CC-7427

CC-7427, nicknamed "Rayvis", was a veteran Clone Commander and Advanced Recon Commando who commanded the famed 401st Legion of the Grand Army of the Republic. Throughout the Clone Wars, Rayvis served under the command of Jedi General Del Morrigan, whose bravery and unconventional nature in battle he came to share. In addition to his close friendship with Morrigan, he also developed a friendship with Morrigan's apprentice, Main Character. As a commander of the 71st Delta Corps, Rayvis served under Clone Marshal Commander CC-7713 "Apollo", who was responsible for Rayvis' extraordinary leadership as he mentored him throughout the conflict. Rayvis valued working with his companions during the front-line campaigns against the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

During the final years of the Galactic Republic, Rayvis was created from the genetic template of Jango Fett, bred for the Grand Army of the Republic. Once deployed from the clone homeworld of Kamino, Rayvis served in major battles against the Confederacy of Independent Systems, such as the First Battle of Geonosis and the Battle of Abrion Major.

During the Outer Rim Sieges, the Republic dispatched General Morrigan's task force and the 401st Legion to the planet Abrion Major, where the Separatists had established secret military facilities. Following the attack on the Separatist blockade over Abrion Major, Rayvis was stationed aboard the Venator-class Star Destroyer Integrity as he prepared the 401st Division to aid Apollo in the ground assault. As he made preparations for battle, he received a transmission in which Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine, secretly the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, instructed him to execute Order 66. With the programming the clones received, Rayvis turned on his Jedi commanders and led the pursuit to kill them onboard the Integrity. Ultimately, Rayvis and his force of clone troopers failed to eliminate Morrigan and TBD as instructed.

Early life
Like the rest of his clone brothers, CC-7427 was created from the genetic template of the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett on the planet Kamino. He was one of the first generation clones created to serve in the Grand Army of the Republic. As he grew to be among one of the greatest soldiers in the clone army, Rayvis excelled in his training which earned him the rank of Clone Commander. He was also given Advanced Recon Commando training as a result of his superior skill. When the clone troopers initially saw action, Rayvis was deployed in the 401st Legion and dispatched to Geonosis with Grand Master Yoda.

Early battles
As Rayvis and the other clone troopers arrived on Geonosis, they fought against the droid army of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. He served directly under Clone Commander CC-7713 "Apollo", who was initially put in command of the 401st. Rayvis and the other clones fought well during the battle and earned veteran status within the Grand Army of the Republic. After the 71st Delta Corps was formed and Apollo was promoted to Clone Marshal Commander, Rayvis was put in command of the 401st Legion.

Order 66
"Please don't do this Rayvis. This isn't you." "Stand down now."

- Del Morrigan and Rayvis during Order 66 After Republic Intelligence learned of Separatist activity on the planet Abrion Major, the Morrigan and TBD were dispatched to take control of the planet. When Morrigan's fleet arrived, they confronted the Separatist blockade over Abrion Major. The well fought battle resulted in the Republic forces defeating the blockade. Morrigan sent the 401st to initiate the ground assault under the command of Commander Apollo. Rayvis was put in command of the new division of the 401st, which made preparations to join the other clone troopers on the surface. Rayvis, Morrigan and the troopers of the 401st Division stayed aboard the Venator-class Star Destroyer Integrity awaiting Apollo to contact them regarding his progress.

While Rayvis was discussing battle strategies with Morrigan and TBD, he received word that he was needed for an important transmission. As he stepped aside, he answered the transmission, which was from Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine, ordering all clone troopers to execute Order 66. Rayvis agreed to follow through with the order and he walked back into the briefing room to face Morrigan and TBD. Rayvis briefly hesitated and trembled as his behavioral modification chip activated, but eventually succumbed to his programming and turned on the two Jedi. As a few clone troopers entered the briefing room, Rayvis put his helmet on and drew his hand blasters on Morrigan and TBD. As the Jedi were fired upon, they began defending themselves before escaping the briefing room. When Rayvis and the other clones recovered from the Jedi's attack, Rayvis informed the rest of the 401st Division that the Jedi had been sentenced to death via Order 66 and anyone refusing to carry out the order would also be executed for treason. He ordered his men to form search parties and fan out across the Integrity in search of the Jedi.

