- "What do I think about it? I don't know, really. Nobody's ever asked me for my opinion before."
- ―RC-5093
RC-5093 was a clone commando who served in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. Ultimately surviving the conflict, RC-5093 went on to retire from the military and began living in the CF VetCenter located on the galactic capital planet, Coruscant. During his retirement, RC-5093 was asked what he thought about the Clone Wars, but, having never been able to form his own opinion or beliefs, the former commando was unable to answer.
Biography[]
Bred on the planet Kamino,[1] RC-5093[2] was one of the many clones of the Human male bounty hunter Jango Fett.[3] Trained to be a clone commando,[4] RC-5093 was created to serve in the Galactic Republic's Grand Army during the Clone Wars against the Separatists.[3]
RC-5093 survived the Clone Wars, and he later retired from the military was interviewed at the CF VetCenter on the Core Worlds planet[5] Coruscant. During the interview, RC-5093 was asked how he felt about the war for which he had been bred, but he was unable to formulate a reply, having never before been asked his opinion. The former commando was twenty-three standard years old when he was asked the question, but, due to the advanced aging process of all clone troopers, RC-5093 was sixty biological years old at the time.[2]
Personality and traits[]
As a clone commando,[4] RC-5093[2] was trained for covert infiltration, sabotage, demolition, and assassination.[6] RC-5093 stood 1.83 meters tall,[1] like all other clone troopers.[3] However, also like other clone troopers, RC-5093 had his individuality and independence suppressed during his training and was therefore unable to form his own opinions. Thus, when asked about his opinion on the Clone Wars, RC-5093 was unable to reply.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
RC-5093 first appeared in the 2004 novel Hard Contact, the first novel in the Republic Commando series written by Karen Traviss; he was quoted at the beginning of the novel's sixteenth chapter.[2]
