RC-8237

RC-8237, also known as Peregrine, was a Republic Commando and one of the last of the Clone Army to be produced on Kamino. He came out of the facilities just weeks before Order 66 serving under Jedi Master Yoda. He injured his head in battle, and therefore, his inhibitor chip was severely damaged. Order 66 had no effect on him, and Peregrine survived to become a bounty hunter. He first found work running spice between Mon Gazza and Oba Diah for the Pyke Syndicate. Later, he found jobs working for the Crymorah Syndicate for a short time. After the resurfacing of Crimson Dawn, he became one of their top hunters, taking jobs directly from Qi'ra. After a few more years, he worked for the Black Sun. Around 2 BBY, Peregrine found very high-paying jobs straight from Prince Xizor, head of the Black Sun Syndicate. However, on one particular bounty on former Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, Peregrine refused to do the job and Xizor ordered to have him terminated. Peregrine escaped, but lived in Coruscant's underworld for over a decade after that, well past the death of Xizor. During that time he got small jobs within the underworld for the Pykes; just barely enough to make a living for himself. He was eventually shot and killed by a bounty hunter in 15 ABY who had received a job to murder Peregrine, because of both his disloyalty to the Empire (he was a former Republic soldier) and because of his betrayal to Prince Xizor.

Serving the Galactic Republic
Peregrine came out of the cloning facilities on Kamino specially trained by Nala Se as a clone commando.

Battle of Kashyyyk
Peregrine's first and only mission was to fight beside Grand Master Yoda and Master Luminara Unduli in the Battle of Kashyyyk. He fought against the army of droids emerging from the water, just after the Wookies did. He blasted many droids alongside his squad, though their battle as Republic soldiers was short.

Order 66
As the Sergeant of his squad, Peregrine received the order to attack the Jedi. Having damaged his inhibitor chip earlier in the battle, Peregrine was confused and ordered his men not to obey the order. However, their chips kicked in and they attempted to eliminate him.

Refusing to shoot members of his own squad, Peregrine sought out cover in the jungle until the initial attack on the Jedi was over.

Rise of the Empire
Peregrine emerged from the jungle after the main attack on the Jedi and escaped the planet in a former Republic -- now Imperial -- starfighter, the Jynxer.

He flew to Coruscant, where he could find out what happened to the Republic and simultaneously figure out what to do to stay alive. When he reached Coruscant, he found that the Jedi Temple was in ruins and the Imperial Palace stood tall. Horrified and wary that he would be discovered, he changed into different clothes and hid in the underworld.
