Character Intel: Captain CC-7567 "Rex"

Captain "Rex"

CC-7567, also known as Rex, was a clone trooper captain. During the Clone Wars, Rex was in command of Torrent Company of the famed 501st Legion. Rex and his men were assigned to patrol the sectors of the galaxy within the Outer Rim. Anakin Skywalker's second in command during the Clone Wars, Captain Rex was a freethinking, tough, and aggressive clone trooper. Rex voiced his professional opinions even to higher ranked Jedi. Yet his noteworthy individuality aside, Rex follows his orders without question, just like the rest of the clones and as seen when Ahsoka orders him to complete a mission rather than aid her in combat against General Grievous.

Rex's armor used the color design that the entire 501st Legion had in 19 BBY, though the armor itself was still Phase I armor. He also wore a kama and pauldron, and his helmet displayed Jaig eyes. He carried twin blaster pistols but also utilized the more standard blaster rifles. Interesting enough, Rex's armor resembles the uniform of the ARC Troopers. It is not yet stated if he received any ARC training. When required, Rex could also be seen using jetpacks.

Rex went on many missions with General Skywalker and Kenobi and made good friends with both of them. Rex fought alongside Generals Kenobi and Skywalker at the Battle of Christophsis. He followed the latter in destroy the tri-droids, along with Torrent Company. After the enemy retreated, Anakin's new Padawan, Ahsoka Tano came in. Rex was perplexed, as Skywalker told him that he would never have a Padawan. He and Ahsoka exchanged a few remarks before noticing the enemy deploying a shield generator, which would make their long-ranged artillery impossible to fire. He and his troops held the line while Kenobi "negotiated" with General Whorm Loathsom and Anakin and Ahsoka went to disable the shield generator. Once the shield was down, Rex ordered their cannons to quickly finish off the enemy advances.

At some point during the Clone Wars, Rex, along with Senator Amidala, R2-D2 and C-3PO were sent to Christophsis to investigate crystals being stolen from the planet by the Nightsisters. During the mission, Rex was injured in a fight, and the four were captured then put into a prison. A Jedi team of two, along with Clone troopers led by Commander Gree were sent to Christophsis to rescue them. The Jedi managed to find the prisoners, and the four escaped to Gree's LAAT/i, which had a medical bay on standby for Rex.

Other notable battle he and his men participated in were the Battle of Teth, Battle of the Rishi Moon, Battle of Bothawui, Mission to Skytop Station, and unfortunatley followed Anakin Skywalker to the Jedi Temple when Order 66 (Great jedi Purge) was put into motion by the Emperor. After the Galactic Empire went int opower he and his men became Vader's personal legion of troops. They were then renamed "Vader's Fist" and were the most feared legion of Stormtroopers in the galaxy.
