Clone Troopers

Clone Troopers were soldiers of the Galactic Republic. Genetic clones of the bounty hunter Jango Fett, they formed the backbone of the Republic's military. At the time of their introduction, the Republic's clone troopers represented the future of galactic warfare. Far superior to battle droids, the clone troopers waged war against the forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. So symbolic were they of the times, the galaxy-wide conflict that saw their debut took its name from their ranks: the Clone Wars.
