However, Jango quickly pointed out that in the case of the commandos, "The sum of the parts makes the whole stronger." Indeed, commando squads with distinct personalities performed better in the Killing House and in other critical test situations. They wanted to recondition the entire batch. They expected their clones to be perfect copies of one another. The sergeants, in turn, often encouraged clone differentiation by giving them unique nicknames.īut the Kaminoan scientists viewed all divergence as negative. Some clones even adopted the particular accents of their instructors, while others, curiously, developed accents similar to Jango's Concord Dawn inflection. It wasn't long before the pods began assimilating the characteristics of their training sergeants.
Following initial flash-education, the commando pods were assigned training sergeants, men and women handpicked by Jango Fett himself, from the ranks of the disbanded Mandalorian mercenaries.
These groupings exaggerated existing traits, as the brothers would settle into distinct roles, like pod leader, second-in-command, and rebellious upstart. Early on, the young clones were grouped into "pods" of four brothers. The clone commandos in particular showed a surprising amount of divergence in thought, personality, and general psychological makeup. The puzzled Kaminoan scientists labeled this quirk of human development "Factor H." However, as the Kaminoan project advanced, clones started to spontaneously exhibit their own individual characteristics. Theoretically, all clones will develop identically in both physical and mental capacities. What follows is a summary of the clone commandos and how different personalities and talents emerged from their batch. Republic Data Bank Search Vector: Clone Differentiation
