Tacks, designated CC-2801, was a Clone Commander who served in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars fought between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. As a commander, he was in charge of a regiment of clone troopers.
CC-2801 was born on the planet Kamino from the genetic material of Jango Fett, a bounty hunter who became the template of the clone trooper army. CC-2801 eventually adopted the name Tacks and achieved the military rank of Clone Commander. As part of the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars, a pan-galactic conflict between the Confederacy of Independent Systems and the Galactic Republic, Tacks was in charge of a regiment.

Tacks was equipped with phase I clone trooper armor before upgrading to phase II clone trooper armor later on. On both sets of clone trooper armor, he outfitted his armor with macrobinoculars and a black pauldron.

Like all clone troopers in the game, he was voiced by Dee Bradley Baker, who also voiced the clones in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series. The official spelling of his nickname was clarified by the EA Community manager Jay Ingram on his Twitter account.
