"Commander Tacks here, CC-2801."
―CC-2801 introducing himself[2]

Tacks, designated CC-2801, was a Clone Commander who served in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars fought between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. As a commander, he was in charge of a regiment of clone troopers.

Biography

CC-2801[2] was born on the planet Kamino from the genetic material of Jango Fett, a bounty hunter who became the template of the clone trooper army.[3] CC-2801 eventually adopted the name Tacks and achieved the military rank of Clone Commander. As part of the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars, a pan-galactic conflict between the Confederacy of Independent Systems and the Galactic Republic, Tacks was in charge of a regiment.[2]

Personality and traits

As with all clone troopers of the Galactic Republic,[1] Tacks[2] was a clone of Jango Fett, and as such, stood at 1.83 meters tall and was a human male. He also had black hair and tan skin.[1]

Equipment

Tacks was equipped with phase I clone trooper armor before upgrading to phase II clone trooper armor later on. On both sets of clone trooper armor, he outfitted his armor with macrobinoculars and a black pauldron.[2]

Behind the scenes

Tacks is the announcer for the Galactic Republic in the multiplayer modes of Star Wars Battlefront II, a video game released in 2017 and published by EA Digital Illusions CE, Motive Studios, and Criterion Games. Like all clone troopers in the game, he was voiced by Dee Bradley Baker, who also voiced the clones in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series. The official spelling of his nickname was clarified by the EA Community manager Jay Ingram on his Twitter account.[4]

Since Star Wars Battlefront II establishes that CC-2801 is a clone trooper of the Republic, he must share these characteristics.
