CC - 1138 / Legends CC - 1138 , nicknamed " Bacara , " was a clone trooper commander who served in the Grand Army of the Republic . Cloned on the planet Kamino , Bacara received initial training from the former Concord Dawn Journeyman Protector Cort Davin , who taught the young clone the ideals and traditions of the Journeyman Protectors . At some point , the Clone Commander learned space and land - based fighting . Bacara was given command of the Galactic Marines , which was attached to the 4th Sector Army . Following the battle that triggered the Clone Wars in 22 BBY , Bacara fought alongside several Jedi , including Jedi Master and Council member Ki - Adi - Mundi . During the war , Bacara and the Galactic Marines earned a reputation as one of the most feared Republic units . Taking a break from the battlefield , Bacara joined ARC trooper Alpha - 17 ' s ARC program and graduated early . In 21 BBY , the Clone Commander joined Jedi General Mundi on the snow - covered world Mygeeto to fight against Confederate troops . As a result of the Mygeeto campaign , the relationship between the Republic and InterGalactic Banking Clan grew worse , and Bacara and Mundi found themselves locked in a three year conflict . Bacara did , however , leave Mygeeto for sometime and fought in a brutal Outer Rim Sieges battle on New Bornalex . With Mundi and the Marines , Bacara returned to Mygeeto in the final year of the war . On Mygeeto , the 501st Legion , with the help of Bacara ' s Marines , executed Hammertong , a top secret project given to the 501st by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine . As the fighting intensified , Palpatine ordered Bacara to execute Order 66 — a which labeled Jedi as traitors and enemies of the Republic — via comlink . Complying with the order , which also called for the extermination of Jedi , Bacara and the Marines fired on Mundi and killed the Jedi Master . Biography . Independent clone . Clone Commander 1138 , nicknamed Bacara , was a clone of the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett . His initial training came from a former Concord Dawn Journeyman Protector by the name of Cort Davin . Among the many topics that Davin imparted upon Bacara were the traditions , history , and language of the Journeyman Protectors . Bacara grew to associate with the traditions which Davin taught him , and began to think of himself as a man of law and order . However , as a result of this training in the traditions and culture of the Journeyman Protectors , Bacara found it increasingly difficult to communicate in " Mando ' a " . The Clone Commander , who had learned the Concord Dawn dialect of the Journeyman Protectors , would use " " tat " " during his conversations instead of the Mandalorian " " vod " " for brother ; these minor differences caused Bacara to develop into a solitary commander . Although different in comparison to his brethren , Bacara had a close friendship with CC - 8826 , nicknamed " Neyo . " Following the introduction of the newly invented BARC speeders , Bacara and Neyo worked together to create military tactics for the speeder bike . Sometime after the completion of his clone training , the Clone Commander was given the command of the 21st Nova Corps , also known as the Galactic Marines , a unit of the Grand Army of the Republic ' s 4th Sector Army . In 22 BBY , the Battle of Geonosis triggered the galaxy - wide conflict known as the Clone Wars . To help defeat the Confederacy of Independent Systems and its military forces , Bacara fought alongside several Jedi , including Jedi Master and Council member Ki - Adi - Mundi . Bacara would develop a friendship with Mundi , and the Cerean Jedi Master even regarded the Clone Commander ' s behavior and aggressive tactics " as a thing of prodigy . " However , at some point during the war , Bacara allowed himself to leave the battlefield and enter a training regimen run by the ARC trooper Alpha - 17 , nicknamed " Alpha . " The program was designed to bring out the independence and tactical genius which was dormant within all clones . The Clone Commander graduated early from Alpha ' s program . By 21 BBY , the Republic had issues dealing with the InterGalactic Banking Clan . To counter their threat , Bacara , Mundi and the Galactic Marines were sent to the IBC world Mygeeto . On the snow - covered world , the group met with Jedi Knight Rivi - Anu and fought against an entrenched Separatist enemy who had managed to cripple a Republic " Venator " - class Star Destroyer . The Star Destroyer threatened to crash on the battlefield and destroy the entire area — Rivi Anu , however , used the Force to keep the damaged ship aloft just enough