Tyto, identified as CT-52/89-9204, was one of many clones derived from Jango Fett—a Human male bounty hunter measuring 1.83 meters in height—who were created on the planet of Kamino to serve within the ranks of the Grand Army of the Republic. During the period known as the Clone Wars, Tyto fought for the Galactic Republic as a clone trooper captain, commanding Bacta Company. This company consisted of four platoons, totaling one hundred and forty-four troops. Bacta Company was a unit within the Hawkbat Battalion, which itself was part of the 327th Star Corps. The 327th Star Corps belonged to the 7th Legion, which was integrated into the 101st Regiment of the Systems Army Alpha's 2nd Sector Army.
