Clone troopers made up an army of clones, created by the cloners of Kamino to serve as the infantry units in the Republic Army. The clones were highly trained, and were unquestioningly loyal to the Republic and Supreme Chancellor Palpatine.
The army was ordered by Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas in 32 BBY and was continually produced across the Clone Wars. Under the leadership of Clone Commanders and Jedi Generals, the Clone troopers battled the Separatist droid army across the galaxy. Following the Clone Wars, the Clone troopers formed the core of the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps.

It is a more specialized and useful wiki created to be an extensive encyclopedia of the Star Wars universe, and is almost entirely in-universe. The name Wookieepedia is a portmanteau of Wookiee and Encyclopedia, being a pun on the name of Wikipedia. The logo, too, is a visual pun showing the incomplete second Death Star as opposed to Wikipedia's 'jigsaw logo'.
