CT-8311

CT-8311, also known as Rook, was a clone trooper in the Galactic Grand Army. He was a member of Stigma Squad and was one of the few survivors from the Mission to Farquar III. He took his name from the chess piece.

Mission to Farquar III
Rook and the other members of Stigma Squad where to join Jedi Bdaris Telnari in investigating strange, possibly Separatist occurrences on the planet of Farquar III. Three LAATs were sent down to the planet, one carrying the soldiers, one acting as backup and the other carrying a TX-130 Sabre-class tank. When they discovered that the Separatists had indeed captured the planet, they landed on a beach the enemy had captured and opened fire. They received cover fire from the second LAAT/i while they dashed towards the enemy. During the battle, Rook stuck close with his friend Dent. However, Dent was accidently hit by friendly fire from Patch and rendered incapable of fighting. Rook managed to drag him to cover before returning to battle. After the fight, only three clone troopers were still capable of fighting, the rest either dead or disabled. Bdaris ordered Rook and Piccolo to accompany him while the remaining clone, Elix to stay behind and tend to Dent. The three got into the tank and cut through the Separatists defenses until they located a Separatist bunker. A Trandoshan mercenary attempted to stop them by closing a set of blast doors, but Piccolo managed to kill him and break the doors by throwing a thermal detonator through the doors before they closed. Telnari ordered the two clones to stay behind and guard the entrance to the bunker while he searched it. While Telnari explored the bunker, Rook and Piccolo locked down the bunker to prevent any droids from entering. However, the droids eventually managed to slice through the blast doors and stormed the entrance. The two held off the droids for as long as they could before they were overwhelmed. They were forced to retreat into the bunker as more droids gained entrance. As they were pushed back into another room, Telnari arrived with captured Skakoan technicians. Together, the three managed to destroy the remaining droid forces and escort the Skakoans back to the LAATs.

Armor and equipment
Rook's armor was recognizable by the grey stripes that designated him as a member of the 34th legion and the binocular visor he wore on his helmet. In battle he wielded the standard clone trooper DC-15 blaster rifle, but was also known to use the DC-15 Blaster carbine. He also used various explosives, such as EMP grenades and concussion grenades. Like the other members of Stigma Squad, he was trained in sniping. As part of his training in the 34th Legion, he was also able to use heavy weaponry.
