Story

Creation

While investigating the assassination attempt on Padmé Amidala, Obi-Wan Kenobi arrives on the planet Kamino, where he learns that a clone army is being prepared for the Republic. The inhabitants of the planet inform him that a Jedi named Sifo Diaz placed the order for the creation of the army ten years ago. The model for creating the clones was the bounty hunter Jango Fett, who agreed to provide his DNA and train the clones for a large reward and the creation of a personal clone, Boba Fett, whom he raised as a son. Growth-promoting drugs make ten-year-old clones look like adult males. The clone makers claim that the clones have free will, but are also "programmed" to serve the Republic much more effectively than droids.

First battle

Later, Obi-Wan learns that the Separatists have created a massive droid army on Geonosis. While the bureaucracy of the Republic Senate decides on the matter, Obi-Wan, Amidala and Anakin Skywalker are captured by Count Dooku and Nute Gunray on Geonosis. Master Mace Windu rushes to their aid with 212 Jedi. Meanwhile, Jar Jar Binks, a senator from the planet Naboo, persuades the Senate to give Chancellor Palpatine special powers so that he can send his newly created clone army into battle. With the Jedi nearly wiped out on Geonosis, ships arrive with a clone army led by Master Yoda. The clones inflict a crushing defeat on the Separatist droids. Yoda, looking at the columns of marching clones, says "the Clone Wars are coming ..."

clone wars

During the five-year Clone Wars, clone troopers fought under the leadership of the Jedi. The military superiority of the clones allowed them to triumph over the mass production of droids. Clones participated in all battles

Order 66

According to secret plan Darth Sidious (aka Chancellor Palpatine), the clones, after receiving the "order 66" hidden in their program, attacked the Jedi leading them. Due to the suddenness of the attack, most of the Jedi were killed. Also, a group of clones of the 501st Legion, led by the newly converted Darth Vader, cleared the Jedi Temple, killing all the younglings - small children of the Jedi. In the animated series Star Wars of the Clone Wars, it is shown that each clone had a chip implanted in the brain that did not allow it to consciously override the order, however, some clones (KT-7567 - Captain Rex, Anakin Skywalker's comrade-in-arms) were able to cut it out, remaining loyal to the Jedi.

In the animated series Star Wars Rebels (season 2, episode 2), the main characters meet an old clone of Rex, who says that after the execution of "order 66", all the clones were dismissed as having fulfilled their mission.

In the service of the Empire

After the transformation of the Galactic Republic and Confederation Independent Systems into a single Galactic Empire, Emperor Palpatine reformed the clone organization, transforming them into Imperial stormtroopers, which became a symbol of the power of the Empire.

A little later, the rebellion began on Kamino. In the early years of the Empire, the planet Kamino was under the watchful eye of Emperor Palpatine to ensure a reliable supply of new batches of clones. However, a small group of Kaminoans started a kind of plot against the Empire, which involved soldiers specially created to fight the Empire. The Kaminoans began to create clones of their own, which mainly consisted of clone jet troopers and elite commandos, as well as ground-class ARCs. As a result, the brothers went against each other. The operation against the clones was led by Boba Fett, who knew the structure of Tipoki City well. The 501st Legion was assigned to deal with the elite warriors of the enemy. At the head of the stormtroopers was Boba Fett, hired as a specialist in the internal organization of the city of Tipoki City.

The troops landed in the city on a Sentinel-class landing craft. Boba Fett blew the lock mechanism, allowing him to successfully enter the building where the cloning operations were taking place. Inside, Fett took several canisters of clone DNA. Meanwhile, his fellow Imperial soldiers fought in the rain against countless squads of anti-soldiers. Neither side could prevail in battle.

After obtaining the canisters, Fett destroyed the clones' life support systems, and thanks to this, the cloning operations were disabled and no new clones appeared on the battlefield.

With the cloning done, Fett hurried to help the stormtroopers fend off the anti-soldiers. Together with them, he began to push them back and eventually drove them onto the platform, where he dealt with them.

After the destruction of the traitor clones, Fett began to deal with the Kaminoans, who had betrayed the Empire and were trying to flee. To do this, they activated two SNDKs, on which they planned to fly. However, this was stopped by the Imperial shock troopers, who fired missiles at the ships. Ground turrets also fired laser shots at the ships. The ships were eventually destroyed along with the clone master Kaminoans.

The remaining Kaminoans who survived the battle were brought under Imperial control and banned from any attempt to start a new cloning operation.

Specialized clones

  • clone trooper- An ordinary clone trooper. The main military unit of the Republic. They were the first clones. They were used to destroy large groups of droids. In total, more than 3 million units were created with a total number of several billion clones. The clones were originally equipped with Phase I armor, but it was designed for combat on planets such as Geonosis. 2 years after the start of the Clone Wars, Phase II armor was created. It was more massive, reflected blaster rounds better, and was also improved respiratory system, communication equipment built into the helmet.
  • Clone-ARC- Elite Commando Scouts were high-ranking soldiers usually leading various corps in the Republic Army during the Clone Wars. Also, officers were roughly equivalent in rank to major general or lieutenant general. Like all clones, the officers are unable to express emotions, for fear and hatred would interfere with their ability to analyze combat operations.
  • clone commando- When all types of clones were created, Jango Fett persuaded the Kaminoneans to create elite squads. The best soldiers of the Republic. Commandos were intended only for special operations. They have expanded free will, unlike other clones.

Clone armor

The clone trooper armor is based on Jango Fett's Mandalorian armor. The developers were inspired by the idea to create a wear-resistant shell that completely covers the Clone's body and maintains absolute security, although many clones died from one shot at them, which indicates a flaw in the armor. A black body suit under the armor protects the fighter from poisonous fumes and even from the vacuum of space. A helmet with a characteristic T-shaped visor was supplemented with a breathing filter to work in less than ideal combat conditions. The armor consists of 20 skin-tight plates made of lightweight plastoid composite alloys. The armor provides ideal freedom of movement in combat, but presents an inconvenience in driving vehicles. The ideal schematic form clearly demonstrates the Kaminoan influence. The base color of the armor is white, but there were also other colors, for example, during the conflict on Kashyyyk, all the clones were dressed in camouflage. Also, clone commanders and elite clone troopers had color schemes, indicating their rank: olive, blue, red and yellow. Toward the end of the war, clone troopers were allowed to paint their armor, make any hairstyle, tattoos, which gave the soldiers hope that they were people, and not soulless creatures, grown and programmed in flasks.

