Bad Batch (Star Wars)

Clone Force 99, also known as The Bad Batch, are the tritagonists of the Bad Batch arc of Season 7 of Star Wars: The Clone Wars and the titular main protagonists of its 2021 spin-off/sequel Disney+ streaming series Star Wars: The Bad Batch.
Clone Force 99—informally known as "the Bad Batch"—was a clone commando squad consisting of four clone troopers with genetic enhancements not possessed by normal clones—the result of specially designed genetic experimentation. The Bad Batch originally consisted of squad leader Clone Sergeant Hunter, a CQC specialist with enhanced sensory abilities and tracking skills; Wrecker, a demolition and heavy ordnance specialist with enhanced muscular form; Tech, a security specialist with enhanced mental capacity and intelligence; and Crosshair, a scout sniper specialist with genetically enhanced eyesight. The squad had maintained an impressive 100% mission completion ratio, but were notorious for their insubordination and were known to get into fights with other troopers.
The squad was introduced in the seventh season of The Clone Wars animated series, where they came to Anaxes to assist Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Rex on their mission to investigate a source of Separatist' victories, as well as trying to rescue Corporal Echo, the ARC Trooper who was presumed dead on Lola Sayu, now revealed to have been captured by the Techno Union and held on Skako Minor. Following the successful mission, Echo decided to join Clone Force 99 due to his cybernetic enhancements which could be useful for them in combat and special situations.
In July 2020, it was announced that Clone Force 99 would be receiving their own spin-off series in 2021 on Disney+ titled The Bad Batch which follows their actions in the early days of the Galactic Empire.
The series premiered on Star Wars Day, May 4, 2021, where it was revealed that the series was set during and immediately after the events of Revenge of the Sith, beginning with the issuance of clone contingency Order 66 by Emperor Sheev Palpatine. The activation of Order 66 affected the regular clones, but because of Clone Force 99's extensive genetic modifications, they remained in control of their actions, while the regular clones' inhibitor chips caused them to execute their Jedi commanders unquestioningly. Among them, only Crosshair was affected by the inhibitor chip. Clone Force 99, free from the chip's influence, escaped the Empire from the cloning facilities of Tipoca City, Kamino, leaving behind Crosshair, whose chip had been modified by the Empire to make him even more susceptible to its effects, and picking up Omega, the last of the original series of clones which produced Boba Fett and the female clone of Jango Fett.
