This member was the rescued Advanced Recon Commando Clone Corporal CT-1409 "Echo." Echo was captured by Separatist forces during the Battle of Lola Sayu, and turned into a cyborg. A fifth member joined the unit later, near the end of the Clone Wars. " Wrecker" was the squad's muscle thanks to his strength, and although he had a dark sense of humor, he was deeply loyal to his fellow squadmates and others who won his respect. Tech was also skilled in decryption, language skills, military tactics, and improvisation. The member known as " Tech" was considered the unit's resident genius, as he was an expert slicer and problem-solver who preferred clever planning rather than raw force to defeat their enemies.
Įcho, Crosshair, Hunter, Tech, and Wrecker Crosshair was often tasked with serving as the team's lookout, a position from which he could cover his squad with his sniping skills. Although Crosshair was dedicated to his comrades in Clone Force 99, he had little regard for regular clones, who he viewed as expendable. " Crosshair" had exceptional vision that was far superior to a standard clone's, which allowed him to dispatch targets at extremely long distances. The squad's leader was reluctant to work with standard clone troopers – who the squad nicknamed "regs" – as he believed that they would only interfere with the squad's unusual, yet effective, combat tactics. Members Ĭlone Sergeant " Hunter" possessed a talent for leadership, and could sense the electromagnetic fields given off by droids, which was considered an invaluable ability as Clone Force 99 was often sent on top secret and dangerous missions. The group, somewhat disdainfully, referred to normal troopers as "regs." According to Wrecker, whatever ship they were using was always shot down and destroyed when they worked alongside regular clones. The squad worked together with Marshal Commander CC-2224 "Cody" on certain occasions, but did not report to anyone in particular. They were known to have a one hundred percent success rate. While a part of the Grand Army of the Republic, they earned quite the reputation. Each one of the members acquired certain abilities unique to the team. These mutations also had the unique effect of altering their appearance and voice greatly from regular clone troopers. The unit originated as a batch of clones who were created with "desirable" genetic mutations that made them superior soldiers, as a result of genetic manipulation. The original four members of Clone Force 99Ĭlone Force 99 was named in remembrance of 99, a malformed maintenance duty clone who died while aiding the defense of Kamino from the Separatist invasion during the Clone Wars.
