Bly
Category: CharactersThis clone trooper commander was in charge of defending the Old Republic's base on New Holstice, during the height of the Clone Wars. Officially designated as CC-5052, Bly was one of the first ARC troopers to be trained by Alpha, and was specifically trained on Kamino. Note that Star Wars Insider magazine, issue 84, indicates that Bly's designation was CT-80/88-2199.
After New Holstice was attacked by a group claiming to be of Mandalorian descent, Bly was attached to Jedi Master Aayla Secura's unit as squad leader of the 327th Star Corps, during a mission to recover a scientific instrument package from Honoghr. Their mission was to recovered the SIP from a Separatist transport that had crashed on the planet, dumping a cargo of trihexalophine1138 into the environment. It was on this mission that he found himself doubting General Secura's leadership when she refused to let him kill Quinlan Vos, who had suddenly appeared on Honoghr in search of the same SIP. Bly couldn't help but be suspicious at Quin's offer to locate the SIP together, then allow Aayla to return to Coruscant with it. He agreed to the plan because of General Secura's orders, but wasn't surprised when Quin tried to escape without them. Before he could fire, Bly was knocked to the ground by a blast of Force energy. Dazed, Bly was unable to get a good read on Vos as the two Jedi engaged in a lightsaber duel. Only when Aayla surrendered, hoping to draw out some shred of good in her former Master, did Bly get a chance. He managed to shoot Quinlan twice, but the renegade was able to escape to his ship, albeit without the SIP. Bly and General Secura returned the scientific instrument package to Coruscant, hoping that it would provide a way to save the Noghri.
In the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, Bly was dispatched to Felucia with Master Secura. However, when Darth Sidious revealed his true nature and killed Mace Windu, he sent out communications to the various clone commanders to execute Order 66. Upon hearing the order, Bly ordered his troops to open fire on Secura and Barriss Offee, utterly destroying the defenseless Jedi Masters.
In the aftermath of the Clone Wars, Commander Bly was assigned to lead the team that was dispatched to subjugate the planet Yutusk.
