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. Unlike regular clone troopers and Republic Commandos, the ARC troopers went under direct tutelage of Jango Fett. Originally, they were to be terminated, but to their fortune, Kal Skirata had saved them, believing that all clone deserved a better life than the one they were already given.Īfter this, the Kaminoans improved their ARC troopers, and eventually made them 'perfect' once the second batch was created. Despite carrying this plan out, the first batch of ARCs were 'failed,' as the Kaminoans had recorded. During the early development of the cloning program, Jango Fett and his Mandalorian military advisors had decided to also create clones that would be able to handle covert missions to delicate for the average clone trooper.
