Background: CC-3500 was born on Kamino at the beginning of the Clone Wars where he was made with a sharper eye than most other clones. CC-3500 was then stationed to the Venator-class Star Destroyer titled Orbit-5, where he was tossed from battalion to battalion attempting to find a suitable one that would best utilize his skill set. Upon more evaluation, CC-3500 was immediately transferred to a flight school training facility in a nearby sector. Here, he was tested and granted the rank of Airman, but still remained unaffiliated with a Corps. He trained best with the Z-95 Headhunter, proving to be a most efficient dogfighter pilot. This landed him a spot in the Grey-Squadron under the Republic Starfighter Corps. While a crewman in Grey-Squadron, he came very fond of his four colleagues in the crew. With some time on station, CC-3500 was granted the rank of Airman First Class and Grey-Squadron was given orders to station on his old Venator, Orbit-5. Some months of operations pass by before the Orbit-5 is faced against two Seperatist frigates just outside of the Azure sector. Orbit-5 proves inferior in the battle and is destroyed. As the star destroyer sank planetside, three out of four of his crewmen were killed. CC-3500 and CC-1999 “Spitfire” managed to escape Orbit-5 through emergency escape pods and were later rescued on the planet by the Republic. CC-3500 is then given the name Slammer for his efforts aboard Orbit-5 and is granted the rank of Chief Master Sergeant in order to take command of Grey-Squadron. CC-1999 “Spitfire” is placed as the ASL of the squadron and is granted the rank of Senior Master Sergeant. With some time, CC-3500 “Slammer” and his 2IC are stationed aboard the Venator-class Star Destroyer titled the Pathfinder, a ship carrying the 327th Star Corps. Aboard the ship, CC-3500 and CC-1999 are given their own branch of the Corps, the 19th Air Wing. With the new command, Spitfire and Slammer are tasked with the recruitment and training of aspiring airmen aboard the craft. The 19th Air Wing eventually expanded into four different squadrons and CC-3500 was granted the rank of Commander and CC-1999 Lieutenant Commander respectively. The 19th Air Wing is then stationed in the Azure sector upon planet Anaxes with the 327th Star Corps. CC-3500 then officially changes his callsign to “Pathfinder” as a tribute to his old star destroyer.

Other notable features:

CC-3500 "Pathfinder" is fascinated by planets, stars, and their stories and represents this with a telescope in his bunks. His helmet has Slammer scratched into it, but it's x'd out and replaced with Pathfinder directly below it. The cockpits of each one of his ships is personalized much more than it should be.
