CT-78895 "Roger"

"We've all done things we regret.. I've had to live with the greatest regret I have carried for my relatively short life... That I will never be able to explain why I did that to my best friend... That is my greatest regret..."

- CT-78895 "Roger", Clone Captain and Imperial Drill Instructor

 was a Jango Fett template Clone Trooper that served the Grand Army of the Republic and the Imperial Storm Trooper Corp.

Early life
One of the later born Clone Troopers, CT-78895 was picked out of what would've been standard Clone Trooper training and placed into a special training regiment for his accomplishments as a young cadet.

Career
His initial career would be as a Clone Captain in the 888th Clone Company until the company would be nearly entirely wiped out in the battle of Azura. He would latter be reassigned to command of the 101st Clone Legion, which would've been freshly reformed and integrated with the remaining members of other shattered legions and companies. This legion would be assigned to Jedi General Rajh T'Le and Admiral Leena Kii and would serve the rest of the Clone Wars. During these short years, CT-78895 would come to deeply respect and care for Rajh and Leena as close friends as he would have the most contact with them, even being given a nickname by Rajh for his super strict and straight forward personality when the two met, comparing him to a droid and replying with "Roger roger" whenever CT-78895 would come up with a batter plan than Rajh. CT-78895 would take up the nickname of "Roger" because of this. "Roger" would come to also move around with a personal team nicknamed Talon that answered directly to him, Leena and Rajh, this squad would be composed of 4 other Clone Troopers personally selected from the 101st: CT-78877 "Kysser", CT-37050 "Spot", CT-60029 "Hunter", and a female Jango Template Clone; CT-f167 "Gyna".

"Roger" would be aboard the Star Destroyer The Invincible when Order 66 came down, he would be the one to give the order to shoot down Rajh's starfighter as it took off from the hangar of the Imperator-class Star Destroyer, however his astromech, R3-T33, would manage to intercept the message and interpret it fast enough to allow Rajh to escape on his fighter. However after the temporary brainwashing forced upon him by Order 66 passed and he realized what he had just done, he was overcome with immense regret over having ordered his men to shoot down his best friend, a regret he would live with for the rest of his life.

Soon after the events of Order 66 and the establishing of the Galactic Empire, the 101st Clone Legion would be converted into the 101st Storm Trooper Legion, "Roger" would now serve as a Storm Trooper Commander, leading the 101st under the command of Admiral Moden Canady.

Death
"Roger" would eventually die during an operation on the planet of Sullust to retake a base that was besieged and occupied by a Rebel Cell. Due to his accelerated aging, he was already starting to wear down and was in the body of a 60 year old despite being only 30 years old. He would be struck down by a single blaster pistol bolt ironically shot by Leena Kii as the Rebels retreated, the battle would be won by the Imperial forces, but at the cost of several dozens of Storm Troopers, "Roger" included.

Post-mortem
After finding out about the death of "Roger", a veteran soldier from the Clone Wars, Admiral Canady would personally organize a funeral procession for him and the other fallen Troopers, recognizing the accomplishments of the Clone Trooper.

Personality and traits
CT-78895 "Roger" when he was still fresh from training and had just been assigned to the 101st, he was a stern, by-the-book leader, who would always object to any plans based around feelings or chances. However as he came to grow alongside Rajh and Leena, he would come to loosen up a bit, retaining his stern relentless attitude however now he was more willing to take risks and experiment, allowing him great flexibility during any combat situation, a trait that would earn him respect from both Republic and Imperial superiors he served under.
