CC-1211

"Ten years of training turned us into soldiers. And the ARC program turned the best of us into, as you say, veterans."

- Dodge prior to the Battle for Balmorra

CC-1211, nicknamed "Dodge," was a marshal commander of the 56th Battalion during the  that served under  Viera Cacete. Early in the Clone Wars, he was a participant of the battles of Dirahn and Balmorra.

Early life
1211 was with the first batch of  on  from the DNA of the notorious   in 32 BBY. He was exclusively chosen to become a within the, and was given special training from birth. As he matured at a quick pace due to the growth acceleration given to every clone - making them prepared for faster - he learned more combat tactics from the  and  trainers, who had been called by Jango Fett to aid in the training of clones.

Throughout his time in training on Kamino, 1211 slowly developed a disliking of the Kaminoans, particularly the Prime Minister, who saw the clones as his own creations that he could control. While there were some Kaminoans that expressed more love toward the clones, 1211 was never comfortable near any of them.

By the time 1211 had completed his training and was made a full clone commander, he began to oversee the training of other clone. In all the time that he did this, he admired a group of clones consisting of clones 2176, 6672, 8764, 9889, 7922, and 4892. Several of them were specialized as particular ranks, 6672 being a, 8764 a , and 7922 specialized in reconnaissance. Just prior to the deployment of the two hundred thousand clone troopers, 1211 requested that this unit be transferred to his battalion, the 56th. His request was accepted, and they immediately prepared to deploy on the world of.

Battle of Geonosis
The first assignment of the 56th Battalion was to rescue the  in the  and  the  on the desert planet Geonosis. The 56th itself would not be among the group of clones that were being sent to the arena, and instead they were heading straight to the front lines of battle. The 56th was given an just prior to the battle, which they took to Geonosis. In the middle of deployment, 1211 received information that the Jedi had been rescued, and they were now headed to the desert itself. The battle began with the gaining the upper hand, as no one had expected the clone army to arrive at that moment; even few of the Jedi knew about their existence. At the beginning of the encounter, the 56th was joined by, and throughout the battle 1211 looked up to the Jedi as a true leader. At some point during the battle, the 56th was ambushed by a swarm of warriors, one of which landed on top of 1211, whose yellow-marked helmet fell off. It pointed its spear at 1211, who barely dodged it, its head cutting along his left temple, leaving a deep scar. The Geonosian was killed by Tiin, who then helped 1211 to his feet.

After a while, the battle was won by the Republic. The 56th, along with several other clone units, were sent to, the Republic's capital, however it was there that 1211 was recalled to Kamino. He left the 56th on Coruscant and traveled to the ocean world to participate in the ARC Training Program.

ARC program
1211 participated in the ARC program on Kamino, and not long after his arrival began training alongside several other clone officers under the vigilant eye of ARC-77, nicknamed "Fordo." They underwent a series of intense training exercises, including simulations and tests, and learned what made them different from one another. Throughout the program, which had lasted at least a week, 1211 met many other clone officers, and grew especially close to CC-1322. By the end of the first week of the ARC program, 1211 and 1322 both became early graduates. 1211 had earned the nickname "Dodge" from Captain Fordo, for his quick movement in dodging blaster bolts during the simulations, and 1322 earned the name "Trigg." After a final farewell, Dodge took his leave for Coruscant, to rejoin the 56th.

Mission to Dirahn
The 56th Battalion's first official assignment, aside from Geonosis, was on a planet known as Dirahn, where they would assault a Separatist base. In a quick ambush, the 56th easily gained an advantage in the battle, and soon took control of the base. Once Republic forces arrived in the planet's orbit, Dirahn became a Republic planet, and the 56th was honored for their victory. After the battle, Dodge took the time to individually train select members of the unit, which then led to the creation of the elite Siege Platoon. He also allowed them to customize their armor.

Just after the mission, they were given their next assignment, on the planet Balmorra. Before they departed Dirahn's orbit, a Nu-class shuttle carrying a Jedi Knight arrived on the Valiance, and Viera Cacete joined the 56th as their Jedi General. At first, Dodge saw Viera as young and naive; but he also saw potential in her.

