CC-1322

""The mission always comes first, always...""

- CC-1322

CC-1322, nicknamed "Trigg", was a veteran senior clone commander assigned to Jedi General Zay Arlenn of the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars, later serving as a Protector in exile on Concord Dawn where he took the name Kalir Tayhaai during the reign of the Galactic Empire.

As the leader of the acclaimed 30th Assault Battalion, Trigg was a gruff and assertive soldier who put his duty before anything else. He was a skilled marksman, practiced close-combat specialist, and expert tactician.

Biography
"Wad'e: "This one seems promising, designated one three two two. Could be an asset." Walon: "He's got heart, even if he is one of the drones."

Early life
Born on the watery world of Kamino as a clone of the Bounty Hunter Jango Fett, CC-1322 was one of the thousands of clones to be produced before the Battle of Geonosis, grown to fulfill a command position in the future Grand Army of the Republic. Even at an early stage of development 1322 displayed a great aptitude to the knowledge of warfare, and was one of the few ordinary clone cadets to catch the eye of a member of the Cuy'val Dar, specifically the Mandalorian Training Sergeant Wad'e Tayhaai. Throughout his flash training, 1322 would often come into contact with Wad'e or be watched under his gaze during simulations, prompting the drill instructor to almost treat the boy as a son.

When 1322 reached biological maturity, Wad'e saw fit to allow him access to closed training sessions with the Advanced Recon Commandos and clone commandos, allowing 1322 to gain knowledge most of his breed would never witness. While 1322 did appreciate the skills he could now employ, seeing the liberated and rebellious nature of the genetically superior clones planted a seed of distaste in 1332 for the ARCs and Commandos; something that would last for a large portion of his life. Remarks on their rude behaviors prompted Wad'e to jokingly refer to 1322 as nayc kelir—a derogatory remark to 1322's lack of free will—that seemed to stick with him rather quickly. After completing his flash training, 1322 was then placed into a training squad which would ultimately test his ability to command.

Personality and traits
"Zay: "So, you ever though about settling down after the war, Trigg?" Trigg: "I don't...really know how to answer that sir." Zay: "No need to Commander. No need.""
