A clone trooper pilot was born on the planet Kamino as a clone of the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett , created to fight in the Grand Army of the Republic . The clone trooper pilot was assigned to the starfighter unit Gold Squadron in the Republic Navy . In 22 BBY , during the Clone Wars , Confederate General Grievous planned to invade the planet Bothawui , home of the native Bothans . However , the Republic became aware of the plans , and Jedi General Anakin Skywalker , along with a battle group consisting of three " Venator " - class Star Destroyers , were sent to protect the Bothan homeworld . Even though the Republic forces were outnumbered , Skywalker persisted in protecting the Both system from a fleet of Confederate " Munificent " - class star frigates commanded by Grievous . Skywalker placed several All Terrain Tactical Enforcers on asteroids in the gas giant Bothawui Prime ' s asteroid belt , planning to attack the Confederate ships from behind . After the Confederate frigates emerged from hyperspace , Grievous ordered his ships to navigate through the Bothawui asteroid belt , as the cyborg General planned to use the asteroids to cover his ships from Republic laser fire . Led by Skywalker in his Delta - 7B interceptor , the clone pilot and the rest of Gold Squadron departed from the Star Destroyer " Resolute " in V - 19 Torrent starfighters . The Jedi General led the clone pilots toward the approaching Confederate frigates but ordered Gold Squadron to hold positions , as he wanted the enemy ships to come closer so that the AT - TEs on the asteroids could attack them from behind . On Grievous ' command , the frigates opened fire , causing damage to one of the Republic Star Destroyers . Just before one of Gold Squadron ' s starfighters was hit by laser fire , causing it to crash into another starfighter , the clone trooper pilot told wingmate Gold Six to watch his stabilizer . As the squadron took casualties from laser fire , Skywalker ordered the group to retreat , while he continued the assault on the approaching Confederate ships . Grievous ' frigates were attacked by the Republic walkers from behind , eventually leading to the destruction of his fleet . However , Grievous himself was able to escape the battle .
