CT-5597

"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

CT-5597, nicknamed "Jesse," was a clone trooper who served in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars as a part of the 501st Legion. Sometime after the Inhibitor chip crisis, Jesse became an ARC trooper.

History
Jesse was a clone of the bounty Jango Fett who became a soldier in the Grand Army of the Galactic Republic's 501st Legion.

Battle of Saleucami
Jesse then went with a squad of the 501st to track down Separatist General Grievous on Saleucami. When Captain Rex was wounded by a pair of commando droid snipers, Jesse saw that they were on farmland and decided to take Rex to the farmstead. There, they met a Twi'lek woman named Suu, who allowed them to leave Rex there to recuperate. Jesse was then left in charge of the squad. He then continued through the wetlands to rendezvous with Jedi General Kenobi and Commander Cody's AT-TEs. Jesse and his squad then tried to shoot down a shuttle that was trying to pick up Grievous. However, they failed in stopping Grievous from escaping.

Battle of Umbara
Jesse then went with the 501st when the Republic launched their attack to retake Umbara. However, during the battle the 501st fell under the commander of Jedi General Pong Krell. During their first attempt to take the Capital, Jesse and the rest of the 501st were forced to fallback.

When they ordered to take an Umbaran airbase, Jesse, along with Fives, were a few that spoke against Krell's disastrous tactics. Jesse then held his ground as against the Umbaran militia's mobile heavy cannons till Fives and Hardcase were able to destroy them. After establishing camp at the airbase Jesse, Fives and Hardcase then worked on the starfighters, breaking the Umbarans' codes. When Krell was launch an attack on the Capital that would result in heavy casualties, Jesse agreed with Fives that they could use the starfighter to blow up the Separatist supply ship. However, when Krell refused to agree their plan, Jesse continued to work on the starfighters with Fives and Hardcase. However, Krell stopped them and insisted that they concentrate on their attack. Thus, Jesse, Fives, and Hardcase decided to attack the supply ship themselves, without Krell's support. However they told, Rex about their plan, but he warned them that he would not be able to protect them if they were caught. Jesse, Fives, and Hardcase then took the star fighters, posing as a recon patrol, and made their way into the supply ship. However, they were unable to destroy the core with it's shields up. Jesse and Fives then watched as Hardcase took a torpedo from his fighter, rammed it into the core, and then killed himself to complete the mission. Jesse and Fives were then taken to General Krell, where he had them punished and sent to the brig.

Jesse and Fives were then sentence to be executed for disobeying Krell's orders. However, Rex and the firing squad refused to carry out his orders, and they were placed back in the brig. They were then freed by Rex, when he realized that Krell had set them up to attack the 212th Battalion squad under Waxer. Jesse, Rex, and the other clones then stormed the command center to arrest Krell for treason. However, Krell escaped into the jungle. Jesse, Rex, Fives and the other clones were then able to capture Krell, who revealed that he was a Separtist agent. Jesse then agreed with Fives and Rex that he should be executed. He then watched as Krell was executed by Dogma.

Following the battle on Ringo Vinda, Jesse and Kix then went to 79's cantina, where Kix was given coordinates by Fives, who was wanted for attempted murder of Chancellor Palpatine. He then informed Rex and General Skywalker of this. Jesse then became ARC trooper.

Battle for Anaxes
Jesse continued to fight alongside Skywalker, Rex and the 501st along with clone force 99 (the bad batch) and later won the battle.
