Description: Clone Commander Bacara
Prefix: CC
Detachment: Clone Trooper Detachment
Context: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
Bacara is a clone marshal commander serving in the Grand Army of the Republic. He was selected to be part of the initial ARC training program under the command of Alpha-17. During this time he developed a reputation as a loner. His loner's reputation carried over into his career as a soldier, but does not stop him from putting the needs of his troops ahead of his own. Upon completion of his ARC training, Bacara used his newly acquired knowledge to turn the Galactic Marines into a highly efficient ground unit. Following continued action in the Outer Rim Sieges, Bacara and Ki-Adi-Mundi were ordered to the snow-covered world Mygeeto. While stationed on Mygeeto, Bacara was given Order 66 and eliminated Jedi general Ki-Adi-Mundi.

For 501st membership only the requirements in black need to be met.
In the page below, items listed in blue are recommended features that will improve the quality of the costume. Items listed in red are intended to further enhance the finished costume.
Special Notes:
• The “Animated” armor design, seen in 2008 The Clone Wars Cartoon Series, differs from the “Realistic” armor design used to create characters from the theatrical films, video games, and graphic novels. See this thread at 501stclonetroopers.com for the differences between the sculpts. (This may require an additional forum account.)
• Armor parts shall be made from fiberglass, ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene), or a similar rigid material. This includes vacuum formed plastics as well as properly finished and smoothed 3D printed armor forms. See this thread at 501stclonetroopers.com for examples of acceptable and unacceptable levels of 3D print finishing.
• All numerical measurements given in CTD CRLs are approximate. Measurements should be followed as closely as possible while not affecting the proportionality of costume details. Proportionality should take precedence over exact measurements.
