- CC-1211

CC-1211, nicknamed "Boomdodger," was a veteran   born in  on the ocean planet  from the DNA of the notorious ,. Boomdodger was chosen and bred to become an effective commander during the, the galaxy-wide conflict between the and the. He served alongside  Viera Cacete throughout the war, and led the elite 56th Legion through many battles across the galaxy.

Throughout the war, Boomdodger overcame many challenges, and was later known for his reliability and courage. Most battles were won under his leadership, although with victory came losses, that became one of his many learned lessons. Close to the conclusion of the war in, Boomdodger and the famed Eagle Squad learned from the 56th's genetically modified commando, Fury, about a implanted into the heads of every clone, which they all had removed. Shortly after, the apparent plot to destroy the Jedi,, was executed by , who was really the  Darth Sidious, and Eagle Squad - with Fury's aid - saved Viera from certain doom, although resulted in Fury's death.

Boomdodger went on to fight in the rebellion against the newly risen, as general of the Survivors. Throughout this time, he bonded with the Mandalorian mercenary, Cryshta Ubahn, whom he had met previously during the Clone War, and they later married by 10 ABY, around the same time Boomdodger became a  on, and formed his own Mandalorian clan, Clan Prudii'verda.

Shadows of Darkness
The 456th had been stationed on the jungle planet Felucia to gather information on a nearby Separatist base called Spite Fortress. The 456th's Agency, a group of hackers and agents in the 456th that performed recon and were specialized in hacking, had begun to hack into the Separatist's computers, and while nothing happened at first, when they neared completion, Fort Halonn was ambushed by a large group of commando droids and an AAT. After a while, Boomdodger was injured and forced to try and flee a droid party that was hunting him down; and while he was successful, he eventually blacked out, although was apparently rescued by a local farmer, named Dulgan Rethana.

Around three days later, Boomdodger awoke, and he met Rethana. Not long after, however, Separatist droids located the farm they were at, and called for Boomdodger to turn himself in - while directing to him as "clone trooper 1211." Boomdodger turned himself in, but was saved by Rethana, and the farmer tossed the clone his blaster pistols and they began to fight the droids on Rethana's farm - the farmer was not happy that they were destroying his crops. After destroying all the droids, and stealing the AAT, Boomdodger decided to infiltrate Spite Fortress - to which Rethana replied he would help, but only because "the mission was not over."

Together, Boomdodger and Rethana arrived at Spite Fortress and broke in via the ventilation tunnels. Soon they emerged in the fortress' major control room, where they destroyed the droids operating it before they could sound the alarms, and soon after Boomdodger found out about some sort of a conspiracy, although could not find any specific details, yet. But knowing all of this information was vital for the Republic - it was what the 456th was trying to hack into - he began to search deeper into the computer in search of specific details, but they were eventually encountered by Wat Tambor and the super tactical droid, LI-05. They fought the battle droids that were brought into the room, and stole as much information as possible in the process, then set thermal detonators around the room before fleeing. While they did not kill Tambor, they destroyed many battle droids and LI-05.

Back at Rethana's farm, Boomdodger thanked him for everything he had done for him, specifically saving his life - he noted that was not the first time that happened, thinking of Cryshta Ubahn, the Mandalorian from Carlac - and a gunship picked him up afterwards. Boomdodger offered Rethana a place in the army, he had served valiantly alongside the clone commander, but the farmer declined the offer, saying he had much to think about. But he also said that they would see each other again, in time. Boomdodger returned to the Republic orbital station above Felucia, and there he gave the information he had stolen to Viera, who informed the Council of these findings, but Boomdodger wished he could find more specific details on this apparent conspiracy against the Republic.

Battle of Sullust
The 456th was sent to the Sullustan homeworld of Sullust to aid in the battle there. The 456th was, however, being assisted by two other clone battalions, the 724th Battalion and the 833rd "Swarm Battalion," this led to them naming their Venator-class star destroyer the Hive. The assault on Sullust came with two stages, they would first launch an aerial assault above Sullust, and the Republic's starfighters would break a pathway to the surface, allowing the LAAT gunships to make their way down.

Mission to Trandosha
Eagle Squad, and two other members of the 456th, team up with members of the 30th Assault Battalion to rescue the Jedi Master Veru Darr on Trandosha.

