TK-875

TK-875 was a clone stormtrooper who served in the Galactic Empire during the Galactic Civil War. In 0 BBY, he was present on the Empire's Death Star battle station when a group of Alliance to Restore the Republic operatives infiltrated the station to rescue one of its prisoners, Princess Leia Organa. Following the rescue, within the Death Star's Central Core Shaft, the Princess, along with another member of the group, Luke Skywalker, found themselves behind a blast door leading to a shaft. Skywalker had unknowingly disabled the controls to a bridge meant to extend across the shaft, and as the two were trapped on a narrow overhang, TK-875 was part of a trio of stormtroopers who exchanged blaster fire with them from a higher overhang across the shaft. Eventually, Skywalker and Organa managed to swing across the shaft with the use of a grappling hook, evading TK-875's blaster fire. The Alliance would later on destroy the Death Star over the Yavin system.
