CC - 5052 / Legends CC - 5052 was a clone marshal commander who served both the Galactic Republic and the Galactic Empire that followed . A clone of Jango Fett , CC - 5052 was bred on Kamino , where he was trained as an Advanced Recon Commando by Alpha - 17 . Alpha - 17 also gave CC - 5052 the name " Bly , " which the clone commander himself adopted . Assigned to the 327th Star Corps , Bly worked with Jedi General Aayla Secura throughout the Clone Wars . Serving in campaigns on planets such as Quell , Maridun , Alzoc III , Florrum , and New Holstice , Bly worked with Secura to personally extract a valuable Scientific Instrument Package from Honoghr . During the mission , Bly encountered renegade Jedi Quinlan Vos , whom he deeply mistrusted . Shortly after the Honoghr mission , Bly and Secura served alongside the reformed Vos in the Siege of Saleucami . Before they could complete their mission on Saleucami , Secura , Bly , and the 327th were redirected to Felucia , to save captive Jedi Barriss Offee and her apprentice Zonder . With that mission a success , Bly and his troops hunted Shu Mai , who was a member of the governing body of the Confederacy of Independent Systems . They eventually discovered that they were too late to capture Mai , and that her forces had unleashed a deadly toxin into the planet ' s water supply . Bly set out with Secura to stop the toxin from spreading , but in transit he received the command to execute Order 66 , which meant that all Jedi were declared to be enemies of the Republic . After gunning down Secura , Bly ' s men were unable to locate Zonder or the two other Jedi Padawans involved in the Felucia campaign , Ekria and Drake Lo ' gaan . Several months later , Bly was given the opportunity to finally eliminate Ekria and Lo ' gaan by Darth Vader . On Tepasi , Bly shot both Jedi fugitives , and though he believed them dead , they had in fact survived . Biography . Early life and career . Bred on Kamino , CC - 5052 was among the first generation of clone marshal commanders to be trained by the Advanced Recon Commando Alpha - 17 , who gave him the designation " Bly . " A clone of the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett , Bly was trained as an Advanced Recon Commando himself , giving him a more independent mindset and allowing him to think " outside the manual " when it came to the shifting of tactical situations . As a clone commander , it was Bly ' s job to act as an intermediary between the Jedi Generals and the regular clone troopers , although he was bred to be loyal to the Republic above all others . Bly was assigned to the 327th Star Corps , which fell under the 2nd Sector Army . He personally served Jedi General Aayla Secura , and they began to develop a close relationship during their shared service in the ongoing Clone Wars . When the Republic amassed a number of droids that needed their memory core s unlocked and wiped , Bly helped to recruit a Jedi Knight for the task , as the secrets in the droids could be crucial to the war effort . Service with Secura . Quell . In 22 BBY , in an attempt to reap information from the memory banks of a Confederate tactical droid on a planet , Bly and Secura set up a trap in a rocky canyon . They were able to fabricate an information bunker , which attracted the attention of the droid . In turn , the droid ordered his troops to attack the bunker , prompting Bly and the men of the 327th to attack them from the rear . They were able to effectively dispatch the droid ' s troops , while Secura beheaded the tactical droid . Since the droid had not gone into cyberostasis , they would be able to plunder its memory banks for intel . Later , Secura led a task force of three " Venator " - class Star Destroyers to Quell . There , they were engaged by a group of " Munificent " - class star frigates . Secura ' s forces suffered heavy damage , and soon enough , her command ship , the " Liberty " , was the only one remaining . Its shields fell , but fortunately for the Republic taskforce , General Anakin Skywalker was due to arrive in the " Resolute " , with reinforcements . Sure enough , the " Resolute " entered the system , but the Confederate frigates began launching B2 - RP battle droids . Realizing that they were intending to board her ship , Secura ordered Bly to repel the attacking forces . Gunships from the " Resolute " arrived at the site of the battle to aid Secura ' s listing starship , and Skywalker , his apprentice Ahsoka Tano , and CT - 7567 ( or " Rex , " as he was known ) were able to board . They rendezvoused with Secura and Bly aboard the ship , and Skywalker reported that he had arranged for one of his " Consular " - class cruisers to dock with the damaged Star Destroyer . The Confederates redoubled their attack , attempting to down Secura ' s ship . As Bly , Secura , Skywalker , Tano , Rex , and the clone troopers Cameron , Flash , and Lucky