Clone Trooper Pilot
These are special clone troopers bred in the Kamino Cloning Centers for the purpose of piloting craft. They are randomly picked from the normal clone ranks to be pilots and technicians and can drive, fly and pilot most things in the Republic’s arsenal of vehicles although many are trained specifically in one particular craft. Ground and Starfighter pilots wear armor that features yellow markings and specialized helmets.
Clone Jet Trooper
These are Clone Troopers equipped with and trained in the use of jetpacks. They utilize their limited flight jetpacks to rapidly cover great distances and gain aerial advantage over their enemies. The agility of the flying jet trooper makes him difficult to hit and can ambush enemies from behind. While some ARC trooper units also use jetpacks, Jet Troopers are bred at a similar rate to the ARCS but retain the uniformity of the standard clones. The extra training is to learn how to control and manipulate the jet pack, and are not ARC units, rather being deployed into other combat units.
They are issued with EMP Launchers and DC-17 hand blasters, as well as thermal detonators. They wear either green or blue armor and often wear kamas to protect their legs from fire while they are in the air. They have specialized armor so they don’t get injured when falling from extremely high places and their jetpacks feature built in warheads which cause devastating blasts against their enemies.
Aerial Recon Trooper
This is a Clone Jet Trooper trained with aerial reconnaissance skills in order to monitor Separatist forces from the air and relay the location of specific enemy positions to their squad members on the ground.
In addition to wearing the standard armor with light and dark green designs to mark their squad affiliation, they also wear jetpacks on their backs for aerial maneuverability. They also have macrobinoculars on their helmets and carry special communications equipment to relay key tactical information. They use the DC-15s blaster carbine as a compact alternative to the standard issue DC-15A blaster rifle and a utility belt to carry extra equipment.
Clone Adviser
This is an individual who serves as an advisory to a clone commando squad. It is their duty to inform the squad about the mission, status and objectives. The exact nature of this role is currently unknown, due to the secrecy surrounding these individuals. It is unclear whether it is an official army position or is a position filled by a qualified trooper as the need arises.
Clone Cold Assault Trooper
Part of a specialized division of Clone Troopers, these troopers were specially trained for battle and survival in extremely cold regions. Their armour is specifically designed for protection against extremely low temperatures and to allow for effective operations within this environment.
Clone Engineer
Also known as Clone Combat Engineers, they are members of special Combat Engineer Battalions and are well versed in a range of engineering techniques from repairing vehicles to performing demolition work. These individuals were randomly chosen to become engineers while on Kamino and became attuned to their vehicles and idiosyncrasies. They tend to be assigned to heavy artillery units for armoured ground assault.
They are equipped with dispensers that hold bacta and ammunition along with F-187 Fusion Cutters that enable them to repair vehicles, turrets, medical and power droids. They are also armed with detonation packs for sabotage and shotguns or blaster pistols in case of the need to engage enemy units. They are also charged with constructing outposts in the name of the Republic.
Clone Flame Trooper
These are a special branch of Clone Troopers that are specialized in the use of BT X-42 heavy Republic flamethrowers as well as other incendiary weapons. Flame Troopers wear specialized armour designed to counter heat.
Clone Flight Crew
Members of this crew are Clone Troopers who are trained specifically to maintain starfighters and LAAT Gunships. They are also in charge of fuelling and repairing any vessel that needs it after a battle.
Clone Heavy Gunner
These are troops specializing in heavy weapons. They are armed with some of the most powerful explosives and weapons in the army’s arsenal including missiles, grenades and demolition charges. Other heavy weapons include Chain Guns, Rocket launchers, cip-quads and flamethrowers. Their main weapons are the largest ever designed to be used by a clone trooper.
Clone Heavy Trooper
These individuals should not be confused with the aforementioned Clone Heavy Gunners. They are Advanced Recon Commandos specializing in heavy weapons. They carry Merr-Sonn DLX-1 missile launchers, blaster pistols, V-1 Thermal Detonators, HX2 antipersonnel mines and other ARC trooper equipment.