Davijaan \"Odd Ball\"

Title: Clone Commander
Location: Clone Squadron, Team 7 Davidjan received his callsign Odd Ball during Alpha-17's training program.
During the final months of the Clone Wars, Odd Ball flew a Venator-class Star Destroyer "Interventor" during the Battle of Boz Pity with Anakin Skywalker's help to successfully break the Separatist blockade in orbit around the planet.
Odd Ball was 7th Flight Leader during the Second Battle of Coruscant, where he and his pilots took off from a Star Destroyer Rho-Ti-Mundi to assist Jedi Master Kenobi. Although many of the pilots were killed in deadly fights with the Tri-fighter droids and starfighter droids, Odd Ball's mission was successful, buying enough time for Obi-Wan Kenobi to reach the Invisible Hand.
A few days later, he served again with General Kenobi in the Battle of Utapau. However, the end result was the supposed demise of the Jedi, whom he fought on numerous occasions. His fate after this campaign remains unknown... CC-1004 Gris
Rank: Marshal Commander
Duty Station: 9th Assault Corps Commander Gree CC-1004 was respected by the other races. The clone's automated basic training program provided each soldier with a basic knowledge of the many races that inhabited the Republic. But 1004 was so interested in learning about other races that it caught the attention of the Kaminoans. Usually, such an unhealthy interest would be considered a deviation from the norm of a fighter's behavior. But by the time the unique features of CC-1004 were discovered, the Kaminoans had launched a special training program for unit commanders. A veteran of the ARC unit, Alpha-17 was the head of a special clone training program. Links to Commander Gree's unusual interest in other species, Alpha created individual program learning for him. CC-1004 received his name Gree for his greed for knowledge. Knowledge of the races of 1004 was not limited to the library on Kamino. Gree wore special armor that allowed him to blend in better with the vegetation of the jungle. CC-1119 \"Appo\"
Duty Station: Vader's 501st Legion "I'm starting to get used to Commander Appo to some extent" Lord Darth Vader Commander CC-1119 Appo was the commander who led and fought with the 501st Legion throughout the Clone War. The glory of SS-1119 falls on the last days of the war and the first days of the formation of the Empire.
When the 501st arrived on Coruscant along with Commander Tyr's Shock Troopers, Appo began to get used to living outside the war and differentiating the citizens he was sworn to protect.
At that time, the number of fronts was growing in the protracted war. Appo has seen his clone brethren travel to the far reaches of the galaxy, helping to lead sieges in the Outer Reaches.
In the final weeks of the Clone War, when General Grievous's forces launched a surprise attack on Coruscant, Commanders Appo and Tyr were busy defending the capital, preventing Grievous' droids from taking the most important Senate District.
A few days later, the 501st, under the command of Appo, received orders to proceed to the Jedi Temple and assist Lord Vader. The order spoke of the suppression of the "Jedi rebellion". Appo's soldiers performed brilliantly, wiping out every Jedi in the Temple within one hour. During the attack, Senator Bail Organa unsuccessfully attempted to enter the closed Temple, noticing that they emitted a fire in the Temple. The order given to Commander Appo clearly stated that no one was to enter or leave the Temple. As soon as Organa returned to his vehicle, Jedi Padawan Zeth Jucasta attacked the patrol. Seriously wounded, Appo and several fighters began to shoot, and only Sergeant Fox was able to stop the Padawan. Appo, after spending several weeks in Bakta's cell, returned to his 501st Legion.
The 501st Legion, under the command of Darth Vader, carried out the task of establishing the Imperial New Order. The enemies of the Empire have nicknamed the 501st "Vader's First Legion". One of CC-1119's first missions after the assault on the Jedi Temple was to provide support to Lord Vader by taking out a group of clone commandos who had failed to comply with "Order 66".
Shortly thereafter, Appo died on the planet Kashyyyk when the 501st landed on the planet in search of Jedi Master Roan Shrine, who was hiding there.
After the death of Commander Appo, Commander Bow took command of the 501st Legion "Bow"
Duty Location: Vader's 501st Legion Commander Bowe officer in command of Darth Vader's 501st Legion after Commander Appo's death on Kashyyyk.
Bowe and his platoon rescued Lord Vader when the Dark Lord misjudged a group of renegade Jedi on Kessel, who lured him into a trap by creating false information that Obi-Wan Kenobi would be among them. Although Vader personally destroyed five of the eight Jedi. The soldiers inflicted tangible damage on the apostates, shifting the attention of the remaining Jedi from the wounded Lord to themselves. It is assumed that Commander Bowe continued to serve in the 501st guarding the New Order. \"Keller\"
Title: Clone Commander
Duty Station: Special Snow Assault Clone Division During the initial stages of the sieges in the Outer Reach, General Hudorra and Commander Keller were sent to the cold planet of Tuula to fight against the Separatist invading forces in the area. When Keller received "Order 66" personally from Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, Keller moved his soldiers against his Jedi commander. But when Kai Hudorra and young Padawan Noira Na were able to elude the clone troopers and infiltrate Ithaqua Station, Clone Commander made finding the fugitives his top priority. KK-7567 Rex
CC-7567 "Rex" is a clone captain in the Grand Army of the Republic. During the Clone Wars, Rex commanded Torrent Company of the 501st Legion. Anakin Skywalker's second-in-command, Captain Rex was the perfect image of a clone officer. A freethinker, Rex took the liberty of expressing opinions about officers (particularly Jedi commanders) of higher rank. Rex's Phase I armor was lacquered with the signature 501st Legion paint. As an addition to the armor, Rex wore a kama, a pauldron, the so-called. \"eye Jaig\" and a rocket pack (if necessary). Rex's weapon of choice was the DS-17 blaster pistol, although he also used standard blaster rifles. CC-4477 \"Tira\"
Rank: Commander clone (clone commander)
Duty Station: Elite shock troopers of Coruscant Unlike the other units that went through, there were two exceptions to the Kamino training course, the Shock Troopers marked in red and the 501st Legion marked in blue. Well-guarded and secretive training rooms served as their training base. The Galactic Republic had to use considerable force to move several scientists from Kamino along with the cloning equipment to Coruscant. Commander Tyr led Supreme Chancellor Palpatine's Shocktroopers during the Clone Wars. As the war intensified, the soldiers of Tyr were given the job of defending the capital, the planet Coruscant.
Together with Republic Intelligence Chief Armand Isard, they founded the Office of State Security to centralize and simplify Coruscant's defense against enemy invasion. Part of Tyr has always felt that the Republic will never be able to create a solid defense for the planet. Later during the Clone Wars, they patrolled the streets of the city, and the citizens of Coruscant knew that on orders from any of the clone troopers marked in red, they were to make an identification.
Tyr's worst nightmares came true when General Grievous launched an offensive against the capital in the early hours of the morning. The soldiers of Tyr, linking up with Commander Appo's 501st Legion, did their best to counter the Confederate forces and prevent them from entering the Senate District. While they fought the city battle with the droids, they were powerless to stop General Grievous' kidnapping of the Supreme Chancellor.
The implementation of "Order 66" by the 501st Legion to clear the Jedi Temple led to the end of the Clone Wars. After an epic battle between Emperor Palpatine and Master Yoda, the Emperor ordered Tyr and his men to search every corner of the Senate for the tiny Jedi.
