Clone Trooper Archetypes

ARC Trooper

The ARC Troopers (Advanced Recon Commandos) are elite clone units that were personally trained by Jango Fett. Whereas most clone troopers are trained to work as a unit, ARC Troopers function well as individuals, making them even more formidable as foes.

ARC Trooper (revised)

Clone Wars Campaign Guide, page 147.

Advanced Recon Commandos—known to most as “ARC troopers”—are elite clone troops personally trained by Jango Fett to be every bit as efficient and ruthless as himself. Unlike the standard infantry clone trooper or even clone commandos (described below), ARC troopers are genetically engineered and specially trained to be as self-sufficient as possible without being entirely independent.

ARC troopers see their first combat when the Separatist droid army assaults Kamino and Prime Minister Lama Su releases the troopers from their cryogenic storage to help drive off the invaders. They are famously employed at the Battle of Muunilinst, where they help Jedi General Obi‑Wan Kenobi subdue the Separatist commander, the bounty hunter Durge, and again at the Battle of Hypori, rescuing stranded Jedi from General Grievous.

Commander

To counter the threat of the Trade Federation’s droid armies, the Republic deploys an army of cloned warriors. The clone’s creators, the Kaminoans, concieve the clones from a single genetic blueprint (that of the Bounty Hunter Jango Fett, making a few alterations to ensure the trooper’ rapid maturation and unwavering obedience. The true loyalty of the clone troopers is revealed at the end of the Clone Wars, when Darth Sidious issues Order 66 and turns the clones against the Jedi order.
Although identical in appearance, clone troopers have different levels of training, which accounts for their varying levels of ability. Clone toopers can’t be bribed, blackmailed, or seduced. Any such attempt automatically fails.
