A clone trooper served as a stormtrooper in the Imperial Army around 15 BBY. The trooper was incapacitated by the exiled Chiss Mitth'raw'nuruodo, who donned his armor in order to board the Venator-class Star Destroyer Strikefast.
The clone trooper was created on the planet Kamino by Kaminoan cloners. Around 15 BBY, he served in the Imperial Army as part of a squad of stormtroopers that had been dispatched aboard the Venator-class Star Destroyer Strikefast to investigate smugglers on a nameless world in Wild Space.
Thrawn, the Chiss who incapacitated the clone trooper and stole his armor
Captain Voss Parck oversaw reconnaissance efforts against smugglers on the planet, where the Chiss Mitth'raw'nuruodo "Thrawn" lived in exile from the Chiss Ascendancy. Thrawn downed an Imperial V-wing starfighter and stole its pilot's comlink, leading Colonel Mosh Barris to order two squads of stormtroopers to subdue the alien, who they suspected had attacked them. Barriss erroneously believed two stormtrooper squads could neutralize the threat posed by Thrawn. However, Thrawn ambushed and incapacitated the clone trooper and stole his clone trooper armor and munitions. Using the trooper's concussion grenades and power packs, Thrawn incapacitated several other Imperial troopers Barris had dispatched. Thrawn subsequently donned the trooper's armor and snuck aboard the Strikefast when the Imperials retreated, blending in with the other stormtroopers.
As a clone of the bounty hunter Jango Fett, the trooper was a human who stood 1.83 meters (6 ft) tall.
At birth, like the other clone troopers, the clone was implanted by the Kaminoan scientists with a behavioral modification biochip to ensure that the trooper would not resist certain orders. The trooper wore Phase II clone trooper armor, which was stolen by Thrawn to sneak aboard the Strikefast. Additionally, the trooper carried a blaster rifle, multiple blaster power packs, and concussion grenades.
The clone trooper was mentioned in the novel Thrawn, the first installment of Timothy Zahn's Star Wars: Thrawn trilogy, which was released on the April 11, 2017. He appeared in the first issue of Star Wars: Thrawn, the novel's comic adaptation. The issue was written by Jody Houser, illustrated by Luke Ross, and published by Marvel Comics on February 14, 2018. The trooper was first pictured in a StarWars.com preview for the comic on November 17, 2017.
