CC - 1004 / Legends CC - 1004 was a clone trooper commander in the Grand Army of the Republic . Possessed of a keen interest in alien species and cultures , 1004 was singled out to participate in a special training program by ARC trooper Alpha - 17 that encouraged individuality . As a token of his independence , 1004 was rewarded with a name and chose to be known as " Gree , " a reference to an obscure alien species . During the Clone Wars , Gree commanded the 41st Elite Corps , a division out of the 9th Assault Corps , which was led by Jedi General Luminara Unduli . He became an expert on alien cultures , giving his unit a specialization in hostile conditions , counterinsurgency , and long - term deployment on alien worlds in " hearts and minds " operations . He saw action on Uba IV , Dinlo , Rodia , and Alzoc III , amongst other worlds . In the first year of the war , Gree was assigned to escort the captured Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray to trial on Coruscant , but they were waylaid by Separatist saboteurs and a defector from the Republic , and Gunray escaped . Gree later participated in the Second Battle of Geonosis , which saw the Republic successfully cripple several Separatist battle droid foundries on Geonosis . In the last days of the war , Gree accompanied Jedi Grand Master Yoda to Kashyyyk in response to a Separatist attack . After breaking through the enemy lines surrounding the planet , he helped fight back against the droid forces of the Separatists . In the middle of the battle , Gree received a message from Supreme Chancellor Palpatine declaring the execution of Order 66 , the extermination of the Jedi . Gree was killed by Yoda while attempting to fulfill the order . Biography . Bred for war . CC - 1004 was cloned from the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett on the world of Kamino , raised to be part of a Grand Army to serve the Galactic Republic in the rank of clone trooper commander . The standard clone education provided basic information on the species of the Republic , but as 1004 ' s sense of individuality developed , he decided to become an expert on esoteric alien cultures . 1004 set about seeking information with such fervor that even the Kaminoan clone masters took notice ; but whereas this would normally be treated as an aberration and be removed , a new program was beginning that took advantage of individuality . The Advanced Recon Commando Alpha - 17 began a training program for clone commanders , with an eye towards cultivating independence and individual - mindedness . Part of this involved , as a reward , recognizing the commanders with individual names . 1004 picked the name " Gree , " after an obscure alien species ; he figured that if anyone recognized the source of the name , he would know they shared his interest in alien culture . Gree , under Jedi General Luminara Unduli , was put in command of the 41st Elite Corps , part of the 9th Assault Corps . The 41st specialized in long - term deployments on alien worlds , where they conducted " hearts and minds " operations in trying conditions to gain the allegiance of the native populations . Gree learned further of alien species and customs , becoming an expert in the subject , and his unit soon gained a reputation as specialists in hostile conditions , alien recruitment , and counterinsurgency operations . They pioneered the use of All Terrain Recon Transports , BARC speeder bikes , and Juggernaut tanks for reconnaissance missions . Throughout the war , Gree occasionally took personal command of the smaller units Sarlacc Battalion A and B as well . At some point in the war , Gree participated in a battle on the planet Tibrin and later took on the double stripe hairstyle , forgoing his naturally black hair to honor his clone comrades who had perished during the battle . On Uba IV , home to a droid manufacturing plant , Gree faced virus - filled octuptarra combat tri - droids , forcing him and his troops to keep their helmets sealed and breathing filters working . As the war neared the end of its first year , Gree , in charge of Sarlacc Battalions A and B , and under the command of Jedi General Vaas Ga , was deployed to the world of Dinlo . When they were pinned down by Separatist droid forces , the Grand Army ' s Improcco Company , under the command of General Etain Tur - Mukan , was dispatched to Dinlo to open up an exit route for them between the forest where they were trapped and the delta region of the river where Tur - Mukan established an extraction point . As the battalions set out along the shoreline , Gree and Ga called down air strikes for Improcco . Gree , Ga , and approximately one thousand of their men were able to escape , retreating to the " Acclamator " - class assault ship " Fearless " , which returned them to the galactic capital of Coruscant . Gunray ' s capture . During the first year of the war , when word came that Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray had taken Senator Padmé Amidala hostage on Rodia , Gree was dispatched to that world to aid her . By the time the commander and his soldiers arrived in Rodia ' s Senatorial Palace aboard LAAT / i gunships , Amidala and her companions — including Senator Onaconda Farr of Rodia and Representative Jar Jar Binks — had gained the upper hand and placed Gunray under arrest . Gree took the Viceroy into custody , transporting him to Luminara Unduli ' s flagship , the " Venator " - class Star Destroyer " Tranquility " . Unduli and fellow Jedi , Padawan Ahsoka Tano , rendezvoused with Gree , his Green Company , and a number of