memory core to Kix, which contained a complete map to every hidden factory ever built by the Separatists. And with that, Kix agreed to join the Crimson Corsair's crew to scour the galaxy together discovering new treasures together.
