There have been several spinoff novels and short stories tying in with the computer game Star Wars: Republic Commandonote The first book, Hard Contact, was released a few months before the Republic Commando video game., known as the Republic Commando series and written by Karen Traviss. Although there is a degree of intertextuality between these stories, they can be split into several defined story arcs that can be read individually from each other. While clone commandos appear in many stories, such as Dark Lord—The Rise of Darth Vader and Jedi Trial, this list only deals with direct spinoffs from the Republic Commando franchise.The Science Fiction book club released an edition of the first two Republic Commando books in an omnibus hardcover. There are five books total: Hard Contact (2004) Triple Zero (2006) True Colors (2007) Order 66: A Republic Commando Novel (2008) Imperial Commando: 501st (2009)A sixth book was planned, but was cancelled due to Traviss's contractual issues and continuity changes introduced by Star Wars: The Clone Wars. That series and the succeeding Rebels and The Mandalorian borrowed much of her worldbuilding for the Mandalorians in modified forms; however the exact plot of the novel series was almost entirely ignored.The short stories, Omega Squad: Targets (set after Hard Contact; reprinted as a bonus story in Triple Zero) and Republic Commando: Odds (set after Triple Zero; reprinted as a bonus story in True Colors), were written by Traviss and published in the Star Wars Insider magazine.The novel series, Legacy of the Force, was co-written by Karen Traviss and is an indirect sequel to the Republic Commando books, both series being published during the same time.

In the Legacy of the Force series, he's grown up to be an awesome Mandalorian wearing a hodgepodge of armor from all of his uncles, and was trained in the ways of the Force by Bardan Jusik/Skirata.

comment
"Well Done, Son" Guy: All Vau's men want this out of him. Vau, of course, never says a thing. Vau himself, ironically. To say the man has daddy issues is an understatement. It needs to be noted that Vau is not jealous of Skirata. He finds the notion absurd. He is, however, jealous of Skirata's boys. All of the Null ARCs to a degree, but Ordo most of all. Having Kal be disappointed in him is the worst thing in the galaxy as far as he's concerned.

Papa Wolf: YOU DO NOT MESS WITH KAL SKIRATA'S SONS!! Lampshaded by Scorch: "If any barve so much as looked the wrong way at his precious little boys, Skirata would have his guts for garters." Vau to a much lesser degree. He beats the osik out of his boys, but does care for them, enough so that he goes looking for Sev when he turns up missing. His trainees look up to him with a kind of respect, claiming that he made them stronger than any other commando group. Darman is very protective of his son Kad, even when he's stuck light years away.

Propaganda Machine: In-series, the public is being misled about the size of the CIS forces. The holonews keeps saying "quadrillions". But as the protagonists point out, if there were quadrillions of battle droids, they'd have lost the war long ago. All of this is revealed to be a ploy by Palpatine to keep support for the war going. Out of universe, this was probably meant as a Take That! to other Star Wars Legends writers with No Sense of Scale.

Slave Mooks
 Republic Commando Series / int_25a31943
comment
Slave Mooks: This series takes a much less flattering perspective on the clone army than Star Wars: The Clone Wars later did. It's explicitly pointed out multiple times that breeding millions of intelligent beings for no purpose other than war is a form of slavery, no matter how well any given Jedi regards their clones or vice versa. Clones who are judged "defective" or who desert the army are hunted down and executed (the "Null ARCs" are a group of "defective" clones whom Kal Skirata stopped the Kaminoans from euthanizing as children and adopted), and Order 66 partly attributes the clones' willingness to fire on the Jedi to revenge for their enslavement.

