Unidentified clone trooper commander (187th Legion)


Siege of Dantooine


A clone of the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett, the 187th Legion's commander was trained from birth to become the commander of a clone unit and to utilize clone airborne armor. He was assigned to the 187th Legion as their clone commander, and was specifically trained to be able to support his Jedi General in combat.

At the onset of the Clone Wars, immediately after the Battle of Muunilinst, the Confederacy of Independent Systems began using the planet of Dantooine as a staging ground against the Republic. Learning of this Separatist presence, Master of the Order Mace Windu dispatched an army of clone troopers to take back the planet. During the battle, the clone commander commanded the 187th Legion, and secured an important victory for the clone army, which allowed the Republic to take control of the planet.

Assault on the Jedi Temple


During the final stages of the war, the Confederacy of Independent Systems launched a full scale invasion on the Republic's capital. During this battle, the droid army began an assault on the Jedi Temple. The 187th Legion, alongside their Jedi General, fought to protect the temple. During the raid, the clone commander utilized a series of hand signals to efficiently control and direct his legion of clone troopers.
