Cadet Academy

The origins of the Cadet Academy are deeply intertwined with the inception of the Clone Army. Commissioned in secret by the Office of the Supreme Chancellor, the Kaminoans meticulously designed and perfected the genetic template for what would evolve into the Clone Troopers. However, recognizing the necessity for proper training, the Ruling Council of Kamino sought out skilled Mandalorian warriors to instill the foundational skills in the emerging clones.

The initial batch of Clone Troopers, a small-scale experimental run of 30 clones, underwent genetic enhancements designed to vastly improve general performance. These clones, devoid of certain inhibitors present in subsequent generations, were trained by experienced Mandalorian veterans. Surpassing expectations, the 30 clones became a proficient fighting force during adolescence, despite their unconventional attributes. Notably, a subset of these clones demonstrated exceptional leadership and initiative, prompting their selection for further training on Coruscant.

Upon their return, these Clone Officers, having undergone intense political indoctrination, were given a fateful order from the Chancellor himself: eliminate the Mandalorian trainers. In an unexpected turn, the Clone Officers successfully convinced their peers to band together against the Mandalorians. A meticulously planned ambush unfolded in Tipoca City, resulting in the demise of the Mandalorians, marking the conclusion of the first cohort's training.

Following the Mandalorian incident, the majority of the Clone Troopers were assigned as the first Null Advanced Recon Commandos (ARC troopers), while Clone Officers were allocated to various roles within the Republic. Those remaining on Kamino formed the Cadet Academy. As the Academy, they continued to play a pivotal role in training subsequent generations of Clone Troopers. This marked the formal beginning of the Cadet Academy's enduring mission — to ensure the Republic maintains a professional and proficient fighting force. The legacy of the Cadet Academy lives on, as it continues to be the crucible where future generations of Clone Troopers are forged into the guardians of the Republic.