While the troopers of the 401st Division were searching the Star Destroyer, Rayvis met a platoon of clone troopers from the 401st Legion that was led by Clone Lieutenant CT-5552 "Stinger". The platoon was sent by Commander Apollo to help aid in the pursuit of the Jedi. Rayvis briefed them on their progress and then split the platoon in half, with two squads led by Stinger and the other two led by Rayvis. Shortly after, Rayvis attempted to contact the squad stationed in the hangar control room, but received no response, presuming that Morrigan and TBD had taken over the hangar. And as he presumed, Rayvis was informed that the bay doors in the main hangar were being opened, so Rayvis ordered all the clone troopers to meet him in the hangar. When R3-D3, one of the astromech droids assisting Morrigan and TBD, opened the bay doors to a few shuttles, Rayvis and his men entered the center of the hangar and gathered in formation. He told his men that anyone attempting to escape would have to go through them, confident in his force of clones.

Rayvis watched as Morrigan and TBD entered the hangar with their hands up, pleading for mercy. Morrigan attempted to remind Rayvis of their comradeship and enduring trust for each other, but aside from trying to get through to his old friend, he was attempting to stall while he waited for an escape shuttle. As Rayvis grew impatient and frustrated, he ordered his men to open fire on Morrigan and TBD and they were forced to defend themselves once again. The clones continued to close in on the Jedi, blocking them off from escape until Morrigan's astromech droid, R4-P11, arrived in the hangar with a Nu-class attack/transport shuttle. After the droid started firing the laser cannons of the shuttle at the clone troopers, more of Rayvis' reinforcements stormed into the hangar to help fight off the Jedi. Rayvis ordered his reinforcements to focus their fire on the shuttle while he focused on the main target. As instructed, the clone troopers shot down the shuttle with R4-P11 still inside and it crashed into the side of the hangar.

After the explosion, R3-D3 returned to retrieve another shuttle once he confirmed that R4 was destroyed in the crash. As he returned to the hangar, Rayvis and his men had Morrigan and TBD pinned down again. R3 began firing the laser cannons at the clones, like R4 did, clearing a path for his companions. As more of his troopers continued to fall, Rayvis led one last assault on the two targets, but they were no match for the heavy fire of the shuttle. TBD Force jumped over the last group of clones and made his way to the shuttle, followed by Morrigan. Rayvis watched as Morrigan and TBD fled the Integrity. After his failure to execute the order, Rayvis was contacted by Apollo, who was disappointed in Rayvis and his division for their failure. Apollo ordered the remaining troopers aboard the Integrity to return to Abrion Major so they could clear the remaining Separatist forces from the planet.

Commander in the clone army
A legend amongst his clone brothers, CC-7427 was a Clone Commander of the Grand Army of the Republic. He was produced from the clone template of the bounty hunter Jango Fett. Like all of his fellow clone troopers, Rayvis was bred to serve the Galactic Republic. Although he was eager to follow orders, Rayvis adopted a less rigid and strict approach as the Clone Wars waged on. During the war, Rayvis was loyal to his Jedi superiors and his clone peers. He felt like protecting his companions was one of his primary duties as a leader.

Companion to the Jedi
Rayvis was very close to Jedi General Del Morrigan and his Padawan, Jedi Commander Main Character. He prioritized a close relationship with them as he understood the importance of rapport during hard times in war. Rayvis and Morrigan trusted each other with their lives on a constant basis and tried to keep up good spirits throughout the Clone Wars. They were close enough that light friendly teasing was common in their conversations. Despite some of the risky plans of Morrigan, he trusted the young Jedi General and obeyed his orders. Rayvis also kept a close friendship with Morrigan's Padawan, Main Character, becoming a mentor to him offering valuable advice and leadership experience. Although he was close to the Jedi, Rayvis was unable to resist the programming of the behavioral inhibitor chip during the enactment of Order 66. He had a moment of struggle following the order but was ultimately succumbed to the inhibitor chip. He ordered the attack on Morrigan and TBD, but failed to kill them as he was assigned.

Equipment
During the Clone Wars, CC-7427 wore both Phase I and Phase II clone trooper armor with maroon markings. As an ARC trooper, Rayvis acquired both sets of ARC trooper armor which he outfitted with a rangefinder, a double pauldron, a kama and ammunition pouches. Rayvis often used dual DC-17 blaster pistols as his preferred weapon, but also made use of the DC-15A blaster carbine.
