Charger was a clone trooper in the 501st Legion, serving under the command of Jedi General Anakin Skywalker and Captain Rex during the Clone Wars. He was part of an elite unit sent to Lola Sayu for a jailbreak operation, but was killed when he fell to his death from a cliff.[4]
History[]
Around 21 BBY, Jedi Master Even Piell was captured by Separatists forces in an attempt to access the coordinates of the Nexus Route, which he had memorized. He was taken to the Citadel, a heavily guarded prison on the planet Lola Sayu deemed "impenetrable". Quickly, an elite strike team was formed, comprising of Jedi, ARC troopers and clones from the 212th Attack Battalion and 501st Legion, of which Charger was a part of.[4]
After bypassing the Separatist blockade, the team began scaling a wall to the entrance, avoiding electro-mines. As Charger, the last man to climb, reached the top, the rock under his foot broke off. He fell and died when he hit an electro-mine, triggering the Citadel's alarm.[4]
Armor and Equipment[]
Charger had Phase I armor with blue stripes across his arms and helmet, and carried a DC-15S blaster carbine. He also wore a backpack, which he used to hold his blaster as he was climbing.[4]
