Ayar was a clone trooper in the Grand Army of the Republic. In 22 BBY, he fought as a part of Torrent Company in the Battle of Teth. During the ensuing battle, Ayar was killed by battle droid forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems.
Biography[]
Members of Torrent Company enter the monastery.
In 22 BBY,[2] during the Clone Wars, members of the Galactic Republic's Grand Army of the Republic were deployed to[3] the Outer Rim planet Teth.[5] to rescue Rotta, the child of Jabba Desilijic Tiure from the Confederacy of Independent Systems. In the assault, 501st Legion's Torrent Company scaled the sheer walls of the B'omarr Monastery where the Huttlet was being held. Although the company took heavy casualties, many survived the ascent, including Ayar.[3]
Upon entering the monastery, the troops were met by 4A-7, a Confederate spy droid posing as the monastery's caretaker. Ayar, along with clone troopers Lunn, Coric, and Vaize, led by Jedi General Anakin Skywalker, confronted the droid. After incorrectly determining 4A-7 to be nothing but a simple caretaker droid, the men of Torrent Company prepared a defense against Confederacy counterattacks. Although Ayar survived the initial assault, he was killed along with all but six members of Torrent Company during the reactionary attacks from the Confederacy on the monastery.[3]
Personality and traits[]
As a male Human clone of bounty hunter Jango Fett, Ayar stood 1.83 meters tall, and was born on the Wild Space planet Kamino.[1]
Equipment[]
- "Kill the lights unless we make enemy contact, night-vision visor and infrared only."
- ―Clone Captain CT-7567 "Rex", to his troopers upon entering the monastery
Ayar was equipped with a set of standard Phase I clone trooper armor, and a night-vision visor affixed to his helmet.[3]
Behind the scenes[]
Ayar first appeared in the 2008 novelization of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars film by Karen Traviss. Although his death is not explicitly detailed, it is noted in the novel that only six clone troopers of Torrent Company survived, and Ayar was not one of those listed, so this article assumes he was killed at some point after the confrontation with 4A-7.[3]

Notes and references[]
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4
clone troopers in the Encyclopedia (content now obsolete; backup link) states that all clone troopers were cloned on the planet Kamino, were male and stood 1.83 meters tall. Since the Star Wars: The Clone Wars novelization portrays Ayar as a clone trooper, this article assumes he shares all of these traits.
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 The Essential Reader's Companion dates both the Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones novelization, which depicts the debut of the Grand Army of the Republic in the Clone Wars, and the Star Wars: The Clone Wars novelization, in which Ayar appears, to 22 BBY. Since the latter work depicts Ayar as a clone trooper in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Battle of Teth, he must have also appeared in that year.
