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.

Clone Assassin

Created by a special order from Supreme Chancellor Palpatine to safeguard against the unlikely possibility that the Jedi Order might attempt a military coup against the Republic Senate, clone assassins are specially trained in martial arts techniques involving bladed weapons. Moving with blinding speed, a squad of clone assassins is a match for any one Jedi Knight, though they fare somewhat less well against a Jedi Master.

When the Jedi do rebel against Palpatine, the Supreme Chancellor assigns a unit of clone assassins to guard the Communication Center in the Jedi Temple and to arrest any Jedi who attempt to coordinate attacks against the Republic from there. These unfortunate troopers are wiped out when Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi infiltrate the temple at the end of the Clone Wars.

Clone Commando

Long before the Battle of Geonosis. Jango Fett suggests to the Kaminoan cloners that a special type of clone commando be created to handle infiltration and sabotage operations. What he envisions are the ARC troopers, but the Kaminoans are uncomfortable with clones having that level of autonomy after experiencing discipline problems with a previous prototype, so they suggest smaller squads of more highly trained clone troopers. In the end, they reach a compromise: Felt gets his ARC troopers, and the Kaminoans set aside a battalion of clone troopers to receive additional training.

These “clone commandos” are individually trained by a hand-selected team of mercenaries and Mandalorian soldiers—the Cuy’val Dar—in numerous specialized tasks, such as demolitions, computer slicing, infiltration, and sniping, until they can function in purpose-oriented four-clone squads, or, as needs arise, individually.

Clone commandos are often sent into enemy territory in advance of the main force of clone troopers to disable enemy resistance, secure critical locations, or even to eliminate key enemy personnel.

Clone Jet Trooper

Certain missions call for more mobility among the clone troopers. so the Kaminoans train a number of clones in the use of jet packs. While the average clone can strap on a jet pack and fly a few hundred feet, jet troopers are trained to optimize the limited fuel capacity of jet packs by alternating ground movemtnt with short “burst ” flights to get them over obstacles or circumvent diffitult terrain.

Clone Trooper 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.

Clone Trooper Veteran

Aging at twice the rate of an average Human, the original clone troopers are a rapidly vanishing force throughout the Dark Times. As they get older, they become less useful as frontline troops. The effects of aging begin to set in, and though they have years of hard combat experience under their belts, their bodies are beginning to decline. The reality of their advanced aging is something that few members of the Republic ever truly stopped to consider, and in the years following the Clone Wars the Empire must deal with the harsh reality that a large number of its veteran troops are becoming less useful on the battlefield every day.

However, the Emplre is not about to let any resource go to waste, and certainly not one as experienced as the clone troopers. Aging clone troopers are regularly cycled out of frontline units and reassigned to garrisoned posts or less volatile regions. In more peaceful areas, it hardly matters that the individual filling out the armor is no longer a crack soldier. The most experienced and capable are used for training new stormtrooper units or other Imperial forces. However, few of these veteran clone troopers are capable of embracing a life behind a desk or in a training center, leading many of them to fight with suicidal recklessness rather than grow old while training nonclone recruits.