Corrupted Contingency
 Republic Commando Series / int_3dfa74a8
comment
Corrupted Contingency: Invoked in Order 66. In this novel, the eponymous Wham Line from Revenge of the Sith is shown to be part of a Sparse List of Rules covering over 150 hypothetical Godzilla Threshold scenarios for the Grand Army of the Republic: Order 37 allows the army to take a civilian population hostage to compel a high-value target to surrender themselves, while Order 65 requires the army to remove Supreme Chancellor Palpatine instead. A careful reading shows two key differences with Order 66: One, while Order 65 permits lethal force against the sitting chancellor if necessary, Order 66 commands the clone army to use lethal force against the Jedi. Two, while Order 65 must be ratified by either a majority of the Senate or the Security Council, Order 66 as written can be issued on the sole authority of the Supreme Chancellor. This difference went unnoticed by anyone but Palpatine, who had created the army of Slave Mooks in the first place as a trap for the Jedi, until it was too late.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 Republic Commando Series / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: A lot of the series is about employing this trope on events in the main Star Wars films. The series deconstructs the Hollywood Tactics of the films: The Battle of Geonosis looked really cool on film in Attack of the Clones, but according to this series it was a complete clusterkriff, with huge clone and Jedi casualties due to poor tactics like running en masse across an open field into artillery fire. The Republic Commandos are thus overstretched and at half the strength they were meant to be. On a larger scale, all the battles look really cool, but strategically the running of the war seems like a total mess. The Jedi are great warriors, but, it having been a thousand years since the Republic saw an armed conflict with a peer-level opponent, they were never trained to lead militaries, leaving the Republic Army less prepared than it'd like to be. The clones had their growth accelerated, but if the aging isn't stopped, they'll all die in their forties.

Would Hurt a Child: For all his talk that children are sacred, Skirata still murders padawans after Etain jumps in front of one's lightsaber. It's not noted if they're exactly children, but it's still very jarring.

Happily Adopted: All of Skirata's kids. It's not all formalized, though. From the beginning, he regards every one of his commandos and the Nulls as his sons, and lets them know it. But he doesn't get around to formally adopting them until True Colors, when having a family base starts to matter more. He also formally adopts Bardan to give him a place to stay, and makes it clear that spouses the boys take are also kids, since Mando law doesn't have the prefix "in-law."

comment
Fantasy Counterpart Culture: Karen Traviss explicitly based her vision of the Mandalorians on the Picts and Scots, which has become the most enduring version of Mandalorian lore and was partially adopted by the canon Star Wars: The Clone Wars. They're farmers with a deep warrior tradition and an array of clans that are just as willing to fight each other as for or against outsiders. In Scottish fashion, one's Mandalorian clan is something one can be born to, but one can also be adopted, and one must also consciously choose one's clan. There's also a bit of Judaism in there, seeing as Mandalorians are a diasporic people who go back and forth on keeping their homeland, were once a mighty kingdom in ancient times, and have a word in their language for "outsider" that can also be said like an insult - aruetyc in Mando, or goy in Hebrew.

Hero of Another Story
 Republic Commando Series / int_581f6468
comment
Hero of Another Story: Order 66 has the main commandoes briefly run into several disguised Jedi apprentices who escaped the massacre at the Jedi Temple and are trying to get off-planet (with at least one of them escaping after they are discovered). However, most of the commandoes would object to calling those Jedi "heroes" part of the trope, since the Jedi accidentally kill some civilians while deflecting blaster bolts in a closed space and one of them accidentally cuts down Etain when she tries to save a clone who reminds her of Darman. Near the beginning of 501st, the Special Operations Brigade commandoes are given a list of clone troopers who deserted and ordered to remain on the lookout for them. While most of those commandoes are main or supporting characters who end up on Mandalore, the previously unmentioned Hyperion Squad is never seen or mentioned again. This suggests that Hyperion Squad is on the run from the Empire elsewhere in the galaxy, and that they have different motives for deserting than Clan Skirata.

Spanner in the Works: The series is built around the characters navigating the chaos of the Clone Wars, so a number of these show up. In True Colors, Ko Sai killing herself majorly delays their search for an aging cure. In Order 66, Geneticist Dr. Nenilin turning in his research to the Chancellor's office makes it a lot harder for Skirata to operate. In the same book, the assault on Coruscant - AKA the beginning of Episode III - derails the plan to desert. on the plus side, it gets everyone back to Coruscant quickly.

