- "Multiple laser hits sent Koon's Jedi starfighter plunging into the heart of the bridge city, destroying a clone staging area (see casualty reports labeled CT-8770 through CT-8910)."

CT-8910 was one[3] of many clones of the Human male bounty hunter Jango Fett created on the planet Kamino to fight in the Grand Army of the Republic. Like Fett, CT-8910 stood 1.83 meters tall.[1] During the Clone Wars, CT-8910 served the Galactic Republic as a clone trooper.[3] In 19 BBY,[2] he participated in a battle on the planet Cato Neimoidia and was stationed in a clone staging area located in one of the planet's bridge cities. During the battle, the clone troopers on Cato Neimoidia were issued Order 66, a command that told them to kill their Jedi General Plo Koon. Koon's Delta-7 Aethersprite-class light interceptor was shot down and crashed into the clone staging area, killing CT-8910[3] and 140 other clone troopers.[4] Moff Marcellin Wessel reported on CT-8910's death to Emperor Palpatine of the Galactic Empire that had replaced the Galactic Republic.[3]