made their way toward the docked cruiser , a series of explosions tore through the Star Destroyer , chasing them down a corridor . Skywalker , in an attempt to save both his allies and the cruiser , sealed himself off with a set of blast doors , and held back the force of the explosion with the Force . As a result , he was seriously injured , but Tano was able to recover his unconscious form . The group boarded the cruiser , prompting its pilot to make a heading for the " Resolute " . Aboard the " Resolute " , Admiral Wullf Yularen advised Secura against docking in the middle of a battle , but Secura realized that the severity of Skywalker ' s injuries meant that he needed better medical care than the cruiser could provide . As the cruiser began docking operations , it was set upon by Vulture droids . When the ship was struck by fire , the pilot was thrown onto the controls , accidentally activating the ship ' s hyperdrive . Despite Bly ' s best efforts , he was unable to disengage , but Yularen , acting quickly , had the " Resolute " move away from the cruiser , leaving it free engage its hyperdrive and depart Quell prematurely . Despite the overwhelming odds against surviving a hyperspace jump in a gravity well , the cruiser , and all aboard it , survived . As it traveled through hyperspace , Bly learned that the ship was on a direct collision course with a star . As the clones tried desperately to disengage the hyperdrive , Secura ordered that they power down all the ship ' s systems . They did so , bringing the cruiser into realspace just short of the star . Secura then powered the ship back up again , allowing it to maneuver around the star , which in turn allowed Tano to slingshot the craft around the star and into a crash landing on the planet of Maridun . Maridun . As the wreckage of the ship burned on the planet ' s surface , all evacuated through its emergency escape hatches . Once the fires had burned out , the group used the wreckage as a makeshift shelter . Skywalker ' s condition , however , continued to deteriorate , and the group began to realize that he needed swift medical attention . Tano suggested that Bly and Secura scout in a southerly fashion while she and Rex would stay and watch over Skywalker , but Secura disagreed , insisting that she and Tano work together as Jedi . In a cursory search of the area surrounding the wreck , Bly discovered a carved tablet depicting a humanoid battling some sort of predator . The group realized that the tablet indicated that there was an intelligent species dwelling on the world , and set themselves upon the task of finding said species . Also depicted on the carving were large trees , which Bly , Secura , and Tano decided to look for , as a clue to the species ' location . Setting out with Cameron , Flash , and Lucky , and leaving Rex behind with Skywalker , the group found one of the trees by nightfall . Falling seed pods from the trees nearly killed the six offworlders , but Secura spotted a path in the grass that had been used to drag the pods away , presumably by a member of the intelligent species . As the scouting party followed the path , they were set upon by two large mastiff phalones . Bly was able to kill one of the creatures , which scared the other away , but the pair had been able to kill Cameron , Lucky , and Flash . By dawn , Bly , Secura , and Tano came across a village made of the massive seed pods , occupied by Lurmen . They were greeted by the village leader , Tee Watt Kaa , but the elderly Lurmen was suspicious of their intent . Secura insisted that they were peace keepers , but Kaa argued that the Jedi were a violent people . The Lurmen had colonized Maridun in an attempt to flee the death and destruction that the Clone Wars brought , and in accordance with that , he asked the trio to leave his village . Tano launched into an impassioned plea for aid , however , and Kaa decided to send his healer son , Wag Too , to aid Skywalker . He still did not trust the Jedi , however , and insisted that one of them remain at the village , lest they try and kidnap Too . Secura opted to stay behind , but the blaster - toting Bly was not allowed to remain within the village . The clone commander set off with Tano and Too , and after running for 17 hours straight , arrived back at the wreckage just as a mastiff phalone was tearing apart the shelter and attacking Rex and Skywalker . Too was able to incapacitate the creature , but barred Tano from killing it . Meanwhile , Bly assisted Skywalker , who had been further injured in the altercation with the mastiff phalone . Too was able to stabilize Skywalker ' s condition , and the general was set to make a recovery . They returned to the village , where Skywalker ' s recuperation continued . Meanwhile , Bly was informed by Rex that a Confederate C - 9979 landing craft was approaching the Lurmen settlement , which Bly then