Unidentified clone trooper ( Brentaal IV ) A clone trooper was one of the many clones who served in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars . In 21 BBY , he participated in the Battle of Brentaal IV under the command of Jedi General Shaak Ti . Spurred by a fake intelligence report , the Republic rushed in to retake Brentaal IV from clan leader Shogar Tok , who was affiliated with the Confederacy of Independent Systems . However , the Republic troops found themselves under heavy fire from Tok ' s soldiers and Confederate battle droids . Separated from the rest of their forces , Ti , the trooper , and two more clone soldiers retreated into a nearby prison facility , where they assisted three inmates , the Human Sagoro Autem , the Zeltron Lyshaa , and the Wookiee Ryyk , in defeating the prison ' s guards . The other two clones were killed in the course of the fight . Along with Jedi Master Quinlan Vos , whom Ti found inside the prison ' s solitary confinement , Ti decided to infiltrate Tok ' s fortress and perform acts of sabotage in order to assist the Republic forces in their assault . After Ryyk was killed by a scrange creature on approach to the fortress , the trooper was assigned to take out the fortress ' s deflector shield generator single - handedly , while the others would try to take out Tok ' s powerful ion cannons , or capture the clan leader himself . The trooper succeeded in reaching his target but was fatally wounded by Tok ' s soldiers who guarded the generator . After Tok ' s men left him for dead , the trooper rigged his weapon on overload , and it exploded , destroying the generator and killing the trooper in the process . The trooper ' s sacrifice was one of the key factors that allowed the Republic to win the battle . Biography . A clone of the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett , a clone trooper was bred on the planet Kamino to serve the Galactic Republic alongside his clone brethren in the ranks of its Grand Army . In 21 BBY , the clone trooper participated in a battle on the planet Brentaal IV , during which the Republic tried to quell an insurgency led by Confederate - allied clan leader Shogar Tok . The loss of Brentaal meant the loss of access to the vital Perlemian Trade Route for the Republic , and the impeding of passage into the Tion Hegemony . The battle began after the Republic received intelligence bearing the signature of Quinlan Vos , a Jedi Master working undercover as a criminal named " Korto Vos . " The message assured the Republic command that the way was clear for an attack and there would be no resistance from the rebels . Upon receiving this information , the Republic immediately followed with an attack on Brentaal IV . Jedi General Plo Koon oversaw the invasion from a Republic fleet in orbit , while Generals Agen Kolar , Shon Kon Ray , and Shaak Ti led the ground forces . The clone trooper fought among Ti ' s troops during the battle . However , the intelligence report had little to do with reality , and the Republic army faced heavy resistance from the rebels , who were assisted by Confederate battle droids . Tok himself commanded his troops from a ground fortress , which harassed Republic landing troops with fire from its powerful ion cannons , forcing Koon to recall all remaining landing craft from the surface . The fortress itself was surrounded by an energy shield , protecting it from orbital bombardment . Within the first few moments of the battle , the Republic lost more than a quarter of its forces , including General Kon Ray . As they fought the enemy , Ti , the trooper , and two of his comrades were cut off from the rest of Ti ' s forces . Koon then informed Ti of a prison facility located just north of their position . Ti planned to occupy the building and rally her forces from there . The trooper and his two clone brothers followed the Jedi General to the prison building , witnessing from afar that a battle was raging there . Once Ti and the troopers entered the prison , they found three escaped inmates — the Human Sagoro Autem , the Zeltron Lyshaa , and the berserk Wookiee Ryyk — fighting the guards . Ti ordered the troopers to attack the guards , and they complied . In the ensuing firefight , one of the other troopers was cut down by blaster fire and the other one killed by the maddened Ryyk . The trooper himself suffered the loss of his helmet , which was slashed by the Wookiee ' s machete . Ti then used the Force to slam Ryyk into a wall , knocking him out , while the trooper and the inmates dealt with the remaining guards . As Ryyk started to come to his senses , the trooper asked permission from Ti to restrain him , but the Jedi instead calmed him down with the help of the Force . Sensing another presence inside the prison , Ti went to the solitary confinement , where she found Vos , who revealed to her that he had not been the one who sent the transmission . Intent on completing her mission , Ti devised a three - way plan . She , the trooper , Vos , and the inmates would split into three groups , and , using Vos ' s knowledge of the access points and the layout of Tok ' s fortress , they would attempt to either capture Tok , sabotage the fortress ' s shields , or take out the ion cannons . If any of those objectives was to succeed , it would greatly improve the Republic ' s chances of winning the fight . Ti contacted General Kolar , who was still fighting on the surface , telling him to attack the fortress from the north , distracting its defenders , while the sabotage teams would approach from the south . Koon , meanwhile , would seemingly withdraw all his forces , only to return four hours later when the sabotage had been performed . Autem , Lyshaa , and Ryyk were initially reluctant to participate in the sabotage , but they agreed when Ti promised them amnesty , despite the fact that Lyshaa had been serving her time for murdering Ti ' s Padawan , Fe Sun . The group then set off toward Tok ' s fortress , going through the sewers , where they were attacked by a scrange creature , which killed Ryyk . With an uneven number of operatives left , the trooper was assigned to attack the fortress ' s shield generator by himself . While Ti and Lyshaa left to confront Tok , Vos and Autem — whose target was the cannons — accompanied the trooper for some of the way before they had to split up . On their way , the three witnessed a number of Brentaal rebels moving captured Republic clone troopers . Seeing this as an opportunity , Vos and Autem came up with a plan to fool the guards . The trooper posed as their prisoner , while the two moved toward the rebels . Autem , who had been a Senate Guard and thus accustomed to how security worked , told the rebels that he and Vos were transporting the " prisoner " for questioning , and the rebels let the three through . After that , Vos gave the trooper final directions to the shield generator , and the team split up . The trooper managed to reach the generator unnoticed but found it heavily guarded ; Lyshaa had switched sides and informed Tok of the infiltration teams , and he had alerted the fortress ' s guards . With time running out , the trooper charged the guards with his blaster rifle blazing , cutting down several of them before being blasted onto the generator core by a shot from a grenade launcher and losing his consciousness from heavy wounds . The guards believed him to be dead and left the generator room , and soon after that the trooper regained consciousness . Knowing his injuries to be fatal , and determined to finish the mission at all costs , he rigged his blaster to overload and remained seated on the generator as his weapon blew up , annihilating both him and the generator . That , combined with Vos ' s and Autem ' s successful destruction of the cannons , Ti ' s killing of Tok , and Lyshaa ' s death by one of the fortress ' s traps , ensured the conquest of Brentaal IV by the Republic forces . Personality and traits . Like all clone troopers , the trooper stood 1 . 83 meters tall . He had black hair and brown eyes . The trooper was cautious , offering to Ti to restrain Ryyk , who had killed one of the clones and damaged the trooper ' s helmet . He was generally very quiet and not talkative , a fact that Autem jokingly acknowledged by telling him not to talk so much right before they parted ways on the way to their respective sabotage targets . The trooper was a loyal soldier , and he was willing to sacrifice his life in the name of the Republic . Before his valiant death , the trooper took solace in the fact that he had done his duty to the best of his ability . Behind the scenes .

In the original comic book , the Battle of Brentaal was said to have taken place five months after the Battle of Geonosis , placing it in the year 22 BBY . However , the 2009 reference book " The Essential Atlas " by Jason Fry and Daniel Wallace provided the date of the battle , and therefore the clone trooper ' s death , as 21 BBY .
