## CT-1564 "Doggo"

"*There's no such thing as too many a beer, my friend.*"
―Doggo to Falk, having been questioned on how much beer he had drank.
 CT-1564, known as "Doggo" to his brethren, was a lowly-ranking clone of the 21st Nova Corps. Originally trained as a standard trooper, Doggo has steadily rose up through the base ranks, going from Clone Trooper to Corporal, then to Sergeant.

Born and trained on Kamino , Doggo didn't excel in training, but nor did he fail completely. However, he was prone to lack of awareness, sometimes even walking straight into training droids, this was due to one of his largest failings, which would haunt him for most of his life. His relationship with beer, and later, spice. Whenever he wasn't training, he was drinking, whether it be beer or Bacta, as long as it got him drunk, it was his. It was during this time that he lost his left arm, and was forced to adopt a Prosthetic as a replacement.

Due to his many shortcomings, he was assigned to the 91st Recon Corps under the leadership of Mace Windu in the hopes of Windu being able to turn the clone around into a decent soldier. However, even the Jedi couldn't stop Doggo's habits, and with his release into the open world he found a far more lucrative pasttime than drinking Beer, in the form of Spice. This took a toll on Doggo's mental and physical health, but even so, it was during this period of time that Doggo was promoted to Corporal.

Eventually, after the disbandment of the 91st, Doggo was sent to a rehabilitation facility on Coruscant, and after having spent a few months there, Doggo was released as a new man. He was reassigned to the 21st Nova Corps, and although he still drank the occasional beer from time to time, he no longer partaked in the snorting of Spice, and he drank far less heavily than before. Showing his newfound prowess in battle on the planet of Kalevala , Doggo was promoted to Sergeant.

## Biography

### Birth and Kamino

#### 32-24BBY

Born on Kamino like all his other brethren, Doggo was a standard Clone Trooper, an almost genetically identical clone of the bounty hunter Jango Fett. He was trained alongside his brothers, and got average scores in virtually everything sent his way, he wasn't a failure, but nor did he excel in anything. Albeit unknown to most, this wasn't a fault of lack of intelligence or physical skill on Doggo's hand, it was merely a sheer lack of anything to do, some would call it boredom. It was at around 26 BBY, when Doggo was 12 years old, that he would find the origin of his name. Previously only referred to as 1564, Doggo found an unexpected companion in the form of a stray dog in the facility, presumably brought in by the Kaminoan Scientists, they quickly grew a bond, and were almost inseperable at times, leading to his nickname, "Doggo".

#### 24-22BBY

Celebrating his 8th Birthday on Kamino, Doggo was given a bottle of wine by his fellow clones. This would soon turn out to be a grievous mistake, as not only did he drink it all there and then, he bought more. This single act of 'kindness' would lead into one of Doggo's worst habits, which would eventually lead to the loss of his arm. In the year of 23 BBY, Doggo was doing a standard combat training session, using live blaster bolts. However, before the session had began, unbeknownst to the Kaminoans Doggo had smuggled in a crate-full of Beer, and a small amount of Spice for himself, and he had shared the beer amongst the clones he was training with, drinking a fair share himself and snorting a small amount of Spice. Facing off against a Training B1, Doggo pulled out his blaster, pointed it at the droid in front of him, and thought to himself that a gun simply wouldn't do. It may of been his gun, it may of been another clone's, but Doggo's left arm was shot clean-off.

Having been sent to the Medbay, Doggo was treated and given a cybernetic arm (which he would change later on in his life in fear of EMPs disabling it). Due to this accident, Doggo was expelled from training for 3 months, until he could recover and all drugs be taken off him. Albeit being put on a rehabilitation course, his addictions were not at an end just yet.

### 91st Recon Corps

#### Geonosis

Doggo's first assignment was the Battle of Geonosis, where he would assist with the confrontation in the Arena. Dispatching the droids there alongiside the Jedi Order and his brethren, he took part in the ground battle. Being his first major battle, even though he had trained in many simulations, the real war war was too much for him. As he watched the brothers he had trained with fall to the ground, he couldn't handle it, and fell to the ground, sobbing. He awoke from this state a few hours later, horrified by what he had seen. To this day, if Geonosis is mentioned to Doggo, he will fall silent, thinking back on that day. To help handle what he had experienced after the battle, he turned to an old friend of his, beer. This would lead to a relapse in his addictions.

#### Commenor

"*Am I late to the party?*"
―Doggo, before his left leg is broken in a rock slide.
Doggo would later appear on Commenor, where he would serve little use due to his left leg being broken in a rock slide as soon as he entered the battle. It's presumed that at the time, he was drunk or on Spice, due to his inability to notice the oncoming rock slide, even though it covered a fair portion of the mountain range he was at.

### 21st Nova Corps

#### Kalevala

"'**"I prefer a blaster in my hand and the wind whipping at my helmet."'**"
―-Doggo, after being asked whether or not he should be driving the Juggernaut.
Doggo was one of the few assigned to find and escort the Beskar from the crashed ship on Kalevala. As soon as he touched down, Doggo stood on top of the Juggernaut, trying to find any hostiles due to the high-value of the Beskar. After seeing nobody around him, he helped Bitts examine a weapons crate, before he was interrupted by a signal over his radio, hostiles were incoming.

