Genetically defective clone

Genetically defective clones, designated as CT-99s, were clone troopers who had genetic and physical defects as a result of the cloning process. While Clone 99 was relegated to the tasks of a maintenance duty clone due to his physical limitations, the members of Clone Force 99—Clone Sergeant "Hunter," "Tech," "Wrecker," and CT-9904 "Crosshair"—possessed unique mutations which allowed them to serve in the Grand Army of the Republic during the War of the Ring. Echo, who was originally a "reg" until he was presumed dead became a defective clone after he was captured and modified by the Separatists on Skako Minor. After he was rescued and the Battle of Anaxes he joined Clone Force 99. Due to his programming from his inhibitor chip being erased on Skako, and the genetic mutation of his fellow teammates, the Bad Batch were immune from the affect of their chips during Order 66, with the exception of Crosshair.
Following the Galactic Republic's reorganization into the Galactic Empire, Clone Force 99 extracted a clone deserter, CC-5576 "Gregor," from an Imperial base on Daro. Gregor initially assumed that they were clone commandos like him, until Hunter identified his squad as CT-99s, indicating their status as defective clones.
