As the Republic troops prepared to attack the Confederate droids below, however, the approaching droid column suddenly split in two, and battle droids launched an assault on the clones in the south tower, compromising the Republic's position. Chopper and the rest of Slick's unit were stationed in the south tower with Kenobi and Clone Commander CC-2224, while Skywalker and Clone Captain CT-7567 were based with their troopers in the parallel north tower. With the information that Slick and his unit had gathered, the Republic forces put their plan to ambush the droids into action. He then returned to the Republic base with his platoon. Yet, Chopper was disgusted with the crippled refugee's cowardice and threw a battle droid leg at him, insulting him and rudely telling him to use it as a crutch. When the battle droids came across a crippled Christophsian and discussed killing the man, the clones intervened and eliminated the droids. Īlong the way, the platoon chanced upon a squad of B1-Series battle droids that was clearing a major boulevard of Christophsian civilians, and Slick had Chopper and fellow trooper Sketch keep an eye on the droids while the clones parked their speeder bikes. After reporting their success to their Jedi Generals, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, Slick and his men returned to the Republic base. In the planet's capital, Crystal City, the clones found a candidate for an ambush site: a business center overlooking a large plaza with towers facing the north and south. On Christophsis, Slick's unit was tasked with reconnoitering the planet for a suitable site that the Republic could use to ambush the droids, and Chopper and his comrades set off on BARC speeders to scout out some potential locations. In 22 BBY, seven weeks into the war, the platoon was dispatched with a contingent of the Republic Army to liberate the planet Christophsis from the Confederacy of Independent Systems. He was eventually assigned to Clone Sergeant Slick's platoon. Chopper came to hold the battle droids of the Separatist Droid Army in contempt, and he even began to take the war personally. During the course of his service in the Clone Wars, he sustained heavy scarring from a battle droid ambush on Geonosis, and his right eye was also discolored from a head injury earned in battle. The trooper nicknamed "Chopper" was cloned from the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett on the planet Kamino to serve in the Grand Army of the Republic.

" I put up with the attitude because you have skill. Lying about where you were? Taking forbidden items from a battlefield? " Although Slick framed Chopper to be the enemy agent, the sergeant himself was revealed to be the turncoat and was apprehended after sabotaging the Republic's military supplies. While there, Chopper secretly made war trophies out of droid fingers pilfered from the battlefield, an exploit he was later forced to disclose when his superiors, Clone Commander CC-2224 and Clone Captain CT-7567, interrogated his unit to root out a potential Separatist spy. When the Separatists foiled the Republic's attempt to ambush them, Chopper and his unit were forced to retreat with the rest of the Republic troops back to their base.

In 22 BBY, he was dispatched with a Jedi-led contingent of the Grand Army of the Republic to liberate the planet Christophsis from the Confederacy. An aggressive soldier, Chopper was scarred during a battle droid ambush on Geonosis, and he came to hold a personal grudge against his Separatist adversaries.
