Jango Fett Clone (Star Wars)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jango Fett was a bounty hunter in the Star Wars Universe until he was struck down by Mace Windu in the Battle of Geonosis. He provided the DNA for a clone army for the republic. He contributed this DNA by hunting down and capturing the leader of the Bando Gora, a cult that used altered death sticks (cigars, but much more potent) to recruit members. After slaying the former Jedi leader of the cult, Komari Vosa, he was approched by Count Dooku, who had posted the bounty, to come to Kamino to be cloned. Fett's only demand was the first clone, unaltered. Since then, the Kaminoans had created millions of clones for the army. Many were foot soldiers, while others were Republic Commandos, who worked in groups of four to achieve seemingly impossible objectives, and Advanced Recon Commandos (ARC troopers), who could work alone or as a squad. The clones were used well into the creation of the Empire, but had clones from other sources added, due to the Kaminoans realizing the destructiveness of the Empire, and creating a clone army to counter it, made up of mainly Jango Fetts trained as Jet Troopers and Rail ARC Troopers. After the uprising, the Empire decided that one group of clones was too susceptible to subversion, and diversified the clones.
