Sir, the Separatists are making a counterattack against the factory! We’re going to be surrounded!
—Cutter to Ra'akdoon about their imminent besieging
CT-25/07, better known by his nickname Cutter, was a Clone captain in the 666th Legion of the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars.
Biography[]
Early life[]
Like all early clones, CT-25/07 was created on Kamino, where he went through basic training and officer training before being assigned to the 666th Legion under Jedi Master Urde Ra'akdoon.
Serving in the 666th Legion[]
Cutter served Ra'akdoon faithfully whilst he learned about his new command. Cutter and Ra'akdoon got to know their men and, in Ra'akdoon's case, got to learn about the clones and how to command an army, as being a Jedi he was unused to commanding soldiers. Cutter helped Ra'akdoon in learning his command and how to effectively command his new military unit, as well as teaching him about the clones as much as he could. After war broke out in 22 BBY, Cutter and the rest of the legion travelled to Geonosis and took part in the subsequent First Battle of Geonosis. Cutter joined Ra'akdoon and a portion of the legion in assaulting a droid factory on the surface. After successfully knocking out the anti-aircraft gun defenses outside the factory, Cutter led the assault into the factory with Ra'akdoon, and was left in charge whilst Ra'akdoon and a squad of clones went in search of the control room of the factory to shut down the droid production that was splitting the clone forces.
Death[]
Whilst Ra'akdoon was searching for the control room, Cutter organised defending and clearing out the incoming droids coming from deeper in the factory. As he was doing so, he was alerted to an imminent counter attack by the Separatists that would besiege the factory. Leaving the clones for a moment, Cutter with a squad of clones went in search of Ra'akdoon, finding him in a surgery room. As he was relaying the information about the imminent siege, the room was targeted and exploded by a Separatist attack, killing several troopers including Cutter.
Legacy[]
Ra'akdoon expressed remorse at Cutter's death, blaming himself for not keeping a look out from the room that could have prevented the deaths of the troopers and Cutter.
Armor and equipment[]
Like other clone troopers, CT-25/07 wore the usual clone phase I armor, though as a symbol of his rank he also wore Kama in the form of an armored skirt and neck cover. As a clone captain, he carried a pair of DC-17 hand blasters as his main weapons, however like all clones, he was capable of using the other common blaster weapons carried by other troopers. Like all other clones, he carried Grenades, which could include Thermal detonators or Electro Magnetic Pulse grenades.
