Kix

## KixCT-6116

**Kix**, originally designated **CT-6116**, was a clone medic who served in the Grand Army of the Republic’s 501st Legion under the command of Jedi General Anakin Skywalker during the Clone Wars. Throughout the War, Kix maintained a close friendship with ARC Trooper Lieutenant CT-5597, a fellow clone in the 501st with the nickname "**Jesse**", with whom he frequently accompanied on missions.

In 21 BBY, Kix fought at the Battle of Saleucami, where he served under the command of Skywalker’s former Master Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi. With his Clone Captain, CT-7567 "**Rex**", shot and injured during the Battle, Jedi Commander Jarik Shan, Kix, Jesse, and Hardcase were compelled to leave him in a local homestead for his safety. In 20 BBY, Kix participated in the Republic invasion of the planet Umbara, where the 501st was placed under the control of Jedi General Pong Krell, much to the disdain of Kix and his fellow clone troopers. It was later discovered that Krell secretly worked against the Republic, causing Kix and the 501st to arrest, detain, and execute the Dark Jedi with the approval of Shan.

After witnessing his close comrade, CT-5385 "**Tup**", unwillingly shoot down and kill Jedi Master Tiplar, Kix harbored suspicions and began conducting his own investigation. The clone medic eventually discovered a conspiracy against the Jedi Order; every clone trooper had an inhibitor chip implanted in their brains, which would allow Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine to send out an order to execute the Jedi. However, the Confederacy of Independent Systems abducted Kix before he could act on his findings and had him frozen in stasis. He remained in stasis for the next fifteen years until Rex, Commanders Wolffe and Gregor, and ARC Trooper Boil found him. Having awoken a long time after the fall of the Republic and the Jedi Order, Kix helped his fellow brothers escape from the Galactic Empire and assist the Alliance to Restore the Republic in the Liberation of Lothal.