As the Republic became the Empire, the troops of Tyr changed their status to the fearsome Guard of Coruscant. CC-2224 \"Cody\"
Rank: Marshal Commander
Location: 7th Airborne Corps Commander Cody was the leader of the 7th Airborne Corps, but most often he personally led the 222nd Assault Battalion into battle. He was a competent and loyal officer.
Initially just one of millions of clones created for the Grand Army of the Old Republic, SS-2224 subsequently showed a talent for independent thinking that could not attract the attention of the Kaminoans. As a result, he began to advance in rank and exalted among his other brethren.
As commander of an entire corps, Cody was to be accompanied in his battles by a Jedi General. It is worth noting that the commander was pleased to learn that the famous Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi would be his commander. However, during the Battle of Geonosis, SS-2224 was forced to lead his men alone as Kenobi was busy pursuing Count Dooku.
After several months of service in the Clone Wars, SS-2224 was commissioned into an experimental regiment led by the ARC clone Alpha-17. The purpose of this regiment was to increase the independence and commanding qualities of senior clone officers.
CC-2224 took on the name Cody and began to improve his armor in the image and likeness of the ARC clones. As a result of this, he got a small jetpack,
an additional communication antenna, a visor, a pair of antennas on the helmet, oversized shoulder pads and a small tool in an armband on the right forearm.
From a handful of officers trained by Alpha-17, a special unit was formed - the Seventh Team. Here were the best, the best, whose task it was to accompany the Jedi on their missions. Cody and fellow pilot Odd Bull were placed in command. Their second-in-command, Major Jorir, stood in for them when they were away. CC-5052 \"Bly\"
Rank: Marshal Commander
Duty Station: 327th Star Corps "We rest only when our mission is done, Our last mission is not yet done" - SS-5052
5052 was created on Kamino. Like all clone troopers, Bly looked like Jango Fett. A clone of the second generation of commanders, Bly was trained by Alpha-17, who also gave him his designation.
Six months after the Battle of Geonosis, Bly fought in the Battle of New Holstis while the Jedi General coordinated the battle from orbit, 5052 successfully led his men in a ground battle against a group of Mandalorians. The losses of his troops amounted to forty percent, but caused a complete retreat of the Mandalorians. End of the Clone Wars: \" Commander Bly, what will you do when this war is over? \"
\"Whatever I'm told, of course\" - Ayla Secura and CC-5052
after the Saleukami, Bly and Secura were ordered to infiltrate the Confederate base on Felucia and capture Shu Mei, the Gossam leader of the Commerce Guild. The entire armed Star Corps was transported to Felucia aboard the Dauntless-class Venator Star Destroyer.
Secura and Bligh improved their friendship, and openly discussed the virtues of independence and coherence. Bligh questioned the need for such a large number of troops to capture just one man. He further protested to Secura when she learned that the capital was under attack and ordered her to quickly turn around and go to the defense of Coruscant, thus showing her independence. The clone commander insisted that while they considered Shu Mei a pawn and an attack on Coruscant a diversion, the mission was their primary goal. Upon their arrival on Felucia, with the help of Padawan Ekria, they freed Barriss Offee and Zonder, two Jedi captured from the Nigoya Prison Facility.
When the team reached Shu Mei's suspected location, they discovered that the Separatists had fled days before their arrival. Their main mission failed, Bligh ordered his entire Legion to engage the Confederate Army on Felucia.
While on patrol through the fungal jungle of Felucia, Commander Bly received "Order 66" from Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. Despite his growing independence and friendship with his commander, Bligh was unable to disobey orders and shot General Secura in the back. The rest of his squad then proceeded to shoot at her corpse. In Imperial Service: \" You have unfinished missions on your record, Commander. […] Would you like to reduce their number by one, soldier?\" — Darth Vader to CC-5052.
Bly remained in the service of the newly formed Galactic Empire, and during its early years, was sent to Yatisk with Star Corps member Lieutenant Gail. During the dispersal of the anti-Imperial gathering, Bly and Gail received an order from Darth Vader, he asked them to look for the survivors of Felucia. Bly set to work on the order, knowing that success would guarantee the reduction of one of the missed missions on his list. CT-55/11-9009 Jag
Rank: Clone Commander His name was probably taken from the screaming hawk, which is Jai'galar in Mandalorian.
In the Battle of Geonosis, Commander Jag was the commander of the 127th Assault Ship Flight.
However, Jag was later disgraced and demoted to captain after a tragic retreat at the end of the Battle of Kathrase. Luckily for Jai'galar, he was picked up by Jedi General Plo Koon, who installed Captain Jag as test pilot for the new ARC-170 starfighter.
When Captain Jag received "Order 66" from the Supreme Chancellor, he opened fire on General Plo Koon's Delta-7 starfighter in his ARC-170 starfighter near Kato Neimoidia during the Second Battle of Kato Neimoidia, despite his feelings for the Jedi. . Ponds
“The droids have started bombing. Several villages in our sector have been destroyed, sir." — Commander Ponds to Mace Windu
After the leader of the TechnoUnion and representative of the Separatist council, Wat Tambor, invaded the planet Ryloth and enslaved the Twi'leks; Jedi General Mace Windu and Commander Ponds led the operation to liberate the planet. As the Acclamator-class assault craft approached the city of Nabat, the droids' surface-mounted proton cannons opened fire on them. Ponds informed Windu that the guns were penetrating their ships' shields. Windu sent the Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi to destroy the guns so the transports could land near the city. After that, the ships left the affected area to avoid further damage. The Kenobi Squad completed their mission, and the transports were finally able to land. Ground troops advanced towards the capital city of Lessu.
A column of AT-TE tanks, led by Windu and Ponds, was ambushed on a narrow mountain road. The Republic troops were trapped as the droid tanks knocked out the first walker. Windu and Ponds led the attack with several AT-RTs. Although their offensive was successful, this ambush was costly in casualties. The Republicans needed additional forces to successfully complete the operation. CT-65/91-6210 \"Davis\"
Title: Clone Commander
Location: K Battalion Like all first-generation clone soldiers, Davis' life began on Kamino.
Initially, he was created as a regular clone soldier and was sent to war in one of the clone groups.
During the Battle of Geonosis, Davis's battalion was covered in fire from a column of deadly OG-9 spider droids. Davis risked his life when he stayed behind to cover the wounded as the rest of his unit retreated. For three hellish hours, Davis single-handedly protected his wounded soldiers in a small artillery crater. It wasn't until the evacuation team arrived that Davis received his medal for valor with them, as well as further orders for the new Hero of the Republic.
During the Battle of Altir V, Davis' Jedi General was killed by enemy fire, leaving Davis to piece together the assault units. Not only did Davis cope, so he went with a fluttering banner to the enemy. Combining the remaining soldiers for victory, they destroyed the enemy ion cannon.
Seeing Davis' initiative and courage, Commander Bligh placed him in charge of one of his legions. Davis was also allowed to wear a special pauldron and kama.