Clone Lance Trooper
These troops specialize in Speeder Bike combat, riding special Aratech 105-K lancer bikes and wielding power lances.
Clone Marine
These are the Elite Clone Troopers of the Republic Navy, tasked with warding off Seperatist boarding parties on Republic capital ships, as well as conducting boarding action against Seperatist vessels.
Their weapons consist of a DC-15a blaster rifle, a PLX-1 rocket launcher, a commando pistol (based on the design of a DC15s blaster) and V-1 thermal detonators. This infantry unit enters an enemy ship and would either capture or critically damage essential systems on the ship. On some occasions, the Marines land a space transport in an enemy hanger and deploy from there or use jet packs to fly through space and land on the ship itself.
Clone Trooper Medic
These clones are specifically bred and equipped to be able to diagnose and treat their fellow wounded clones. They were trained on Kamino on how to medically treat the clone body and were given specialized equipment.
They carry DC-155 blaster rifles and spare ammunition like other clones, as well as their medical equipment. Usually they carry two vibroscalpels, one laser scalpel and two laser cauterizers. They also have a backpack containing bandages and bacta products, as well as being accompanied by an FX-3 medical droid which assists in the diagnosing and treating of injuries.
They wear standard armour but with blue markings.
Clone Medical Officer
These clones are the aforementioned Cone Trooper Medics but are ones who serve on Haven-Class Medical Stations. They are trained in healing the same as the aforementioned medics however they are stationed around the galaxy aboard hospital stations and ships across the galaxy rather than on the war’s front lines.
Clone Naval Officer
These are Clone Troopers specifically trained in the technical and tactical aspects of naval command.
All the clones have an aptitude for space combat, which is derived from Jango Fett’s understanding of dogfight tactics. However, even amongst the clones, some have proved themselves capable of understanding and executing naval strategy to a greater degree than others. These are the clones that are chosen to receive special naval training, many of them going on to become officers in the Republic Navy. However, any who do get there are made lower-tier commanders, sometimes even just aides to superior non-clone officers. This is due to many officers believing that clones are not suited for an officer role, which often causes great tension in the ranks.
Clone Ordnance Specialist
Also known as Bomb Squad Troopers, these clones are specifically trained in ordnance disarmament and disposal – in other words – to disarm and dispose of bombs and explosive devices. This is the most dangerous job in the army and requires a gentle touch coupled with steady nerves and a good sense of how machines work. They also have the task of safeguarding stores of disabled bombs in hostile conditions, such as during the middle of a battle.
They carry DC-15a blaster rifles as protection as well as a DC-15s as a sidearm. They have explosive sensors, ion probes and defusing tools like wire cutters. Their armour is standard, although are customized with large orange markings and an insignia on the left shoulder to signify their bomb disposal role.
Clone Paratrooper
Also known as Clone Airbourne Troopers, these clones are specifically trained for high-altitude drops. They have small orange markings on their specialized armour.
Clone Scout Trooper
These clones serve as special scouts and are often deployed in situations that require fast movement or combat. They are equipped with highly advanced plastoid armour, although mainly wear a body glove on the neck, upper leg and lower arms. It is camouflaged to blend into surroundings on forest and swamp worlds. They are armed with either DC-15a blaster rifles or DC-15s blasters though on occasion also use the NC-15x sniper rifle.
They would also be assigned two vehicles – BARC speeders for mounted, reconnaissance duty and AT-AP’s for attacking and defending.
Clone SCUBA Trooper
Also known as Clone Subtroopers, these clones are genetically identical to their more common clone brethren, but are an elite group that have undergone specialized training in underwater tactics and weaponry for use against aquatic enemies.
Their armour and equipment are designed specifically for effective battle underwater. Their armour is lighter in weight than the standard issue and outfitted with aquatic propulsion packs worn on the back. It also has feet-worn fins and maneuverability jets built into the shin plates for increased agility. The helmets possessed powerful lenses and sensors that allow the wearer to see in potentially murky water, offering a clear image of underwater enemies, and the internal communications system amplifies even the slightest breath for anyone on the frequency. They also feature built in miniaturized oxygen scrubbers, able to extract viable air from the surrounding water once submerged, though external oxygen tanks can also be attached.
