Cody

CC-2224, AKA Commander Cody, is one of the main antagonists in Rico's Brigade. He serves under Darth Vader and is tasked with destroying the clone rebellion. He is first seen talking to Rookie in season one. Cody is also seen making a trap and surrounding a clone named Captain Scrum. Sadly for Cody, his forces got pushed back. Things take a turn for the worse for Cody when Rookie is found out.

Later Palpatine tells Cody to go get Scorch so Cody brings a garrison. Unluckily Rico shows up with Sev and after a big battle, Cody gets defeated. Cody felt betrayed, why would his brothers go against the righteous empire? He didn't know, but he had to stop them. He went to a small moon where he knew Fixer was and defeated Fixer's rebels. He took Fixer captive for Palpatine. After capturing Fixer, Cody has a moral struggle but ultimately decides his loyalty is to the empire. Still he needed to take a break and sent his garrison to take the last Delta Squad member. When he learned they failed, he sabotaged Boss' ship and sent him to get a new inhibitor chip.

Cody lost his Delta Squad members though in a battle and he was furious. He decided he needed someone to help him in his attacks on Rico. He made his Lieutenant a new elite legion out of Nova Troopers. Cody learned that Rex had made an elite legion and that they had come back from a battle weakened. He sent the Dutchman onto Rex's ship the Fortifier, to take him hostage. Not only did Rex get away but the 501st repelled the Nova Troopers and got away even though they were outnumbered around 3 to 1.

Cody was still mad about what had happened when Apollo, a smuggler came up to him and told him where Rico was. Rico was in a trap and Cody payed him to tell him where Rico was. Apollo also told Cody that Rex was stranded and he would tell Cody... for the right price. Cody payed him and sent scouts to Rex's location. He sent the Dutchman to deal with Rico. When he was informed of the Dutchman's failed attack Cody was content because Rico was still stranded and he had Rex. But after the Dutchman let Rico get away, Cody laid it on thick on Dutchman. Cody had to give the Dutchman one last chance since Darth Vader liked the Dutchman. Cody then went to visit Captain Rex saying the villain monologue. He told Rex that he knew that the Delta Squad was coming for him. Cody goes to a doctor to get Rex a new inhibitor chip. He then thinks Rex is on his side and trusts Rex with some important work. Cody then tells the Dutchman that he should assault Kashyyk while everybody was occupied with Felucia and Bothawui. Vader kept Cody on a tight leash and when he heard the Dutchman's attack was a success, he felt relieved. The Dutchman successfully captured Kashyyyk and Cody was slightly satisfied with the performance. Cody's master plan was coming together nicely.

After Rico has gained part of Palpatine's planets, Palpatine gets all his commanders and gives them armies. He then tells them to get some territory back from Rico. Cody gets some stormtrooper 212th. Cody and Fox decide to join forces and work together, they approached Boba with their idea but he denies them. Instead, Boba goes and uses his army to hunt down Mace Windu. Fox and Cody exchanged strategies and met for the last time before the assault on Dantooine. They took losses but the full weight of two stormtrooper legions was too much for Captain Hopi's initial defense. They took Hopi prisoner but Cody got injured.

## Trivia

* Cody is based off the character of the same name from official Star Wars Canon. He first appeared in the 2005 film *Revenge of the Sith,* where he, along with every clone trooper, was played by actor Temuera Morrison. He, along with many clones, received a more prominent role in the *Clone Wars*TV Series, voiced by Dee Bradley Baker.
	+ Cody was the only clone trooper in Revenge of the Sith to be referred to by name, or have any notable interaction with the main characters; he was Obi-Wan Kenobi's second-in-command during the Battle of Utapau, and the first clone commander who was issued "Order 66" by Palpatine, resulting in him ordering his troops to fire on Obi-Wan.
		- The speed with which Cody and the rest of the clone army turned on the Jedi has become a point of contension in the Star Wars fandom, and ultimately resulted in an arc of the TV series in which it was revealed that all clones had a chip implanted in their head that would make them betray the Jedi and loyally serve their official superiors (a key plot point in Rico's Brigade.) The fact that Cody was the most prominent clone to do so, and had an apparent friendship with Obi-Wan beforehand, likely contributed to his reputation as the most traitorous of the clones, and his portrayal in this series as a more overtly villainous character.
	+ In Star Wars Canon, Cody's only known act after the Clone Wars was to assist the Empire in the enslavement of Kashyyk. In Legends, he also continued to serve the Empire, came to remember the Jedi he turned on as heroes, and may have died during the Rebellion's attack on Kamino, as seen in the game *Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2*.