Climbing on top of the Juggernaut and drawing his Blaster Pistol, Doggo took a few potshots at the oncoming Pirates (whom were driving Speeder Bikes) before they climbed on top of the roof he was standing on. Faced with numerous Pirates surrounding him, he took a shot at one Pirate, killing him. He then rolled under the blaster fire, drawing his Vibrosword and stabbing it into a Pirate's chest, knocking him off the roof of the vehicle and onto his own Speeder. Realising how close it was, Doggo jumped off of the roof of the Juggernaut and onto the Speeder, kicking off the Pirate's body and attaching his Vibrosword to the front of the speeder, to use as a lance. He then swivelled the Speeder around towards a pirate, activating it's engines and heading full-force towards the Pirate's Speeder, drawing his blaster pistol and shooting at the other pirates around him as he drove as cover-fire. Reaching the pirate, who attempted to duck down, Doggo tilted the speeder downwards and chopped the Pirate clean in half, turning his Speeder around and heading towards a Raider Transport at full-speed that had just exited the Juggernaut, carrying a crate of Beskar.

Taking the Vibrosword off the front of his Speeder and attaching it to his back, Doggo realised that he wouldn't catch up with the Speeder in time, so he pulled out his ascension gun and shot the grappling portion at the Speeder Bike, using the momentum of his own speeder to push him forwards. Having done this for a good minute or two, the ship he had grappled onto crashed, so Doggo used the remaining momentum to jump forwards and aiming his blaster at oncoming pirates, taking a few shots before grabbing the Beskar and heading back to a speeder, starting to drive away. He was tailed by a Pirate, so he pulled out his blaster and shot the lad, and when another Pirate pulled up by his side, Doggo rammed his speeder into the pirate's and knocked him off. Making it to the extraction sight, Doggo headed back to The Vigilant with Beskar in tow.

## Skills and Abilities

"*Not a specialist, no, but I do know my way around a gun.*"
―Doggo to Bitts, after Bitts asked if there were any weapon specialists nearby.
## Equipment

### Weaponry

Compared to most clones or other warriors on the battlefield, Doggo has only ever used a select few weapons, choosing to specialise in a select three rather than be a Jack of all Trades.
Blaster Pistols are commonly used by him, due to their high-stopping power and relatively low cost, wherever he is, whatever he may be doing, Doggo always carries a blaster alongside him. His most recent iteration, his ascension gun can both shoot and fire grappling lines, making it highly versatile.
Doggo also has a fondness for Sniper Rifles, especially the Amban Sniper Rifle, due to it's highly lethal nature and far-reaching scope, with an electric prod at the bottom for hand-to-hand combat, Doggo can also use it to protect himself in a pinch.
And now we come to Doggo's most covetous weapon of all, the Double-Bladed Vibrosword. Although it may be considered unwieldy by most, Doggo has come to love this sword and treat it with the upmost respect. Albeit it restricts him from using other weaponry such as his blaster pistols, Doggo has come to love this sword due to it's ability to perform large sweeping attacks and thrusts, perfect for a close-range battlefield.

### Armour and Cybernetics/Prosthetics

Doggo uses a standard Phase 2 Clone armour, with dark blue and white painting, as seen at the top of this wiki page. It doesn't have any modifcations, no hidden blades or built-in Jetpacks, aside from a holster and small pouch to equip and store grenades and blasters.
Having lost his arm on Kamino, however, Doggo opted for a Steel Arm, with built-in flamethrowers, stim-packs and hidden blades, however, he changed this after rehabilitation due to the realisation that an EMP could effectively disable his arm, instead, he changed it out for a prosthetic arm. This arm had none of the capabilities that his Steel Arm formerly had, instead, Doggo had designed a hollow in the middle of the arm to fit prosthetic tools, ranging from vents of flame (short-range flamethrowers), poison knives, firecrackers, an axe, shurikens and a loaded spear.

### Other Equipment used

Before the addition of his Ascension Gun to his arsenal, Doggo frequently used a Grappling Hook and/or Jetpack to traverse his surroundings, however, he soon gave up his Jetpack after he realised he couldn't wear it and his Vibrosword, and he got rid of his grappling hook after making his Ascension Gun during rehab.
Doggo frequently uses Stims to heal his and others wounds in combat, saving more advanced medical techniques and items for Medics. He did however, originally carry around Bacta with him, but decided to change it out for stims.
And finally, Doggo uses a variety of grenades in combat to help dispatch large groups of enemies/droids, whether they be Fragmentation or EMP, he always carries a good few around with him.

## Relationships

Doggo keeps a lot of information to himself, and chooses not to share most of it with his comrades, however, aside from clones in the battalions that Doggo has served in, Doggo has got multiple close-relationships, the section below will describe these and his relationships with his battalions.

### Doggo

"*Just kidding, if I were to be arrested who'd feed the dog?*"
―Doggo to Grifter, after saying that he'd steal secret information from the ship he was on.
Doggo has a pet dog named Doggo whom he found as a stray on Kamino. After taking the dog in for shelter, Doggo and Doggo quickly built a close-relationship, and were almost never seen apart from eachother save for training sessions such as The Citadel course. Albeit having to leave him on board a ship whenever Doggo went into battle, the duo were still a close pair, even during the Clone Wars. During Rehab, the duo were almost always together, and were able to further broaden their relationship (more info can be found in the Rehab Section of Doggo's biography). Joining the Galactic Marines, the duo were able to spend further time together due to him mainly being on the Vigilant and Yavin.

Doggo is one of CT-Doggo's major weaknesses, and if one were to be able to capture or kill the dog, CT-Doggo would do almost anything to get him back, save for killing his own brothers.
