The Legacy and Impact of the Phase One Clone Trooper



Clone troopers are an army of identical, genetically-modified clones, created to serve in the Grand Army of the Republic. Cloned and raised on the water world of of Kamino, the clone troopers are trained from birth to serve as efficient military forces. They posses unwavering loyalty to the Galactic Republic and its leader, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine.


Clone Troopers, or simply "Clones" (later Stormtroopers), are armored cloned soldiers who were cloned from the DNA of the merciless bounty hunter known as Jango Fett, which were developed by the Kaminoans for Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas, and which made up the soldiers of the Grand Army of the Republic.[[File:Standard_Phase_1_Clone_Trooper.jpgthumb188pxStandard Phase 1 armor.

phase one clone trooper



Jedi Master Syfo-Dyas secretly experimented with having cloned soldiers for the Republic. He expected and knew that once Count Dooku became a Sith, he assumed that he'd try to over-throw the Republic and cause a Galactic War. Thus, he experimented with various genes to use as templates to create a cloned army from numerous individuals to experiment on Kamino, including his own.


All of which were unsuccessful (such as the Null-class ARC Troopers), except one: the former rogue Mandalorian warrior known as Jango Fett. Though, it wasn't until after Jango Fett's success, he slowly descended into corruption and assassinated Jedi Master Syfo-Dias as a result of him wanting to take advantage to keep the army for himself (including having an unaltered clone serving as his own son; Boba Fett); that he'd be issued as the supreme leader for the Clone Troopers after having an agreement with Count Dooku (hence, the events revolving around Dooku and Jango Fett's betrayal and furthermore abandoning the Republic as depicted in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones).


After several improvements from the previous Null-class ARC Troopers (and various other failed or defective clones), the first successful batch of Clone Troopers were cloned in-time for whenever needed. But weren't deployed until Geonosis, which was the start of the Clone Wars. They were also originally engineered and trained for the Republic the whole time, yet Count Dooku and the Seperatists attempted to take control of the once secret army numerous times under Darth Sidious' command.


Towards the end of the Clone Wars, tensions began to rise between the Seperatists and numerous other factions (such as the Shadow Collective); aside from numerous conflicts that aroused which caused much stress and corruption between the newly-enlisted Phase 2 Clones. One of the many conflcts which occurred even resulted in the discovery of Order 66 by ARC Trooper Fives; resulting in a chip inplanted in many selected Clones by the Kaminoans, while others were basically trained to follow said list of orders (such as the loyal and strict Commander Cody). Hence, once Order 66 became issued, the vast majority of Clones instantly became Imperial Stormtroopers of the 501st Legion "Vader's Fist", or the armed forces of the Galactic Empire; betraying Jedi and the Republic entirely under Darth Sidious' deception, which then led to the Great Jedi Purge. Though, as the Great Jedi Purge continued on towards around 10 to 5 BBY, new technology began to develop for the Empire, and the newly-engineered Phase 3 Stormtroopers remained under-trained due to Darth Sidious, Darth Vader, Grand Moff Tarkin, and the Imperial Council disagreeing with the need for specialized Clone Troopers (as a result of over-estimating the might of the massive army dominating the galaxy).


The Clone Troopers wore three main phases of armor (two during their service to the Republic, and two during their allegiance to the Galactic Empire), and many different specialized versions of all three phases of armor, as well as having distinguished markings, and gear. (Aside from facial features and nicknames.)


These 1.78-meter-tall (6ft 2in) clones were growth-accelerated to mature twice as fast as a normal human, and aged by 2 years every month. And out of all the clones, was Jango Fett's personalized unaltered "son", known as Boba Fett.


Eventually towards the middle of the Galactic Civil War, the Clone Troopers became known as Imperial Stormtroopers, who wore Phase 3 armor, which was recycled from the previous phases of armor. It was lightweight,and defended well, but because of how undertrained the Clones became, they lacked focus, resulting in their deaths and defeat.


Each and every Clone Trooper (as well as every Stormtrooper) has/had a unit number which was the main way of distinguishing or telling themselves apart from one another. Hence; "CC" meaning, "Clone Code". They were usually printed as an invisible holocron scanner code on their wrist or forearm. The designations are often known as:


The Stormtroopers appear in all three Original Trilogy films, as opposed to the Clone Troopers appearing in two out of the three within the Prequel Trilogy; yet the Stormtroopers are depicted as enemies as well as the Battle Droids, to which they ironically appeared in all the films in the respective trilogies that they were featured in.


The Clone Troopers and Stormtroopers were portrayed by many numerous stunt actors in the Original Trilogy of the Star Wars saga, as well as scenes in the Prequel Trilogy (stunt actors wearing motion-capture suits), while their facial appearances were modeled after film actor Temuera Morrison, with Dee Bradley Baker voicing the latter in the Clone Wars series.


The name "Clone Trooper" derives from unusual remarks about how identical the Stormtroopers in the Original Trilogy looked; to whom fans and producers often stated that the Stormtroopers were practically Clones: looking almost exactly like one another, yet it was revealed in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones that they really were cloned after all (in chronological terms).


Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones is actually named after the Clone Troopers; while the Clone Wars era is named after cloned droids and cloned humans battling each other, rather than being named after the Clone Troopers themselves. He is also very nice.


In the alpha version of the game, they wore plain white phase II armor on Naboo. In the beta, their Appearance was updated to include maroon markings on Naboo and green markings on Kashyyyk. In The Chosen One Update, which overhauled Clone Appearances, their plain white armor was made default on all planets.


A slight analog to the Stormtrooper DLT-19, the DC-15 has some advantages over the Z-6, for which you pay an extra three points. You can take potshots at Range 4, which is a little punchier than most two dice pools at that range because of Critical. It adds Critical to your pool, which allows you to save some surge tokens for defense, since you will be converting the first surge in each of these attack pools with the native Critical instead of surge tokens.


Though not quite as cost effective as the Stormtrooper specialist, the Clone Specialist is easily the most versatile, giving you access to a dodge, aim, or surge. Most of the time, this is going to be an aim token, though there may be situations where you want one of the others.


Deciding which tokens to spend and when is also important; generally I spend from least flexible to most flexible; spend your own tokens first, followed by your one shared clone token, followed by Exemplar/Yoda tokens last. This way you hopefully have more tokens available for later units without wasting too many.


The base figure, cloth accessories, helmet, and any weapons are not included. This product is a waterslide decal set for the titled clone. It is recommended to buy at least one backup set for any potential errors (even we mess up sometimes too). 2ff7e9595c
