Biography . Clone Wars . CC - 1010 , a clone who went by the nickname " Fox , " was bred from the genetic material of Jango Fett as part of a program to grow an army on the the planet Kamino . In 22 BBY , approximately one decade after the initial creation of the clone army , Fox and his brethren were called to service by the Galactic Republic , resulting in the formation of the Grand Army of the Republic and the start of the Clone Wars . While thousands of clone trooper s served on the front lines under the leadership of the Jedi Order , Fox was stationed on Coruscant where he served as commander of the Coruscant Guard . Under Fox ' s command , the Guard served as peacekeepers on the Republic capital and were also responsible for the safety of the Galactic Senate as well as Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine . Protecting Coruscant . During the mission to rescue Rotta , son of Jabba Desilijic Tiure , the Hutt crime lord Ziro made Senator Padmé Amidala his prisoner in order to prevent her from exposing his part in Rotta ' s abduction . She was ultimately liberated by the efforts of Commander Fox and a contingent of clone shock trooper s who raided Ziro ' s establishment in Galactic City , having been informed of the Hutt ' s illegal actions by Amidala ' s protocol droid C - 3PO . After eliminating the security droid s , Fox arrested Ziro who , confessed his betrayal to Jabba before being taken to prison at the Republic Judiciary Central Detention Center . The capture of Ziro consequently led to a crisis on Coruscant when a group of senators were taken hostage by several mercenaries , including the bounty hunter Cad Bane . In response , a squad of shock troopers secured the Chancellor ' s office in the Senate headquarters while Fox and his troop s surrounded the detention center to prevent Ziro ' s escape . In spite of his efforts , Fox was forced to allow the bounty hunters to leave with Ziro in order to save Bane ' s hostages . In 21 BBY , a group of modified demolition droid s were sent to disrupt the Confederate – Republic peace initiative on Coruscant . At the time Fox was tasked with protecting the central power distribution grid on Level 5000 . The droids deceived him with a security clearance code , which Fox deemed authentic . As a result , the droids completed their mission by destroying power grid , causing a city - wide blackout on Coruscant . Infuriated by the Confederacy ' s terrorist attack on the galactic capital , the Senate rejected the peace initiative . Hunting fugitives . Following the terrorist attack on the Jedi Temple of Coruscant in 19 BBY , Letta Turmond was imprisoned in the Republic Center for Military Operations due to her participation in the attack . Ahsoka Tano , the Jedi Padawan who arrested the terrorist , visited the facility at Turmond ' s request , but was required to surrender her lightsaber s to Commander Fox as a security precaution . Although the clone initially praised Tano for bringing Turmond to justice , he was compelled to arrest her after Turmond was strangled to death by way of the Force . Unknown to Fox , Turmond was murdered by the fallen Jedi Barriss Offee , whose distorted views led her to commit acts of betrayal and terrorism . Offee further tainted her incarcerated comrade ' s reputation by killing three clone officers with her lightsaber , leading Fox to believe that Tano was the culprit . In response to Tano ' s escape attempt , Fox deployed the Coruscant Guard alongside Jedi General Anakin Skywalker and Clone Captain CT - 7567 ( " Rex " ) as they pursued the Jedi escapee . In the aftermath of the incident with Tano , whose innocence was proven after Skywalker disrupted her trial to reveal Offee as the real traitor , Fox was ordered to hunt another fugitive — the ARC trooper CT - 5555 ( " Fives " ) of the 501st Legion . Fives fled from the Grand Republic Medical Facility where he had attempted to assassinate Chancellor Palpatine after learning of his involvement in a conspiracy to destroy the Jedi Order . Tracking the renegade clone to Level 1315 , Fox and a contingent of clone shock troopers confronted Fives , demanding that he stand down . In his panic and desperation , the ARC trooper raised a blaster pistol at the approaching guards , but Fox opened fire , killing Fives with a shot through his heart . Order 66 . During Order 66 and the attack on the Jedi Temple in the early stages of the Jedi Purge , Commander Fox participated in its implementation on Coruscant along with the other clones . As a result , he regarded the Jedi — who had been accused of treason by Chancellor Palpatine — as agitators . Imperial service . Following the initiation of Order 66 and the Republic ' s transformation into the Galactic Empire , Fox and a group of clone shock troopers were patrolling the grounds of Coruscant . The Jedi Master and librarian Jocasta Nu used the Force to mind trick the guards in order to pass them safely . She then proceeded to infiltrate the Jedi Temple through a secret doorway . Soon after , Nu ' s presence was discovered in the Jedi Temple , and Darth Vader ordered the Coruscant Guard to lock down the perimeter . Fox deployed two full companies alongside a contingent of Coruscant Security Force . Before entering the Temple to capture Nu , Vader left Fox and his shock troopers with orders to keep the Temple under lockdown . After a confrontation with Vader and the Grand Inquisitor , she escaped through a hole made by her on the temple ' s wall . As the Sith Lord went after her , Fox ' s men had him mistaken for a Jedi and opened fire . The commander ordered them to stop , but Vader , angry that Fox had not provided them with his description , broke his neck , killing him . Personality and traits . Commander Fox was a human male clone who stood at 1 . 83 meter s , a physical trait he inherited from his template Jango Fett . He was also a fearless soldier who led the elite Coruscant Guard shock troopers into combat , and was always the first to charge into battle . As with the rest of the Guard , Fox possessed a strong sense of duty and honor which compelled him to loyally serve and protect the Republic ' s highest governing body — the Galactic Senate and the Supreme Chancellor . His service was exemplary , leading him to become one of the most highly decorated soldiers in the Grand Army of the Republic . Like the rest of his clone brethren , Fox was fiercely loyal to the Galactic Republic , and had little patience for criminals such as the terrorist Letta Turmond . When Turmond died in her cell , Fox stated that he did not personally blame Ahsoka Tano , but nonetheless arrested her as a suspect for the murder of Turmond . Later , he unhesitatingly ordered his guards to kill Tano , whom he believed responsible for the deaths of several clones during her escape , but grudgingly complied with Anakin Skywalker ' s orders to capture the Padawan alive . After Fives ' failed attempt to kill Chancellor Palpatine , Fox executed the rogue ARC trooper , but not before giving him a chance to surrender . Equipment . As a clone soldier who served in the early period of the Clone Wars , Commander Fox wore the standard Phase I clone trooper armor albeit with the crimson markings and original pattern design of the Coruscant Guard . In addition to his armor , Fox wore a kama and a customized helmet similar to the one worn by CC - 2224 of the 212th Attack Battalion . With the introduction of Phase II clone trooper armor , Fox switched to the upgraded version alongside his unit . His new armor was colored mainly in red which in fact is the inverted color scheme of the standard kit of the clone shock troopers . His weapons included the standard DC - 15 blaster rifle and a pair of DC - 17 hand blaster s .
