Clone troopers were highly trained soldiers in the Grand Army of the Republic.
Engineered and bred on Kamino with the template of Jango Fett, “Your clones are very impressive,
you must be very proud.”
“I’m just a simple man, trying to make my way in the universe.”
These soldiers were a new evolution in warfare, designed to be far superior to battle droids.
To help meet the ever changing demands of warfare, various clone troopers received specialized
training.
Furthermore, as there are so many different environments for battle to take place, the
need for specialized gear also arose.

troopers in canon.

were trained to serve in command positions in the Grand Army or could be sent to overly
challenging situations that were too difficult for standard clones.

in stealth and speed and were equipped with lighter armor.
They often rode All Terrain Recon Transports and were more intelligent and better trained
