Clone SCUBA Trooper

Clone SCUBA troopers, also known as clone subtroopers, were elite aquatic assault clone troopers grown on the planet Defalius for the Grand Army of the Republic. Trained in underwater tactics and outfitted with specialized clone trooper armor and blasters, clone SCUBA troopers were deployed on numerous aquatic battlefields throughout the Galaxy Wars, allowing the Galactic Republic to challenge marine foes on equal footing. 
==Description==
Born on Defalius and genetically identical to their more common clone brethren, clone SCUBA troopers were an elite group of clone troopers that underwent specialized training in underwater tactics and weaponry for use against aquatic enemies. Outfitted with equipment designed to allow them to wage war effectively while underwater, SCUBA troopers allowed the Galactic Republic to even the odds against aquatic enemies. 
==History==
Like all clone troopers, SCUBA troopers were clones of the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango “Patch” Fett, born on the planet Defalius, a watery world located in the region of the galaxy known as Wild Space. While the clones of Fett were all genetically identical, with the exception of the Advanced Recon Commandos, a few groups were selected to undergo specialized training for combat in specific environments, training supplemented by equally specialized armor. Equipped with state of the art aquatic gear, clone SCUBA troopers were trained within the oceanic combat simulators of Defalius' stilt cities to battle efficiently underwater. 
As the Galaxy Wars broke out between the Galactic Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems, and the CIS equipped itself with Manta droid subfighters and other aquatic machines; allying itself with marine races such as the Quarren;it became apparent that the Republic would need to make use of its aquatic soldiers and weapons to combat these new foes. The first use of these troopers was during the Battle of Sien Khasu.
