Shiv (clone trooper)

Shiv was a clone cold assault trooper in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. During the war, Shiv enjoyed writing to fellow clone trooper Flanker, even after Flanker's death during the Battle of Christophsis. In 22 BBY, Shiv and his squad were assigned to Glid Station on the ice planet of Orto Plutonia to field-test an assortment of subzero gear. While on the planet, his squad encountered an elusive and dangerous species they nicknamed the "ice men." The creatures killed any of the clone patrols they encountered. Shiv and his commander, Mag, were later killed by the ice men while inspecting one of the station's outer sensors. The rest of the clones stationed in Glid Station, along with all the battle droids at the nearby Separatist base, were killed by the ice men as well. A Republic investigation later discovered that the ice men were actually a colony of Talz that had been attacked by the Separatists and that Glid Station was caught in the ensuing conflict.
