As droid detachments closed in on Tipoca City, Prime Minister Lama Su activated the Advanced Recon Commandos and authorized their deployment to hot-spots across Kamino in a last-ditch effort to save the planet's precious cloning facilities. Two months after the Battle of Geonosis, a Confederacy assault on Kamino prompted their early activation. After completing their training, the ARC troopers were locked in stasis on Kamino until they were required. Under Fett's strict discipline they learned to use their fierce independence, innate creativity, and physical superiority in combination with their training in advanced weapons and vehicles to become virtual one-man armies.

Having learned their lesson, the Kaminoans succeeded in their second attempt, generating the first 100 ARC troopers, designated the Alpha-class.Īfter completing standard flash training and accelerated growth, these clones were placed under the direct tutelage of Jango Fett. The first attempt at genetic alterations failed, resulting in the Null-class ARC troopers. They claimed it was similar to the Jedi's use of the Force. ARC troopers had special training that allowed them to act without thinking. To achieve the desired results, the Kaminoans did not apply the standard behavior correction and enhanced the prime clone's genetic sample to increase physical prowess. During the early stages of the clone army's development, Jango Fett and his Mandalorian military advisors advocated the creation of clones capable of handling covert missions too delicate for the standard units.
