Gold Six (clone trooper)

A clone trooper pilot flew under the the call sign "Gold Six" during the Clone Wars. A member of the Republic Navy starfighter unit Gold Squadron, he piloted a V-19 Torrent starfighter, during Battle of Bothawui. Under the command of Jedi General Anakin Skywalker, Gold Squadron departed from the Star Destroyer Resolute. Gold Six and Gold Squadron were planning to stop a fleet of Munificent-class star frigates, which was led by the Confederate General Grievous. When the squadron confronted Grievous' frigates, the Confederate warships fired at Gold Six and his wingmates, resulting in casualties and forcing Gold Squadron to retreat. However, Skywalker continued toward the approaching ships. The squadron managed to draw Grievous' attention away from Republic AT-TE walkers hidden in the gas giant Bothawui Prime's asteroid belt, which greatly contributed to the Confederate fleet's eventual destruction.
