Clone Troopers

Clone Troopers are soldiers that feature in Star Wars.

History

Clone Troopers were genetically engineered clones that were designed to serve as the basis of the clone army. They were created under the secret manipulation of the Sith Lord Darth Sidious who intended to militarise the Galactic Republic in the time of the Separatist Crisis. To that end, he made use of the cover of a Jedi Master named Sifo-Dyas to approach the cloners from the planet Kamino in the commission of an army for the Republic. A template was chosen from the Mandalorian bounty hunter named Jango Fett whose genetic material was to serve as the basis for this force. The clones were bred in secret where they were trained and provided equipment to serve as soldiers for the Grand Army of the Republic. Following the formation of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, the clone army was ready for deployment where they were launched to wage war against the Separatists with their first mission being attacking the planet Geonosis.

Thirty years after the Battle of Endor, the First Order made use of brainwashing of young children that were taken from their families to recruit for the ranks of their Stormtroopers. However, after the defection of FN-2187, General Hux suggested that Supreme Leader Snoke should consider the creation of a new clone army.

After the Declaration of the New Order, they joined the ranks of the Stormtroopers where it was said that the Empire began recruiting new members instead of making more clones.