During the sieges in the Outer Reach, Davis was under the command of the Jedi Nem Bees and was sent to dig out the Separatists from the planet Ortho. A week later, Davis received "Order 66" via an encrypted channel from Chancellor Palpatine himself. According to the order, all the Jedi were declared enemies and were subject to destruction, including the Jedi Bees, CT-65 personally shot him, after which he went on to prepare the battle. CC-8826 \"Neo\"
Neyo was marked with red markings on his armor and an ARC team belt on his chest armor. His helmet was the same as that of the Assassin clones.
Neyo was created on Kamino like his brothers and became one of the specialists trained in the clone commander training program, created by the ARC clone Alpha-17. His individualistic traits, encouraged by extraordinary teaching methods Alphas, appeared gloomy
almost painful.
Over time, his personality developed, and he became cold and laconic, even for a clone trooper. This did not endear him to his brothers, but surprisingly, Neyo maintained a close relationship with the ice-cold Commander Bakara, who trained with him in reconnaissance tactics, as well as training together in the proper use of BARC speeders.
Neyo was sent under the command of Oppo Rensis and worked on the same side with commanders Fae and Blai in the Siege of Saleucami.
After an operation that lasted five months, Neyo remained on the planet with his reconnaissance teams to patrol the area in case any remnants of Separatist forces or Morgukai warriors were discovered. While patrolling the Saleuk plains with Jedi General Stassa Ollie, Neyo received "Order 66" from Emperor Palpatine. He and his speeder soldiers opened fire on the Jedi, and Ollie's speeder exploded, engulfing her in flames.
Neyo's further fate is unknown... CC-1138 "Bakara"
Rank: Marshal Commander
Duty Station: 21 New Corps From an early age, this clone showed a penchant for aggressive tactics, which caused both satisfaction and fear of its creators. Upon reaching active age, SS-1138 was given command of the 21st New Corps, which was part of the Outer Sector Army. To his great regret, this unit did not take part in the Battle of Geonosis.
After months of fighting and fighting, SS-1138 was withdrawn from the front and put into a special program led by the Alpha-17 ARC clone. The task was simple - to unleash the abilities of the independent commander and tactical genius inherent in each of the clones. As SS-1138 progressed through the program, he, like many of his colleagues, took the name Bakar. After completing his participation in the program, Bakara received additional education from one of the trainers of the Mandalorian Kort Davin, who arrived to train the clone army being created. Perhaps that's why SS-1138 adopted some good, but not the most outstanding, Mandalorian tactics, which brought him closer to his genetic father, Jango Fett, and at the same time alienated him from his other brothers. Although Bakara still had a friend, Commander Neyo, cold as ice.
After completing his training, Bakara returned to his corps, and his independence quickly spread among the top commanders of the New Corps. As the war progressed, Jedi General Ki-Adi-Mundi was sent to him. Together, they transformed the 21st into the Galactic Marines into an elite, fast-response task force capable of instant deployment and combat operations in any corner of the galaxy. Soldiers were trained in combat in outer space and on the ground at zero temperatures. Corpsmen were among the first to test equipment and combat gear in the field.
During the Battle of New Bornales, the Galactic Marines used prototype battlesuits, when the suits' combat systems failed, the soldiers used the suits' mechanical musculature to do hand-to-hand combat with the droids, they stabbed the suits' manipulators and ripped the droids apart.
These events were well documented and contributed to the fierce reputation of the Galactic Marines, and it was a story that Commander Bakara was especially fond of savoring.
The Marines fought on hundreds of worlds, from the muddy fields of Boz Pitya and Aergonar to the snowy peaks of Rhen Var and Midjeto.
After months of side-by-side fighting, Bakara and Ki-Adi-Mundi developed a sense of discreet respect for each other.
When they were sent to Midgeto, the Marines were joined by a small special squad of the 501st Legion. Ki-Adi-Mundi received them with disbelief, for this unit was outside his competence. Although the clones of the 501st said their mission was to destroy a military factory on the planet, their real mission was the top-secret Operation Hammertong (the code name for the operation, which targeted the unique Migeth crystal, which later came in handy in the creation of the ZS-1 superlaser). Bakara managed to convince the Jedi that the men of the 501st were only there to help them in the battle.
The situation in the battle was difficult, but in the midst of the battle, Bakara received "Order 66" through an encrypted channel personally from Chancellor Palpatine himself. Under "Order 66" all Jedi, including Ki-Adi-Mundi, were declared enemies of the Republic. The clones could not fail to fulfill the order - it was built into them when they were created. When Ki-Adi-Mundi attacked, determined to lead the soldiers behind him, Bakara and his soldiers shot him from behind. Fae
Title: Clone Commander
Duty station: Grand Army of the Republic "You know I don't like clones - Faye even less" - Quinlan Vos
Commander Fae was created and trained on the planet Kamino. He was among the first hundred clones to be selected by Alpha-17 for his training program, according to observations, Fae often had disagreements with his Jedi masters.
As the Clone War reached its finale, Fae was chosen to command one of the three elite battalions, the other two being commanded by Commanders Neyo and Bly. They were gathered for the Battle of Saleukami, where Separatist forces had built a base to clone Magrukai warriors. The Republic's main forces were led by Generals Oppo Ranxis and Quinlan Vos. As the battle against Margukai raged on, large Republic warships blew the cloning factory into dust from orbit. Their victory at the Battle of Saleucami was marred by the death of General Ranxis at the hands of the Dark Jedi Sora Bulk.
Following their success on Saleukami, Commander Faye was placed under the command of the Jedi Quinlan Vos, and they were sent to Kashyyyk as elite units under the command of Jedi Master Yoda, and Marshal Commander of the 41st Elite Legion, Gree.
When the Separatist forces advanced on the city of Kashiro, Fae, Gree, and the Jedi were already waiting for them to appear. As the battle for the city reached its climax, Commanders Grii and Fae received "Order 66".
Acting without hesitation, Fae and his men moved against the Jedi Luminara Anduli and Quinlan Vos before they knew what was happening. However, it took a similar turn for Commander Gree as he was beheaded when he tried to kill Master Yoda. With Grea's death, the heavy burden of organizing defenses on Kashyyyk, as well as tracking down the surviving Jedi, fell on Commander Faye.
The search for the fugitive Vos, who miraculously managed to survive, led Faye and his fighters from the Bugei squad deep into the jungle of Kashyyyk, where he met his fate at the end of Quinlan Vos's laser sword. Private Switch
Private Switch. Switch, he is \"soft-bodied\" amazed his fellows with knowledge in technology. And he became attached to Cody after the battle on Yuma-9. He uses courage and anger in combat. His favorite phrase: \"here you have to be friends with the technique, sir\". Commander Fox
Commander Fox. Fox and Ponds are like two peas in a pod because they are brothers. Fox is a great fighter and always serves different senators. He rarely meets Ponds and therefore we almost never see them together. \"salaga\"
\"Rookie \". On the first task, he was poorly orientated. But then he understood everything. 3 rules helped him gain respect among the clones and even from the sergeant. After the 1st task, he became attached to Sergeant Kano. And then followed him all the time . Sergeant Boomer
Sergeant Boomer. Boomer gets along with Captain Rex and is devoted to him. He has a sense of humor and loves sabotage. He leads a squad that fights most often in the jungle. Boomer loves mass defeat tactics. Sergeant Kano
