During the Clone Wars, Denal was a member of the famed 501st Legion. Still in possession of the holocron and the Kyber crystal, the bounty hunter escaped from the crumbling starship with the Republic troops.Ī clone of bounty hunter Jango Fett, the clone trooper nicknamed "Denal" was born on the planet Kamino to serve in the Grand Army of the Republic.

Bane donned Denal's armor in order to disguise himself as the clone trooper. Aboard the frigate, Denal confronted the bounty hunter himself, but was killed by him. The Republic did not manage to rescue Master Ropal, whom Cad Bane had tortured to death. Denal was one of the clones who infiltrated Bane's Munificent-class star frigate, which slowly began to tear itself apart, having been set on the self-destruct mode by Bane.

The Republic hoped to rescue the Jedi Master Bolla Ropal from Bane and retrieve two valuable items stolen by the bounty hunter-a Jedi holocron and the Kyber memory crystal, which contained information on every Force-sensitive child in the galaxy. Under the command of Skywalker, Denal participated in a Republic attack on the forces of the bounty hunter Cad Bane above the planet Devaron. On one occasion, he even saved Tano from a Separatist prison on Tatooine.ĭenal was also involved in the discovery and destruction of a new Confederate superweapon-one that could prevent Republic radar from detecting enemy armies. He rescued a battalion of clone troopers from a Separatist ambush, recovered a lost Republic cargo, and helped a Jedi in distress defeat a force of battle droids. Denal also saw action on Rodia, Tatooine and Orto Plutonia, conducting many missions on those planets. Of the five-man squad of clones that was sent there along with the Jedi, only Denal and Rex survived the mission. The group successfully completed their mission, blowing up the station with several explosive charges. At the start of the war, Denal accompanied Rex, Skywalker, and Skywalker's Padawan Ahsoka Tano, on a mission to destroy Skytop Station, a Separatist listening post located on one of the three moons of the planet Ruusan. Considered one of the most experienced members of that unit, he survived many Clone Wars campaigns alongside Captain CT-7567-nicknamed "Rex"-and Jedi General Anakin Skywalker. " Denal" was the nickname of a clone trooper in the elite 501st Legion.