Armor Is Useless
 Republic Commando Series / int_638b65bc
comment
Armor Is Useless: Averted heavily. The characters are either wearing the unbreakable Mando beskar armor, or the cutting-edge nigh unbreakable Katarn commando armor. There are numerous instances of damage being negated by it. In one short story, Fi fires a Verpine shattergun — the EU version of armor-piercing rounds — at Atin purposely and the armor deflects it. The commandos are appreciative of their armor's durability and it helps them survive many a firefight. In the same short story, Fi is able to jump on a grenade and come out badly rattled, but alive. Amongst other things, armor has withstood blaster bolts, bullets, flamethrowers, grenades, and vacuum. When things are looking bad on Haurgab, Darman considers taking off his armor so he can die quickly.

He rushes in, punches the Jedi, then when the Jedi is down, he executes him, all in one move.

In-universe: Kal in mando'a is a take on stabbing, referencing the moment when Munin rescued him.

Easy Logistics: subverted repeatedly. One of the main problems the GAR faces is the area over which the clones are spread.

"The Reason You Suck" Speech
 Republic Commando Series / int_7d89315b
comment
Bardan Jusik, a Jedi Knight sympathetic to the clone troopers, is eventually recorded giving the Jedi Council a "The Reason You Suck" Speech over their increasing willingness to sacrifice their stated ideals on the altar of My Country, Right or Wrong, then quits the Jedi Order as a conscientious objector and moves to Mandalore, and is adopted into Clan Skirata. Which proves to be a fortunate choice given what happens later...

Super-Soldier: Downplayed with the clone commandos. They're still Fett-genome clones like standard troopers and don't have significantly different equipment (in Order 66 they even transfer a standard clone into a commando squad), but were selected for special warfare training during their development. It's never really addressed whether this was meant to reflect natural developmental variations or if it was just random chance.

Protagonist-Centered Morality: A little.

The series deconstructs the Hollywood Tactics of the films: The Battle of Geonosis looked really cool on film in Attack of the Clones, but according to this series it was a complete clusterkriff, with huge clone and Jedi casualties due to poor tactics like running en masse across an open field into artillery fire. The Republic Commandos are thus overstretched and at half the strength they were meant to be. On a larger scale, all the battles look really cool, but strategically the running of the war seems like a total mess.

Proud Warrior Race Guy: The Mandalorians prize readiness to defend what one cares about, to the point where (as noted in Legacy of the Force: Revelation by the same author) their language lacks a word for "hero," not because they don't recognize the concept, but because they don't consider it particularly noteworthy. At least four of the Six Actions are tied partially or fully to martial arts. Though in practice the Mandalorians treat training to fight as something akin to militia service: Mandalore is an agrarian world and most of its inhabitants have day jobs other than being warriors.

Children Are Innocent: Played to the hilt and then subverted on the same page when Kal Skirata first meets the Null Arcs. At the time they appeared four year-old innocent and helpless children in desperate need of Kal's protection from the diabolical Kaminoans... until they stole Kal's holdout blaster to defend themselves. Early in the series, all clones qualified for this. Etain first sensed Darman as a 'child' through the Force, rather than a soldier. As the series progresses, this becomes less true as the clones grow up mentally.

Big Bad: Interestingly, Palpatine still seems to play this role. Instead of a Sith Lord, however, he's merely perceived by the main characters as a manipulative politican who's much meaner than he looks. The fact that the protagonists realized this immediately while the Jedi are still unsure is a testament to their experience.

