==Biography==
===Desert Sands assignment===
{{Quote|Sounds like trouble.|Davin Felth, to 1047|<ref name="Stormtrooper" />}}
1047<ref name="Stormtrooper" /> was a [[Human/Legends|Human]]<ref name="CSWE" /> [[Gender/Legends|male]] who served in the [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Galactic Empire's]] [[Stormtrooper Corps/Legends|Stormtrooper Corps]]<ref name="Stormtrooper" /> by [[0 BBY/Legends|0 BBY]]. By that [[Standard year/Legends|year]],<ref name="TERC">''[[The Essential Reader's Companion]]''</ref> he had become a [[Desert stormtrooper/Legends|sandtrooper]]<ref name="ANH">{{Film|IV}}</ref> [[Sergeant/Legends|sergeant]],<ref name="Pauldron">{{DB|organization|sandtroopers|sandtroopers|archivedate=20100330032415}} confirms [[Color/Legends|white]] [[Pauldron/Legends|pauldrons]] are indicative of [[Desert stormtrooper/Legends|sandtrooper]] [[Sergeant/Legends|sergeants]].</ref> attached to the [[Desert Sands]] unit under [[Captain/Legends|Captain]] [[Mod Terrik]]'s [[Commanding officer/Legends|command]].<ref name="Stormtrooper" />

In 0 [[Galactic Standard Calendar|BBY]],<ref name="TERC" /> Desert Sands was dispatched to the [[Planet/Legends|planet]] [[Tatooine/Legends|Tatooine]] to search for the fugitive [[Alliance to Restore the Republic/Legends|Alliance to Restore the Republic]] [[Droid/Legends|droids]] [[C-3PO/Legends|C-3PO]] and [[R2-D2/Legends|R2-D2]], who were wanted for carrying the [[Death Star plans/Legends|stolen plans]] for the Empire's [[DS-1 Orbital Battle Station/Legends|first Death Star]] [[battlestation]].<ref name="ANH" /> 1047 was among the Desert Sands [[Trooper/Legends|troopers]] assigned to the unit's [[Zeta Squadron]] detachment, tasked with searching the planet's [[Spaceport/Legends|spaceport]] [[City/Legends|city]] of [[Mos Eisley/Legends|Mos Eisley]] for the droids, serving as the backup to fellow trooper [[Davin Felth/Legends|Davin Felth]].<ref name="Stormtrooper" />

[[File:DavinFelth-Cantina-ANHHD.jpg|thumb|left|300px|1047 (left) searches Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina.]]
At one point, 1047 and Felth were outside Mos Eisley's [[Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina/Legends|Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina]]<ref name="Stormtrooper" /> when one of the [[Cantina/Legends|cantina's]] patrons, [[Garouf Lafoe/Legends|Garouf Lafoe]], approached to inform them of a fight that had occurred within the cantina.<ref name="ANH" /> Felth used his [[Comlink/Legends|comlink]] to inform Terrik that he would investigate the cantina disturbance, and the latter requested that 1047 back up Felth. The pair entered the cantina and left after failing to find anything out of the ordinary,<ref name="Stormtrooper" /> not knowing that two of the occupants, Tatooine locals [[Obi-Wan Kenobi/Legends|Obi-Wan Kenobi]] and [[Luke Skywalker/Legends|Luke Skywalker]], they had seen were in fact trying to sneak the droids off of Tatooine.<ref name="ANH" />

===Conflict in Mos Eisley===
{{Quote|Come on, Ten twenty-three! Follow me!|1047 demands for Davin Felth to follow him to Docking Bay 94|<ref name="Stormtrooper" />}}
[[File:Mod_terrik.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Captain Mod Terrik, 1047's commander in Desert Sands]]
Felth and 1047 departed the cantina, and were approached by others in their [[Squadron/Legends|squadron]] marching toward them. Before they knew it, the [[Jawa/Legends|Jawa]] [[Het Nkik/Legends|Het Nkik]] approached them, firing a [[DL-44 heavy blaster pistol/Legends|DL-44 heavy blaster pistol]] multiple times at the troopers with no effect. Upon Nkik's unsuccessful attack, 1047 casually [[Death/Legends|killed]] the Jawa with a single shot.<ref name="Stormtrooper" />

1047 and Felth joined Zeta Squadron in their subsequent march, when Terrik alerted them that the droids were spotted trying to escape in [[Docking Bay 94/Legends|Docking Bay 94]], and requested all units to assist. 1047 and Felth ran to the [[Hangar/Legends|docking bay]], where they spotted<ref name="Stormtrooper" /> [[Smuggler/Legends|smuggler]] [[Han Solo/Legends|Han Solo]] defending his [[Starship/Legends|starship]], the [[YT-1300 light freighter/Legends|YT-1300 light freighter]] [[Millennium Falcon/Legends|''Millennium Falcon'']], from other Desert Sands stormtroopers.<ref name="ANH" /> Terrik was killed in the resulting [[lightfight]],<ref name="Stormtrooper" /> and the ''Millennium Falcon'' departed the docking bay with the fugitive droids.<ref name="ANH" /> The stormtroopers retreated after the freighter's escape<ref name="Characters">''[[The Essential Guide to Characters]]''</ref> to avoid being irradiated by exhaust from the ''Millennium Falcon''. Already demoralized, the troopers' morale was only further reduced by the discovery of Terrik's death.<ref name="Stormtrooper" />

==Personality and traits==
{{Quote|One less Jawa slime to bother us.|1047, after killing Het Nkik|<ref name="Stormtrooper" />}}
[[File:Het-nkik.png|thumb|left|150px|1047 killed Het Nkik (pictured), even when the Jawa posed no threat.]]
1047 was hesitant to investigate the disturbance at Chalmun's Cantina, believing it would detract from their search for R2-D2 and C-3PO, and directly stating that droids were not served by places like the cantina and that Zeta Squadron was needed elsewhere. He muttered that Het Nkik was a "crazy Jawa," and had no hesitation to kill the Jawa even when the latter was harmless, viewing Nkik's death as just one less Jawa slime.<ref name="Stormtrooper" />

==Equipment==
As with all members of Desert Sands, 1047 was equipped with the standard modified [[Stormtrooper armor/Legends|stormtrooper armor]] issued to sandtroopers. He also carried a long-range comlink, a [[Blaster pistol/Legends|blaster pistol]], a heavy [[Blaster rifle/Legends|blaster rifle]], and a [[Foodstuff/Legends|food]]/[[Water/Legends|water]] [[Backpack/Legends|pack]].<ref name="GG">''[[Galaxy Guide 1: A New Hope]]''</ref> 1047 had a [[Color/Legends|white]] [[Limb/Legends|shoulder]] [[Pauldron/Legends|pauldron]], and was individually armed with a [[T-21 light repeating blaster/Legends|T-21 light repeating blaster]].<ref name="ANH" />
