Fives

Fives was a clone trooper who served in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. Because of his clone designation, CT-27-5555, or CT-5555 for short, he took the name "Fives." Around 22 BBY, Fives was assigned to Domino Squad, a unit of clone cadets that trained within the planet Kamino's clone military education complex, under the command of the Siniteen Sergeant Bric. Fives and his squad were required to pass a test in order to become battle-ready clone troopers. After the completion of their training, Fives, along with a number of other rookie clone troopers, was assigned to Rishi Station, a listening post located on the moon of Rishi. Fives was present when the Confederate General Grievous invaded the moon to take control of the Republic listening post. With the arrival of Clone Commander Cody and Clone Captain Rex, the two clone officers helped Fives and the surviving rookie troops retake the outpost.

Fives and trooper Echo, the only rookie survivors of the battle, were rewarded with medals for their service on the Rishi moon and were inducted into the 501st Legion. They later helped defend Kamino after Grievous, along with Dark Acolyte Asajj Ventress, invaded the planet and attacked Tipoca City. Following the Confederate attack on Kamino, Fives and Echo were promoted to ARC troopers for their continuous efforts, with Fives being also known as ARC-5555. As the war continued, both Fives and Echo joined Jedi Generals Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker in the rescue of Jedi Master Even Piell from the Confederate prison known as the Citadel. After they rescued Piell and his officers, the facility's warden, Osi Sobeck, released battle droid forces on Fives and the Republic group. While Echo and Piell perished during the battle, Fives and the surviving members of his team were rescued by Jedi Master Plo Koon.

Some time later, Fives was assigned on special assignments to the 501st legion during the attack on Umbara. When General Pong Krell took over command from Anakin Skywalker, Fives was the loudest voice against Krell and his leadership. Fives was later proven correct when Krell revealed himself to be working against the Republic. Fives was also present during the Battle of Ringo Vinda. When his friend Tup went crazy and killed Jedi General Tiplar, Fives took him back to Kamino for further medical study. Fives found surprising evidence that contradicted what the Kaminoan scientist, Nala Se had found, which led him to conduct a full study and research on his own, hiding from Republic authorities. When Shaak Ti ordered him to present his evidence to the Chancellor, Nala Se drugged him and Palpatine faked an assassination attempt. On the run, Fives tried to convey his information to General Skywalker and Captain Rex. However, he was tracked by Commander Fox and a group of Shock Troopers. When Fives tried to defend himself, Fox shot him through the heart. Fives died knowing the truth about Chancellor Palpatine and Order 66, but was unable to prove this to anyone.
