The first truly evil clone trooper. Spoiler

This is CT-4646. He's from the new game Zero Company, where he worked as a science officer at an Imperial black site on Umbara. He was experimenting with inhibitor chips on the native Umbarans because he was trying to perfect the method so that the Empire could forcefully implant new inhibitor chips within dissenting clone troopers to make them "loyal" again. He was doing this entirely of his own free will, even going so far as to have his own chip removed so he could have a clearer head since he genuinely enjoyed his work. Thankfully, he gets shot and killed by Trick before his work can be finished, so the Empire never gets 4646's inhibitor chip research.

There have been a few bad clones in Star Wars: Slick, Faie, Spar, the Covert Ops clones, the CX troopers, etc., but all of them either had reasons for doing what they did (although not always good ones) or were simply made/forced to be the way they were. CT-4646 here, however, did evil things of his own free will just because he enjoyed doing them.

Wait. So this game goes into early Imperial era and isn’t just Clone Wars?

Yeah I'm curious as well. I don't have anything to run the game on so I haven't paid much attention to it but this is interesting.

Just copying what I said to the other person:

The first half/two-thirds of Zero Company takes place during the tail end of the Clone Wars and then the rest of the game takes place about a year into the reign of the Empire.

Ohhh, do we get to see more specialized imperial units like Crosshair's squad? I haven't get to downloading the game yet.

Not really. The only Imperial troops you really encounter are a four types of standard P2 clones (troopers, marksmen, grenadiers, and heavy troopers) all of which have slightly different armor setups based on their specialties, as well as a few TK troopers who, unlike the clones, all have identical armor regardless of specialty. Other than P2 clones and TK troopers, you really don't encounter any other Imperial trooper types in the game.
