Order 66

**Order 66** (オーダー66, *Ōdā 66*), also known as **Clone Protocol 66**, is a fictional event of the *Mass Wars* series created by Casey Hudson and George Lucas. It was a top secret order identifying Jedi as traitors and, therefore, subjected to a summary execution.

The order was programmed into only cloned soldiers across the universe through inhibitor chips implanted in their brains, making it almost impossible for them to disobey the brainwashed command to turn against their officers. The order issued by Darth Sidious.

The Kaminoan scientists who designed the clone troopers believed it was only to be used as a contingency protocol against renegade Jedi. In secret, Order 66 was the means by which the Sith intended to bring about the long-awaited revenge against the Jedi.

The programming of the chip meant the execution of allies and enemies alike, as well as any Clone Troopers who protect the Jedi or refuse to comply with the order such as Captain Rex. Even after the downfall, it continued for years as the survivors were hunted.

"*Execute Order 66.*"

—Darth Sidious, giving out the order.

## Summary

Order 66: In the event of Jedi officers acting against the interests of the Republic, and after receiving specific orders verified as coming directly from the Supreme Commander (Chancellor), GAR commanders will remove those officers by lethal force, and command of the GAR will revert to the Supreme Commander (Chancellor) until a new command structure is established.

## Description

"*Under this directive, any and all Jedi leadership must be executed for treason against the Republic. Any soldier that does not comply with the order will also be executed for treason.*"

—Clone Commander Rex, on the implementation of Order 66.
The clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic were programmed to comply with Clone Protocol 66 during the cloning process. All clones were given an inhibitor chip that could be activated by remote order via voice command; Darth Sidious, for example, only needed to tell clones to execute Order 66, and the order was carried out. The biochip, when activated, would ensure total obedience in a clone, erasing existing biases and beliefs.

The order would also cause the clones to view the Jedi as a dangerous threat that needed to be killed at all costs, even their own lives. In some instances, the clone could resist the will of the chip and hesitate from executing his orders. This act took great effort, and resistance could not be maintained unless the organic chip was removed, which required external assistance in the case of Clone Commander Rex. Some or certain clones can be immune to the order, although such cases were extremely rare.

Genetically defective clones had a high probability of immunity to the command, due to their mutations interfering with the performance of the inhibitor chip. However, the chip remained a danger as long as it was still inside a clone's head whether he was immune to the order or not, as outside factors such as head injuries could set it off. Failure to comply with Order 66 was deemed an act of treason; as such, any clone trooper who defied the order was also subject to execution.
