In 19 BBY , Thorn and a group of shock trooper s escorted Senator Padmé Amidala and Rush Clovis to the planet Scipio , home of the InterGalactic Banking Clan ' s vaults . After corruption was found in the previous ruling council , Clovis was elected to lead the Banking Clan with the support of the Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems on the condition that he would work in the interests of both factions . Upon arriving on Scipio , Amidala and Clovis entered the Main Vault fortress with the Separatist representative Bec Lawise , leaving Thorn and his troopers to guard their ships outside of the main compound . Thorn assured Amidala that the clone trooper s would remain close by in case the senator required their assistance . Clovis assumed control of the banks but was later forced by the Confederate leader Count Dooku to raise interest rates on the Republic . Afterward , Dooku sent an invasion force to occupy Scipio so he could frame Clovis for conducting a Separatist takeover of the banks . Thorn learned of the invasion as it approached and , realizing that his men ' s position on the landing platform was vulnerable , he ordered the clones to retreat into the city . By then a squadron of " Hyena " - class bombers arrived and destroyed their gunship s and their " Consular " - class cruiser . Unable to reach the senator , Thorn used a comlink to contact Amidala and advised her to find a way to escape from Scipio . A force of B2 and commando battle droid s intercepted the clones and surrounded them , forcing Thorn and his soldier s to make their last stand outside of the Main Vault . As the fight progressed , more clone troopers began to fall , while Thorn destroyed numerous droid s with his Z - 6 rotary blaster cannon , known as " the Hammer . " He continued to fight after the last of his troopers were killed , destroying more droids despite being wounded by a blaster bolt . As the droids closed in around him , Thorn used his blaster cannon as a melee weapon to keep them away and defiantly shouted a Republic war cry before ultimately dying in battle . Despite the loss of Thorn and his men , the Republic military defeated the Separatist army and occupied Scipio , allowing Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine to take control of the Banking Clan .
