Name: CC-0087 “Blitz”
Rank: Clone Commander
Tier: Low 2
Background: CC-0087 "Blitz" is the 49th clone manufactured by the Kaminoans and the commanding officer of Rancor Battalion within Systems Army Dorn. As one of the first 100 clones, he received Alpha ARC training directly from Jango Fett, excelling in blasters, jetpacks, explosives, and Mandalorian hand-to-hand combat. Notably, he managed to beat Jango Fett in traditional Mandalorian hand-to-hand combat during training, an achievement he routinely brings up in conversation. His nickname "Blitz" came from his bold, aggressive strategies during combat simulations, though his impatience frequently led to failures and injuries until his brother Colt helped him learn control. Recognizing his combat prowess, camaraderie with his brothers, and leadership abilities, the Kaminoans transferred him to the Commander Program headed by Alpha-17, after which he was assigned to lead Rancor Battalion and deployed to Geonosis.
Blitz's first major action at the Battle of Geonosis saw him leading Rancor Battalion into the catacombs to link up with the 212th Recon Division and Delta Squad, fighting Geonosians to a standstill to prevent Republic forces from being flanked and encircled. During the battle, he saved his brother Colt from a magnaguard by dodging under its arm, repeatedly stabbing it with a vibroblade, and shooting off its head. When CIS reinforcements arrived, Rancor Battalion retreated behind the 212th Recon as Colt detonated traps that collapsed the catacomb entrance. The massive casualties from suicidal Jedi-ordered charges deeply affected Blitz, creating a rocky relationship with his Jedi commanding officers that persisted through much of the early war before he eventually forgave them. He has since distinguished himself across numerous campaigns including the First Invasion of Mandalore, Battle of Rishi, Muunilist Campaign, and Mygeeto Campaign, becoming known as an able commander and fierce fighter who has recently formed a close bond with a Chiss baby named Aomizo, frequently caring for her when Colt is unable to.

Weaknesses: Blitz is extremely impatient, to the point of being one of his main character traits. As such, the trooper needs to be constantly reminded to control himself. In a combat scenario, this should be exploited at every possible moment to achieve as many openings and advantages one can. Blitz also has the habit of getting caught in the moment, and thus a surprising attack from a third-party or unexpected move could be used to strong effect when he zones out. Blitz is slightly weaker at long range and prefers close to mid-range combat, and thus one should engage him with that in mind, if possible. Lastly, when it comes to his brothers, Blitz is far too emotionally driven; and one should exploit this for everything it is worth in a combat or grand strategy scenario.
