Scorch

Scorch, also identified as RC-1262, was a clone commando who served in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars and in the Galactic Empire's Project War-Mantle and Advanced Science Division with the military rank of Clone Commander. Scorch's military service with the Galactic Republic included the time serving with the commando unit, Delta Squad. In 20 BBY, the squad recovered two killed Jedi from the planet Devaron following a massacre there led by Count Dooku's new Sith apprentice, Savage Opress. Delta Squad took the bodies to the Jedi temple on the planet Coruscant and reported to four Jedi High Council members there.

In the period following the end of the Clone Wars and the rise of the Galactic Empire in 19 BBY, Scorch was involved in the training of the first generation of non-cloned Imperial stormtroopers at an Imperial base on the planet Daro. After fellow clone commando Clone Captain Gregor was captured trying to desert the base, the rogue clone commando unit known as Clone Force 99 infiltrated the base to free him. Scorch engaged Gregor and his liberators and pursued them, wounding Gregor and overpowering Tech before being incapacitated by a flurry of stun blasts by the remaining rogue commandos. He later regained consciousness and joined Imperial troops on an LAAT/i gunship to apprehend the Bad Batch leader, Hunter, taking him into Imperial custody. Scorch then served in the Advanced Science Division under Dr. Royce Hemlock, leading the Imperial royal guard commandos as a Clone Commander.

After Clone Force 99 infiltrated the Tantiss Base in an attempt to rescue Omega and the facility's imprisoned clones, Hemlock attempted to escape off-world with Omega in tow in a CX Dagger vessel outside the base. Scorch escorted Hemlock and Omega to a landing platform, where Hunter and Crosshair managed to catch up to them and shoot down the shuttle. Before he could retaliate, Scorch was shot multiple times in the chest and staggered off the landing platform's catwalk to his death.
