Star Wars Universe Roleplaying Game

Clone, Republic

Republic Clones are one of the most iconic creations in Star Wars lore—genetically engineered soldiers designed from the DNA of the renowned bounty hunter Jango Fett. Developed on the remote world of Kamino, they were engineered for discipline, loyalty, and accelerated growth, forming the backbone of the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. Their origin story intertwines scientific ambition, political manipulation, and military necessity, making them central figures in one of the galaxy’s most pivotal eras.

From birth, Clones lived within the sterile halls of Kaminoan training facilities, molded through rigorous conditioning, tactical education, squad-based cohesion training, and constant evaluation. Their upbringing created elite soldiers capable of executing complex strategies, adapting dynamically to battlefield conditions, and forming tight-knit bonds with their brothers. These bonds defined Clone culture—shared identity, mutual reliance, and a deep sense of collective purpose.

Beyond their role as soldiers, Clones developed distinct personalities, interests, and moral frameworks despite their genetic uniformity. Canon and Legends sources highlight Clones who became commanders, pilots, medics, engineers, snipers, and even philosophers or dissenters. Their individuality emerged from personal experience, mentorship by Jedi Generals, squad culture, and the harsh realities of war. Many Clones viewed their service as a chance to prove their worth, while others questioned their role as engineered instruments of conflict.

The Clone Wars shaped the identity of an entire generation of Clones, many of whom fought alongside Jedi, liberated worlds, or endured devastating losses. Their lives were defined by battlefields across the galaxy—from Geonosis to Umbara to Coruscant—and by the relationships they forged with both Jedi and civilians. Yet their destiny was manipulated by the hidden Order 66 protocol, leading many Clones to unknowingly participate in the fall of the Jedi Order.

In the aftermath of the Clone Wars, surviving Clones struggled to find new purpose as the Galactic Empire phased them out in favor of stormtrooper recruits. Some Clones became mercenaries, bounty hunters, security specialists, or wanderers seeking identity beyond their engineered origins. Others resisted Imperial oppression, forming rebel cells or protecting refugees.

As player characters, Republic Clones offer deep narrative potential: questions of identity, self-determination, loyalty, and legacy. Their training, discipline, and combat readiness make them exceptional soldiers, tacticians, pilots, and leaders. They represent one of Star Wars’ defining themes—the struggle to rise above one’s origin and become something more.

Accelerated aging causes them to mature quickly, reaching physical adulthood in roughly half the normal time.

Despite identical genetics, Clones often exhibit subtle physical differences over time—hairstyles, scars, tattoos, cybernetics, or personalized gear adopted to express individuality. Many Clones adorn their armor with squad colors, kill marks, or personal insignia, transforming their standard-issue gear into representations of personal identity.

Their gait and posture reflect their rigorous military conditioning: confident, controlled, and ready for immediate action. Even out of armor, Clones carry themselves like trained professionals, projecting discipline and awareness at all times.

Personality & Customs: Clone personality varies widely despite shared DNA. Their accelerated training emphasizes teamwork, loyalty, quick decision-making, and adaptability, producing soldiers who can function effectively under extreme pressure. Yet each Clone develops distinct habits, quirks, and preferences, shaped by duty assignments, Jedi leadership styles, and battlefield experience.

Clone customs center on squad culture: nicknames, shared rituals, gallows humor, and unshakeable brotherhood forged through constant risk. Many squads adopt mottos, unique armor markings, or personal traditions that reinforce cohesion and morale.

As adventurers, Clones channel discipline, bravery, and tactical insight. They excel in roles requiring military precision, leadership under fire, or technical skill. Their stories often explore themes of independence, chosen identity, and the quest for purpose beyond programmed destiny.