immediately relayed to the Jedi . Kaa insisted that the Jedi leave the village , lest the Confederate invaders find them . Too helped the clones and the Jedi to sneak out of the village , while Kaa met with the leader of the Confederate force , General Lok Durd . As the clones and the Jedi moved out of the village , the Confederate troops began ransacking the place . The group was able to make its way to some long grass , where they hid until the droids finished their sweep of the settlement . Skywalker , remembering that they would need a ship to get off Maridun , suggested that if the Confederates had a landing craft , they would also likely have a shuttle of some sort . As Skywalker and Rex plotted , Tano spotted a Confederate recon droid nearby . Bly and Rex opened fire on it , while Bly jammed its comlink . The droid fled , and the group gave chase . Secura was able to dispatch the droid , and their chase had taken them to the base of a large tree . The group climbed the tree , and from their new vantage point , they spotted the Confederate invaders building a fortified outpost around the landing craft . Within the outpost was , as Skywalker predicted , a Confederate shuttle . Bly noted that getting into the outpost would be no small feat , as the enemy ' s security appeared to be flawless . As the group continued to observe the base , Skywalker saw that Durd ' s forces had some sort of large new weapon in their arsenal , and he asked Bly and Rex to investigate . As they moved closer , the vehicle fired a large projectile into the sky . When the projectile hit the ground , it unleashed a rapidly expanding ring of fire that wiped out everything in its path . Bly and Rex attempted to outrun the blast , and Rex decided to fire his grappling cable at a branch of the large tree , in order to ascend out of the blast ' s range . Bly followed suit , but tripped on a log , and as a result , his cable fell short of the tree . Before he could be killed by the blast , however , Secura swung down on a vine , and rescued him . The Jedi quickly realized that Durd ' s target would be the Lurmen , and Skywalker devised a plan of attack : first , they would eliminate the Confederate communication station , steal the shuttle , and then return to aid the Lurmen . When night fell , the group approached the base , and together they covertly dispatched the guards . Tano and Secura were able to enter the outpost , wherein Tano proceeded to open the main door , allowing Bly , Rex , and Skywalker to join the others . The rest of the guard droids dispatched , the group made their way toward the parked shuttle . Before they boarded , the clones gathered two shield generators to take with them . The group then flew the shuttle to the Lurmen village . Although Kaa still refused to accept the aid of the Jedi , Skywalker went about ordering the clones to set up the shield generators , in preparation for the defense of the village . In addition , the Jedi and the clones began moving the large pods into place , forming a makeshift barrier . When the Confederate forces were close enough to the village , Durd fired his new weapon . In response , Skywalker had the shield generators activated , and the shields in turn protected the village from the blast . Durd ' s next move was to have his army of droids charge the village , prompting Skywalker , Tano , Secura , Bly and Rex to move outside the shield and engage the attackers . They were able to successfully dispatch the first wave of droids , but the second and third waves were able to make through the shield perimeter , forcing Bly and Rex to retreat behind the pod barrier . Skywalker set off on his own to destroy the weapon , leaving Tano and Secura free to battle the droids that were moving into the village . Unfortunately for the defenders , the droids were able to destroy both of the shield generators . Skywalker was able to destroy the weapon , however , and the Lurmen , under the leadership of Too , banded together , and helped the clones and the Jedi destroy the attacking droids . Durd was later arrested by Skywalker , and Admiral Yularen ' s cruisers arrived at Maridun to extract the clones and the Jedi . Alzoc III and Florrum . Bly accompanied Secura , Jedi General Luminara Unduli , and Clone Commander CC - 1004 , nicknamed " Gree , " 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 and headed for the coordinates of the location provided by Jabba . Along the way , the walkers were forced to scale a vertical cliff , and when a walker ' s path became blocked by a bulk of ice , Bly immediately ordered his men to blast it . Secura , however , ordered to hold , stating that the blast could lead to the collapse of the entire cliff , and proceeded to remove the obstacle in a more delicate way . Upon arriving at their destination , 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 , Bly , 