RC-1707

"Here, tinnie tinnie tinnie. Here..."

- Jumper during Operation: FEARMONGER on Hypori.

Jumper was a clone commando in Kandosii Squad, along with RC-5194, nicknamed "Lucky", RC-7208, "Boxer", and RC-2584, "Derek."

Early Life
Jumper was "born" on Kamino in the year 30 BBY and selected to become a clone commando. His squad, a Phase Two team, was dubbed Kandosii Squad and they were given to Kal Skirata to be trained.

Jumper was unique among many of the other commandos in that he actually met one of the Nulls during his training. He and Prudii met by accident in Kal Skirata's apartment.

Battle of Geonosis
"Sounds easy. Just get in, blast a couple tinnies, do some damage, and get out. No problem, ner vod."

-RC-7208, "Boxer" Kandosii Squad was deployed to Geonosis along with two other commando squads: Umbra Squad and Adenn Squad. These squads' mission was to get into the cliff hangars and sabotage Separatist leaders' starcraft. After neutralizing the guards, the three squads entered and managed to sabotage seven Separatist ships before they recieved orders to fall back. Their actions killed five Separatist leaders, including a prominent Neimoidian named Ule Derann.

However, as they were pulling put, they were ambushed by CIS droids and mercenaries. All mebers of Kandosii Squad survived, but the other two were not so lucky. Umbra Squad lost two members and Adenn Squad lost three. Nonetheless, Boxer, Jumper and Derek were injured and spent a few months in rehab.

Siege of Saleucami
"Recon... Easiest job in the war."

-RC-5194, "Lucky"

The next operation Kandosii Squad was in was the Siege of Saleucami. Unlike their role in the Battle of Geonosis, Kandosii Squad acted mainly as pathfinders and reconnaissance inside the city.

Operation: Fearmonger (Hypori)
"So, we're supposed to sneak behind enemy lines, infiltrate their factories, and sabotage their production lines?... Cool."

-RC-1707, "Jumper"

After Kandosii Squad was finished on Saleucami, they were shipped off to Hypori for covert operations behind enemy lines. Their mission was to infiltrate Separatist factories and sabotage droid production lines, but without the Separatists finding out. They did this in a way invented by Null-5, or Prudii, whom Jumper had met back on Kamino. This method involved sneaking into the droid factories and adding five percent more carvanium to the metal that would be used for making the droids. This rendered them brittle and easy to destroy with almost any weapon.

Vergesso Asteroids Campaign
"Finally, a change... Now we kill pirates for a while instead of droids."

-RC-1707, "Jumper"

After Operation: Fearmonger, Kandosii Squad was deployed with the Republic light assault cruiser Above Reproach to the Vergesso Asteroids to investigate pirate activity in the asteoid belt. It was a small group: Kandosii Squad was backed by one ARC trooper, Captain Kote, and ten clone troopers. The group destroyed two pirate bases, with only three deaths. All of them were clone troopers: CT-4329/1190, CT-7089/2346, and CT-9043/1254. All three were buried in space.

Battle of Felucia
"On Felucia, the Seps dug their metal heels into the muck of that alien hellhole and dared the Republic to come in after them. So we did, only to be met with month after month of flesh-eating diseases, shrieking nocturnal predators, and other sights that haunt me to this day..." ―Anonymous 501st Clone Trooper

The Battle of Felucia was one of Kandosii Squad's most hated assignments. They performed recon and scout duties for the 327th Star Corps under General [[Aayla Secura. The planet had all sorts of hazards for non-native life-forms, such as "flesh-eating diseases" that caused extreme pain to those affected. When later asked what the worst part of Felucia was, Jumper answered, "The screams."

Luckily, Kandosii Squad was left uninfected by any diseases and survived relatively unscathed.

Operation: Knightfall
After Felucia, the members of the 501st garrisoned there were summoned to Coruscant, as was Kandosii Squad. When they arrived, they discovered that the Jedi Temple had been attacked and purged, and Order 66 had been executed. Kandosii Squad was ordered to search the Temple for any Jedi still alive. Jumper thought that it all seemed a bit strange and talked to Boxer, who was Kandosii's sergeant, about it. Boxer's reply was, "I smell something rotten too. Just wait."

Desertion
Kandosii was disturbed by the events on Coruscant during Order 66 and by the rumors flying around that it was Palpatine, not the Jedi, who betrayed the Republic. They found an ally in Prudii, who put them in contact with their old sergeant, Kal Skirata. Skirata helped them concoct a plan to desert. However, unknown to them was the fact that the Imperial Security Bureau, or ISB, had them under surveillance. Just as they stole a HAET-221 transport to make their escape, members of the 41st Elite Legion attacked. Lucky was killed in the ensuing battle, and Jumper was critically injured. However, he managed to retrieve Lucky's body and board the HAET-221. Just after Kandosii met up with a friend of Skirata's in orbit, Jumper died. He and Lucky were buried on Mandalore.

Personal
"Jumper, you di'kut, you've gotta stop showboating so much. Just get the job done without all the fuss."

-RC-2584, "Derek"

Jumper was regarded by the other members of Umbra as a bit of a show-off. As their usual pilot, he liked to perform stunts in vehicles that, in the words of Boxer, "left General Skywalker's mouth open."

He was also the sniper of Kandosii Squad, usually utilizing a scoped Kashyyyk long-gun instead of the standard DC-17m Interchangeable Weapon System|DC-17m sniper rifle.
