Ponds

Ponds, designated and formerly known as CC-6454, was a clone trooper commander in the Grand Army of the Republic. Assigned to High Jedi General Mace Windu at the First Battle of Geonosis, Ponds earned his General's trust as the commander of Lightning Squadron, a division of the Galactic Republic's 91st Mobile Reconnaissance Corps. In 22 BBY, Emir Wat Tambor of the Techno Union invaded the planet Ryloth, and Ponds assisted Windu in invading the planet to secure its liberation. Windu and Ponds ultimately joined forces with General Cham Syndulla and his Twi'lek freedom fighters to retake Ryloth from the Confederacy, capturing the capital city of Lessu and taking Tambor as a prisoner of the Republic.

In addition to campaigns at Simocadia, Juma 9, and Behpour, Ponds participated in the Battle of Malastare and assisted Windu in capturing a rampant Zillo Beast that had been awoken from the detonation of an electro-proton bomb. He later joined Windu on a respite from the war aboard the Republic Star Destroyer Endurance, at the time of the young bounty hunter Boba Fett's assassination attempts on Windu. After bringing down the Endurance on Vanqor, Fett and his crew of mercenaries—Aurra Sing, Bossk, and Castas—took Ponds, Admiral Shoan Kilian, and a clone naval officer hostage to bait Windu into a confrontation. As part of their hostage demands, Sing executed Ponds and later ejected his body from their starship, Slave I.
