Commander Cody CC-2224
Commander Cody (designation CC-2224)is a clone officer who has served in the Grand Army of the Republic, the Imperial Army, and is currently serving as Admiral Antidar Madakor's deputy in the Blood Fleet.

Cody was the leader of the 7th Sky Corp and the second-in-command of former General Obi-Wan Kenobi during the Clone Wars. After Order 66 was transmitted across the galaxy, Cody ordered an AT-TE heavy walker to fire on his general during the Battle of Utapau. Later, he expressed regret about firing on one of the very few friends he'd managed to make.

Following the declaration of the New Order, Cody and the 7th were slated to be absorbed into the faceless, emotionless ranks of the Stormtrooper Corp. Admiral Madakor, however, intervened, and the 7th was transferred to the Blood Fleet under Madakor.

Cody played only a minor part in the Battle of Eriadu, but turned the tide of the battle in Madakor's favor and forcing his nemesis Tyber Zann to flee. He did not accompany Madakor to Polis Massa, but did assist in capturing the traitor Moff Kalast at the Battle of Atzerri.

When Madakor decided to defect from the Empire, Cody was the first officer to support him. This was strange, seeing as how he was bred to be loyal to Palpatine, but it was welcome, all the same. He led the main ground attack on Eriadu, the planet Madakor chose as his base, as well as the assault on Phelarion and the other planets in the Seswenna Sector.

When he was last seen, he was helping Madakor in preparing the defenses against the inevitable Imperial counterstrike.

Personality
Cody kept his Phase-II armor like the rest of the 7th, but modified it as a jungle camo scheme instead of the normal white and colored his orange markings black. On Madakor's orders, the rest of the 7th followed suit. Cody also added a kama to his uniform.

Whenever Madakor was off on a mission, Cody would supervise the operations of the Blood Fleet from the bridge of the Venator-Class Star Destroyer Guarlara.

Cody was a formidable soldier and an excellent strategist. He followed a somewhat milder version of the Tarkin Doctrine; he would make the entire 7th Sky Corp fly above the capital city of the concerned planet, knowing that the display of hundreds of LAAT variants would inspire both fear and awe. But he never actually used force if he deemed it unnecessary, nor did he permit the killing of civilians. He hated the use of terrorism, seeing terrorists as cowards who called themselves freedom fighters for "sitting on their shebse in one part of the galaxy while exploding a bomb in another part".

Cody learned about his Mandalorian heritage during a chance encounter with Kal Skirata a year after the Battle of Geonosis. He taught everything he had learned, including the Mandalorian language, to his soldiers, who caught on quickly.