They are equipped with specialized blaster rifles similar to the standard DC-15 blaster, that possessed a modified collimator barrel array responsible for reducing the speed of a bolt diffuse in a water environment. They also have explosive ordnance designed to capitalize on water’s ability to transmit concussive shock.
Clone Shock Trooper
These are special force clone troopers that form the Coruscant guard, working with the Coruscant Security Force and the Senate Guard. They serve primarily on Coruscant although work also on other select Core Worlds as police, bodyguards and prison guards and provide physical security for Republic government buildings. Some within the guard are trained specifically for riot control.
They are armed with CD-15a blaster rifles, DC-15s blasters and thermal detonators. They also have access to missile launchers and Z-6 rotary blaster canons during battle. They use All Terrain Recon Transports in pacifying operations against unruly mobs. They are distinguished by red markings on the helmet and body armour as red is the color for Coruscant.
Clone Snipers
Also know as Clone Sharpshooters, there is nothing in their genetic make-up that sets them apart from regular clones as they all possess the same eyesight, accuracy, steadiness and patience. They simply receive special flash training, teaching them the intricacies of being good snipers.
Their main mission designations are to eliminate battle droids from a distance in order to provide cover fire for other infantry units, while also using recon droids to carry out short range reconnaissance. They are recognized by Maroon color markings on their armour.
They use DC-15x sniper rifles, DC-15s side arm blasters, autoturrets, thermal detonators and R-1 Recon droids. Their armour is lightweight, suiting the sniper perfectly since they often have to take the shot and find new cover quickly.
Clone Tank Gunner
While all clone troopers are trained to fire larger weapon platforms such as artillery and starship turbolasers, there are some who are selected for specialized training in this field. They have become experts in such an art and engage enemies long before they can reach close-range combat. One of the hardest lessons for these recruits to forget is the fact that sustained fire gives away your position, having to forget this to do their jobs effectively.
They are equipped with DC-15 blaster pistols in case of close range combat, but are more typically seen using heavy weapon emplacements such as AV-7 Antivehicle Canons, the cannons of AT-TE’s and the heavy repeating blaster of Juggernaut tanks.
Their armour is custom – their helmets insulated from noise and the armour reinforced to protect from the recoil of the cannons they man. They have grey and tan on the helmets.
Clone Trooper Grenadier
These troops have been developed to offer concentrated firepower using Grenades, though they favor the grenade launchers. In a typical patrol, the ratio of regular clones to the grenadiers is roughly three to one. They often use thermal detonators to destroy vehicles and enemy outposts.
Covert Ops Clone Trooper
These are standard Clone Troopers, drawn from Rank-and-File formations who have shown potential for “dirty work” and were trained by Null-Arc’s in commando tactics. The “dirty work” they are sent out to do isn’t always as clean cut as expected. Covert Ops Troopers are occasionally sent to eliminate other clones who have deserted the republic and live their own independent lives.
Advanced Recon Commandos (ARC Troopers)
During the early stages of the Clone Army development, Jango Fett and his Mandalorian military advisers advocated the creation of clones capable of handling covert missions too delicate for the standard units. In order to achieve this, the Kaminoans did not apply the standard behavior correction and enhanced the prime clone’s genetic sample to increase physical prowess. They also had special training that allowed them to act without thinking – claiming it was similar to the Jedi’s use of the Force.
After completing standard flash training and accelerated growth, these clones were placed under the direct tutelage of Jango Fett. Under his strict discipline they learned to use their fierce independence, innate creativity and physical superiority in combination with their training in advanced weapons and vehicles to become virtual one-man armies. Currently there are only 100 ARC troopers, designated as the Alpha-Class, and because of their training as independent soldiers, are more prone to questioning orders.
