ES-01

ES-01 was the designation of a human male Elite Squad Trooper, one of the first conscripted soldiers of the Galactic Empire recruited via Vice Admiral Edmon Rampart's Project War-Mantle. ES-01, along with his squad-mates, was described by Rampart as one of the best soldiers in the galaxy, and was brought into the Elite Squad under the leadership of Clone Commander CT-9904. ES-01 was killed by CT-9904 after refusing to execute civilians under the protection of rebel leader Saw Gerrera on the planet Onderon.

ES-01 took an immediate disliking to the group's leader, Crosshair, and as they traveled to Onderon, made a remark about how he would one day lose his leadership role. The contentiousness continued during the mission, where ES-01 tried to take the lead and convince the squad to disobey orders, leading to his execution by Crosshair.