The sergeant is already a seasoned soldier and very loyal to General Kit Fisto. On the 69th mission, he got a detachment of "handsome men" who had just entered the battle. He likes to go ahead and this tactic has always surprised his general. Ordo Skirata
\"Save pity for the soldiers. Nobody is using us. And a clear vision of the goal is strength.\"
Ordo Skirata Bardan Juisik Zero-11, also known as the Ordo Skirata, was an elite reconnaissance commando of the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars, the conflict between the Galactic Republic and the Confederation of Independent Systems. Ordo was one of the surviving elite Zero-class Recon Commandos, a clone of Jango Fett, a Mandalorian bounty hunter known for his reputation as the best in the galaxy. He and his brethren were rejected by the Kaminoans and subject to destruction due to their unpredictability and disobedience to orders. But they were rescued by a Mandalorian instructor, Sergeant Kal Skirata, hired by Jango Fett. Skirata intervened and rescued the baby Nulls, and later began training them himself, teaching them Mandalorian traditions and culture. Skirata named the boy Ordo, after the famous Mandalore, Canderus Ordo. During the Clone Wars, Ordo took part in many successful operations against the Separatists. During one of his missions, he met and later married Besany Wennen, an employee of the Republic Treasury Department who works undercover at the GAR Logistics Center. Throughout their duty, Ordo and his brothers secretly searched for a way to stop the accelerated growth process. They secretly stole all the data from all known cloning organizations and companies, even Ko Sai and Ovolot Quile Utan in order to understand the data and find a cure. After Supreme Chancellor Palpatine issued Order 66, the order to kill all Jedi, Ordo defected from the GAR and fled to Mandalore with his family. Zero-11, better known as Ordo, was one of the first clones created by the Kaminoans as a prototype for the Grand Army of the Republic. Ordo and his brothers were clones of the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett, considered the best in the galaxy. Of the twelve clones, only six survived the incubation period. They went through basic training and physical simulators, and showed a high level. But psychological test claimed they were uncontrollable and unpredictable for combat, leading the Kaminoan Quality Control to classify them as Zero. When they were nearly two years old, the clones were introduced by Kaminoan scientist Orun Wa to Fett and Kal Skirata, one of Fett's hired Mandalorians, to train clone commandos. Django and Cal were informed by Orun Wa of the "rejection" of the Nulls, to which Cal expressed his displeasure at the murder of children and began to demand that the Nulls be given to him for training. During the argument, Ordo's brother Merel pulled a small blaster from Cal's boot and tossed it to Ordo. Grabbing his blaster, Ordo aimed it at Orun Va, but didn't fire. Skirata managed to convince Ordo to hand over the blaster, and Fett negotiated with the Kaminoan about Skirata's "adoption" of Nulls. Later, Skirata personally began to train children. Under Cal's orders, the Nulls were isolated from the other clones for the duration of their training. The clones only saw Nulls around the city of Tipoca when they were stealing equipment or sabotaging systems. Darman, a member of the Omega Squad, remembered that the Nulls were examining every inch of Tipoca City's interior. On occasion, Jango Fett's unmodified clone, Boba Fett, would get mad at the Nulls and say that his father would beat Cal whenever he wanted. But Ordo took action, dipping Boba's head in the toilet. \"Ord'ika! Ordo? Cranky again, huh? Go here…\"
?Kal Skirata tries to appease Ordo and the Nulls After ten years of training on Kamino, Ordo and the Nulls were deployed as Elite Uncommandos in the Battle of Geonosis. This battle was the beginning of the main conflict between the Confederacy of Independent Systems and the Galactic Republic - known as the Clone Wars. After the battle, since no one could control the Nulls, they were sentenced to be frozen in stasis chambers. The Nulls feared freezing, similar to the Alpha-class ARCs that were frozen prior to the Battle of Kamino. They expressed their dissatisfaction by closing themselves in the barracks of the headquarters of the special forces of the SO brigade, thus starting an armed siege. Despite the fact that there were six of them, they were able to hold off special forces units and CSF (Coruscant Security Force) forces. General Iri Kamas refused to destroy all the barracks in order to neutralize the six Nulls. In return, he sent Cal to reassure his "children". Cal agreed, but with some conditions. First, he asked to be returned to the GAR, and also made Kamas promise that no disciplinary action would be taken against the Nulls. Prudii Skirata
SPOILER WARNING (for those who haven't read the Republican Commando series yet) Prudii Skirata, formerly known as Zero-5 or N-5, was one of six elite Zero-class recon commandos created to serve as a lieutenant in the Grand Army of the Republic. Thanks to genetic manipulation, Prudias, like his brothers, had stronger muscles, a photographic memory, and according to intelligence, at least a 35% higher level of intelligence than other clones.
When he and his brothers were 2 years old, Kal Skirata saved them from destruction by a Kaminoan scientist. After that, Prudii listened only to Cal Skirata. After the Battle of Geonosis, it was decided to freeze Prudia and his brothers because they did not listen to anyone but Skirata. Cal saved them from being frozen and the Nulls became intelligence agents who served in the Special Operations Brigade under Jedi General Arligan Zey, as well as in Skirata's "personal army", searching for Kaminoan cloning scientist Ko Sai to stop the aging process. Prudii specialized in sabotaging droid factories. After becoming an intelligence agent, he spent the first year of the war on missions to sabotage major droid factories across the galaxy. Prudias visited 49 different planets and possibly interrogated and killed the Separatists' top metallurgists, giving him answers to vital questions about the droids' metallurgical structures. Instead of blowing up factories, Prudia developed his own method, which could not be detected by secessionist quality control. Mereel called this method "Prudia's patented elimination method". Prudii wore specialized ARC armor with a stealth coating that droids could not detect, making it easy to sneak into the factory undetected. He opened the main computer and slightly changed the composition of the alloy, adding 5% carvanium to it. On the battlefield, droids would break down when hit by any weapon. His sabotage missions were so successful that the number of clone droids killed on the battlefield rose from 1:20 to 1:50 in the first year of the Clone Wars.
460 days after the Battle of Geonosis, he trained clone commando RK-3222, alias Athin, on Olanet with his sabotage method. Together they infiltrated a droid factory on Olaneta, which was of great strategic value, and hacked into the main computer. Atin later returned to Coruscant and trained Omega Squad in a new method of sabotage while Prudii continued to work. In addition, Prudia later joined his brothers in the search for Ko Sai.
At the end of the Clone Wars, Prudias went to live with Kal Skirata in Kirimoroth on Mandalore.
\"Prudii\" means \"shadow\" in Mando. He is fluent in Mando'a because Kal Skirata taught the language to all Class Zero ARCs, as well as the culture.
Prudii hated being called "sir" or "lieutenant" by the clones because he was a firm believer that all clones were brothers, even the Alpha-class ARCs, which always clashed with the Nulls. Atin got the impression that Prudii was somewhat older than his brothers Ordo and Mereel. jpg||img4|/_pu/1/89228073.jpg||img5|/_pu/1/21626732.jpg||other_3|1299399039||other_7| [email protected]

