Niner

Niner was the nickname of a clone trooper who served in the Galactic Republic's Grand Army during the Clone Wars. Niner was part of Clone Commander Fil's squad, who accompanied recently promoted Jedi Knight Nahdar Vebb during a mission to the third moon of Vassek in 22 BBY to capture the Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray. Before the group entered a castle belonging to the Confederate General Grievous in search of Gunray, Fil paired Niner with the trooper Bel and ordered both to stay outside and guard the clones' shuttle. After Fil ordered Niner and Bel to contact the Republic fleet for more clone trooper reinforcements, the clones boarded the transport to contact the fleet. However, one of Grievous's MagnaGuards used a missile launcher to destroy the Republic shuttle, killing both Niner and Bel.
