Shortly following the conclusion of the Clone Wars, a clone trooper was piloting an Aggressive ReConnaissance-170 starfighter while on patrol in the vicinity of the Imperial space station named Brighthome. As Darth Vader neared the station, the clone trooper issued a warning, stating that Vader's vessel was entering prohibited airspace. The trooper threatened that if Vader did not change course, he and the other three starfighters would initiate an attack. Despite the warning, Lord Vader proceeded, prompting the clone and fellow pilots to engage. However, the Sith Lord swiftly destroyed them, opting to kill his own forces for amusement rather than providing the necessary docking codes.
The clone pilot's appearance occurred in Darth Vader (2017) 2, a canon comic book from 2017 authored by Charles Soule.
