CT-09-8913 otherwise known as "Talkback" was part of the rank and file dispatched to Geonosis. She served as her squad’s communications specialist, but demonstrated she had a head for tactics and leadership after her squad’s sergeant was killed in action. She was promoted following the battle to fill the gaps in the command structure, and her squad disbanded to shore up gaps in other units. After the intervening six months of the war, Talkback continued to rise in rank as she survived battles and her superiors didn’t, reaching the rank of captain six weeks prior to the death of her Jedi General and heavy losses to the 481st.

Talks is a big eater and big reader with a keen mind but lacks the superior combat skills of many of her brethren to make it this far into the war. She thinks of her rank as a burden to bear and would happily turn it over if she didn’t know that she was the right person for the job. She’s not the easiest clone to work with, as she can and will question orders, make adjustments, and adapt to new situations. She’s been talking back to her superiors as early as training when she critiqued trainers’ strategies and advice, which also earned Talkback her name.

Intelligence: The PC knows that every victory hinges on knowing as much about the enemy as possible. She is driven to gather any and all potentially useful data, wishing to locate vital and vulnerable targets for Rebellion forces to strike at. She not only wants to know what the Imperial military factions are up to, but also the state of technological research, economic policies, and other aspects of Separatist strength.

The captain’s armor was a stark contrast to the shinies, its white panels dulled, pockmarked, scarred, and painted. Bracers; greaves; and lines running along the breastplate, shoulders, and helmet were painted a deep forest green. On the captain’s shoulder, in aurebesh, were the words “she/her”, while a red X rested over the left side of her breastplate. Finely stenciled vines and flowers covered her left greave while the right was plain and looked brand new. Her left bracer housed her commlink and a painted word balloon beside it, while her right was marked with four sets of numbers, clone numbers, two of them struck through.

The captain was slighter than most, with a narrow waist, that was emphasized by the kama around her hips. Slung low on her left side was a DC-15s carbine, while sitting for a crossdraw pull was a DC-17 on her right. The captain wore her insignia on her breastplate and unusually had a strip of thick, brown cloth tied around her right bicep, the ends dangling loose.
