A Human clone of the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett , hailing from the planet Kamino , served the Galactic Republic as a clone trooper in the Grand Army during the Clone Wars , which was initiated on the Outer Rim world Geonosis in 22 BBY . At some point during the war , the trooper was designated to Post 473 on a world , where he was positioned atop a cannon overlooking a bridge and ordered by his commander to await the Separatist Droid Army , which was due to arrive in three hours . With Republic reinforcements delayed , the lone trooper was the only resistance that the droids would face on their way to a nearby mining colony . He was tasked with destroying a bridge across the canyon , halting their advance . He began to adjust the alignment of his rocket launcher , but the trooper was interrupted by one of the local creatures stealing the rockets for the cannon . The creature took the rockets and darted into a nearby hole . The clone followed the creature and took back his rockets , only to find that the tunnel was not stable enough to support his weight . The creature fled , leaving the clone — still clutching the rockets — to fall into a subterranean lake , where he equipped a rebreather so that he could survive under the surface . As soon as he reacquired the rockets , the clone was attacked and swallowed by a massive underwater creature . However , he managed to shoot a hole in the creature ' s stomach and swim his way out . Freed from its belly , he was subsequently swept away by the underground current . Noticing that there was a waterfall up ahead , the clone attempted to cling onto a rock but was soon found by the same creature as before . The creature banged on the clone ' s hands with another rock , causing him to lose his grip . The trooper fell over the waterfall , only to land safely and find himself at the base of the bridge he was meant to destroy . He then saw that the Separatists were in the middle of their crossing , and also located the rockets at the bottom of one of the bridge ' s support beams . Thinking quickly , the clone used his blaster pistol and shot the rockets , causing them to detonate , resulting in the bridge exploding and collapsing , and destroying the droid army . Wet and tired , the trooper returned to his previous station , ready to pack up the cannon and move on to his next assignment . However , the small creatures from before then darted in front of him , stealing the cannon and running away . The clone chased after the two creatures once more . Personality and traits . The clone trooper expressed frustration when the two creatures made off with his equipment . Nevertheless , he was determined to find the rockets , and he found a way to complete his goal of destroying the bridge without using the cannon he originally intended to use . He wore Phase I clone trooper armor with red markings and was equipped with a blaster pistol and a rebreather . The clone had the same physical characteristics as Jango Fett ; the trooper had black hair that was parted by a line , brown eyes , and tan skin . He also stood 1 . 83 meters . Behind the scenes . The clone trooper first appeared in the short story " Waiting " , which was one of four stories in the of the " " trade paperbacks . He was created and drawn by Matthew and Shawn Fillbach .
