Biography . " Chatter " was the nickname of one of the many clones of the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett bred on the planet Kamino to serve in the Grand Army of the Republic . During the Clone Wars , Chatter served with the 182nd Legion , a unit of the Grand Army , and earned his nickname for his talkative personality and love of code - breaking . At some point during the first two years of the conflict , Chatter and three other clone troopers — Knuckles , Recon , and Sergeant Marrt — were dispatched to the planet Belgaroth on a scouting mission . The clones were to investigate claims that a local Republic weapons factory run by the Czerka corporation was clandestinely selling arms to the Republic ' s enemy , the Confederacy of Independent Systems . After the clones landed on the planet with a dropship and made their way to the factory , Sergeant Marrt went inside to investigate , while the rest of the squad remained in hiding . Marrt discovered that the man in charge of the facility , Tarin , was meeting with Reep Tonith , a representative of the InterGalactic Banking Clan , which was allied with the Confederacy . The two were discussing a shipment of illegal FEX - M3 nerve gas grenade s to the Confederacy . Marrt took one of the grenades as evidence and tried to return to his squad undetected , but he was spotted , and Tonith ' s battle droids opened fire , forcing all four clone troopers to fall back to a swamp . Chatter attempted to contact Republic headquarters but was unable to do so , because the fog that stood over the swamp was interfering with the clones ' equipment . At that point , the clones heard a strange screech , which Knuckles mistook for the sound of approaching battle droids . Recon corrected him , saying that the sound was emitted by something big , but he was then suddenly attacked by a native droidbreaker creature . The droidbreaker hit Recon , throwing him into a tree , and the trooper died upon impact . Witnessing the creature chewing on Recon ' s blaster , Chatter frantically started firing his own weapon . He was unable to hit anything because of the fog , and Marrt ordered him to cease fire . Realizing that they were standing in the creature ' s natural habitat , the clone troopers understood that they had to leave the swamp as quickly as possible . Before they could so , however , the droidbreaker attacked again , catching Chatter off - guard and killing him . Moments later , Knuckles met his end as well , but Marrt was able to kill the creature by using the confiscated nerve grenade . After burying his fallen squadmates under the creature ' s severed head , Marrt proceeded to attack the Czerka factory alone . He burned the facility , retrieved valuable data , and took Tarin into custody , although Reep Tonith escaped . Personality and traits . The trooper ' s tendency to talk a lot and his love of code - breaking earned him the nickname " Chatter . " During the mission to Belgaroth , Chatter was talkative as always and was cracking jokes while on the way to the Czerka factory , much to Knuckles ' amusement . After Recon ' s death , however , there was no trace of Chatter ' s joyful nature as he fell into a frenzy and opened fire at the droidbreaker . As a clone of Jango Fett , Chatter had the same height of 1 . 83 meters as his genetic template . Behind the scenes . Chatter ' s only appearance to date was in " A Trooper ' s Tale " , a short comic strip published in " " in May of 2010 . " A Trooper ' s Tale " was written by Robin Etherington and illustrated by Andres Ponce .
