Clone stormtrooper

Clone stormtroopers were cloned stormtroopers serving in the Galactic Empire.

Technically, the first clone stormtroopers were the the clone troopers who, during the Clone Wars, guarded Coruscant and were termed "stormtroopers." In the Declaration of a New Order, Palpatine gave this term to all clone troopers.

At this time, clone troopers were not only the ones grown on Kamino from Jango Fett. At least 40% of the Empire's clones in 19 BBY were so-called "GeNodes," and others were products of Spaarti cloning cylinders. One month after the end of the Clone Wars, three new stormtrooper batches were being cloned in the Outer Rim.

Due to the percieved dangers of rival clone armies, the Empire banned cloning and continued its clone stormtrooper program in secret. All operational cloning facilities were under the highest Imperial classification and security. This was presumably aided by public recruitment of stormtroopers, the use of multiple Prime Clones, the omnipresent concealing stormtrooper armor, and the fact that the prevalent GeNode clones were neither released from service nor aware they were clones.

As it was, by 9 ABY, Thrawn's use of cloned stormtroopers was considered revolutionary and unpredictable by both Imperial and New Republic officers. Strangely enough, as of 1 ABY at the least, the use of clone soldiers was common knowledge among even the most junior of Imperial officers.

By 22 ABY, production of clone stormtroopers had ceased, possibly due to the end of the Galactic Civil War.
