Training on Kamino[edit | edit source]
- "You're a real cutup, aren't you?!"
- ―Bric giving CT-4040 his name

A clone of the bounty hunter Jango Fett,[1] CT-4040[5] was born on the planet Kamino.[1]
A member of Domino Squad, CT-4040 and his fellow clone troopers were on the verge of being assigned sanitation duty as a result of poor performance in tests. CT-4040 was blamed for the squad's failure, and after a fierce confrontation with drill instructor Bric, he received the nickname "Cutup." His squad was ultimately commissioned to fight in the ongoing Clone Wars.[4]
Rishi Station[edit | edit source]
- "You wanted excitement, Hevy."
"Right. Oo-ooh, meteor shower." - ―Cutup and Hevy, with Hevy being sarcastic to Cutup's remark
The escalating war demanded more troops and many inexperienced clones—including Cutup—were pushed into service before their intensive training could be completed. Cutup and his Domino Squad mates were stationed at a listening post called Rishi Station, located on the Rishi moon.[3] In 22 BBY,[2] as part of their plan to attack the clone troopers' homeworld Kamino, the Confederacy of Independent Systems launched a surprise assault on Rishi Station. As BX-series droid commandos stormed the listening post, Cutup and his clone brethren were forced to flee through a ventilation shaft. During the escape, a Rishi eel appeared and attacked Cutup, killing him. The remaining clone troopers eventually managed to alert the Galactic Republic about the Separatist attack, thwarting a possible invasion of Kamino.[3]
