Advanced Recon Commando



Advanced Recon Commandos also known as ARC Troopers were an elite variant of the Grand Army of the Republic's clone troopers. ARC Troopers were either bred for their role as Null-Class, Alpha-Class or Apex-Class ARC Troopers, or selected from the ranks of the Grand Army to become Enforcer-Class ARC Troopers. The title of ARC Trooper was a prestigious one, and those who bore it served with distinction both on the battlefield as well as at home.

ARC Troopers, were often seen in positions of command or as support on special assignment to certain units. An example of this was when Clone sergeants, Denal and Jesse were promoted to ARC Trooper, where they would remain serving with their old unit, the 501st Legion on special assignment.

Null-Class ARC Trooper
Null-Class ARC Troopers were the first ARC Troopers created by the Kaminoans and were much more unstable than their successors, being far more independent than the Kaminoans wished for. Along with this, the Nulls while originally produced as a batch of 20 as a test, due to many complications, the Nulls were reduced to only six. When slated for termination, the Nulls would be saved by Kal Skirata.

Alpha-Class ARC Trooper
The Next batch of ARC Troopers, the Alphas were produced as a batch of 100 with no complications. The Alphas were the first "successful" batch of ARC Troopers and thanks to the Nulls, they were more "refined" in the Kaminoans' eyes. These ARC Troopers would be trained under the direct supervision of Jango Fett, who would instill special orders into these clones, such as to destroy the young clones should Kamino ever fall into enemy hands.

Apex-Class ARC Trooper
Apex-Class ARC Troopers were produced far later than the Nulls and Alphas, created to surpass both their predecessor ARC variants as well as the clone commando units also produced by the Kaminoans. While trained by Jango, they were given to Mandalorian instructor Dah'zn Cryn and later his young daughter, Lan'tana Cryn
