CC-7492 "Tempest"

"'Starvation will kill us before the Seperatists will.'""— CC-7492, Battle of Anaxes"CC-7492, later known to men under his command as "Tempest", was a Clone of Jango Fett with a genetically-engineered template specifically made for clones under the designation of "CC". He was permanently assigned to the 302nd Legion as a Battalion Commander for the 684th "Astralis" Battalion and served with exceptional military thinking and both strategic and tactical prowess in the field. He would make his debut during the Liberation of Ryloth, and directly commanded his battalion during the Second Battle of Geonosis and the Mygeeto Campaign.

Early Life
CC-7492 was engineered and grew up on Kamino within the confines of Tipoca City. Given a genetic template made specifically for those with the "Clone Commander" designation, he was given training different to the regime most of his brothers have undergone, including his induction and accomplishment of the ARC Training Program. By 22 BBY he was assigned to as one of the many Battalion Commanders that participated in the battle of Geonosis, under the 302nd Legion.



The Siege of Anaxes
The siege of Anaxes lasted for two weeks, and became Tempest's finests achievements. The siege lasted for at least a month, with what little supplies they were given, as well as the high casualty rate from both the 684th and 111th.

During their second week, Tempest had been ordered to move up through the southern sector. They needed to move, an fast, as this breakthrough was vital in rerouting the droid force up in the northern sector to reinforce the south and relieve the northern emplacements. The assault was a lively one, a symphony of blaster fire and walkers coming in, dipping their legs into the shallow river they were going to cross. The commander, in the midst of the battle, was soon alerted to the arrival of the 111th, vital to their assault. He would also lead a detachment of engineers to take out the flak cannons in the rear that prevented Y-Wing Bombers from taking out the droid company that prevented them from assaulting the droid positions.

The rest of the siege went relatively smoothly, although a near-critical situation almost went out of hand when their garrison was put on fire by several commando droids.

Phase I
Tempest was originally, like many of the other commanders, adorned in yellow stripes, although his color pattern remained predominantly white. By the time of the Battle of Kamino, he and his battalion were given the colors red, grey, and white. He also wore a kama, but would soon remove it as soon as he was given Phase II Armor.

Phase II
Tempest's Phase II armor was less vibrant than his Phase I. The design was outfitted in similar fashion to CC-2224, with more accessories for communication and command rather than accessories that denoted rank or ones that could simply be handheld. His accessories consisted of two helmet antennae, a shoulder antenna, a mini-light attached to the right temple of his helmet, and a shoulder band that wrapped from his shoulder down to his lower torso which held extra equipment.

Biological Information
CC-7492 was one of the few clones that were given a specific set of genetic instructions that make them less docile, in turn making him more susceptible to independent decision-making in the field of battle whereas most clones rely on orders. He was a tactician and usually preferred a methodical approach to things, but his experience in the field has led to adjustments in his way of thinking. He has connections to CC-6804 and the several campaigns he has participated with him. The two see each other as friends, although remain distant as their assignments did not allow them to grow as better friends.
