Advanced Recon Commando

Advanced Recon Commandos (also known as Advanced Recon Clone Troopers or ARC troopers) were an elite variant of clone troopers in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Galaxy Wars. Although less numerous than other clones, they were among the most skilled soldiers in the Galaxy.
== History ==
During the early stages of the clone army’s development, Jango “Patch” Fett and his Mandalorian military advisors supported the creation of clones capable for delicate covert missions too delicate for standard units. To achieve this desired result, the Kaminoan cloners from Defalius didn’t apply the standard behavior correction, and enhanced the prime clone’s genetic sample to increase physical power. The first attempt in the genetic alterations failed, which resulted in the Null-class Advanced Recon Commandos. Having learned their lesson, the Kaminoans tried again. It took five times to succeed, generating several ARC troopers in the Alpha-class.
After completing standard flash training and accelerated growth, these clones were sent to Jango Fett to learn. Under his strict discipline, they learned to use their intense independence, creativity, and physical superiority in combination with their training in advanced weapons and vehicles to become virtual one-man armies. Once the Confederacy of Independent Systems learned of these ARC troopers, Defalius became an instant target. Luckily, the Republic protected the planet’s cloning facilities from the CIS and their massive star fleet.
The ARCs were then sent into the rest of the Grand Army. As the ARCs took their place, they developed distinct personalities due to their unaltered nature; some gave themselves names, others formed forbidden relationships outside of the GAR. 
As the battles went on, some battles were won by the Republic largely in thanks to the ARC troopers. Soon, as their reputation spread among the GAR and throughout the galaxy, the ARCs proved time and time again as to why they were regarded as the best of the best in the Grand Army. As perfect soldiers, the ARCs and Jango were almost exactly alike. Alpha-77 “Fordo”, for instance, has adapted the same blaster-spin. However, because of their training as independent soldiers, they were more prone to questioning orders.
