Originally kept a secret from the [Galactic Senate](https://wiki.unlimitedprojectstudio.com/books/factions-vZw/page/the-galactic-senate) and [Jedi Order](https://wiki.unlimitedprojectstudio.com/books/factions-vZw/page/jedi-order), the Clone Army was considered to be an expansion of the Judicial Forces. Both Senator [Varkis Drayce](https://wiki.unlimitedprojectstudio.com/books/characters-ndi/page/varkis-drayce) and Jedi Master [Dooku](https://wiki.unlimitedprojectstudio.com/books/characters-ndi/page/count-dooku) oversaw the operation, commissioning an initial batch of Clones labelled as the 104th Battalion. In 980 RSY, Senator [Varkis Drayce](https://wiki.unlimitedprojectstudio.com/books/characters-ndi/page/varkis-drayce) delivered his famous "[War Is Brewing](https://wiki.unlimitedprojectstudio.com/books/characters-ndi/page/varkis-drayce#bkmrk-famous-speech)" Speech in response to the growing [Outer Rim Separatist](https://wiki.unlimitedprojectstudio.com/books/factions-vZw/page/peoples-secessionist-army) coalition within the Outer Rim of the galaxy. Addressing the [Galactic Senate](https://wiki.unlimitedprojectstudio.com/books/factions-vZw/page/the-galactic-senate), he informed them of his creation of the Clone Army alongside Jedi Master [Dooku](https://wiki.unlimitedprojectstudio.com/books/characters-ndi/page/count-dooku) and called for the militarization of the [Galactic Republic](https://wiki.unlimitedprojectstudio.com/books/factions-vZw/page/galactic-republic). As the [Outer Rim Separatist](https://wiki.unlimitedprojectstudio.com/books/factions-vZw/page/peoples-secessionist-army) coalition grew into an full-on [Confederacy](https://wiki.unlimitedprojectstudio.com/books/factions-vZw/page/confederacy-of-independent-systems), so did the concern of the [Galactic Senate](https://wiki.unlimitedprojectstudio.com/books/factions-vZw/page/the-galactic-senate). Deciding to heed the advice of Senator [Varkis Drayce](https://wiki.unlimitedprojectstudio.com/books/characters-ndi/page/varkis-drayce), a motion was passed in 980 RSY to officially establish the lab-grown Clone Army as the official militarized forces of the [Galactic Republic](https://wiki.unlimitedprojectstudio.com/books/factions-vZw/page/galactic-republic). ## Structure WIP
