Biography[]
- "What happened, sergeant? Get her back."
"I can't sir. Too much interference from enemy artillery" - ―Skywalker asks the sergeant to re-establish contact with Padmé Amidala
During the Clone Wars, this clone trooper held the rank of sergeant[2] in the Grand Army of the Republic,[1] and in 22 BBY,[3] he participated in a battle on a planet. At that battle, the Galactic Republic forces—under the command of Jedi General Anakin Skywalker; his Padawan, Jedi Commander Ahsoka Tano; and Captain Rex—employed AV-7 Antivehicle Cannons against enemy artillery.[2]
After the Republic troops received news of a coup on the planet Rodia, the sergeant was able to establish contact with Senator Padmé Amidala on the planet. Conversing with Amidala through a hololink, Skywalker discovered that she had captured Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray, who was to be transferred to the galactic capital of Coruscant to stand trial for war crimes.[2]
Suddenly, the transmission was interrupted, and Skywalker asked the sergeant to reestablish the contact. The clone, however, could not do so because of interference from enemy artillery. Worried for Amidala's safety, Skywalker then sent Tano to help oversee the transfer of Gunray.[2]
Personality and traits[]
Like all clone troopers, the sergeant had the height of 1.83 meters.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
The clone sergeant appeared in The Clone Wars: Transfer, an issue of the weekly The Clone Wars web comic series written by Pablo Hidalgo, illustrated by Katie Cook,[2] and released on December 4, 2008.[4]

- ↑ The Essential Reader's Companion dates the Star Wars: The Clone Wars film and The Clone Wars: Secret Missions 4: Guardians of the Chiss Key to 22 BBY. In addition, in Guardians of the Chiss Key, Count Dooku mentions a recent run-in with a group of Weequay pirates, which refers in part to the events of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars episode "The Gungan General." Since Star Wars: The Clone Wars Chronological Episode Order on StarWars.com (backup link) places "Cloak of Darkness" between The Clone Wars film and "The Gungan General," it can be concluded that "Cloak of Darkness" also takes place in 22 BBY. The Clone Wars: Transfer takes place immediately prior to "Cloak of Darkness," placing it in 22 BBY as well.
