CC-8827, nicknamed "Hunter," was an ARC clone trooper who served in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. Cloned from the template of the Human male bounty hunter Jango Fett on the water world of Kamino, Hunter was a graduate of ARC trooper Alpha-17's elite clone commander training program. Given the rank of clone marshal commander, Hunter became the commanding officer of the Fist Of The Fleet, and in 19 BBY served in the five-month-long siege of the Separatist planet Saleucami. After the forces of the Galactic Republic captured Saleucami, Hunter and his Reconnaissance Corps—under the command of Jedi General Stass Allie—remained behind after the main Republic forces left, being tasked with destroying the last pockets of Separatist resistance.