Pardon My Klingon
 Republic Commando Series / int_973291cd
comment
Pardon My Klingon: The Mando language is seen most often in swearwords. Right off the bat, we have: Shebs, analogous to "butt" or "ass". Shab or Shabla, analogous to the F-word. The general insults di'kut and chakaar The exclamation Fierfek. This one is preexisting Huttese for "hex" or "curse" (it's also used to mean "poison" but few poisons work on Hutts), but the commandos adopted it as a battlefield swear word. And the insults mir'sheb and shabuir, which are understandable with context. Based on the meaning of sheb, mir'sheb probably means "asswipe", and considering the meaning of shab and that buir means "parent", well... It's noted that swearwords circulate through the ranks faster than other Mandalorian words.

Took a Level in Badass: Laseema, Besany, Etain, Uthan ... Notice, all women It should be noted that with the exception of Laseema -— who was either a Hutt slave or terribly mistreated Hutt employee —- the others are all competent, capable, professional women in their own right. In a normal setting, they would be plenty "badass" on their own. However, when placed within a general military science-fiction action series, alongside life-long warriors and borderline super soldiers, there's something of a need for them to step it up. Which they do. Magnificently. Corr, oh so much. Was just a standard trooper before being picked up by Skirata's gang, and ended up being trained as an actual Commando. And Corr is a Handicapped Badass having had both arms blown off near the elbow. His weapon of choice? A Rotary Blaster Cannon, a freaking minigun in blaster form, that he enjoys plying about a little too much.

comment
Dramatically Missing the Point: When the secret fleet of Star Destroyers and new Spaarti-grown clones show up at the Battle of Coruscant (The ships seen in the opening of Revenge of the Sith), Kal Skirata logically assumes that they are part of Palpatine's grand plan to trap Grievous and Dooku and win the war. He's wrong, they are actually the core of his new, soon-to-be revealed Imperial Army and Navy. When Order 66 goes down, Vau assumes the Order was actually Jango Fett's idea, a way to take posthumous revenge on the Jedi for the massacre at Galidraan with a literal army of Jangos. Again, completely discounting Palpatine/Sidious's role in everything.

Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: The first three book titles are officially titled Republic Commando: ___, while the fourth is titled Order 66: A Republic Commando Novel and the fifth is titled Imperial Commando: ___.

comment
Retcon: This series did a number on the then-recent "History of the Mandalorians" article by Abel G. Pena. Instead of Spar being an insane, fanatical, and charismatic Mandalore who becomes a Shell-Shocked Veteran, he's a cynical puppet warlord who's Only in It for the Money, the Mandalorian Civil War was a minor affair that most Mandalorians ignored, and instead of only around 212 highly dangerous Mandalorians, we have an entire planet of them. Also, that totally awesome City of Bone from the Marvel Comics? Now a failed tourist trap. Of course, with the 3rd-person character POV the reader's provided with, we never do get the entire picture of just what was going on with Spar — and it all becomes a moot point, anyway, when just about everything in the series was retconned out.

And the insults mir'sheb and shabuir, which are understandable with context. Based on the meaning of sheb, mir'sheb probably means "asswipe", and considering the meaning of shab and that buir means "parent", well...

My Country, Right or Wrong: Mandalorians in general. Subverted in Bardan's case, where he left the Jedi because he couldn't stand the fact that clones aren't treated with any respect, even when the Jedi are supposed to value all life. Subverted in Imperial Commando when Fenn Shysa tries to convince Skirata to side with the Mandalorians in general, rather than his clan. Naturally, Skirata refuses.

Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: All over the place. The Mandalorians do not like working for the corrupt Republic or the Jedi Order that tried to destroy them, but they do it out of respect and love for their clone troopers. In the early books, Skirata makes it clear he hates Vau for his brutal training methods on Kamino, though they eventually warm up to each other by the end of the series.

Vow of Celibacy: As is frequently the case, the Jedi Order's ban on romantic relationships (not sex) produces plenty of drama. Etain and Darman have a Secret Relationship that produces a son. There's also a cameo by Callista Ming from the earlier-written Callista Trilogy, who as in that series' backstory has a boyfriend. The series fixes the conflict by establishing that Callista is a member of a Jedi splinter sect that encourages romantic love, which the mainstream order considers semi-heretical.

