**CT-1409**, nicknamed "**Echo**," and also known as the **Hero of Anaxes**, was a clone trooper who served the Grand Army of the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars. Born on Kamino, Echo was originally identified as **CT-21-0408**, a cadet of the Domino Squad along with CT-782, CT-4040, CT-00-2010, and CT-5555, before he graduated from the clone training center. On his first assignment, Echo was tasked with guarding the Rishi Station moon base, where he, along with Fives, Hevy, Clone Captain Rex, and Marshal Commander Cody, aided in warning the Republic of an impending Separatist attack on Kamino. Echo was commended for his bravery and absorbed into the 501st Legion.

After the attack on the Rishi moon, Echo defended his homeworld from Separatist forces as they attacked Tipoca City, where they sought to destroy the Republic's cloning facilities. Once the 501st successfully repelled the attack, Echo and Fives were both promoted to the elite rank of ARC Trooper. Echo was later tasked with a mission to Lola Sayu, where, the 501st, and the 212th Attack Battalion were to rescue Jedi Master Even Piell, who had been imprisoned on Lola Sayu's Citadel. Despite Piell's death during the mission, it was ultimately a success, but Echo was seemingly killed when trying to secure an escape.

The severely injured Echo was taken prisoner by Separatist forces, where he was sold to Minister Wat Tambor, the foreman of the Techno Union. Echo was kept alive by cybernetic implants, albeit at the cost of his consciousness. He became an unwitting pawn for the Separatists during their campaign on Anaxes, led by Admiral Trench. When Rex and Jedi Commander Jarik Shan found traces of Echo's survival, Rex, accompanied by Clone Force 99 and Jedi General Anakin Skywalker, led a mission to rescue Echo on Skako Minor. They succeeded, and, in turn, Echo used his cybernetic capabilities to turn the tide against the Separatists on Anaxes, leading to the Republic's victory. After the mission, Echo was promoted to Clone Corporal and joined Clone Force 99.
