This is part 2 of the “All Clone Trooper Types” series.
Part 3 will come out tomorrow, link to which will be in the description of this video.
First are the Advanced Recon Commandos, also known as ARC troopers.
They were far more independent and physically superior than regular clones.
Many Commandos got direct training under Jango Fett himself before he died.
They wore lighter but stronger armor than regular clones, and they usually also wore
a pauldron and kama.
There were two different classes of ARC troopers, The Null-class and Alpha-class.
The Null-class commandos were the first batch of clones ever created.
Because of this, they were somewhat unstable and violent.
They were supposed to be terminated, but were saved by Kal Skirata, a another Mandalorian
trainer, who not only personally trained these clones, but also later adopted them.
The Alpha-class was the successful batch of ARC trooper clones, as they were stable and
obedient.
They were very independent thinkers, and would argue against Jedi orders that they saw as
incompetent.
Many of them even disobeyed order 66, questioning the legitimacy of Palpatine’s claim of Jedi
being traitors.
Along with the classes, there were different variations of ARC troopers.
These included the Advanced Recon Commando heavy gunners, who used high rapid-firing
weapons like the Reciprocating quad blaster and the Z-6 rotary blaster cannon.
The Biker Advanced Recon Troopers, who were deployed on BARC speeders during combat.
And the advanced recon force troopers, who carried out short-range reconnaissance.
Second are the Clone Commandos, also known as Republic Commandos.
Not to be confused with the Advanced Recon Commandos seen previously.
Clone Commandos worked as a special forces unit, and they were each trained by Mandalorian
instructors.
They were often referred to as being the army’s deadliest soldiers, and they were sent on
missions that included: covert infiltration, sabotage, demolition, and assassination.
They differed from the ARC troopers by wearing stronger and more advanced armor, and they
were more obedient as well.
There was a variation of the Clone Commando, called the Felucian Commando.
They were specialized to operate on Jungle planets like Fulcia, and they wore camouflaged
commando armor.
Third are the clone riot troopers.
They were specialized in riot control and policing.
They were armed with riot shields and stun batons.
Fourth are the Clone assassins.
They were specifically trained to combat and kill Jedi.
The argument for having these clones in the army was to use them as a security measure
for if the Jedi ever rebelled against the Republic.
Clone assassins wore modified armor that allowed them to perform very agile physical attacks.
The armor had two twin vibro-blades attached to the elbows, which they used to effectively
combat Jedi.
Fifth are the Clone engineers, also known as clone combat engineers.
They were used to repair vehicles and to perform demolitions.
They were usually equipped with bacta and ammunition dispensers, F-187 fusion cutters,
and shotguns.
Sixth are the Clone Snipers, also known as clone sharp shooters.
They were specialized as snipers and were used to thin out the enemy infantry from a
distance before the main ally force engaged them.
They wore light armor and were equipped with a snipers.
Seventh are the Special ops clone troopers.
They were used for stealth missions.
They wore a special helmet that enhanced their hearing and allowed them to pick up vibrations
from the far.
Their armor was also colored dark for camouflage.
There is another version of this trooper called Stealth Operations Clone troopers.
They were used to operate the stealth chip during the battle Battle of Christophsis.
They wore slightly lighter colored armor and they had a different symbol on their shoulder
pad.
Eighth are Stealth pilots.
They were used to pilot the stealth ship during the Battle of Christophsis, and they wore
unique clone pilot armor.
Ninth are the Clone trooper Medics.
They were used to treat injured clones during battle.
They wore backpacks that contained necessary medical equipment needed to save clones from
dying.
There were also Clone Medical Officers.
They were used on Republic hospital stations and treated more serious injuries, and they
had access to more advanced medical equipment due to where they were stationed.
Tenth are the Clone Naval officers, also known as clone navigators.
They were specifically trained in technical and tactical aspects of naval command.
They mostly served as aides for regular Human officers and admirals.
Eleventh are the AT-RT drivers.
They were specialized in piloting AT-RT walkers.
They wore a special helmet that featured a boosted-range comlink for when they were away
from their walkers.
They usually carried a circular lifeform scanner on their chest, which helped them find friendly
hostages during battle.
Last for part 2 are the AT-TE commanders.
They were trained in operating AT-TE walkers and other armored vehicles.
