CT-8375

CT-8375 was part of the first batch of clone troopers to make their way from the cloning facility on Kamino. He served in the 501st Legion in Trebuchet Battalion firstly as Aurek Assault, but was then trained to be a field medic. CT-8375 fought in the first battle of Geonosis, the Dark Reaper Crisis, the first battle of Kamino, and the battle of Muunilist before his death in 22 BBY.

## Training on Kamino

CT-8375 spent basically his entire life training on Kamino. Although the trainers there didn't necessarily have a profound influence over him, he was still obliged to follow all of their orders. In the months before the first battle of Geonosis, CT-8375 and his peers would go through extensive training exercises, which ranged from simulating full-on battles in the sim room, to clone vs clone skirmishes in the barracks area using training rounds. CT-8375 was even given the opportunity to lead the forces during one of these training exercises, but his simulation equipment malfunctioned, and it wasn't fixed until after the simulation had completed. During the final few weeks before the war broke out, the clones were all broken up into different squads as training began to intensify. CT-8375 found himself part of "Retard Squad", whose name derived from their absolutely horrible performances during the citadel simulations. Thankfully, "Retard Squad" was able to redeem themselves by performing well in the clone vs clone simulations, but their slow time to complete the citadel would forever be remembered by the first generation 501st clones.

## First Battle of Geonosis

In the first battle of Geonosis, 8375 was a part of Alpha squad, which although the squads were supposed to take care if different objectives, quickly began to all merge together as soon as they began taking real blaster fire for the first time. Despite all the hardships faced during the initial engagement, Trebuchet battalion was able to complete all of their objectives for the first day of the battle. Afterward, they were placed in a defensive position where they would be pestered by Geonosiansfor much of their stay. Though he did not encounter any of the bugs while defending with Alpha squad, he got in firefights with many of them while out on patrol. After a hectic first day, Trebuchet Battalion was assigned to destroy a Separatist core ship. This battle to destroy the core ship took place over almost completely flat ground, and CT-8375 and the other people in his squad had to quickly build up whatever barricades they could muster in order to not get hit by the incoming fire. They eventually managed to destroy the core ship, though the casualties were massive. For the remainder of the battle on Geonosis, CT-8375 would be stationed on a defensive post, though other members in Trebuchet battalion would be assigned to take out a droid manufacturing plant, and also attempted to capture the Separatist Council stationed on the planet.

## Dark Reaper Crisis

During most of the Dark Reaper Crisis, 8375 was stationed on the Phalanx, though he was deployed on the ground to take part in the invasion on Rhen Var. Despite the importance of the battle in the grand scheme of things, 8375 remembered very little of what happened during the invasion. After the conclusion of the battle on Rhen Var, 8375 was once again stationed on the Phalanx.

## Battle of Kamino

During the Battle of Kamino, 8375 was stationed on the northern wing of the Tipoca City cloning facility. He fortified the position with a small group of clones while most of the main force was on the opposite side of the facility. 8375 and his group were provided with an anti-aircraft gun and an E-Webb blaster. Thankfully, most of the droid forces attacked the group on the southern wing, which had more people. Despite repelling the attacks on the northern wing, 8375 and his group were forced to retreat, as the southern group was being fought back. The two fighting groups eventually met up with each other in the main hangar bay and held off there until they were forced into the main building of the cloning facility. The clones held their ground, making the CIS forces work for every inch of ground in the facility. Despite their hard fighting, the clones were eventually backed up into the bunk areas, with nowhere left to go. When all seemed lost, however, a squad of ARC troopers revealed themselves and led a counter-attack against the droids. After another couple hours of fighting, the clones eventually retook the facility. The only major death that occurred was the death of Instructor Frau, Trebuchet Battalions instructor during their days of basic training on Kamino. Although 8375 was somewhat disappointed to hear the news, he was more disappointed that he would never be able to finish the conversation he was having with him while they were fighting, as Frau instantly told 8375 to stop talking.

## Death

8375's death occurred in 22 BBY. He and a small detachment of clones were sent down to a planet that none of the Geonosis veterans probably remember the name of. They were sent to deal with a local detachment of droids sent by the CIS, and there was a large tunnel network surrounding the area. In one of the tunnels, there was a fuel tank blocking a part of the tunnel. To get it out of the way, sergeant Dreamer placed explosive charges on the tank and detonated it before the detachment could exit the tunnel system. The blast from the explosion threw a TX-130 directly at 8375, and as soon as it made contact, 8375 died from the blunt force.

## Legacy

8375 was given a four minute funeral, where people saluted an empty coffin (nobody could retrieve his body) and threw the coffin out into space from the lower hangar bay.
