Auburn

"(The Jedi can amuse and fascinate us all, but it is engineering that will win us the war.)"

- when the Clone Wars began.


 * CT-7899, nicknamed "Auburn", was a clone trooper of the 158th Battalion that had no Jedi General to serve during the Clone Wars. Early in the war, he partook in the battles of Christophsis and Mon Calamari. Later in the war Auburn became an Advanced Recon Commando.

Early life
7899 was cloned in the same batch with famous clone Captain Rex on Kamino from the DNA of the notorious bounty hunter Jango Fett in 32 BBY. He began to collect parts from the different guns in the training programs done by the Mandalorian trainers. He began making guns and other weapons in private so he wouldn't be held back from the war. When 7899 had completed his training he was granted permission to stay on Kamino for another month so he could look after 99, during his stay for the month he met Clone Commander Bay. The two clones got along very quickly and Bay noticed 7899's appearance usually having oil or grease on his face.

When 7899 told Bay about his hobby, Bay requested that he modify his DC-17 Blaster to have less recoil and to also give it a paint job. 7899 Painted his DC-17's brown and that his where he got his nickname from, Auburn. Clone Commander put in a request that Auburn be transferred to his battalion, the 158th; the request was accepted.

Battle of Christophsis
In the Battle of Christophsis Auburn was stationed on a rooftop with a DC-15x Sniper rifle. During the conflict Auburn spotted a group of commando droids heading towards an injured sector of troops left in the back. Auburn risked his life by jumping between rooftops and then throwing a grenade that landed 4m infront of him, the explosion left Auburn in critical condition but he still managed to save his fellow brothers. The explosion left two scars going across his eyes going vertically.

After the Battle of Christophsis Commander Bay rewarded Auburn with a promotion to an ARC trooper.

Battle of Mon Calamari
Auburn played a very small role in this battle only serving as recon. But he managed to shoot down aqua droids that where heading towards Kit Fisto. Clone Commando Sev had heard of his incredible shots and the two had became very close friends after that. After Sev's disappearance Delta Squad offered Auburn to join Delta Squad but Auburn turned down his offer as he did not want to "disrespect" his close friend.

Armor and Equipment
Auburn personally customized his armor doing his paint job in thick auburn paint. His phase II armor was almost identical apart from the markings on his eyes to represent the scars he had received from his most proud moment. Auburn usually wore macrobinoculars. He did not wear a pauldron as it would draw more attention to him during battle.

All of Auburns weapons are personally modified with his favourite being his DC-17's and DC-15x.