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 Bly , the Jedi and the clone troopers protected him from the attacking droids . After successfully neutralizing the battle droids , Gree was able to access 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 , it was also revealed that the Dark Acolyte 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 . Later in the war , aboard an " Acclamator " - class assault ship , CC - 5052 was on a scouting mission with Secura in the Outer Rim Territories when they came across an unallied vessel being attacked by a Confederate " Munificent " - class frigate . Secura consulted him on advisable actions , and Bly believed that they should reconnoiter the planet for more information . The Jedi ordered the clone commander to take a squad of troopers aboard an LAAT / i gunship and gather more information , and to hold fire unless fired upon . The Confederate captain , seeking to eliminate both the Republic gunship and the neutral vessel belonging to the bounty hunter Shahan Alama , dispatched Vulture and Hyena droid starfighters . Bly ' s gunship were able to defeat the Confederates , as well as shoot down Alama ' s craft , and returned to Secura ' s ship . New Holstice and Honoghr . Seventeen months after the First Battle of Geonosis , Bly and the 327th fought in the Battle of New Holstice , under the command of Secura . On New Holstice , Bly and his troops successfully battled against the Mandalorian Protectors , driving the warriors into full retreat . However , the Star Corps suffered heavy losses and was whittled down to an effective strength of sixty percent . The commander alerted Secura to the shortage of troops , but the Jedi resigned herself to the fact that other units across the galaxy were under just as much stress . During his time with Secura , Bly began to grow close to the Jedi , earning the two of them the ire of other Jedi such as Arligan Zey . Continuing to work with Secura , Bly was then sent to Honoghr . The Confederate core ship " Gahenna " was believed to be carrying a new defoliant toxin , Trihexalophine1138 , with the intent of using it on Naboo . An " Acclamator " - class assault ship under the command of Jedi General Rii ' ke En had engaged the " Gahenna " , damaging the vessel so severely that it crashed onto Honoghr , but the toxin survived the plummet to the planet ' s surface . In the battle , En ' s ship had also sustained heavy damage and was forced to crash - land on the planet . Investigating the incident , En tracked the Confederate Scientific Instrument Package that contained data pertinent to Trihexalophine1138 to a Rakatan temple , where it had been taken by the native Noghri . The general then alerted Secura ' s unit to the location of the package and its relevance , but was soon killed by the Noghri . Along with a small detachment of clones and General Secura , Bly made his way to the planet ' s surface before tracking through the Honoghr forests to the Rakata n temple . It was the commander ' s hope that they would be able to retrieve the SIP without detection by the Noghri , but any attempt at stealth was abandoned when the Noghri ambushed the party . Retreating into the temple , Bly posted a trooper as a rear guard , with the order that were he to fall , another would take his place . By the time they had entered the temple , Bly and Secura were the only Republic troops left . Fighting off a horde of Noghri warriors , the pair were saved when Quinlan Vos entered the engagement . Bly immediately recognized Vos as the renegade Jedi who had defected to the Confederacy and had become an associate of Count Dooku . Secura , who had been trained by Vos , asked him where his allegiances lay . The general believed Vos ' s claim that he was still acting as a double agent for the Jedi , but Bly was not so trusting . It took a direct order from Secura to prevent the clone commander from opening fire on Vos , but he was still far from happy with the situation . Vos , as a token of his goodwill , offered to aid Secura in obtaining the SIP , an offer the general accepted . With the information that En had provided before his death , the trio knew where in the temple the SIP was being kept . More challenging was the elimination of the Noghri guards . Bly ventured out alone , drawing enemy fire , while Secura and Vos dispatched the enemy guards by stealth . Reaching the chamber holding the SIP , Vos pointed out that the area was booby - trapped with poisonous darts . Although the Jedi worked as a team to extract the device , the trap was triggered . Fortunately for the trio , no one was hurt , allowing them to escape the temple unharmed . When they were safely out of range , Vos demanded that Secura relinquish the SIP . Secura , displeased , ignited her lightsaber , prompting Vos to do likewise . Realizing that Vos was truly a threat to the mission , Bly attempted to shoot the renegade