Shadow Seven/Legends

"Shadows Six, Seven, and Ten were caught in the ray."

- Ahsoka Tano

Serving in the Republic Navy during the Clone Wars, "Shadow Seven" was the call sign of a clone trooper pilot who flew a BTL-B Y-wing starfighter in Shadow Squadron around 22 BBY. When the Galactic Republic learned about the Confederate battleship Malevolence, Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker came up with a plan to stop the cruiser from destroying the Kaliida Shoals Medical Center. The Jedi General led Shadow Squadron, including Shadow Seven, through the Kaliida Nebula in order to arrive at the medcenter before the Malevolence. Upon reaching their target, the squadron was forced to evade an ion ray launched by the battleship; Shadow Seven was one of the pilots caught in the ray, leaving his bomber disabled in space.

Biography
The clone trooper pilot using the call sign "Shadow Seven" served in Shadow Squadron, a starfighter unit in the Republic Navy. A clone of the bounty hunter Jango Fett, Shadow Seven born on the planet Kamino. Around the first year of the Clone Wars, the Galactic Republic learned about the Malevolence, a Subjugator-class heavy cruiser, after the battleship had destroyed a task force in the Abregado system. Jedi General Anakin Skywalker devised a plan to stop the Malevolence, which possessed twin ion cannons capable of neutralizing the power of enemy starships. After the Confederate cruiser, commanded by General Grievous, destroyed a Republic medical convoy in the Ryndellia system, the Jedi Knight assumed that the Malevolence was on its way to the Kaliida Shoals Medical Center, where over 60,000 wounded clone troopers were being treated. Skywalker, together with his Padawan Ahsoka Tano and Jedi Master Plo Koon, would lead Shadow Squadron, including Shadow Seven, to a shortcut through the Kaliida Nebula in order to arrive at the medcenter before the Malevolence.

Piloting recently-acquired BTL Y-wing starfighters, Shadow Seven and his fellow pilots departed from the Venator-class Star Destroyer Resolute. Before jumping to hyperspace, Skywalker contacted all pilots, who checked in with the General. Shadow Squadron eventually emerged from hyperspace, and the Jedi Knight led the unit in to the Kaliida Nebula. Skywalker, however, was unaware of the space neebrays inhabiting the nebula, but the squadron was able to evade the massive creatures without taking any casualties. Shadow Seven and the rest of Shadow Squadron piloted their bombers out from the nebula, arriving at the Kaliida Shoals Medical center. However, the Malevolence emerged from hyperspace and approached the medical station, and Skywalked led the squadron toward the battleship. Several Vulture droid starfighters were launched from the Malevolence to engage the approaching Republic starfighters, and Grievous ordered the crew of the ship to fire one of the ion cannons despite of the Confederate starfighters. As the ion ray approached Shadow Squadron, the clone trooper pilots took evasive actions, however, Shadow Seven was unable to pilot away his Y-wing starfighter in time. His fighter was left disabled in space, while the remains of the squadron continued its attack on the Malevolence, eventually crippling its starboard ion cannon.

Personality and traits
When the Malevolence fired one of its ion cannons toward Shadow Squadron during the Battle of the Kaliida Nebula, Shadow Seven was unable to evade the ion ray in time, leaving his starfighter disabled in space.
