Clone pilot
- The Clone Pilots are soldiers in Star Wars.
The Clone Pilots are (part of) the Republic's most elite military force. They are key combatants in a large-scale military conflict known as the Clone Wars. War being a great motivation for technological innovation by humans, "morphing" is developed during the Clone Wars. [1] This is the local term for the heretofore-unknown technology of transformation, which at this time is known to be used by the Army of the Republic for two types of machines: their ARC-170 starfighters and airborne Gunships.
Who are they cloned from? For some reason, we're not being told.
Their Republic Gunships are in use sweeping across Geonosis, blasting the Separatist forces with their armament of missiles. A Clone Pilot can land in the middle of a fierce battle between droids and clone troopers and convert the gunship into a heavily armed combat mecha that goes straight for enemy droids. [2]
They also pilot non-transforming vehicles. It is unknown if these are exclusively older weapons systems or if single-mode vehicles continue to have an irreplaceable role in combat.
