Biography . " Jark " was the nickname of a clone cold assault trooper who , like many of his genetic " brothers , " was cloned from the DNA of the bounty hunter Jango Fett and raised on the planet Kamino to serve in the Grand Army of the Republic . During the Clone Wars , Jark was a member of the Devil Dogs , a special detachment of the Grand Army ' s 44th Special Operations Division , commanded by Major Kendal Ozzel . Around 22 BBY , Jark was among the clone troopers dispatched to the planet Khorm to secure the rich deposits of the valuable agrocite mineral . However , by the time the Galactic Republic task force led by Jedi Masters Plo Koon , Kit Fisto , and Tauht arrived at its destination , the planet had fallen into the hands of the Confederacy of Independent Systems , and the Republic was forced to engage the enemy in battle . The Jedi landed their initial ground troops , including Jark and the Devil Dogs , but were unable to bring in reinforcements due to a storm that raged in Khorm ' s atmosphere . Nevertheless , the Republic forces were able to capture an agrocite processing facility , establishing a base there . After they were informed by Republic Admiral Wieler of a Confederate starship passing through an opening in the storm , the Jedi realized that the storm was being controlled by a weather - control station nearby and decided to destroy it . To that end , Koon and Fisto took a detachment of Devil Dogs clone troopers , including Jark , and set off on CK - 6 swoop bikes to take down the station . After they reached the mountain area , the group witnessed a native Khormai village devastated by the storm . Using their lightsabers , the Jedi carved graves for the dead Khormai in the ice . Devil Dogs Captain Sharp then ordered Jark and fellow trooper Fixer to help the Jedi bury the Khormai , after which the Republic strike force continued on its way . As the group proceeded further , they were ambushed by Confederate Dark Acolyte Asajj Ventress , who proceeded to fight Koon and Fisto . Meanwhile , several BX - series droid commandos emerged from the snow , and the clones engaged them in battle . Cornered by the two Jedi Masters , Ventress used the Force to bring down an avalanche upon the Republic troops . Ventress then initiated a search for survivors and killed those she could find before leaving the scene . Ultimately , Jark was among the casualties sustained in the fight . Nevertheless , the Jedi — who had managed to create a Force pocket to protect some of the troops buried under the snow — and what remained of their clone squad successfully destroyed the weather - control station , allowing the Republic to win the battle . Personality and traits . Like all clone troopers , Jark stood 1 . 83 meters tall . He wore a set of cold assault trooper armor adorned with the red markings of the Devil Dogs . Behind the scenes . Jark was featured in the issues of the 2009 " " story arc of the . Both issues were written by Henry Gilroy and Steven Melching , and illustrated by Scott Hepburn . Throughout the majority of the two issues , it is not established which one of the clone troopers accompanying Fisto and Koon is Jark ; the only instance where he can be clearly identified is in the scene in which he buries the Khormai along with Fixer .