Battle for Balmorra
Prior to the combat began, Dodge met with Viera aboard the bridge of the Valiance, and conversed with her about the upcoming battle. During their conversation, Dodge informed her that he was not yet fully used to being referred to as the name given to him by Fordo, to which she replied to be familiarized with his own name, as he would not always be referred to as "commander." When their conversation turned to the topic of the ARC program, Droidpopper interceded by informing the two that Crow Squadron was ready to fight. Immediately after, they dropped out of hyperspace, and were greeted by a single, which stood idle and did not engage. The trio proceeded by reviewing their plan of attack on the Balmorran capital, Bin Prime. But with the apparent Separatist presence, they decided to play things safe and send a small squadron to perform reconnaissance. The clone pilot Osprey reported that nothing was amiss, before being attacked, and their transmission ended. At that moment, two more Separatist frigates dropped out of hyperspace and attacked the Valiance. The trio rushed to the hangar as Dodge ordered Lieutenant Eagle to deploy and engage the enemy. On a just prior to their deployment, Dodge introduced Viera to Siege Platoon, the group she would be working with for a large portion, if not the entirety of the war. The members of the platoon then introduced themselves individually, until their pilot, Angel, informed them they were taking off. Siege Platoon's gunship managed to make it through the initial flight through the aerial battle, with the aid of Osprey's squadron, and in Balmorra's atmosphere they found out that the Separatists had defenses set up in the mountains, which made their assault on Bin Prime much more difficult. With the original intent of landing in the plains beyond Bin Prime, Angel ordered the gunships to turn around and land in the mountains, however their gunship was shot down before they could gain range. They crash landed in a valley, and continued to combat the droid forces there. With the help of Snapshot, Dodge rescued an unconscious Angel from his doom, and they managed to overcome their enemy with Charger's rocket launcher, which he had fired at the peak of a mountain, causing an avalanche of rocky debris to fall upon their enemy. Dodge then told Flare to shoot a flare into the sky, signalling the rest of the 56th to their position - much to Charger's and Flare's amusement.

Shortly after the 56th's forces rendezvoused at their position, Osprey presented a casualty report to Dodge, and informed him they were receiving heavy resistance above the surface. Dodge then ordered a gunship, escorted by Osprey's squadron, to take the unconscious Angel to the Valiance for medical attention. After they left, the 56th was ambushed by squads of battle droids and Separatist Balmorrans, catching them off guard. They combated the Separatists for a long while until they started to penetrate their defenses. At some point, the Separatists fired a missile at the Republic forces, and Viera used the to stop it in midair before it made impact with the ground. However, she was shot in the shoulder by stray blaster fire, causing her to lose focus and the missile to go flying at a group of Balmorrans - the Republic had wanted to kill the least amount of Balmorrans possible. Dodge, with the aid of Snapshot and Droidpopper, got Viera to cover, and Dodge tried to tell Viera that killing the Balmorrans should now be the least of their worries. Before he could continue fighting the Separatists, members of the Balmorran Defense Front suddenly arrived at the scene, led by their leader, Irella Wain. After they repelled the attackers, Viera and Dodge went to greet Wain. Dodge and Viera found her to be arrogant and prideful, and Viera made a comment noting this; although Dodge told her he would not say anything that could get him relieved of duty. Just after their conversation ended, the Separatists returned with reinforcements, and they resumed their engagement.

Armor and equipment
During the Battle of Geonosis, Dodge had donned the typical yellow-marked clone commander gear, however after the ARC program he customized his gear with blue markings and received accessories including a, , and. His sported intricate navy blue designs on his arms and torso, and on his right shoulderpad was the symbol of the, showing his loyalty to it. Dodge typically wielded a pair of ; however he also utilized a in combat.

Personality and traits
A born leader, Dodge learned from the ARC Training Program how to become his own person. Earlier in his life, on Kamino, he had learned several strategic plans, many of which he saw unfit for use in the field. Because of this he organized his own tactics, which generally resulted in success. Dodge also understood brotherhood as much as the next clone, and preferred to keep the safety of his brothers rather than accept their sacrifices, even for the sake of their missions. Dodge's loyalty to the Republic was strong, although inside he sometimes felt a sense of discomfort; he had developed a hatred for the arrogant and prideful Kaminoan cloners.