Jedi , but his target swiftly rounded on him and threw the clone hard into a wall with the Force . Bly fell into unconsciousness , and as he came to , he witnessed Secura and Vos dueling fiercely . Eventually , Vos was able to overpower his former Padawan and prepared to land a killing blow . Bly , roused into consciousness , shot Vos in the shoulder . When his vision was more clear , he fired again , this time shooting to kill . His second shot was deflected by Secura , who did not want the renegade Jedi harmed . The distraction was all Vos needed to escape on his ship , the " Skorp - Ion " , although Secura still possessed the SIP . Returning to their task force , Bly received treatment for wounds sustained during the Honoghr mission , although he was confused as to why his general considered the mission a failure . Following the Honoghr operation , Bly and Secura served a tour of duty on Anzat . At the conclusion of the Battle of Altyr V , Bly promoted CT - 65 / 91 - 6210 , who had distinguished himself in the conflict , to the rank of commander . Saleucami . In 19 BBY , Secura , Bly and the 327th Star Corps were dispatched to Saleucami , where a prolonged siege was taking place . The Confederacy was using underground caves below the planet ' s capital to clone Morgukai warriors , who were subsequently trained by the Anzati . As these clones would be deadly warriors and an extremely effective tool for the Confederacy , the Republic hoped to preemptively halt this threat by besieging the capital city . The Republic ' s forces were commanded by Oppo Rancisis , with Quinlan Vos , who appeared to have defected once again , serving as the Senior Jedi General ' s second - in - command . During the siege , Bly worked closely with fellow commanders CC - 8826 and Faie . Secura wished to speak with Vos following a large battle that had gained the Republic ground , so she sent Bly to make the request . Vos was displeased with the presence of the man who had recently shot him , and he brushed off Secura ' s request . Secura , not to be deterred , met with Vos anyway , though she sent Bly away for some privacy . The following day , the Republic troops made their way into Saleucami ' s capital , with Bly once again fighting alongside his general . Eventually , Dark Acolyte Tol Skorr entered the skirmish , taunting Vos and leading him away from the battle . Bly was concerned , but Secura assured him that the situation was under control . Following the battle , control of the city remained contested , leaving the Republic forces with little choice but to return to their encampment . That night , Morgukai clones attacked the camp , forcing most of the Jedi committed to the Saleucami campaign to respond . Bly also fought to defend the encampment , but the battle proved to be nothing more than a diversion . The true target was Rancisis , who was found dead in his chambers , slain by Confederate agent Sora Bulq . Nevertheless , the Republic forces continued on with their attacks , albeit without the advantage of Rancisis ' s battle meditation . Making a final assault , Secura and Vos made their way into the cloning chambers of the catacombs to sabotage the Confederate operation and confront Bulq . Meanwhile , the rest of the Jedi set out to remove the large planetary ion cannon that was preventing the Republic fleet from moving over the city and bombarding the Confederate installation . Bly and his men were tasked with making sure that no Morgukai warriors made it out of the enemy base alive . When the ion cannon was destroyed , Bly suggested to General A ' Sharad Hett that an extraction team be sent after Vos and Secura , but the Jedi refused , urging Bly to continue pursuing his objectives . Hett ' s persistence paid off , as the Confederate base was demolished , and the enemy forces routed . Bulq and Skorr also perished in the battle , and the Siege of Saleucami was all but won . Despite the fact that some Morgukai warriors had survived , Bly and Secura were given orders to take their forces to the world of Felucia . Endor . On the way to Felucia , Bly and Secura were ordered to take a detour in the Endor system to investigate Endor ' s forest moon . Apparently , a Confederate base had been located on the moon , leading Secura to dispatch a scout squad to investigate . When they did not report back , she and Bly landed on the moon in order to explore the enemy base . The base itself was deserted , although the surrounding grounds were littered with battle droids and clone trooper armor . Secura ordered Bly to fortify the position while she continued the investigation . She returned shortly after , reporting that the troops , Republic and Confederate alike , had been killed by a local creature . Without further ado , Secura , Bly , and their unit set off toward Felucia . En route aboard the cruiser " Intrepid " , Bly decided to quell his frustration