Biography[]
Grown on the planet Kamino,[1] Oz was a clone trooper who served in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars.[3] In 20 BBY,[2] Oz served in a platoon of the 501st Legion that was sent to secure the planet Umbara. During the Battle of Umbara, the legion's Jedi General, Anakin Skywalker, was called back to Coruscant and replaced by Jedi Master Pong Krell.[3]
Krell ordered Oz's platoon to lead a full-frontal assault on the Umbaran capital. Although wary of Krell's order, the platoon followed the jungle road to the city. However, the road was mined, and Oz, along with fellow soldier Ringo, were killed in an explosion. Oz and Ringo's comrades confirmed that they had died, and Clone Captain CT-7567 "Rex" ordered the road to be swept for more mines. Shortly after, the Umbaran Militia ambushed the platoon, forcing them to retreat.[3]

Clone Troopers in the Databank (backup link) states that clone troopers were grown on the planet Kamino and stood at a height of 1.83 meters. The entry also states that clone troopers were based on the genetic template of Jango Fett, who is depicted as a human male in Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones. Since "Darkness on Umbara" depicts Oz as a clone trooper, this article assumes that he shares those characteristics.
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 Star Wars: The Clone Wars Chronological Episode Order on StarWars.com (backup link) states that the events of "Darkness on Umbara" take place after the events of "Prisoners" and before the events of "Crisis on Naboo." Since Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates the events of both "Prisoners" and "Crisis on Naboo" to 20 BBY, it can be deduced that the events of "Darkness on Umbara," which include Oz' death in the Battle of Umbara, also occur in that year.