to allow Ki - Adi - Mundi , Bacara , and the other Republic forces to retreat to relative safety . Once her allies had made it to safety , Anu allowed the Star Destroyer to fall , which killed her in the ensuing explosion . As a result of the fighting on Mygeeto , the Republic ' s relationship with the InterGalactic Banking Clan worsened . The fight for Mygeeto eventually degenerated into an extended campaign of urban fighting amid the massive ruins of the Mygeeto cityscape . During the push against the Separatist forces , Bacara led his Galactic Marines in the taking of the city Jygat . This battle saw Bacara order the use of glacier - busters , a type of weapon whose seismic shocks could be felt from a far distance . Along with Ki - Adi - Mundi , Bacara led the Galactic Marines through fierce firefights from house to house , slowly beginning to push the Separatist defenders back . Months following Mygeeto , Bacara and the Galactic Marines fought in the brutal Battle of New Bornalex during the Outer Rim Sieges . The battle witnessed Bacara lead the Marines in fighting against the combined Separatist – Mandalorian defensive force ; the Marines were also using a prototype strength - enhancing armor during the fighting . Mid - way through the battle , the weapons of the experimental armor failed , leaving Bacara and his Marines with only their hands to fight . Refusing to retreat , Bacara ordered his forces to continue the fight — using their enhanced strength , the Marines literally tore apart the B2 super battle droids which they were fighting , eventually decimating the enemy forces . Due to the fierce fighting that they demonstrated on New Bornalex , the Galactic Marines earned a ferocious reputation — one which Bacara was extremely proud of . Order 66 . When Bacara and Mundi returned to Mygeeto as of 19 BBY , the fighting for Mygeeto ' s capital city worsened . In an effort to slow the Republic advance , the Separatists used their enormous tri - droids to lay waste to the cities . The Republic , likewise , used their artillery pieces to hammer the enemy , but managed to only aid in pounding the landscape into rubble . As a result of the incessant artillery bombardments from both sides , the skies of Mygeeto were a constantly dark gray ash which was carried by the icy winds across the planet . To aid the Marines , several detachments of the 501st Legion were sent to the icy world in the execution of Project Hammertong , a top - secret mission aimed at acquiring a power crystal for a secret super - weapon of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine ' s . After Mundi ordered his troops to push against the Separatists , Bacara received Order 66 via an encrypted channel directly from Palpatine — effectively labeled Ki - Adi - Mundi , along with the rest of the Jedi , as traitors and enemies of the Republic . Even though he had a grudging respect for Ki - Adi - Mundi and the other Jedi , Bacara ' s ultimate loyalty lay with Palpatine and the Republic , and he did not hesitate when given the order from his supreme commander . As the General led the Marines in a charge against the Separatists , Bacara and the surrounding troopers stopped , raised their rifles , and gunned down the bewildered Jedi in a hail of blaster fire . Bacara was later glad that he had killed the Jedi Master , as he considered the Jedi to have been traitors for trying to overthrow the government . Personality and traits . Due to his training by the ex - Journeyman Protector Cort Davin , Bacara received a different upbringing than the vast majority of his clone brothers . Learning the traditions , history , and language of the Protectors , Bacara came to see himself not only as a soldier , but also as a lawman as prescribed by the traditions which Davin had taught him . As a result , his learning of the language of Concord Dawn alienated him from many of his fellow clones , who often chose to speak in " Mando ' a " . This caused him to become an independent individual who was often viewed as a loner by other clones . Bacara was an extremely efficient clone commander , and exceeded at his natural job as a soldier bred for war . The talents that he exhibited early on in the Clone Wars allowed for him to be selected as one of only a hundred clone troopers for specialized ARC training . Under the direction of Alpha - 17 , Bacara excelled at the ARC training regimen that allowed the clones to express their individuality . His ARC training enhanced his naturally aggressive tendencies , and honed Bacara into an even more finely tuned machine of war . His training and aggressiveness came to a point when he was given Order 66 — even though he