Fixer, also identified by the number RC-1140, was an elite clone commando of the Galactic Republic who served as the second-in-command of Delta Squad, a special forces unit within the Grand Army of the Republic that was active during the Clone Wars. Due to his extreme focus on military regulations, he would use the operating numbers of his comrades instead of their chosen names during missions. Fixer served as the squad's second-in-command following Clone Sergeant Boss. Delta Squad participated in some of the most dangerous missions of the war, including retrieving the bodies of Jedi General Halsey and Padawan Knox.
Biography[]
Clone commando RC-1140, who became known by the name Fixer,[1] was clone grown on the planet Kamino from the DNA of the bounty hunter Jango Fett.[2] Fixer served as a commando within the Grand Army of the Republic and earned his name because of his skills as a slicer.[1] He participated in the pan-galactic Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems,[3] serving as the second-in-command of the special forces unit Delta Squad.[1]
Delta Squad participated in some of the war's most dangerous missions.[1] At one point, Fixer and his squad-mates were tasked with securing territory and deployed directly from a Low Altitude Assault Transport/infantry gunship to enter the battle.[4] In another instance, Fixer and the rest of Delta Squad were dispatched to the planet Devaron in the aftermath of the massacre that took place there and recovered the bodies of Jedi General Halsey and Padawan Knox, and returned them to Coruscant. The squad was met on the landing platform by Jedi High Council members Obi-Wan Kenobi, Plo Koon, Saesee Tiin, and Adi Gallia, who noted that the massacre was of similar caliber of the damage done by Asajj Ventress who was presumed dead. Security footage of the battle was recovered and included a hologram of Halsey's death at the hands of Savage Opress, who was unknown to the Jedi and the Republic at that time.[3]
