Stripe " Stripe " was the nickname of a clone trooper who served in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars . He was recognized among his brothers by a white - colored stripe on his naturally black hair . In 22 BBY , he was stationed at a Republic tracking station in the Pastil system that was assigned to warn the Republic of any impending Separatist attacks . During an inspection of the base by Clone Commander CC - 2224 and Clone Captain CT - 7567 , an MSE - series droid nicknamed " Rodent " that helped the clones maintain the station was revealed to be an undercover spy . Stripe helped the officers find the droid , and when the droid turned out to be merely a shell for the droid ' s wheels , which were individual droids on their own , he helped to hunt down and destroy all them , successfully eliminating the spy threat to the station . Biography . Early life . The clone trooper nicknamed " Stripe " was born on the Wild Space planet of Kamino . Like all of his brothers , he was a clone of the famous bounty hunter Jango Fett , born and trained to fight for the Grand Army of the Republic . However , the escalating Clone Wars relentlessly demanded more troopers to fight in the Republic army , and many younger clones — including Stripe — were rushed into service before completing their intensive training . Stripe was assigned to a remote tracking station on the Outer Rim planet of Pastil , that was supposed to warn the Republic Navy in case of an attack by the Confederacy of Independent Systems . Service at the Pastil station . In addition to a contingent of at least five clone troopers , the Pastil tracking station was also maintained by an MSE - series droid nicknamed " Rodent " by the clones . In 22 BBY , the Pastil station was inspected by Clone Commander CC - 2224 and Clone Captain CT - 7567 , nicknamed " Cody " and " Rex " respectively . While Cody reminded the " rookies " of the importance of their seemingly boring duty , Rex noted that the station looked unusually clean . Stripe explained to his superior officers that Rodent spent a significant amount of time polishing the station , and that the clones believed the droid to have a glitch in its programming . The inspecting officers , however , immediately noticed the droid ' s action as traits of a spy and issued a Code Aurek alert on the station . Captain Rex ordered the clone troopers to comb the station and find the droid by whatever means necessary . During the search , fellow clone trooper " Bouncer " wondered whether the officers did this at every inspection , but Stripe replied and told Bouncer not to ask stupid questions . When the droid was finally spotted , Rex shot at it with his blaster . After the droid ' s body was destroyed , its four " wheels " activated and ran off in different directions , much to the surprise of the rookie troopers . Two of the four wheels were destroyed by the clone troopers , and Stripe disabled the third one by directing electrical energy from a loose wire at it . Stripe then noticed that the fourth wheel droid was heading toward a grate and realized that if it escaped , it would be impossible to find . Determined to stop the spy , Stripe threw a V - 1 thermal detonator at the grate , destroying both the droid and a solid portion of the station ' s interior . When Captain Rex asked Stripe if such a radical solution was necessary , Stripe proudly responded that the clones did not leave anything half - done . Rex then told the troopers to clean up the mess caused by the thermal detonator ' s explosion before departing along with Cody . With the spy neutralized , Cody later reported to High Jedi General Obi - Wan Kenobi that the Pastil station was fully operational . Personality and traits . Stripe had a white dyed stripe in his naturally black hair . The trooper was loyal to the Republic , and although he initially didn ' t realize Rodent was a spy , he took Rex ' s Code Aurek alert seriously , telling Bouncer not to ask stupid questions when the latter mused that the alert was a simple drill . Stripe later improvised a plan to disable a wheel droid with electrical energy from a loose wire . When seeing that another wheel droid was about to escape , Stripe decided to stop it by using a thermal detonator , even if it meant damaging the station ' s interior . When asked by a superior officer if he considered his actions to be overkill , Stripe proudly responded that as a clone he never left anything half - done . Behind the scenes .