held a grudging respect for Ki - Adi - Mundi , his discipline and training took over , and he executed the Jedi General without question . Bacara ' s new - found individuality spread quickly throughout the upper echelon of the Galactic Marines . Being one of the most independent and outspoken of the ARC commanders , Bacara expected nothing but the best from the soldiers under his command . Wanting only the best to serve in the Galactic Marines , Bacara would not hesitate to transfer to another unit whose troopers failed to meet his high expectations . Excellent training fostered camaraderie , and camaraderie fostered attention to detail — when soldiers developed a fraternal bond with those they served with , they often chose to take extra measures to ensure their fellow soldiers survived . Bacara used Alpha - 17 ' s training program as a guide , and drilled the Galactic Marines into an elite unit , which was often called upon to act as a quick reaction force anywhere within the galaxy . Bacara ' s dedication to his troops , combined with his aggressive tactics , earned the clone the admiration of his leader , the Jedi Ki - Adi - Mundi . Following his completion of Alpha - 17 ' s ARC program , Bacara instituted his own tough training program for the soldiers under his command . Under his leadership and direction , the Galactic Marines were eventually trained into a highly efficient , and elite , quick reaction force . His leadership was again demonstrated on the world of New Bornalex which saw a fierce battle erupt against the Separatist forces and the Galactic Marines under Bacara ' s command . During the battle the Marines found that their prototype weapons had malfunctioned , and were left with only their suit - enhanced strength to fight with . Refusing to surrender or retreat , Bacara issued the order to advance , knowing full well that that order may have resulted in the destruction of the soldiers under his command . Bacara and the Marines , however , demonstrated their bravery and dedication by fighting and destroying the enemy droids with only their hands . Equipment . Part of the Galactic Marines , Bacara participated in fierce fighting campaigns , such as the Battle of New Bornalex . During the battle , Bacara and his unit wore experimental strength - enhancing armor . Despite the prototype armor ' s malfunction during the battle , the defective armor allowed Bacara to engage B2 super battle droids in hand - to - hand combat . After New Bornalex , Bacara began to sport Phase II clone trooper armor , which he utilized on Mygeeto . Because of Mygeeto ' s weather conditions , the Clone Commander ' s helmet featured blizzard protection side plates , and his armor ' s leggings had kneecap armor . During the early days of the Battle of Mygeeto , Bacara sported a white macrobinocular on his helmet , a utility belt , and wore an ammunition pouch bandolier . Later , Bacara added an anti - blast " kama " , and a pauldron , to his Phase II armor set . His " kama " and pauldron sported maroon - colored decorations . Bacara carried a DC - 15A blaster rifle and a DC - 15S blaster carbine in battle . Behind the scenes . Though Bacara ' s numerical designation of 1138 is not mentioned in the film , it can be seen within the script for where he is identified as Commander 1138 . The number itself is an obvious reference to George Lucas ' first feature film , " " . When CC - 1138 first appeared in the film " Revenge of the Sith " , some fans noticed that his helmet and armor closely resembled that of the snowtroopers from . The armor that CC - 1138 and the other Galactic Marines used in Episode III was , in fact , inspired by the snowtrooper designs of Episode V ; building off of this inspiration , CC - 1138 ' s helmet ' s open - facemask design was first developed for clone tank drivers who were meant to have been operating in rough environments . Some concept art had identified as a " Clone Tank Driver " . It ' s possible that the clone was originally intended to command a HAVw A6 Juggernaut during the Order 66 montage . In fact , during the shooting scripts , an HAVw A6 Juggernaut was to open fire under Yoda ' s command post on Kashyyyk . A continuity error was established in " " . In the novel , Bacara led his Galactic Marines on Mygeeto in 21 BBY . This was later clarified as the " Star Wars Character Encyclopedia " confirmed that the Battle of Mygeeto began in 21 BBY . Due to the fact that CC - 1138 and Ki - Adi - Mundi appear in several other battles following Mygeeto in 21 BBY , this article assumes that CC - 1138 and Mundi return to Mygeeto sometime around the events of " Star Wars Episode III : Revenge of the Sith " .
