―Captain Jag before killing Plo Koon —

Jag, also identified with the designation CT-55/11-9009, was a clone trooper captain and pilot, who flew as Jedi General Plo Koon's wingman in the final hours of the Clone Wars. Born on the planet Kamino as a clone of the bounty hunter Jango Fett, Jag was trained to fight for the Galactic Republic as a part of its navy. In 19 BBY, Jag fought alongside Plo Koon and the 442nd Siege Battalion to capture Cato Neimoidia, in his ARC-170 starfighter. After successfully defeating Separatist forces occupying the planet, Jag was issued Order 66 by the Sith Lord Darth Sidious. Without hesitation, Jag opened fire on Koon's Delta-7 Aethersprite-class light interceptor, killing the Jedi Master and fulfilling his part in the Great Jedi Purge.
