Originally a Clone Cadet during the early phase of the pan-galactic conflict between the Galactic Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems, Fives completed his training on Kamino and attained the rank of Trooper alongside his teammates in Domino Squad: CT-782 'Heavy', CT-4040 'Cutup', CT-2010 'Droidbait' and CT-1409 'Echo'. As a newly-trained soldier, he was stationed on a Republic outpost on the Rishi Moon at the time of a Separatist attack on the installation by General Grievous. As one of only two survivors of their squad, Fives was recruited into the 501st Legion alongside his fellow survivor, Echo, at the behest of Captain CT-7567 'Rex' and Marshal Commander CC-2224 'Cody' who had assisted them during the incident.
Sometime later, following the successful defense of Kamino from a joint assult by Grievous and the Sith Apprentice Asajj Ventress, he and his 'twin' joined the ranks of the elite Advanced Recon Commandos.
In response to the capture of Jedi General Even Piell, Fives and Echo were deployed with a team of Jedi and Clones from the 501st and 212th to Lola Sayu in order to rescue the imprisoned General from a facility known as 'The Citadel'. Though the team sustained multiple casualties over the course of the mission, including the death of Piell and the presumed loss of Echo, Fives was among the survivors rescued by Jedi General Plo Koon and his 104th Wolfpack Battalion.
The loss of his brother was a devastating blow, but the Trooper did his best to carry on.
Later in the war, Fives served with the 501st during the Battle of Umbara. During the campaign, he played a key role in both the capture of an Umbaran airbase and the destruction of the Separatist supply ship, against the orders of their substitute Jedi General, Besalisk Master Pong Krell. This put himself and CT-5597 'Jesse' in the brig and nearly executed for treason. Ultimately, however, Fives was suspicious of the General from the start and eventually discovered that Krell had betrayed the Republic and deceived his own men into fighting each other. As a result, he participated in the battalion's effort to capture the fallen Jedi after he and Jesse were freed from their imprisonment.
Near the end of the war while attempting to take Ringo Vinda from the Separatists, Fives witnessed the death of Jedi General Tiplar, who was executed mid-battle by CT-5385 'Tup' for seemingly no reason at all. As it was later revealed, this was just the beginning in a chain of events leading Fives to discover a conspiracy involving inhibitor chips, a plot to destroy the Jedi Order, andโto an extentโSupreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine's connection to it. When Fives went to inform the Supreme Chancellor of what he'd found, he was accused by Palpatine as a failed assassin and framed for treason. The Trooper sought to warn Jedi General Anakin Skywalker and Clone Captain Rex, but was confronted by Clone Commander CC-1010 'Fox' and a contingent of Coruscant Guard Shock Troopers before he could relay all of the information. Frightened, drugged and desperate, believing that no one would listen to or believe his words, he drew a weapon on Fox and was shot, presumably dying in Rex's arms...

Name: Echo
Designation Number: CT-21-0408/ARC-21-0408/CT-1409/ARC-1409
Species: Human Clone
Sex: Male
Height: 1.83 meters (Pre-Citadel), 1.85 meters (Post-Skako Minor/Prosthesis)
Hair/Eye/Skin: Black/Amber Brown/Tan Olive
Birthplace: Tipoca City, Kamino
Affiliations: Domino Squad, Rishi Outpost Station, 501st Legion, Advanced Recon Commandos (ARC), Grand Army of the Galactic Republic, Confederacy of Independent Systems/Separatist Alliance (Brief/Unwilling), Techno Union (Brief/Unwilling), Clone Force 99, Galactic Empire (Brief), Imperial Army (Brief)
Echo, is a Clone Trooper Corporal who served the Grand Army of the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars. Born on Kamino, he was originally identified as CT-21-0408 and a Cadet of the Domino Squad with his batchmates, CT-782 'Hevy', CT-4040 'Cutup', CT-00-2010 'Droidbait', and CT-5555 'Fives', before he graduated from the Clone Training Center.
His first assignment after graduating was guarding the Rishi Moon Base, where he-along with Fives, Clone Captain CT-7567 'Rex', Clone Commander CC-2224 'Cody'-aided in warning the Republic of an impending Separatist attack on Kamino. Echo was commended along with Fives for their bravery and-as the only two survivors of the Domino Squadron-were absorbed into the Torrent Company of the 501st Legion.
Echo was involved in the defense of his birthplace from Separatist forces as they attacked Tipoca City, where they sought to destroy the Republic's Cloning Facilities. Once Republic forces successfully repelled the attack, Echo and Fives were both promoted to the elite rank of ARC Troopers./p>
After completing ARC Certification, Echo was later tasked with a mission to Lola Sayu, where he joined a group of Jedi and experienced Clone Troopers to retrieve coordinates to the Nexus Route from the Jedi Master Even Piell, who had been imprisoned on Lola Sayu's Citadel lead by Commandant Osi Sobeck. After Piell and his surviving men were rescued, the group headed for the landing field to escape on a commandeered Separatist shuttle. However, when the Trooper noticed a Commando Droid target their shuttle with a laser turret, he advanced to secure their ship, ultimately being blown up with the ship in a massive explosion that led his comrades to believe he was killed.
The severely injured-but very much alive-Clone was taken prisoner by Separatist forces, where he was sold to the foreman of the Techno Union, Wat Tambor. Echo was kept alive by being turned into a cyborg, albeit at the cost of his consciousness. For nearly two years he became an unwitting pawn for the Separatists, and during their campaign on Anaxes towards the end of the war, was the Confederacy's secret to success against the Republic. When Rex found traces of Echo's survival, he-accompanied by Clone Force 99 and Jedi General Anakin Skywalker-led a mission to rescue Echo on Skako Minor. They succeeded, and, in turn, Echo used his cybernetic capabilities to turn the tide against the Separatists on Anaxes, leading to the Republic's victory. After the mission, Echo decided to join Clone Force 99.
When Order 66 was activated, Echo was unaffected and witnessed to his dismay the execution of the Jedi General Depa Billaba by her own Clone Troopers on Kaller. Following this event, Echo saw the Republic becoming the Galactic Empire, which he was quickly disgusted with and ultimately deserted after refusing to execute innocent civilians on Onderon whom refused to submit to the Empire.