over the fact that the Saleucami mission was not completed by eschewing sleep for exercise . Secura came to observe , and she informed the commander that she had now been given command of a full unit by Mace Windu . While sparring in a practice fight with Secura , Bly was informed that Barriss Offee , who had been sent to Felucia to track down Separatist Council member Shu Mai some weeks prior , had not been heard from . Along with the new detachment of troops sent to Secura ' s command , a Jedi Padawan , Ekria , had been placed in the general ' s custody . The new recruit , a talented slicer , was able to pinpoint where Offee , who had clearly been captured , was being held . Bly was surprised but impressed by Ekria ' s work . Immediately afterward , Secura and Ekria received a transmission from Grand Master Yoda , requesting that all Jedi within range of Coruscant return immediately , as the galactic capital was under attack from the Confederacy . Bly deduced that Dooku had lured as many Jedi as he could to the Outer Rim Territories , putting them out of range while he struck at the heart of the Republic . Secura was livid , insisting that Bly turn the " Intrepid " around and set a course for Coruscant , but the commander reasoned that they were too far away , and that the Felucia mission was still the priority . Ekria concurred and believed that the capture of Shu Mai would still be an advantage to the Republic , while Bly simply hoped not to have another incomplete mission on his record . Secura relented and allowed the " Intrepid " to resume its course . Felucia and Order 66 . Bly , Secura , and Ekria landed on Felucia and journeyed to the Nigkoe Detention Facility , where Offee and her apprentice , Zonder , were being held . While Ekria sliced into the center ' s shields , Bly and Secura fought their way through the guard droids and into the complex . Encountering a Gossam security guard , Secura demanded to be taken to the Jedi prisoners . The guard obliged , though it was Secura ' s cleavage rather than her mastery of the Force that had convinced the Gossam , much to Bly ' s confusion . Dispatching the guards inside Offee ' s cell , the trio rendezvoused with their targets , although the intended escape route was blocked by a massive droid army parade . Adapting to the situation , Bly used an ascension gun to carry Secura to the top of the building , with Zonder , Ekria and Offee close behind . The commander then destroyed the center ' s deflector shield generator , allowing his troops to land and rescue them . Allowed some respite , Ekria was able to locate a way into Shu Mai ' s compound , outside the city of Kway Teow . Clearing the perimeter guards , Bly and the Jedi rode BARC speeders toward the compound while being pursued by Vulture droids . The pursuers were in turn destroyed by Republic Aggressive ReConnaissance - 170 starfighters , allowing Bly and his comrades to drop the Jedi off in a nearby swamp . From there , Secura and her fellow Jedi were able to enter Shu Mai ' s compound . To Secura ' s frustration , the Confederate leader was long gone , but Ekria was able to disable the locks on the main entrance nonetheless . Bly and his troops started to make their way into the building , but were stalled when deadly toxins were let into the air by the Separatists . As soon as Ekria realized that it was a trap , Secura ordered all her troops to evacuate the compound . Moments after Bly and the Jedi had escaped , Shu Mai ' s base of operations exploded , resulting in a considerable loss of clone troopers . In addition to the destruction of Shu Mai ' s compound , the toxins were released into the Felucian water supply , part of a Confederate measure to make sure the world did not fall into the hands of the Republic . Secura acted quickly to stop the spreading of the toxin , splitting her force into three groups that would each attack a water treatment facility . Offee led one squad to Har Gau , Ekria , Zonder , and new addition Drake Lo ' gaan attacked Jiaozi , while Secura and Bly advanced on Niango . Adapting to the situation , Bly and his men made use of the native gelagrubs as mounts . En route , Bly received a transmission from Supreme Chancellor Palpatine , ordering him to execute Order 66 . Secura and all other Jedi were now considered enemies of the Republic , leaving Bly with little choice but to abandon any friendship he might have had and kill his former commanding officer by shooting her in the back . Bly was one of the few reluctant commanders to follow up Order 66 . He doubted he and his fellow soldiers would still be standing if it had not been for Aayla Secura ' s quick thinking in the constant surprise attacks from the acklay . When Bly fired he made sure the death was quick and painless . His men aided him , continuing to fire on Secura even after her body had hit the ground . Not taking any chances , Bly then had his troops inspect Secura ' s corpse , confirming her death . The efforts to stop the spreading of the toxin were abandoned , with the ensuing deaths blamed on the Jedi . To Bly ' s frustration , however , Zonder , Ekria , and Lo ' gaan escaped , leaving the commander with yet another incomplete mission on his record . In the Empire ' s service . Shortly after the death of Secura , the Republic became the Galactic Empire , following Palpatine ' s Declaration of a New Order . Bly continued to serve under Palpatine ' s new regime and was sent to Yutusk to control a protest rally . While on Yutusk , Bly and fellow trooper CT - 6734 , nicknamed " Galle , " were contacted by Lord Darth Vader , Palpatine ' s second - in - command . Vader reminded Bly that he still had incomplete missions on his record , then offered the commander the chance to finally complete one of them . Shipped to Coruscant , Bly met with Director of Imperial Intelligence Armand Isard , as well as Inquisitors Antinnis Tremayne and Lanu Pasiq , who were tracking down the rogue Jedi Padawans Ekria and Lo ' gaan . Zonder had been executed by Vader in days prior , leaving Bly free to focus on the two surviving fugitives . Bly recounted the events leading up to the Battle of Felucia , specifically Ekria ' s talent for slicing into networks . Isard insisted that no one had breached his intelligence network , but Bly pointed out that the director had never worked with Jedi before . Isard then suggested posting access - markers on specific data nodes , which would alert Intelligence when they were breached by Ekria , allowing Tremayne to track down the location of the Padawans . Sure enough , the fugitives were located in a Coruscant apartment , but as Bly , Tremayne and Pasiq closed in on the location in a Low Altitude Assault Transport , the quarters were torn apart by an explosion . But Tremayne was not fooled , and he detected a speeder leaving the area . The group set off in pursuit of the fugitives , chasing them though the skylanes of Coruscant . Ekria jumped off the speeder mid - pursuit , but Tremayne ordered Bly to stay on Lo ' gaan ' s tail . The Padawan reached platform NL1922 , where Vader was preparing to board a shuttle to Tepasi . Lo ' gaan was subdued by Vader ' s Noghri guards , leaving Tremayne and Bly to track down Ekria . The commander , using Isard ' s access - markers , discovered that Ekria was taking the freighter " Casuistic " to Tepasi , presumably to save Lo ' gaan . On Tepasi , Vader , with the captive Lo ' gaan in tow , confronted Baron Orman Tagge in a large TaggeCo factory . Tagge had been attempting to usurp the Dark Lord ' s place at Palpatine ' s side , earning him Vader ' s ire . As punishment , Vader blinded Tagge with his lightsaber , rousing Ekria from her hiding spot in the Baron ' s facility . Unbeknownst to the fugitive Jedi , Bly and his troops had been in the upper gantries of the factory , waiting for her to reveal herself . They opened fire on her , apparently killing her in the process . Lo ' gaan , driven into a rage , used the Force to throw Bly and his troops against a wall , knocking them out of commission . When Bly regained consciousness , he was met with the sight of Lo ' gaan and Vader dueling . Waiting for an opening , the commander shot Lo ' gaan in the shoulder , putting him at Vader ' s mercy . The Dark Lord took the opportunity , stabbing Lo ' gaan and letting him plunge to his apparent death in the factory . Vader then congratulated Bly on finally completing his mission . Though none of the Imperials knew it , Lo ' gaan and Ekria had in fact survived the encounter . Personality and traits . A dependable clone trooper , Bly was bred to be fiercely loyal to the Republic and his superior officers . As a clone commander , he was allowed much more initiative and independence than his fellow clone troopers . Despite this , he always valued the mission as the most important thing in any situation , even over the wellbeing of his comrades . Bly felt it was better that he didn ' t have to concern himself with the politics or minutiae of his missions and was happy just to execute his orders . His unswerving dedication to the Republic and his objectives would lead him to deeply mistrust Quinlan Vos , even though Secura had assured him otherwise . Bly attributed his mistrust of Vos to his instincts , which he had received from his clone template , Jango Fett . Despite his feelings toward Vos , he respected the Jedi ' s abilities in combat . He also advocated Vos ' killing of Noghri in cold blood , considering that the enemy would not hesitate to do the same to Bly or his allies . Nevertheless , his instincts told him to open fire on Vos when the situation on Honoghr intensified , despite Secura ' s orders . Bly respected Secura ' s talents , namely her ability to successfully complete missions in a prompt fashion .
