"Thorn" was the nickname of a Coruscant Guard clone shock trooper who served in the Clone Wars. Holding the rank of Clone Commander, Thorn and a contingent of shock troopers from the diplomatic service escorted Senator Padme Amidala to the planet Scipio where Rush Clovis assumed control of the InterGalactic Banking Clan with the support of the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems in 19 BBY. Shortly afterward, the Separatist Droid Army invaded Scipio, with a squadron of Hyena-class bombers attacking the clone troopers' position and destroying their ships. Surrounded by an unrelenting wave of battle droids, the clones fought to the last man, with Thorn standing as the final warrior. Although he was able to destroy many droids, the commander sustained several blaster shots to the chest and was ultimately killed by a BX-series droid commando. Following the deaths of Thorn and his men, the Grand Army of the Republic retaliated and drove the Separatist military away from Scipio. As a result, control of the Banking Clan was ceded to the office of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine.
