A clone of the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett , this male Human was born on the aquatic world of Kamino , located in the remote Wild Space region of the galaxy . Over the following years , he was trained as a clone commando to serve in the Grand Army of the Republic . Following the Battle of Geonosis that triggered the outbreak of the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems , the clone soldier was deployed with the rest of the Grand Army and like all of his commando comrades , joined the ranks of Special Operations Brigade , a special forces unit within the Grand Army made up of clone commandos and Advanced Recon Commandos . Six months after the events of Geonosis , the commando was serving as a member of White Squad , a commando unit led by clone sergeant RC - 1013 — a man known by the nickname of " Sarge " . He and his squad , in addition to the members of Blue Squad , were summoned to the headquarters of Republic Intelligence , where they were met by an ARC trooper intelligence officer in yellow - marked armor . The ARC trooper informed the assembled commandos that a package sent by Malastarian diplomats and intended for Supreme Chancellor Palpatine had been intercepted while en route and stolen by a gang of Trandoshan bounty hunters . The eight commandos were then tasked with retrieving the stolen package from the Trandoshans , a mission that was to take place on Ord Mantell . At midday on Ord Mantell , the commandos put their ambush into action , with the members of White Squad taking position on a rooftop while Blue Squad blocked the street the Trandoshans were traveling by landspeeders not far away . This commando provided surveillance for the squad using his sniper rifle , identifying the package they had been sent after aboard the second in a convoy of three speeders the bounty hunters were piloting . His squadmate opened fire with a missile launcher , destroying the lead speeder and killing the Trandoshans within ; the missile strike also signaled Blue Squad to engage the enemy , rushing the target speeder . The Trandoshans fled , throwing a number of thermal detonators from their vehicle that exploded in the wake of their escape , killing Blue Squad . However , the commando sniper was able to shoot the pilot of the second fleeing speeder in the head , killing him instantly and sending the vehicle out of control before crashing in a burst of flame . The final speeder , the one carrying the package the commandos had been tasked with recovering , sped away in the direction of the industrial yards , with the sniper and his squad following in a speeder of their own , piloted by White Squad ' s fourth member . Tracking the Trandoshan bounty hunters to a courtyard in the industrial yards , White Squad split up to search for mercenaries . The squad ' s pilot located the Trandoshans first , falling quickly to fire from the group of Confederacy battle droids that had been sent to make the buy for the package . White Squad ' s sergeant tossed an EMP grenade through the door , shorting out the droids before he and the other members of the squad burst in , destroying the droids with their DC - 17m blaster rifles . The Trandoshans had run behind a secondary blast door however , which the clone sniper and his team were forced to blow their way through before engaging the bounty hunters . The squad ' s ordnance specialist died from a hail of Trandoshan fire , but a grenade from the affectionately known " Sarge " , killed all but one of the remaining bounty hunters . The Trandoshan leader emerged from his hidden cover and fired on White Squad ' s sniper , his shot striking the ordnance module on the commando ' s backpack , killing him in the resultant explosion . Sarge futilely reached out to his dead brother , but accepting that there was nothing he could do for him , the squad sergeant attacked the final bounty hunter , pinning him to the ground before ending his life with the vibroblade housed in his gauntlet ' s knuckle plate . Sarge recovered the package , and saw its safe return to Coruscant and into the hands of Chancellor Palpatine . Equipment . This commando served as White Squad ' s " de facto " sniper during the mission to Ord Mantell , and in addition to the DC - 17m blaster rifle standard to all clone commandos , he wielded an additional sniper rifle with a significantly longer barrel and stock , one which he used with lethal accuracy . The commando also wore " Katarn " - class commando armor , and decorated the armor with patched of the color blue . His helmet was adorned with macrobinoculars , enhancing the advanced HUD system built into the helmet . Behind the scenes . In 2005 , the of the comics introduced two squads of Republic commandos with the story " The Package " . Though unnamed in the story itself , Wookieepedia uses the conjectural title of " White Squad " for the squad led by Sarge , in contrast to the equally conjectural " Blue Squad " for the sake of reference .