Senate Commandos led by Captain Faro Argyus to escort Gunray back to Coruscant for trial . En route to the " Tranquility " aboard a " Consular " - class cruiser , Gunray attempted to bribe Gree to free him . Gree ignored him and escorted Gunray in shackles to his holding cell on the " Tranquility " , where he oversaw the Viceroy ' s interrogation by the two Jedi . In mid - interrogation , the ship came under attack by Separatist forces ; after learning from the bridge that the enemy forces contained boarding ships , Gree ordered Green Company to prepare to repel invaders . The enemy ships lodged themselves in the ship ' s hangar bay , and the clone forces arrayed there reported back to Gree that B2 super battle droids had entered the ship and were heading for the detention level . Gree and Unduli left to reinforce their position , leaving Tano , Argyus , and his commandos to watch over Gunray . They were able to cut off the advance of a unit of droids outside the detention facility , but soon ran into further trouble — while they had been occupied , Separatist Dark Jedi Asajj Ventress had infiltrated the facility . They arrived to find her in the process of freeing Gunray and imprisoning Tano ; though they soon gained the upper hand in numbers , Ventress set off a series of thermal detonators in the engine room and used the distraction to cut her way through Gree ' s soldiers and escape . Unduli followed , leaving Tano and Gree to watch over Gunray again . Against Gree ' s advice , Argyus persuaded Tano to leave and help the Jedi Master . Argyus soon received a signal by comlink from a now - outmatched Ventress ; he turned on his fellow commandos and killed them with a shot , then opened fire on Gree . As Gree went for cover , realizing Argyus had turned traitor , the commando freed Gunray and took him as a shield . Gree disarmed Argyus with his rifle , but Argyus landed a kick on the commander , removing his helmet and disarming him of his weapon . Argyus ridiculed Gree ' s dedication to orders and explained his own defection , but as each suddenly dove for a gun on the floor , Gree knocked Argyus unconscious . Gunray knocked Gree out in turn , and the three Separatists escaped the " Tranquility " . Gree was present on the bridge of the vessel as the Jedi debriefed to Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker . Further combat in the Clone Wars . During the war , Gree directed a Jedi Knight to learn how to slice through enemy computer systems as a means of infiltration using an astromech droid . In the course of investigating the Separatist leader Count Dooku ' s alliance with the Nightsisters of Dathomir and their assistance in completing his war vessel " Devastation " , Senator Padmé Amidala was shot down over the planet Christophsis . Gree accompanied a pair of Jedi in their search for her . Their LAAT / i was shot down as well , and Gree ordered the Jedi to leave him and his clones behind and continue the mission . As they left , the LAAT / i dislodged from the cliff where it was perched and plummeted into Christophsis ' s depths . Gree was able to recover the vessel , however , and arrived in time to assist the Jedi in their fight against the Nightsisters , opening fire with the LAAT / i ' s guns on the dark Force - users . The Jedi had not found Senator Amidala , though , and they ordered him to find a landing site . Gree set off , and before long , they contacted him again , having retrieved Amidala and in need of medical assistance for her when she arrived . The group rendezvoused and left the planet . Gree accompanied Jedi Generals Luminara Unduli and Aayla Secura , and Clone Commander CC - 5052 to investigate the planet Alzoc III , where Separatist activity had been reported by the Hutt crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure . The Republic squad took several All Terrain Tactical Enforcers which , after scaling a cliff face , were able to reach the coordinates of the location provided by Jabba . Upon arriving , both the Jedi and the clone troopers witnessed a crash site of a large capital ship and were stunned by the view of huge masses of ice and numerous starship parts floating freely in the air . Deciding to investigate the unusual phenomena , Gree and several clone troopers used their jetpacks to reach what remained of the ship ' s hangar , while the Jedi followed them by using the Force to navigate through debris . When the group rendezvoused at the hangar , it was attacked by a Vulture droid and it became apparent that the crash site attracted Separatist interest as well . The Jedi quickly defeated the droid and ordered the clones to scout ahead and find the ship ' s data recorder , while they themselves engaged the battle droids and followed by an alternate route . After reaching the remains of the ship ' s bridge , Gree began to slice the vessel ' s data recorder , while the Jedi and the clone troopers protected him from the attacking droids . Once the battle droids were successfully neutralized , Gree was able to show his generals the record of the ship ' s final moments . It became apparent that an individual had used a Telgorn dropship to board a " Munificent " - class star frigate carrying two classified weapons , stole one of them , and then departed shortly before the frigate was hit by an explosion . The vessel had then crashed on the planet , where the weapon created a gravity anomaly . Soon , Gree also discovered that Asajj Ventress had already visited the crash site and set the remains of the frigate for self - destruct . The Jedi ordered the clone troopers to safety