This character was created by The Warrior Brothers.

**CC-7879**, or **Obsidian**, was a clone shadow trooper that served in the Grand Army of the Republic from 22 BBY to 19 BBY. He was the Clone Commander of the 778th Elite Shadow Unit. He participated in hundreds of battles, the most notable being the Second Battle of Umbara, the Siege of Apatros, and the Battle of Jabiim.

## History

### Battle of Christophsis

Obsidian and his unit were among the first wave of clones to come to the planet. He fought alongside Captain Rex and Commander Cody to defend the heavy cannons while Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano infiltrated enemy lines to disable the Separatist energy shield.

### Battle of Jabiim

#### Initial Task Force

Obsidian led the 778th in the as part of the initial Republic strike force, capturing Separatist territory and seemingly gaining the planet through rapid victories.

#### Defending Shelter Base

When word came that Shelter base was being attacked by Nimbus commandos, Obsidian rushed his unit back to the base in a failed attempt to defend it. He suffered several blaster shots in the thigh, and 330 of his shadow troopers perished.

#### War in the Southern Hemisphere

Obsidian's unit retreated to the southern hemisphere of Jabiim along with the rest of the Republic army. They fought brutal skirmishes against the Droid Army under the command of Jedi General Umbar Vlaskon and his Padawan Balshor Hursk. Hursk led a small part of the unit to try and retake Shelter Base; a tactic Obsidian had known to be foolish when it was first conceived. Hursk and only 5 out of the 60 clones returned.

##### The Battle at Razor Coast

When Jedi General Leska attempted to capture Stratus, who was commanding the Separatist attack, at Razor Coast, the 778th went with him. The bloody battle resulted in 150 more casualties in Obsidian's unit, and Stratus was nowhere to be found after the attack.

###### The Death of General Leska

When Jedi General Leska was killed in the strike on Razor Coast, the 778th had to find their way back to the Republic camp on their own. They successfully made it back and rejoined the main force.

##### Killing Stratus

A group of Padawans and some remaining clone troopers led an attack on the Separatists. One Padawan, Aubrie Wyn, murdered Stratus with the help of Obsidian and his unit of clone shadow troopers.

#### Escaping Jabiim

The dropships finally arrived over 40 days after the start of the battle. Anakin Skywalker chose to leave the desperate Jabiimi loyalists on Jabiim and save the clones instead. Feeling a bit guilty, Obsidian and his unit took of with Skywalker and left Jabiim.

### Siege of Apatros

#### Prelude

Apatros was an Outer Rim world that had been being mined by companies like ORO for millennia. The Republic had always controlled the companies that were doing the mining, but in early 21 BBY, the Jedi discovered from scouts on Apatros that ORO and other huge mining companies had allied with the Separatists because of promises of more money and more workers for the mines. At first, the Republic tried to bargain with the companies, offering more credits and more workers than the Separatists. However, every time the Republic made an offer, the Separatists would top it. The companies eventually decided that they would side with the Separatists, as they had deduced that the Alliance was more likely to give them the credits. The Republic desperately needed metals like the cortosis being mined on Apatros for body armor for their troops, so they had to resort to sending in their military.

### Battle of Korriban

*Main article ➤ Battle of Korriban*

CC-7879 was a part of the space battle above Korriban during the battle.

#### Prelude

The Separatists captured Korriban in 21 BBY with little resistance, as the Sith had practically deserted the planet hundreds of years earlier. At first, the Republic was perplexed as to why the Confederacy would bother with capturing such an insignificant world. The Republic then discovered that the Separatist leader Count Dooku wanted the holocrons of ancient Sith that the Jedi had never disposed of, and that Wat Tambor, the Foreman of the Techno Union, had discovered massive ore and precious metal deposits far below the surface. Once the Republic learned of the deposits, they sent four *Venator*-class cruisers, many troop carriers, and fleets of bombers and starfighters to the barren planet in hopes of stealing the planet and the deposits from the grasp of the Separatists.
