CC-0733

CC-0733, colloquially known by the callsign of "Coral", was a senior advanced reconnaissance commando who would serve as a clone trooper commander and the commander of the 24th Airborne Brigade ("Shock Rifles").

While in the embattled, bitter years of the Clone Wars, many clone commanders underwent specialized ARC special-operator training to augment their leadership, Commander Coral was a highly unusual case. During initial imprinting and exercises on Kamino, Coral was recognized as an exceptional commando with both substantial tremendous personal initiative and skill as well as an endogenous leadership that rallied many other clones during combined-formations exercises. Thus, Coral was experimentally promoted to the rank of clone trooper commander and installed as the commander of the novel and newly-activated 24th Airborne Brigade ("Shock Rifles"), the first shock corps designated by the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR), where it was intended that both his individual and leadership core skills would make him both an effective commander and warfighter that would inspire his men.

Installed as the commander of the 24th Airborne Brigade, Coral would lead the "Shock Rifles" from caustic warzone to depraved stronghold, and though his forces would suffer substantial casualties in their invariably brutalizing deployments, his commando background and forceful personality would allow the Shock Rifles to forge unexpected Republic victories as Commander Coral led the 24th Airborne through its intense deployments from its initial battles on the arid world of Geonosis to its final Clone Wars deployment in 20 BBY to the jungle world of Tiss'sharl.