Briefly about the article: In our reality, cloning is developing quite slowly, but for fantasy worlds, clones are a matter of course. Somewhere they are no different from people, somewhere they are raised, like animals, for slaughter. What's the deal with cloning in Star Wars? Let's try to figure it out together with Dmitry Zlotnitsky.

All as one

Clones in Star Wars

These clones started the war.

Master Yoda

Cloning is a popular topic in science fiction, but most books and films tend to deal with only one of the many facets of this technology. Another thing is the large-scale universe of Star Wars, created by the many years of work of hundreds of writers, artists, filmmakers. What kind of clones can not be found here ...

We first heard about them from the wise Obi-Wan Kenobi back in A New Hope. However, his parsimonious account of the Clone Wars is the only mention of a subject of interest to us in the entire Original Trilogy. For a decade and a half between the release of Episode Six and the beginning of the rapid development of the Expanded Universe, clones and everything connected with them remained the subject of speculation and fierce debate for Star Wars fans. Meanwhile, in our world, cloning has achieved notable success - and in the late nineties, the authors of books and comics on "Star Wars" were already able to rely on scientific research, telling us about clones.

Grand Army

The most famous Star Wars clones, of course, were featured in the prequels. clone army commissioned by Sifo-Dyas, who foresaw war, changed the face of the galaxy forever.

Technopark, more precisely, technopond Camino.

The second episode reveals to us the secret of Camino - the planet where the recognized masters of biotechnology live. Cloning has become an urgent need for them and part of the culture: it was it that allowed the Kaminoans, breaking through the borders natural selection, to adapt to the harsh climatic conditions of their home world. Over time, clone makers have turned their art into a lucrative business. Sifo-Dyas' order was paid for by Count Dooku, who also chose a donor for the clones, although the Kaminoans offered to use the genetic material of the Jedi. The late Mandalore mercenary Jango Fett, who became the prototype for the Republican army, met Dooku before he left the Jedi Order and made a great impression on the Count.

The first fight is the hardest one.

However, being an excellent warrior, Fett would hardly have become a good soldier - he had too much a sense of individualism. Because of this, the first two years of the Kaminoans' work on a grandiose project went down the drain: the first six clones inherited the character of the original and almost did not lend themselves to army training. That is why changes were made to the Jango genotype, which made most of the clones disciplined and selflessly devoted to the Republic. The few clones who escaped this procedure later became officers and fighters of the "special forces".

To speed up the process of building an army, the Kaminoans used technology that allowed clones to mature twice as fast. ordinary people. A stronger acceleration of development threatened the clones with psychological instability and even insanity.

The training of future soldiers was carried out by Jango's former comrades in arms, so some of the clones adopted the habits of the sergeants who trained them and even joined the culture of the Mandalorians. Thus, contrary to popular belief, the Jango clones were not biological killing machines, but real people, albeit with a crippled learning and accelerated maturation life. Even the execution of the fateful "Order 66" was not dictated by the program laid down in the genetic code, but solely by loyalty to the Supreme Commander. Moreover, some of the clones considered this order a possible ploy by the enemy and allowed their Jedi commanders to escape. Another example of defiance is impressive: a clone named Spar, obsessed with the idea of ​​\u200b\u200brecreating a clan of militant Mandalorians, defected to the side of the Confederacy.

Each of the clones had not only a personal number by which officers knew them, but also a name known to their brethren. Although to an outside observer there is no difference between the clones, they themselves easily distinguished each other. Over time, this ability was mastered by many Jedi, who learned to see their subordinates as people. The fighters paid their commanders with reciprocal affection: just remember the clones of Cody and Bligh, who were friends with their generals Obi-Wan and Aela Secura. And at least two soldiers of the Republican army learned what love is, and even left offspring.

After the end of the war, the army became one of the main pillars of the Empire. One of the first victims of the clones was the Kaminoans, who were trying to create another batch soldier to fight Palpatine's tyranny. Accelerated in development, the clones quickly grew old and gradually gave way to white armor to stormtroopers recruited from ordinary people. However, some copies of Jango Fett lived for quite a long time: already during the time of the Rebellion, a young Luke Skywalker encountered an aged clone on an uninhabited planet.

The Clone Grand Army is the least moral variant of cloning, an example of how living and thinking beings can be turned into tools of war. Moreover, some clones went to "spare parts" for their comrades-in-arms - after all, their organs had perfect genetic compatibility.

The Grand Army of the Republic was divided into two parts: regular and special units. At the head of the regular army, numbering up to three million clones, was the Supreme Chancellor. His orders took precedence over the orders of the Jedi, who were in charge "in the field." Knights of the Order led combat units - ranging from armies star systems and ending with shelves. And the smallest unit of the Grand Army was a detachment of eight regular clones and a sergeant.

The special units led by Master Zey were much smaller. Only a few thousand clones were engaged in such responsible matters as intelligence, counterintelligence and the fight against terrorism. These "special purpose" clones were the most independent of their superiors, and sometimes even acted autonomously.

Already from the films it is clear that the uniforms of the clones were not the same. The design of the armor was highly dependent on the type of troops and the conditions of the planet on which the unit had to fight. And the coloring of the armor not only and not so much served for disguise, but rather indicated the title of the clone.

A cynic from the high road

Only one clone of Jango escaped any genetic changes and got a chance to live a full life. Boba Fett was, though accurate, without the slightest change, but still a copy of Jango, but the latter treated him like a son.

Despite the identical initial data, Boba grew up not just a copy of the "father", but a full-fledged original personality. Although the formation of both Fetts was determined by the same qualities, apparently laid down by Mother Nature: perseverance, individualism and predatory instincts. Both lost their parents early, but if Jango immediately found himself surrounded by mandalorians and grew up among faithful brothers in arms, always ready to support, then the orphaned Boba found himself face to face with the entire criminal world of the galaxy. If you multiply this by a vendetta directed against the Jedi, then it becomes clear what fate awaited the young Fett. By the end of the Clone Wars, when he was thirteen, the age of majority for the Mandalorians, Boba had already become a professional bounty hunter with more than one kill to his credit.

