CT-782/Legends

Hevy was the nickname of a clone trooper who served in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. He was given the name because he was the heavy weapons expert of the base. He participated in the Battle of Rishi moon, where he sacrificed himself to warn the Republic of an impending Separatist invasion of Kamino.

Biography


A rookie clone trooper, or "shinie", Hevy was stationed in a remote listening post on the Rishi moon that warned Kamino of any attacks. While he and the rest of the troopers were on duty, they decided to slack off since nothing ever passed their way. They turned on a HoloNet program, Grand Army of the Republic broadcast and stopped monitoring the scanners. Their "break" only lasted until sergeant O'Niner, their commanding officer, walked in and reminded them that the station was due for inspection that day. At that time, a meteor shower began and in its shadow, several pods carrying BX-series droid commandos from the Confederacy of Independent Systems landed on the moon. The battle droids attacked the base so the intrusion into the Kamino system by General Greivous's fleet would not be reported so they could surprise to the Republic. The initial assault killed four of the clone troopers, including O'Niner.

Hevy, along with Echo, Cutup, and Fives managed to escape the commando droids by crawling through a ventilation duct. He, with the others witnessed the death of Cutup when a Rishi eel attacked them. When Commander Cody and Captain Rex arrived for an inspection, they met the survivors and came up with a plan to retake the base. The plan succeeded, but when Separatist reinforcements arrived, it was decided to create a massive detonator which would destroy the station, and thus alert the Republic fleet that the Separatists were preparing for the invasion of Kamino.



When droid reinforcements appeared over the station, he utilized a Z-6 rotary blaster cannon to hold them off. He, along with Commander Cody and Fives, took on the coming droids. He alone took out the first squad but then they were in need to retreat because of the large number of droids. When Rex's attempts to fix the detonator failed, Hevy suggested that he try to fix the bomb which was supposed to destroy the station, and covered his squad as they escaped. Staying behind after being unable to fix the remote detonator, he destroyed several droids before ultimately being severely injured when attempting to reach the detonator on the bomb itself. Though the rest of his squad were returning to the outpost to extract him, he made one last move for the detonator and triggered it, destroying the station and the droid reinforcements with it, and killing himself.

His sacrifice disabled the all-clear signal broadcast, not only informing the Republic fleet of the attack on the base but also of the upcoming attack on Kamino, saving countless lives.

Personality and traits
"You wanted excitement, Hevy." "Right. Oo-ooh, meteor shower."

- Hevy being sarcastic to Cutup's remark

Hevy was a clone of the bounty hunter Jango Fett in the service of the Galactic Republic's Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars conflict between the Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. He was stationed on the Rishi moon with a group of other troopers to monitor their airspace for CIS ships heading for an assault on Kamino, where the clones were being produced. He was sarcastic and was constantly trying to show his strengths and abilities to the other clone troopers despite his status as a shinie or new trooper, usually by voicing his opinion. He also challenged the others to arm wrestling matches under the impression it was only to pass the time and constantly claim he wanted "to get into the action." Hevy was recognizable by tattoos on either side of his face, from the back of the neck to the cheeks.

Behind the scenes
Hevy's character was first revealed in a storyboard for the upcoming Clone Wars TV series shown on StarWars.com.

In the premiere of "Rookies", Hevy is heard saying the word "hell" once. This would be censored in the episode's second airing due to complaints from parents.

In the Italian version of the episode Rookies, Heavy is actually called Bulldog.
