The clone shadow trooper was a variant of the Galactic Republic's clone troopers. The troopers functioned as the predecessors to the shadow troopers, a group of elite stormtroopers equipped with fully black experimental stealth armor serving the Galactic Empire during the Galactic Civil War against the Alliance to Restore the Republic.[1]

Clone shadow troopers were first mentioned in the new Star Wars canon in Star Wars: Force Collection,[1] a digital card game developed by Konami Digital Entertainment and released on September 4, 2013.[2]
Clone shadow troopers originated in the Star Wars Legends continuity under the same name. They were created for a Target exclusive Hasbro action figure from the 2005 Revenge of the Sith line[3] and later appeared in Echoes of the Jedi, the fourth adventure in the Dawn of Defiance campaign for Star Wars Roleplaying Game Saga Edition, written by Abel G. Peña and Jean-François Boivin and released on April, 3, 2008.[4]
Star Wars: The Card Game featured an image of a clone trooper that was identical in appearance to the Star Wars Legends clone shadow trooper.[5]
