- "I can't disobey a direct order and leave my post, can I?"
"I wouldn't." - ―Ahsoka Tano and Gree
CC-1004, nicknamed "Gree," was a Clone Commander in the Grand Army of the Republic during the galactic conflict known as the Clone Wars. Gree was born and raised on the planet Kamino as a clone of the bounty hunter Jango Fett and, under the command of Jedi General Luminara Unduli, Gree led the 41st Elite Corps in a number of battles. After Padmé Amidala and Jar Jar Binks successfully apprehended Trade Federation viceroy Nute Gunray on Rodia, Gree was tasked with escorting the viceroy back to Coruscant. He failed, however, and Gunray escaped with the help of Asajj Ventress and Senate Commando captain Argyus.
Later in the war, Gree and Unduli commanded the 41st in the Second Battle of Geonosis. Alongside the 501st Legion, led by Anakin Skywalker and Clone Captain Rex, they led an attack on Poggle the Lesser's droid foundry in an attempt to provide a distraction for Padawans Ahsoka Tano and Barriss Offee. The distraction was successful and Tano and Offee were able to destroy the foundry and the newly-produced Separatist Super tanks.
In the final days of the Clone Wars, Gree and Unduli were present on Kashyyyk where they were assisting the Wookiees in their defense against the Separatist Droid Army. Jedi Grand Master Yoda had also arrived on the planet and he and Gree watched the battle unfold from an elevated command center. Gree received Order 66 from Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine during the battle, which commanded him to eliminate his Jedi Generals. He was forced to comply but before he could carry out the order, Yoda sensed a disturbance in the Force and quickly decapitated the clone commander.
