"When we hit our lowest point, we are open to the greatest chance" 

-CT-1738 to a terrified citizen separated from her parents and caught between the fire during the Siege of Mandalore.

CT-1738 nicknamed Trap was a clone trooper who served in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars in the 501st Legion.

Early life
During the first few years of the war, Trap, among several others known as the Dash squad were clone cadets in training on Kamino. The entire squad graduated from Kamino with no difficulty, gaining the average satus rank. The previously-known as Dash squad were quickly transferred (never to use that name again) into the 501st Legion onto (their new general) Anakin Skywalker 's flagship, the Endurance.

Career
Early on in his career, Trap served as part of the garrison on the Endurance. Eventually more clones were needed for missions in the field though, as production was slowing and clones were passing away. Trap 's short lasted and relaxing tasks on the Endurance were soon replaced with difficult and reckless missions under General Anakin Skywalker. His first real mission took place on Naboo, where a scientist with the name of Nuvo Vindi was recruited by the Confederacy of Independent Systems to kill the life on the planet of Naboo, and later others, using and spreading a chemical known as the Blue Shadow Virus.

Trap was next dispatched to the Battle of Bonadan where both the Confederacy of Independent Systems and Galactic Republic gathered over Bonadan, a planet undecided on which side to join during the war. Bonadan was crucial in the war as it was found to be an essential location to use as a listening outpost after its discovery because of it's open hyperspace paths to other systems. The Galactic Republic arrived to destroy the listening outpost the Confederacy of Independent Systems have already managed to build for this reason. This was one of the few battles of the Clone Wars where (unknowingly to others) Darth Sidious himself took part- overseeing it on Dooku 's capital ship. Trap was positioned on a turret on the Endurance. The battle stalled out with the outpost being destroyed and a forceful Republic retreat taking place to prevent loss of further ships.



Late into his career, Trap served under Ahsoka Tano and Captain Rex after being dispatched alongside half of the 501st Legion to assist in the capture of Maul precipitating the Siege of Mandalore. Trap played a defensive role with the rest of his unit when attempting the capture of Prime Minister Almec in the capital city, Keldabe.

Death
Trap was anticlimactically, sadly, and quickly killed by a Mandalorian super commando part of Maul 's Shadow Collective in the crossfire of the Siege of Mandalore. His body was never recovered by the Grand Army of the Republic, being forgotten by the soon created Galactic Empire. Many others from all sides were also lost under the rubble of the battle.

Post-death
Trap was momentarily remembered by his units until being past-recollected once Order 66 was given.
