Clone Lieutenant Thire (Star Wars: The Clone Wars)
CC-4477, also known as Thire, was a clone trooper commander in charge of the elite shock troopers known as the Coruscant Guard for the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars. Early in the war, Thire, serving as a lieutenant in the Grand Army of the Republic, was assigned, alongside troopers Jek and Rys, to escort Jedi Master Yoda to a diplomatic mission to Rugosa. When their transport was shot down by a Separatist Munificent-class star frigate, Yoda and the troopers landed on the moon's surface in an escape pod. The clones helped Yoda to get past a whole battalion of T81 Division's B1 battle droids along with Armored Assault Tanks, sent by Asajj Ventress to intercept them as a challenge to the competency of the Jedi and the Republic's forces, in order to secure a treaty with Toydarian King Katuunko.
