Slim, a clone trooper serving the Galactic Republic, found himself embroiled in a conflict on Kamino during the initial stages of the Clone Wars. His opponent was another trooper named Heater, a former member of the Grand Army of the Republic who had previously deserted his post. Slim's taunts, labeling Heater and his fellow deserters as cowards, ignited Heater's fury, leading to a physical altercation where Heater struck Slim in the jaw, forcing him against a pillar. While other clones in the mess hall observed and encouraged the brawl, Slim retaliated with a knee to Heater's abdomen, escalating the fight into a close-quarters struggle. Clone Commander Wolffe intervened to halt the fight, expressing his desire to converse with Heater.