Invasion of Corellia
The 456th Legion was sent to Corellia to maintain peace among its people, and to repel the ongoing Confederacy invasion. The Republic had sent five clone battalions, each of which had one cruiser, to fight the Separatists, they consisted of the 456th, the 310th, the 724th, the 833rd, and the 553rd. The 833rd Swarm Battalion would be fighting the Separatists above the surface of Corellia, as most of the 833rd specialized in starfighter battle, as they were trained directly under the Mandalorian trainer, Fenn Rau. The 724th Battalion would be fighting on the outskirts of Coronet City, meanwhile the 456th and 310th would be fighting within the city itself, as the 553rd fought in the plains and mountains outside Coronet City, because they specialized in jungle combat.

The 833rd had arrived first, and by the time the other battalions had dropped out of hyperspace, they were immediately met by a massive space battle between three Republic cruisers, one of which was the 833rd's flagship, the Hive, and four Separatist Munificent-class ships and a Providence-class ship. The 833rd had already made a path for the gunships to make their way to the planet, and already they were prevailing against the Separatists above, but the battle below would surely be worse. Eagle Squad landed in the Flashing Falcon, as they always did, and made their way to the city square, where many battle droids were rounding up several retaliating civilians onto gunships to be taken away. The 456th assaulted them in a quick ambush, and liberated the imprisoned civilians, and began to secure the perimeter and establish a base camp. Meanwhile, Eagle Squad scaled the buildings of Coronet City and began to set up mortar launchers as other clone troopers arrived as well, and it was not long before several droid platoons began moving in towards the center of Coronet City.

Execution of Order 66
Just after the Republic's victory at Yiran'ir, the 456th Legion was sent to help in the ongoing battle at Ord Mantell, and help the 652nd Battalion against the Separatist droid army.

Personality and traits
"Viera, a word?" "Of course, Boomdodger. What is it?" "What do you think will happen after the war? What do you think will happen to all of us?" "I don't think I know, Boomdodger..."

- Boomdodger and Viera regarding the end of the war

Boomdodger was known in the Grand Army of the Republic to be a tough, courageous, and reliable soldier and leader, especially considering how most of the battles he led the 56th Legion in were often victories, his only weakness was the thought of the end of the Clone Wars, and what would become of the clones afterwards. While his questions were answered in time - nearer to the end of the war - the thoughts still daunted him, but he was sure to not let that get in the way of his men, and the close friendship he shared with Eagle Squad and Viera Cacete.

Phase II
Boomdodger's Phase II armor was slightly different from his Phase I variant, and it had much more upgrades from its predecessor. Boomdodger's kama was reinforced with a tougher leather from his last one, although he continued to wear the same dark blue paint designs throughout his armor. On his wrist he wore a communications system, which was improved with the tech inside his helmet, and he also had a holoprojector built into his wrist, so that he could communicate to higher-ranked individuals more formally. He continued to wear a blue pauldron, and often wielded a pair of DC-17 hand blasters, but from time to time he would use a DC-15A blaster rifle.

His helmet was upgraded immensely, making it far more different from his Phase I variant. While he had similar designs, he also continued to have the Phase I-styled T-visor, which now had an improved night vision, and also included improved vision through smoke. The internal respirators were also improved, to help block out toxic gases, smoke, as well as allow him to breath in space for a short period of time. His helmet also came with a fold-down rangefinder that was painted blue, and sometimes he wore a floodlight on the side of his helmet, to help in dark environments.

Behind the scenes

 * Boomdodger's clone trooper number as of March 14, 2016 is "CC-1211," although for the entirety that he existed prior, his CT number was "CC-1121." The author felt that 1211 felt more "striking," and also seemed easier to pronounce.
 * CC-1211's character has gone through many changes over the years since May 2012. Originally, he was a clone commander of the "374th Lead Battalion," and eventually he became a lieutenant in the 501st Legion. His most recent change, which is now final, is him being the senior clone commander of the 56th Legion.
 * Boomdodger's clone trooper armor has gone through many changes. Originally, it was gear from the Clone Wars Advenures game by Daybreak Games, which he was originally based off of. Eventually, he received more custom armor designs, and recently, since late summer 2015, received armor designs that are completely unique from other clone armor designs.
