VigilanceBiography: Commander Cody. A living legend, hero of the Republic. Obi-Wan Kenobi's clone commander and friend. A veteran of many campaigns of the Clone Wars, from Christophsis to Ryloth. Born like every other clone in the cloning vats of Kamino, CC-2224 displayed a flair of independent thought, which caused the Kaminoans to single him out for officer training. While he did not serve on Geonosis, he was assigned Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi as his Jedi General. The two became quick friends, fighting together across countless battlefields. Due to Kenobi's association with famed Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, Cody often found himself teaming up with Skywalker's most trusted trooper- Captain CT-7567, better known as Captain Rex. The two had known each other in officer's training, and were an unlikely duo- Rex's risky assaults and daring plans contrasting sharply with Cody's more cautious approach to tactics. Still, they were comrades-in-arms, from the ambush on Rishi Moon were he, Rex, and a few rookie troopers took out a raiding force of CIS Commando Droids and saved Kamino to rooting out a traitor in the ranks of the clones on Christophsis to fighting through the hives during the Second Battle of Geonosis. Although it was tough, brutal, and oftentimes depressing, Cody could not have asked for a better time. And then there was Utapau.
Utapau itself wasn't much of a problem. The CIS fell quickly. Order 66 being issued wasn't a problem. It was the Chancellor speaking, after all. His orders were to be obeyed beyond all else. Firing on Kenobi wasn't a problem either. The ex-General was a traitor, Cody was ordered to, the clone had to follow his orders. Only problem about it was that the order came after Cody had given Kenobi's lightsaber back. But what Utapau meant to Cody was the end of the war. Without purpose. But as easily as moving from one campaign to another, Cody and the 7th Sky Corps he commanded were given a new mission: peacekeeping. They did that job, did it as only clone troopers could. But then word reached Cody that his friend Rex had defected. Deserted everything a clone stood for, fled on some wild claims of a conspiracy against the Jedi. Cody was taken aback. Certainly the Jedi conspired against the Chancellor, and not the other way around! But more than that, Cody was devastated. As much as he'd hate to admit it, the traitor Kenobi had been a good friend, Rex even more so. Kenobi was a Jedi, thus, his traitorous status could be excused. Rex was a clone, a brother. Loyalty and honor were sown into their very being. How one could just abandon that Cody couldn't understand.
Of course, Cody quickly had to move on from the loss of his friend to more pressing matters. During the Clone Wars there was little to no red tape, just get what you needed. With the new reforms, the bureaucracy swallowed Cody and the 7th Sky Corps more than a thousand Sarlaccs. The 7th was disbanded. Cody had to fight, using every ounce of weight he had to throw around, to keep the 212th under his command, and the Vigilance the 212th’s home even after she was due to be decommissioned and the subsequent Separatist raid. But eventually Cody triumphed. The 212th was his, and the Vigilance the 212th’s. Cracks started to show in Cody’s satisfaction with the new Imperial Army. Too many non-clones, Cody believed. If you wanted something done right, you had to have an army of one man- but the right man for the job!
Fortunately for Cody, and any potential non-clones who would be assigned to the battalion, the 212th remained entirely pure clone. And then the CIS resurfaced, the Outer Rim erupting into war once more. The 212th was mobilized in response. To Cody and his men, this was a return back into the war they had fought a year prior. Gradually the clone troopers have began to think it as the Same Shab, Different Day.
