Tak Bazierre held the rank of First Sergeant within the Galactic Empire as a stormtrooper. He was a man who, like the other GeNode clones from his discontinued early batch, possessed greasy black hair and a countenance that Corporal Wayson Dower perceived as cruel.
During the Imperial occupation of Kashyyyk, Bazierre found himself assigned to Janzor's platoon. As they were heading to their designated landing zone, Bazierre noticed that Dower had removed his helmet. Consequently, he commanded the corporal to replace it and to state the alert status that he had just received, using the identical words that First Sergeant Oswald Strepp, another clone from his batch, had spoken. After Bazierre departed, Dower questioned his friend [Milo Strander](/article/milo_strander], wondering if the sergeants were partially droid.
As the transport neared its landing on Kashyyyk, it collided with a substantial tree limb, causing the vessel to tilt. Bazierre, positioned too near the open doorway, found that his gloves, designed more for protection than for providing a secure grip, hindered his ability to hold on. His fall from the transport resulted in landing on a branch that fractured his spine, leading to his death. Thus, Bazierre became the initial Imperial casualty in the conflict against the native sentient species, the Wookiees.
