clone troopers in the Encyclopedia (original site is defunct) states that all clone troopers cloned on the planet Kamino, were male and stood 1.83 meters tall. Since the Star Wars: The Clone Wars novelization portrays Del as a clone trooper, this article assumes he shares all of these traits.

- ↑ The Essential Reader's Companion dates both the Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones novelization, which depicts the debut of the Grand Army of the Republic in the Clone Wars, and the Star Wars: The Clone Wars novelization, in which Del appears, to 22 BBY. Since the latter work depicts Del as a clone trooper in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Battle of Teth, he must have also appeared in that year.
