CC-5576-39, known as "Gregor," was a clone commando who served as a captain in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. He suffered amnesia when the Galactic Republic's forces were defeated by the Separatists on the planet Sarrish. Gregor eventually wound up on the Outer Rim world Abafar, where the Sullustan Borkus took advantage of the clone's lack of memory and employed him as a dishwasher at his diner. However, Colonel Meebur Gascon and the D-Squad, who were searching for a way back to the Republic after recovering a Confederate encryption module, helped Gregor gain his memory back and convinced him to aid their mission. The clone commando distracted the forces at the local Separatist mining facility while Gascon and the D-Squad escaped Abafar.

Biography

Unit CC-5576-39, known by the nickname "Gregor," was a Human male born on the planet Kamino. He was cloned from the template of the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett, and received training as a clone commando, earning the rank of captain. He served in the Grand Army of the Galactic Republic^[3] as part of the Special Operations Brigade^[2] during the Clone Wars, which launched in 22 BBY.^[4] Two years later,^[5] Gregor and his squad were on attachment to the 212th Attack Battalion,^[1] and participated in the Republic's assault against the Separatists on the planet Sarrish,^[3] during the Outer Rim Sieges.^[5] The forces of the Republic suffered severe casualties during the battle, and Gregor, who tried to find help for his fellow clone troopers, suffered amnesia and ended up on a shuttle. The shuttle carrying him crashed on the planet Abafar, which was also in the Outer Rim, and the Sullustan Borkus, who owned the Power Sliders diner in the city of Pons Ora, rescued Gregor. The commando's lack of memory was taken advantage of by Borkus, who rented an apartment in the city and employed the clone as a dishwasher in the diner.^[3]

Eventually, the Zilkin Colonel and the pit droid WAC-47—who along with the other members of the D-Squad, were searching for a way to esacpe Abafar and reach the galactic capital Coruscant—entered Power Sliders looking for nourishment. After Borkus refused to serve the duo, Gregor encountered Gascon and WAC-47 in the back of the diner searching through the garbage. After Gregor offered the Zilkin something to eat, Gascon recognized the amnesiac as a clone, confirming his suspicions with further inspection. Gregor was commanded by Gascon, who believed he was on an undercover mission, to iad them. However, Gregor returned to work when Borkus called for him, leaving Gascon and WAC-47 in the alley. After Borkus closed the diner for the day, Gregor questioned him about his own identity, and the Sullustan brushed the questions off and told Gregor not to ask about them again.^[3]

After arriving at his apartment, Gregor encountered a hologram of the clone captain CT-7567, and was confronted by Gascon and the members of the D-Squad, who attempted to jog his memory. Gregor only remembered waking up on a transport ship and crashing on Abafar, and also recalled Borkus rescuing him. Gregor's left wrist, which was marked with an identifying code, was scanned by the astromech R2-D2 to reveal the amnesiac soldier's unit number, rank and status as a clone commando. Gregor began to vaguely recall the events of the Battle of Sarrish, and Gascon convinced Gregor to join them in completing their mission. After he trimmed his hair and shaved his beard, Gregor, Gascon, and the droids went to Power Sliders, where the commando believed his armor and equipment were being kept by Borkus. As Gregor and the D-Squad were searching for his equipment at the diner, Borkus confronted them and threatened Gregor with his DC-17 blaster rifle. The Sullustan informed them that the Separatists were mining rhydonium, a volatile fuel, in order to destroy the the Republic cruiser in Abafar's orbit. When Gregor tried to grab the weapon from Borkus, the Sullustan hit the commando and taunted him; however; Borkus was disarmed and restrained by the D-Squad.^[3]

Gregor, Gascon, and the droids headed to the local Separatist mining facility. After verifying Borkus's claims, Gregor told the Colonel and the droids to head straight for the attack shuttle as he covered their escape. The commando began to dispatch the battle droids guarding the facility, targeting various barrels of rhydonium in order to destroy the facility's operations and to provide cover for the D-Squad. When Gascon and the astromech M5-BZ were separated from the group, Gregor retrieved them and provided more cover fire. As the D-Squad made their escape aboard the shuttle, Gregor targeted more of the rhydonium barrels as he was being overrun by the droid forces, resulting in the facility's destruction.^[3]

Personality and traits

When Meebur Gascon discovered Gregor, he was confused and not very confident and spoke in a low voice. He thought Borkus was doing a good thing for him by letting him get an apartment and work as a dishwasher for money. When Gregor asked what a clone was, Borkus told them they were brave and skilled soldiers and that was something Gregor was not. As D-Squad began to reassemble Gregor's personality changed. He became confident and spoke louder in a brave and proud voice. He then realize Borkus was treating him like a slave, and became a proud soldier for the Republic once again. He was brave and daring enough to go on the task to destroy entire mining facility and a whole battalion of droids and even promise his superiors that he would return. He also put other lives before his own and let D-Squad escape while he stayed to fight.

Equipment

Gregor wears Katarn-class commando armor with digital camo and yellow markings. He carries a DC-17m Interchangeable Weapon System for a weapon.
