Thire

Thire, designated CC-4477, was a clone shock trooper who served as a clone trooper officer in the Coruscant Guard of the Galactic Republic and subsequent Galactic Empire, beginning his military service as a lieutenant in the Guard's diplomatic service branch before eventually rising to the rank of Clone Commander and leading the Guard's Senate Building security detachment towards the end of the Clone Wars. Thire was bred from the template of the human bounty hunter Jango Fett to serve alongside genetically identical clone troopers in the Grand Army of the Republic. During the early phase of the Clone Wars, in 22 BBY, Thire accompanied Jedi General Yoda during a mission to Rugosa, where the general sought to form an alliance between King Katuunko and the Republic. The lieutenant was injured by Separatist Alliance battle droids, but managed to survive with Yoda's help.

Thire had achieved the military rank of commander by the time of Order 66 when the clone troopers turned against the Jedi Order. Yoda attempted to overthrow the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, who declared himself Galactic Emperor, and was subsequently hunted by Thire's shock troopers. The Jedi Grand Master managed to elude his pursuers by escaping from the Galactic Senate Building on Coruscant. Afterward, Thire's squad escorted the Emperor to Mustafar where they rescued the Sith apprentice Darth Vader.
