Shaladona New Army

" "

The Shaladona New Army was the army of clone soldiers that would be named Shaladona Commandoes and droids that would be in charge of protecting Kamino and its interests, they specialized in ground combat and therefore were in control of armored vehicles and similar equipment. Right before the Battle of Retribution the 1st Division under the Shaladona New Army was formed. As the interests of the KFS grew, more divisions were formed and most of them actually never had the full power of a division until times of peace and reorganization.

## Role

The Shaladona New Army was created as the ground force of the KFS, their equipment, structure, and technology is based off the Galactic Republic and Galactic Empire. Throughout the many years of witnessing warfare the Kaminoans had the advantage of experience and hundreds of connections to the Galaxy. Supreme Commander Lathe founded the Shaladona New Army alongside the Kaminoan people and worked to create the soldiers which would go on to establish Kaminoan Independence throughout the galaxy.

## History

### Galactic Civil War

During the Galactic Civil War the Shaladona New Army alongside the Kamino Federation of Shalakun Navy fought against the Galactic Empire.

## Organization and Structure

### Tactical Organization

The SNA had a very simple structure of rank that began with a squad of 9 soldiers to the Shaladona New Army ordered by the Supreme Commander, the unit structure in the SNA was low in numbers compared to the traditional army because of a constant lack of resources. Nevertheless the Shaladona Commandoes soon began to pay off in the later days of the KFS, the command structure was based off the Republic and Imperial ranks and old Kaminoan military before the Great flood. It is said that throughout the entire Galactic Civil War the Shaladona New Army was so thinly spread that not even half a division defended Kamino anymore by the end of the war. Battle droids began being incorporated into the Shaladona New Army in 5 ABY, 1 unit was issued per squad which would perform highly complex mathematics and give advice to the organic units in the squad. Loads of shipments were purchased through fake accounts that all led to the KFS. The 2 main battle droid models were the HK-51 series assassin droid and C-21 Highsinger.