And at work.

Over the following years, his reputation grew and his accomplishments increased, and even falling into the maw of the sarlacc did not put an end to his brilliant career. Against all odds, he got out of the womb of a terrible creature, survived and was able to return to his "work". Subsequently, the paths of Boba, Han Solo and the Jedi intersected more than once, and the case usually ended in mutual gunfights. However, during the war with the Yuuzhan Vong, the famous bounty hunter saved the captain " Millennium Falcon" a life. But his adventures didn't end there...

Boba Fett is a perfect example of the fact that the genes laid down in a clone at creation can only serve as start-up capital, and the formation of his personality depends to a large extent on upbringing and living conditions. But can't clones be the key to eternal life even in a distant galaxy? They can - but it requires more than biotechnology.

Vader's Fist

The 501st Legion is a legendary fighting unit that rose to prominence during the Clone Wars. It included clones grown on Coruscant - an elite that was sent to the most responsible tasks. Legion fighters were part of the armies that fought in the most important battles of the Clone Wars.

It was they, led by Anakin Skywalker, who went to the Jedi Temple to destroy all the knights and students. A little later, the Legionnaires rescued Darth Vader from a trap on Bespin and have since been considered the personal guard of the Emperor's new apprentice.

The Legion earned a grim reputation for pacifying uprisings (Wookiees were the first casualties) and destroying the enemies of the Emperor. The level of military training in the unit has always remained at the highest level. Largely due to this, the legionnaires survived the death of Palpatine and civil war. They continued to serve the ideals of the Empire for many years after that, although the legion began to accept not only people, but also representatives of other races.

rebirth

One of the most pressing questions of cloning in our world is this: if Hitler is cloned, will a new, equally bloody dictator appear on Earth? Replace Hitler with Emperor Palpatine- and you get the central theme of the comic trilogy " dark empire”, one of the first works of the Expanded Universe.

Reborn Emperor.

Already from the Senate speech of Palpatine in "Revenge of the Sith" it can be concluded that he created the Empire in the hope of ruling it for more than one hundred years. But how was the elderly Sith, whose health was undermined by the fight with Mace Windu, going to live so long? The authors of the "Dark Empire" answered this question long before the Third episode: Palpatine prepared a whole bunch of his own clones in advance, and when his "current" body wore out, with the help of the Dark Side of the Force, the Sith "moved" into a new, fresh body.

This is how the Emperor came back to life a few years after his death in the reactor of the second Death Star. In an attempt to retake control of the galaxy, he even managed to temporarily drag Luke Skywalker to the Dark Side. In one of the conversations with a new student, Palpatine admitted that even before Endor he happened to die - and be reborn.

Unfortunately for the Emperor, the power of the dark side very quickly turned the cloned bodies into old ruins, and he had to find new containers for his spirit. Therefore, for most of all three volumes of The Dark Empire, the main characters are engaged in the consistent shooting and cutting out of Palpatine's clones. The last of them is tritely shot by Han while trying to move into the body of the newborn son of Solo and Princess Leia.

The emperor was generally a big fan of cloning and used it in a very original way - for example, for punishment. An unenviable fate fell on the evil genius Bevela Lemeliska, author of several Imperial superweapons, including the Death Star. After each failure, an agonizing death awaited the engineer, the "pumping" of the priceless mind into a cloned body - and further research. Lemelisk was finally executed only after he fell into the hands of the New Republic.

The authors of the "Expanded Universe" tried to revive other heroes with the help of cloning - and only negative ones. Outstanding Imperial General Admiral Thrawn prepared a clone to return ten years after death in case of sudden death. But shortly before the appointed time, the Thrawn clone cylinder was destroyed by Luke and Mara Jade. In addition, Thrawn used clones in his troops, reasonably suggesting that they are much easier to control than ordinary soldiers.

Imperial official Ysanne Isard also cloned herself - but was eventually forced to team up with the Rebels to destroy her own recalcitrant copy. Both almost went mad and, fortunately for the entire galaxy, died.

In general, a clone unaware of its origin is a terrible thing. Take, for example, the story of a Jedi. Yorus C'Baoth, during the Old Republic, went on an expedition to other galaxies - and died. However, Palpatine cloned C'Baoth, and the clone sincerely believed that he was the missing Jedi. Yoruus(as the clone pronounced his name) became a member of the Dark Side and joined Admiral Thrawn a few years after the Battle of Endor. He controlled the minds of the Thrawn soldiers (who also included many clones) and even tried to turn Luke, Mara, and Leia to evil. Skywalker, by the way, also got it from biotechnologists: his clone Luyuk, grown from a severed hand in Episode 5, defected to the Dark Side, but was destroyed along with C'Baoth. Curiously, according to the original idea Timothy Zana, the author of the Thrawn books, Yoruus was a clone of Obi-Wan - but this idea did not please the high authorities.

We can say that in a distant galaxy, the art of full-fledged copying of the personality died with Palpatine. All the clones created for the “consciousness transplant” without the intervention of this most powerful adept of the Dark Side of the Force went crazy very quickly and died tragically.

Place in the galaxy

However, there were also relatively peaceful uses for clones in Star Wars. Known race of humanoid natives from the planet Khom, which "frozen" its own development and reproduced exclusively by cloning. Each Khomite performed the same social role that dozens of copies of it. But even in such a society, evolution was able to pave its way: copies of the Khomite named Dorsk, starting with the eighty-first bearer of this name, became susceptible to the Force.

V Lately The creators of Star Wars seem to have given up on the idea of ​​resurrecting a famous hero as a clone. And this is good: the "forgotten" cylinders for cloning have already become a kind of "pianos in the bushes" of a distant galaxy. New writers, and first of all Karen Traviss, demonstrate a new approach to clones. Traviss's novels are dedicated to the combat everyday life of simple, at first glance, faceless clones who have dedicated their lives to protecting the Republic. However, anyone who has read these books - or played a computer game Republic Commando- knows: behind the outer similarity of the clones lies an inner individuality.

But outside of the Clone Wars, these creatures no longer appear. With one exception: we continue to delight with new details about the adventures of Boba Fett. It is likely that cloning will also be affected by the comic book series “ Heritage”, because in it the authors promised to return to many topics from the history of the galaxy. And the clones managed to leave a very noticeable mark on her.

* * *

It is unlikely that there will be another fantastic universe in which such a detail and variety would be revealed. interesting topic cloning. The future will bring us many more interesting stories about the clones - after all, both the new animated series about the Clone Wars and the game show about the events between "Revenge of the Sith" and "A New Hope" are unlikely to be able to do without their participation.