and then briefly dueled Ventress . Secura and Unduli trapped the Dark Jedi under the bulk of ice before leaving the crash site and reporting to the Jedi High Council . Second Battle of Geonosis . Gree accompanied Unduli and her Padawan learner , Barriss Offee , to the planet Geonosis — the site of the outbreak of the war — to assist Skywalker and Tano in destroying several rebuilt Geonosian battle droid foundries there . Unduli , Offee , and Gree led gunship reinforcements to Skywalker ' s encampment , from where they were to mount an attack on Geonosian Archduke Poggle the Lesser ' s primary droid foundry . After landing with their force , Unduli and Offee met with Skywalker and Tano and decided upon a plan to destroy the Geonosian foundry : Unduli and Skywalker would mount an offensive on the factory while the Padawans infiltrated the foundry via the catacombs beneath it and destroyed it from the inside using explosives . While Tano and Offee carried out their mission , it fell to Gree , and Clone Captain Rex , Skywalker ' s assigned officer , to lead the clone army in the attack alongside their Jedi Generals . To help fight off the Geonosian resistance , Gree brought in some of his best men such as Sergeant Buzz and clone trooper Draa . The Jedi and clones initially met with much success in cutting through the foundry ' s deployed droid forces , prompting Poggle to send out several experimental ray shielded super tanks . The super tanks stood up to heavy fire from the Republic ' s AV - 7 Antivehicle Cannon s and launched a series of missiles at the Republic forces , dealing heavy losses . Taking cover from the droid rockets , Skywalker and Unduli met with Rex and Gree and ordered them to fall back in order to draw the super tanks onto the bridge leading to the foundry , which Skywalker and Unduli intended to destroy with thermal detonators so that the tanks would be dropped into the abyss below . Gree and Rex complied with their Jedi Generals , who were subsequently able to destroy the super tanks . Tano and Offee , meanwhile , were intercepted by Poggle and a squad of battle droids while planting their explosives at the foundry ' s reactor , and with their munitions stolen , the Padawans elected to use a super tank to annihilate the reactor , destroying the factory while still inside it . As the toppling factory brought forth a wave of debris , Gree took cover and ordered his men to do the same . Once the debris had cleared , Rex and Gree took a gunship to find Skywalker and Unduli amidst the rubble and helped them in searching for their Padawans , who had been buried under the factory ' s remains . When Tano used a power cell to boost her comlink ' s reception , alerting her Master to her and Offee ' s position , Skywalker , Unduli , Rex , and Gree immediately proceeded to the indicated area . The two Jedi Generals used the Force to lift the debris , rescuing their Padawans and further cementing their success with destroying Poggle ' s droid foundry . Later in the war , Gree and a contingent of clone troopers accompanied Jedi Grand Master Yoda to a farming moon in orbit of the planet Kashyyyk , where the Separatists were using scythe harvester tanks to raze the local farmlands . As his troops engaged the enemy tanks in battle , Gree ' s forces encountered difficulties when the airborne pollen upturned by the enemy activity began to disrupt the clones ' helmet filters . Furthermore , the scythe harvesters made quick work of the Republic ' s LAAT / i gunships , leading Gree to recommend a retreat to Yoda . However , Yoda was resolute that the moon would be too strategic an acquisition for the Confederacy , and he ordered Gree and his men to remove their helmets while he tackled the problem of their lack of air support . Yoda used one of the native reptavians to reach the roof of one of the scythe harvesters , which he commandeered and turned against the rest of the opposing artillery . Although the Republic won the day , Gree was concerned by the cost of the victory , as the battle resulted in the obliteration of much of the moon ' s farmlands . Nevertheless , Yoda believed that the farmers would plant new seeds and sow the ground anew . The Battle of Kashyyyk and Order 66 . In 19 BBY , in the closing days of the Clone Wars , Kashyyyk came under attack by Separatist forces . Master Yoda personally set out for the world , with the 41st and Gree attached to him ; to better suit himself for operations in Kashyyyk ' s lush greenery , Gree equipped himself with camouflaged Phase II clone trooper armor . Yoda and Gree ' s forces encountered Separatist resistance above the world , however . Alerted to the arrival of reinforcements , the Separatists maneuvered a cruiser to block Yoda ' s flagship from landing . Gree began searching for alternative sites to land , but they were too far from the front line . Before long , though , the clone commando unit Delta Squad on the planet ' s surface was able to commandeer a set of cannons from the Separatists and shoot down the cruiser , opening a space for Gree , Yoda , and the 41st to land . Gree and Yoda took up position in a command post in the tree city of Kachirho , joined by Wookiee natives Tarfful and Chewbacca . When Gree detected that the Separatist forces had started up their main power generator , meaning another attack was imminent , Yoda gave the signal to cue their forces . The Wookiees led the charge on the beach below , while the 41st flanked the droid forces from the boughs of Kachirho ; Yoda and Gree remained at their post . In the middle of the battle , Gree received a