- "The six Ps, sir. Proper Planning Prevents Pi… Inadequate Performance, sir."
- ―Niner[src]
RC-1309, also known as Niner, was a sergeant and the clone commando leader of the Galactic Republic's elite Omega Squad. Niner was named because of the final number in his military id. He was trained by Kal Skirata and revered him. After his entire squad was killed in action at the Battle of Geonosis, he was reassigned to Omega Squad, whose members were also the sole survivor of their squads. He was previously in Lambda Squad and was a sergeant in both squads.

[edit] Biography
[edit] Mission to Quilura
The next place he saw action in was when his squad was sent to Qiilura to destroy a biohazard facility and capture the Confederate scientist Ovolot Qail Uthan. When the squad evacuated the planet with their hostage, he personally faced off against Ghez Hokan. By feigning injury, it was a plan to have Hokan come forward to him where Fi, another member, would snipe him in the head. However plans did not work that way, and Etain Tur-Mukan ended up killing Hokan.
[edit] Mission on Coruscant
He helped lead Omega Squad with the help of Kal Skirata in neutralizing terrorist activity on Coruscant. The mission involved "black ops" in which Skirata took Omega and Delta squads, Ordo (ARC N-11), Walon Vau, and generals Etain Tur-Mukan and Bardan Jusik. A mole was discovered in the GAR logistics center. Niner's role was simply as part of the crew. He was part of the regularly scheduled patrol and was instrumental in the destruction of the Corru-Fresh landing pad where the terrorists were based. During the operation, the two squads had moments of cooperation as well as confrontation. Unlike his counterpart in Delta squad, Boss, who liked being in charge, Niner liked to lead by "being sure."
[edit] Mission to Gaftikar
Niner, along with Omega Squad, shipped out to Gaftikar,a Separatist held planet, to assist local rebels, a lizard-humanoid species called Marits. When Darman and Fi infiltrated a city on Gaftikar, Eyat, disguised as civilians they stumbled across the AWOL ARC trooper Sull. They take him back to the camp where Niner disagrees with N-12, A'den, about what to do with the AWOL. Eventually Niner loses the argument and Sull is set free. When Niner led his squad to a HoloNet station in Eyat, Fi suffered a severe head injury that took him off the team.
[edit] Order 66
During the Skirmish on Shinarcan Bridge Extension Niner broke his spine after falling off the bridge because of a Jedi padawan. Darman refused to abandon him, even after being ordered to leave. He recovered and joined the Imperial Commandos along with Darman as the other members of Omega Squad fled.
