Clone Intelligence/Legends

"Our clone intelligence units have discovered the location of General Grievous. He's hiding in the Utapau system."

- Chancellor Palpatine

Clone Intelligence were the espionage units in the Grand Army of the Republic.

History
These Intelligence units were created by the Galactic Republic during the devastating Clone Wars that ravaged the galaxy and consisted of different types of clones for information gathering missions on Separatist activities. Clone types included the early though rare Null-class Advanced Recon Commandos and the more numerous clone shadow troopers. During this time, Clone Intelligence was known to had reported directly to the Jedi Council.

When a Confederacy of Independent Systems mystery ship began destroying Galactic Republic starships, Clone Intelligence reported that the enemy ship left no survivors in its wake. After the ships destruction, they later reported the sighting of General Grevious at Balmorra.

By the closing stages of the Clone Wars, Clone Intelligence informed Supreme Chancellor Palpatine about General Grievous's hideout on Utapau in 19 BBY. They had gathered this information by intercepting a partial message in a diplomatic packet from the Chairman of Utapau. Jedi Master Mace Windu expressed his unease that Clone Intelligence reported the matter directly to the Supreme Chancellor though Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker stated that the constitutional ammendment meant that that the Chancellor was the Supreme Commander of the Grand Army of the Republic which meant that Clone Inteligence were allowed to report to him instead of the Jedi Order.