transmission from Supreme Chancellor Palpatine ordering him to execute Order 66 , a command to kill the Jedi . Gree signaled to another soldier , and the two took position behind Yoda . However , the Jedi Master sensed their intent and , leaping over them , decapitated Gree and his fellow trooper . Personality and traits . Known for his talent and individuality , Commander Gree was a loyal and disciplined soldier . His sharp mind and battle prowess made him an ideal second - in - command for the renowned Jedi Master Luminara Unduli . Though he served Yoda faithfully during the Clone Wars , his ultimate loyalty lay with the Republic . The commander would not disobey a direct order from a superior , and he held in contempt those who betrayed their post to the Republic . He was willing to sacrifice his own life to fulfill a mission . Gree showed himself at the end to be fully loyal to the Republic , turning on his Jedi General at the Chancellor ' s order and dying for it . Some who sided with the Separatists — such as Viceroy Nute Gunray and traitorous Senate Guard Captain Argyus — saw Gree ' s allegiance as servitude , only present because of his birth as a clone . However , Gree was acknowledged by his fellow clones , the Republic , and the Jedi as a being with individualism , for which he was granted his own name . The commander was abnormal , with respect to his fellow clones , in his pursuit of knowledge of alien species . Though discouraged by his Kaminoan cloners , Gree ' s independence was stimulated in Alpha - 17 ' s training program , and he took an interest in knowing who else shared his particular passions of learning . The clone commander had advanced knowledge of jetpacks and was trained in unarmed and armed combat . He was also a capable slicer and spoke Galactic Basic Standard . Equipment . Early in the Clone Wars , Gree wore Phase I clone armor . His armor was detailed with markings and sported the color green . Gree wore a black - colored bandoleer , which held extra ammunition . In his utility belt , Gree stored thermal detonators . Gree ' s Phase I armor kneeplates required maintenance , as they needed to be frequently replaced . When required , he had an optional jetpack , which he utilized for certain missions . Gree later replaced his Phase I armor with the Phase II clone trooper armor . Much like his Phase I counterpart , his armor sported green markings , though in different sections of his armor , certain parts had darker shades of green . His forearm and leg armor featured camouflage markings , and his boot armor was black . He also carried a set of personal green - colored macrobinoculars . Gree , like all members within the 41st , carried another set of Phase II armor for scouting missions . He carried a DC - 15A blaster rifle and a DC - 15S blaster carbine ; he was also equipped with a DC - 17 blaster pistol . Behind the scenes . For his first appearance — barring the movie ' s adaptations — in , Gree was , like all clone troopers , voiced by Temuera Morrison and portrayed as a computer - generated character . The character received his first unmasked appearance in the " " line of toys . His first appearance unmasked on - screen was in " Cloak of Darkness , " an episode of the series " " . In both that episode and its preceding one , " Bombad Jedi , " Gree was voiced by Dee Bradley Baker , the voice of all the series ' clones . Gree also made an appearance in the " " video game . Gree ' s appearance in " Weapons Factory , " an episode of the television series ' , was not confirmed in either the episode or its corresponding online guide . However , it was finally clarified in the " " sourcebook . In the Swedish translation of " " , Gree ' s rank is incorrectly stated to be a colonel . The for " " mistakenly calls him " Kree " . The storyline in the Nintendo DS version of " Republic Heroes " is entirely different from all other platform versions . In it , the Duros bounty hunter Cad Bane informs the Republic of a Separatist base established in the abandoned mining space station Juma 9 . The base , however , is protected by a defense perimeter which can be bypassed only by using recent Separatist clearance codes . Jedi Master Kit Fisto remembers that during his mission to General Grievous ' s castle on the third moon of Vassek , his starfighter ' s scanners picked up a strong energy reading coming from within one part of the structure . The Jedi realize that such energy reading can only mean the presence of a Separatist archive containing the codes and dispatch Luminara Unduli and Gree to retrieve them . Although Grievous himself has left the castle , he has increased the security inside it , and as such , Unduli and Gree — who is armed with a rocket launcher — are forced to fight numerous battle droids . Eventually , the two reach a computer containing the codes , but when they try to slice it , a force field activates , trapping them inside the room with the computer . After Unduli and Gree fail to check in in time , the Jedi dispatch Master Plo Koon to rescue them . Koon successfully completes the mission and deactivates the force field . As Unduli and Koon travel to their starship , Gree remains at the computer to track their progress and assist them when possible . The two Jedi reach the ship and take off , signaling Gree to reach a landing site near the castle in order to be extracted . Having secured the codes , the commander fights his way to the landing site , only to find that it is overrun by droids . After destroying them as well , Gree is extracted by the Jedi , and they all leave Vassek ' s moon .