Clones (Star Wars)

fictional story

Creation

While investigating the assassination attempt on Padmé Amidala, Obi-Wan Kenobi arrives on the planet Kamino, where he learns that a clone army is being prepared for the Republic. The inhabitants of the planet inform him that a Jedi named Sifo Diaz placed the order for the creation of the army ten years ago. The model for creating clones was the bounty hunter Jango Fett, who agreed to provide his DNA and train the clones for a large reward and the creation of a personal clone, Boba Fett, whom he raised as a son. Growth-promoting drugs make ten-year-old clones look like adult males. The clone makers claim that the clones have free will, but at the same time are "programmed" to serve the Republic much more effectively than droids.

First battle

Later, Obi-Wan learns that the Separatists have created a massive droid army on Jaonosis. While the bureaucracy of the Republic Senate decides on the matter, Obi-Wan, Amidala, and Anakin Skywalker are captured by Count Dooku and Nute Gunray on Jaonosis. Master Mace Windu rushes to their aid with 212 Jedi. During this time, Jar Jar Binks, a senator from the planet Naboo, persuades the Senate to give Chancellor Palpatine special powers so that he can send his newly created clone army into battle. With the Jedi nearly wiped out on Jaonosis, ships arrive with a clone army led by Master Yoda. The clones inflict a resounding defeat on the Separatist droids. Yoda, looking at the columns of marching clones, says "the Clone Wars are coming ..."

Clone squads marching on the ship

clone wars

During the three-year Clone Wars, clone troopers fought under the leadership of the Jedi. The military superiority of the clones allowed them to triumph over the mass production of droids. Clones participated in all battles

Order 66

According to the secret plan of Darth Sidious (aka Chancellor Palpatine), the clones, after receiving the "order 66" hidden in their program, attacked the Jedi leading them. Due to the suddenness of the attack, most of the Jedi were killed. Also, a group of clones of the 501st Legion, led by the newly converted Darth Vader, cleared the Jedi Temple, killing all the younglings - small children of the Jedi.

In the service of the Empire

After the transformation of the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems into a single Galactic Empire, Emperor Palpatine reformed the clone organization, transforming them into Imperial stormtroopers, which became a symbol of the power of the Empire.

Over time, the stormtroopers were replenished with new clones, but grown not from the DNA of Jango Fett, but from other soldiers.

Also, gradually, due to the high cost of production and due to the long process of growing and training clones, ordinary citizens of the Empire began to be accepted into the ranks of stormtroopers, and by the time of the Battle of Yavin, only a third of all stormtroopers were clones. After the death of Palpatine and the collapse of the Empire, non-humans also got a chance to become stormtroopers, which had previously been forbidden by Palpatine's xenophobic policy.

Clone unit structure

Ranks

At the beginning of the Clone Wars, the color differentiation of the commanders of the soldiers was introduced. Helmets and pauldrons were marked with various colors, with the exception of the commanders of the main legions: Commander Fox and Captain Rex. Phase I Commander

  •  White - ordinary (ordinary soldier).
  •  Olive - a sergeant in command of a squad of more than nine soldiers.
  •  Blue - lieutenant, commander of a platoon of four squads (36 soldiers).
  •  Red - captain, commander of a company of four platoons (144 soldiers).
  •  Yellow - Commander. commander of a regiment of over four battalions (2304 soldiers). Many commanders were raised to be more independent, allowed to have names instead of serial numbers. The most famous commanders were Cody, Bly, Gree, Bakara, Appo, Neyo, Tyre, Keller and Salvo.

With the development and proliferation of Phase II armor, clone troopers no longer use color coding to indicate rank, and instead use color coding to identify military branches and deployments. Clones in Phase II armor, or at least Commander Cody, would color-code their weapons to represent the campaigns they were involved in.

Specialized clones

  • clone trooper- An ordinary clone trooper. The main military unit of the Republic. They were the first clones. They were used to destroy large groups of droids. In total, more than 3 million units were created with a total number of several trillion clones. The clones were originally equipped with Phase I Armor, but it was designed for combat on planets such as Jaonosis. 2 years after the start of the Clone Wars, Phase II Armor was created. It was more massive, better reflected blaster charges, the respiratory system was also improved, the communication equipment built into the helmet. Usually had DC-15A weapons.
  • Clone-ARC- Elite Commando Scouts were high-ranking soldiers, usually leading various corps in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. Also, officers were roughly equivalent in rank to Major General or Lieutenant General. They were armed with DC-15A, DC-15S and grenades. Like all clones, the officers are unable to express emotions, for fear and hatred would interfere with their ability to analyze combat operations.

Known ARCs: Alpha-17, Commander Cody, Captain Rex, Commander Bakara in the 21st Nova Corps, Commander Neyo in the 91st Reconnaissance Corps.

  • clone pilot- This is a clone that pilots the spacecraft of the Galactic Republic: Venator-class Star Destroyer, ARC Fighters and V-19 fighters. Since pilots are only meant to be pilots, only the DC-15S blaster pistol is included in their equipment. They are rarely on the ground, because pilots fly fighters and cruisers. Like all clones, they have accelerated growth technology. By the age of two years of life, all types of clones were already beginning to learn military science.

Notable pilots Odd Bol, Skuakk

  • clone guard- clones that protect everything important for the Republic: the Galactic Senate and the Jedi Order. Appeared at the very end of the Clone Wars. Armor like clone troopers. Red stripes are visible on the shoulders and knees. After Order 66, they became the protector of Emperor Palpatine.
  • clone commando- The best soldiers in the entire Republic. When all types of clones were created, Jango Fett persuaded the Kaminoneans to create elite units - these were the commandos. Commandos were intended only for special operations. Unlike other clones, commandos have extended free will.

The two most famous clone commando squads are Delta Squad and Omega Squad.

The commandos performed deadly missions and there were many of them as more and more systems passed to the separatists (sp.) Delta and Omega squads were sent to the most dangerous ones.

Clone armor

The clone trooper armor is based on Jango Fett's Mandalorian armor. The developers were inspired by the idea to create a wear-resistant shell that completely covers the Clone's body and maintains absolute security, although many clones died from one shot at them, which indicates a lack of armor. A black undersuit over armor protects the fighter from poisonous fumes and even from the vacuum of space. A helmet with a characteristic T-shaped visor was supplemented with a breathing filter to work in less than ideal combat conditions. The armor consists of 20 skin-tight plates made of lightweight plastoid composite alloys. The armor provides ideal freedom of movement in combat, but presents an inconvenience in driving vehicles. The ideal schematic form clearly demonstrates the Kaminoan influence. The base color of the armor is white, but there were also other colors, for example, during the conflict on Kashyyyk, all the clones were dressed in camouflage. Also, clones - commanders and elite clones - soldiers on their armor had color schemes indicating their rank, there were not many such colors: blue, yellow, red. Toward the end of the war, clone troopers were allowed to paint their armor, do any hairstyle, which gave the soldiers hope that they were people, and not soulless creatures grown and programmed in flasks.
