Biography
Edit
A Human male clone of the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett served as a trooper in the Galactic Empire's Stormtrooper Corps. During the Galactic Civil War, he was member of the 501st Legion, an elite stormtrooper legion[3] and was assigned to the Imperial I-class Star Destroyer Devastator, commanded by Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader.[6]
In 0 BBY, after Rebel agents transmitted the stolen plans of the first Death Star, a new Imperial superweapon, to the Rebel CR90 corvette Tantive IV, Senator Leia Organa's consular ship, the Devastator pursued and captured the Rebel vessel over the planet Tatooine.[1] The Trooper was among the stormtroopers who boarded the Tantive IV. His squad was ordered to search for the passengers of the ship.[7]
DV-692, the superior of the Trooper ordered half of the men under his command to search a passageway and secure a junction,[7] while he was leading the Trooper and the rest to the port subhallway.[5] Their orders were to search the passageways astern and forward.[7] One of his squadmates spotted Senator Organa, who was hiding in a small alcove. Organa shot the Trooper and his squadmate before trying to escape, but DV-692 stunned her with his E-11 blaster rifle. The Trooper's squad escorted Organa to Vader who, after a brief conversation with the prisoner, ordered them to take her to the Devastator.[1]
