Clone Trooper

Clone Troopers were a species of sapient clone soldiers genetically created by the Kaminoan race using the DNA of the Mandalorian bounty hunter, Jango Fett, on the water planet of Kamino in the Outer Rim of the galaxy. They were created to be used as the main military force of the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars, and had various enhancements that normal human or alien soldiers would be unable to achieve.

A request for an Army turned asunder
In the years following the Trade Federation's invasion of the planet of Naboo, the Galactic Republic had began to slowly break apart, as criminal and pirate gangs began to attack planets under Republic protection in the Outer Rim. Along with this, several citizens within the Republic, such as the Skakokoan and the Neimoidians, were threatening to break apart from the Republic and start their own Separatist Alliance. Due to these dangerous threatening to break the union of the Republic, Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas, requested that an army be created to better defend the Galactic Republic. Although requests were rejected by the Jedi Council, Sifo-Dyas would still attempt to create an army to defend the Republic. This mission would lead Sifo-Dyas to travel to the Outer Rim planet of Kamino, where he would make a deal with the native Kaminoans, who were known for their expert cloning techniques, to begin construction of a Clone Army for the Republic. This plan would be discovered by the former Jedi Master, Count Dooku, and his new Sith master, Darth Sidious, who decided to use this Clone Army in their plot to take over the Republic and destroy the Jedi. They two then hired a criminal syndicate, the Pykes, to kill Sifo-Dyas, and then travel to Kamino, posing as Jedi, to tell the Kaminoans to implant a control chip into the minds of every Clone produced for the Republic Army. These control chips would, when activated, force the Clones to kill any Jedi they come into contact with, naming the activation command, Order 66. Dooku would also hire a Mandalorian bounty hunter, Jango Fett, to be the genetic template for the Clones, as Jango was renowned for being a skilled Jedi killer.

Discovered by the Republic
Just before the start of the Clone Wars, the Clone Troopers would be discovered by the Galactic Republic after the Jedi Knight, Obi-Wan Kenobi, found out about their existance while tracking down Jango Fett and his son Boba, before later getting captured by Separatists on Geonosis, and indirectly starting the Battle of Geonosis. Following their discovery by the Republic, the Clone troopers would swear loyalty to the government, becoming the main military force of the Republic, being led by the Jedi Order into battle against the Separatists and their Battle Droid armies.
