CC-5869

CC-5869, mostly called Stone, was a clone trooper commander who was part of the Coruscant Guard, and also the 91st Reconnaissance Corps, in the Galactic Republic, Galactic Empire, New Republic, Galactic Alliance, and then the Confederation of Free Planets. He was a good friend of CC-1010, the CG's head commander. Stone mostly worked on his own, but sometimes worked with Fox and CC-2009, the commander of another Coruscant defense force, the 52nd Star Corps. Stone preferred killing criminals instead of taking them prisoner, and did that if he was alone, but he mostly worked with a squad. After Fox saved the Emperor's life, the CG's, 52nd's, and 23rd Coruscant Defense Battalion's clones' lives were extended by far. He worked with Jedi after the fall of the Empire.

Clone Wars
Stone was raised and trained on Kamino, like all of the other Clone troopers. He was a clone commander, but wore Phase I scout armor at first. He got ARC trooper training from Jango Fett like many other clone trooper commanders. He worked with both the Coruscant Guard and the 91st Reconnaissance Corps, being a commander in both. He was sent to the front lines of many planets. 5859 was first sent to Geonosis, where he scouted the droid positions and reported them to the other battalions. Later, he was in the battle of Ryloth. Stone and his squad took out the southern hemisphere's droid legions. Afterward, he was sent to Felucia, where he was with CC-2009 and Clone Commander Bly, and participated in Order 66, taking down Aayla Secura. He later searched for Typhuss, CC-2009, who left the clone attack force shortly after they were notified about Order 66.

Crashed on Florrum
Around 21 BBY, the Weequay pirate leader Hondo Ohnaka captured Count Dooku, the leader of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and demanded a ransom of one million credits in the form of spice from the Republic in exchange for the Count. Supreme Chancellor Palpatine subsequently dispatched Senator Kharrus and Representative Jar Jar Binks, under escort by Stone and some of his troopers, to deliver the ransom to Ohnaka's headquarters on Florrum. After arriving in a Nu-class attack shuttle in the atmosphere of Florrum, Kharrus contacted the Chancellor and informed him of the progress of the mission before buckling up for the landing. However, Turk Falso, a member of Ohnaka's gang, betrayed Ohnaka and ordered fellow pirate Barb Mentir to shoot down the Republic ship so that they could take the spice for themselves. Mentir, in a Flarestar-class vessel, managed to shoot down the Republic shuttle. The shuttle crashed into the Doshar fields, and the impact killed both of the shuttle's clone pilots and Kharrus, leaving Binks as the highest-ranking officer and therefore commander of the group. While Binks buried the dead Senator, two of Stone's troopers tried to repair the shuttle's homing beacon in order to contact the galactic capital Coruscant but were unable to make it work. Shortly thereafter, Binks spotted Falso and several fellow pirates approaching on swoop bikes, and while Stone believed that the pirates would try to negotiate the ransom, the pirates attacked the clone troopers. Stone ordered his troops into a defensive circle, and the pirates cut the clones off from their crashed ship. Outnumbered, Stone, Binks, and their troops retreated into one of the surrounding acid geysers.

Serving under a Gungan
During their stay in the geyser, Binks discovered that the planet's native skalders were able to detect the geysers' bursts of acid. After the pirates left, Stone and the group returned to the shuttle, only to find that the spice had been stolen by Falso. While Stone proposed that they wait for a rescue party to arrive before doing anything else, Binks insisted on pursuing the pirates using the skalders as mounts, which the group did. The clones soon caught up to the pirates ahead and managed to kill most of them in the ensuing firefight. After recovering the spice, one of Stone's troopers scanned the landscape with macrobinoculars for the pirate base. When the group sighted some energy lines, Stone decided to follow them in order to find the base. Along the way, Binks spotted several pirate tanks, and the group quickly halted and took cover. Stone then sent Binks to "negotiate" with the pirates who were piloting the tanks. While speaking with the pirates, Binks climbed up onto one of the tanks and accidentally drove the vehicle into an energy line, collapsing it. In the ensuing chaos, Stone saved Binks by stopping a pirate from shooting him, before congratulating Binks on his "success." The clones managed to capture all of the tanks and proceeded to the enemy base. Stone, Binks, and the troopers arrived at the pirate base just in time to find Jedi Knights Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi—who had been sent earlier to Florrum and had just escaped captivity from Ohnaka, who had attempted to ransom them to the Republic—holding Ohnaka at lightsaber point. Kenobi ordered Stone to power up the engines of the Twilight, the Jedi's ship, while Kenobi released Ohnaka and told him that he held no grudge against him in spite of his crimes against them. Because Dooku had escaped, Stone, his troopers, Binks and the two Jedi left Florrum in the Twilight with their retrieved spice ransom.

Galactic Civil War
Stone participated in a few early campaigns, but mostly stayed with the Coruscant Guard. He took down many criminals. Later, he helped drive the Rebels off the planet.

Phase I
Stone's red/brown armor was covered in CG symbols and emblems. It was customarily designed.

91st Scout Armor
Stone used scout armor on scouting missions when he worked for the 91st, and sometimes in the Coruscant Guard.

Weapons
His weapon's include dual DC-17 blaster pistols, DC-15 blaster rifle and thermal detonators.

Equipment
He had several things in his belt, such as a medpack, grapple gun and spare ammunition. He has a comlink and a life-form scanner. His helmet has night vision so it can operate in dark places.

Personality and traits
Although Commander Stone found the idea of taking orders from Jar Jar Binks to be ridiculous, he nevertheless followed the chain of command. Despite being very skeptical about Binks's leadership abilities, he recognized the Gungan's skills during the mission and saved his life twice. After their shuttle crashed on Florrum, Stone remained rather passive, preferring to wait for a rescue party instead of following the pirates in pursuit of the stolen spice ransom, but he nevertheless set out with Binks and his men to go after the pirates. Stone obeyed the orders given to him, regardless of whether they came from Binks or General Obi-Wan Kenobi. The Commander was recognizable by a tattoo on the left side of his forehead, which resembled the number "58." In combat, he wore Phase I clone trooper armor painted in the red colors of his unit, the Coruscant Guard. During the mission to Florrum, he was equipped with two DC-17 blaster pistols. Stone was trained in armed and unarmed combat and recon and military tactics, and he was able to utilize a jetpack. He also used a DC-15S blaster during the war.
