RC - 2088 RC - 2088 , nicknamed " Zag , " was a Clone commando and sergeant of Theta Squadron . Later , after the rest of his squad was killed in action , he was reassigned to Aiwha Squad . Biography . During the height of the Clone Wars , RC - 2088 ' s squadron was assigned to protect Lorca Oviedo en route to a conference on Aviles Prime , accompanying him in their CR25 troop carrier . Oviedo was a prominent industrialist loyal to the Confederacy of Independent Systems , who had obtained a contract to build and ship weaponry for the Grand Army of the Republic . This was part of a plan to expose levels of troop strength and deployment to Wat Tambor . When the convoy was en route back from Aviles Prime , Oviedo ' s Republic Cruiser reported a life support system failure , requiring that the cruiser and the clone escort drop out of hyperspace . They came out near Asturias , an abandoned factory moon , hoping to repair Oviedo ' s ship . As soon as they exited hyperspace , however , a droid control ship attacked them , severely damaging both ships and causing them to crash land on Asturias . Of the eighteen man group of clones aboard the CR25 , only seven survived the crash . Deciding they had to continue their mission , they made their way to the crash site of Oviedo ' s ship . There they made a shocking discovery - not only was the ship undamaged in the attack and had not crashed at all , its life support systems had never failed in the first place . The crew of the ship had been executed , and the clones found B1 battle droid footprints , along with those of a single human , leading away from the ship . Following the footsteps , they discovered Oviedo speaking with Wat Tambor via hologram . The Separatist attack was a setup , facilitated to create the illusion that Oviedo had not defected from the Republic , but rather was captured . As the droids and Oviedo believed all the clones to have perished , the commandos used the element of surprise to destroy the B1s and capture Oviedo . They then were forced to run a gauntlet of attacks on their way back to Oviedo ' s shuttle , fending off B1 and B2 super battle droids , Droidekas , and Vulture droids , all the while losing man after man . RC - 2088 ' s helmet was knocked off and his face seriously scarred in one attack , but he managed to get Oviedo aboard the ship and escape to Coruscant . Unfortunately , Oviedo would die under mysterious circumstances once he landed . Later , RC - 2088 reported the outcome of his mission to Jedi Master Yoda and Mace Windu , who commended him for his efforts and told him his fellow clones ' sacrifice would not go unnoticed . When he had left , Yoda expressed concern that the RC - 2088 and all the other clones ' loyalty may not always be to the Jedi . After that , 2088 joined Aiwha Squad and participated in the Battle of Garqi in 19 BBY . When clones accidentally destroyed a Garqian farmhouse , RC - 2088 and other clones were sent to rescue any survivors . His squad found a small boy , named Evan . After bringing the boy back to the Republic outpost , Jedi Master Traavis congratulated the clones on their rescue , and told them of the death of General Grievous , saying the end of the war was near . Suddenly , the clones received Order 66 , and executed Traavis . Yoda ' s fears over the clone ' s loyalty had come true . Armor and gear . Generally , Zag wore the " Katarn " - class commando armor , although he has at times worn a variant of the cupid clone trooper armor that possessed white gauntlets , leg armor , and chest armor , as well as green fore - arm armor , shoulder armor , waist armor , and shin armor , a white and green helmet with a yellow visor , and dark wing - like ornaments jutting out of the backpack . Behind the scenes . " Honor Bound " first identified this clone as " R . C . Sergeant Theta Twenty - eight - eight . " " The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia " later clarified the clone ' s designation as " RC - 2088 " , while also establishing him as the clone " Zag " appearing in " Orders " . The " Star Wars Tales " issue that included Honor Bound was re - released on January 2008 as part of the Action Figure Comic Packs series . This pack included 2 action figures : a Super Battle Droid and an unnamed Republic Commando which could very well be RC - 2088 himself . The commando figure is based on the same mold as those of Scorch and the Delta Squad seven - figure pack . The pack itself can be seen at StarWarsShop . com
