CC-4477, nicknamed "Thire," was an Imperial clone shock trooper who served as a commander in the Coruscant Guard during the early days of the Galactic Empire. He was originally a soldier of the Galactic Republic, bred from the template of the human bounty hunter Jango Fett to serve alongside genetically identical clone troopers in the Grand Army of the Republic. During the early phase of the Clone Wars, Thire was a Clone Lieutenant in the diplomatic service branch of the Coruscant Guard. In 22 BBY, he accompanied Jedi General Yoda during a mission to Rugosa, where the general sought to form an alliance between King Katuunko and the Republic. The lieutenant was injured by Separatist battle droids, but managed to survive with Yoda's help.