Refuge in Audacity: "True Colors" details the legal nature of Order 66, explaining it was one of 150 Contingency Orders... And that Order 65 was an order to arrest the Supreme Chancellor and kill him if necessary. The only noticeable difference between Order 66 and the rest of the list is that Order 66 can be enacted purely on the Supreme Chancellor's say-so, where Order 65 requires sign-off of the Senate or the Security Council; the distinction is intentionally obscured by the Long List. Similarly, Order 65 tacks on an "if necessary" to the authorization of lethal force, a subtle but important distinction from Order 66: the Grand Army may use lethal force to remove the Chancellor... but must use lethal force to remove the Jedi.

Order 66 introduces non-Kaminoan clones to compensate, reintroducing the "Spaarti cylinders" technology from The Thrawn Trilogy with the explanation that quality control with the Arkanian tech isn't as good but it allows a much higher rate of production than the ten-year-long Kaminoan process.

Sleep Deprivation: With the commandos.

Arc Welding Order 66 does a little of it to patch holes between the prequel trilogy canon and preceding EU — now Legends — material. The Spaarti cloning cylinders from The Thrawn Trilogy make an appearance, explained as a different technology than used by the Kaminoans that can grow clones faster at the cost of reduced quality control. Jedi Master Djinn Altis, first discussed in The Callista Trilogy, appears with his mobile Jedi Academy on the starship Chu'unthor, along with Callista Ming herself. They're explained as a Jedi splinter sect deemed semi-heretical by the Jedi Council, in large part for their acceptance of romantic relationships. They return in 501st and allow a couple of Jedi being sheltered by the Mandalorians to join them.

Historical In-Joke: Gilamar pulls one on Dr. Nenilin when he compares the scientist to Demagol. Nenilin thinks he's being flattered .... but Gilamar and Skirata both know that Demagol was a psychopathic monster of a Mandalorian scientist who did horrific experiments on children.

Call-Forward: The non-Kamino-sourced clones introduced in Order 66 were created using Spaarti technology, which Timothy Zahn had invented for The Thrawn Trilogy. This book explains that they grow clones much faster at the cost of reduced quality control.

The Radio Dies First: Kind of. In Hard Contact, Omega Squad can't contact Darman because if they used long-distance communication, then their signals will be intercepted, and the enemy will know they are on Qiilura.

More Senior Subordinate: In Hard Contact, after rescuing Etain, Darman looks her as his lawful military superior: under the terms of the Military Creation Act, all Jedi assigned to the war effort were made officers in the Grand Army of the Republic. Poor Etain is just a Jedi Padawan who was on assignment with her now-deceased Master when the Clone Wars started and barely even has any idea what's going on.

comment
Groin Attack: Implied to happen to an official in the hostage situation short story. Skirata does something, but Darman isn't exactly clear of what it is. Etain also tries it on Darman in Hard Contact, but since he's wearing groin protection on his armor it only hurts her leg. Vau also teaches a hold in Order 66 that seems to involve grabbing the victim's uh, thermal detonators.

Twin Switch: The Nulls take advantage of this often, combining it with Bavarian Fire Drill to infiltrate Republic installations dressed as regular clone troopers. Notably, Ordo switching places with Corr in Triple Zero leads to him meeting and falling in love with Besany, and Corr eventually joining Omega Squad.

 Republic Commando Series / int_f5e59782

A Real Man Is a Killer: Played with. The Mandalorians prize readiness for battle rather than battle itself, and aren't opposed to fighting smart, but they look down on characters such as politicians who don't do their own dirty work. Hokan also disrespects Dr. Uthan because she kills with germs rather than conventional weapons.

Canon Immigrant
 Republic Commando Series / int_fc7c4f92
comment
Canon Immigrant: The specific characters and events of this series were rendered Canon Discontinuity by Star Wars: The Clone Wars: George Lucas reportedly had a very different vision of the present-day Mandalorians than anybody working for him (his original idea of "New Mandalorians" became Satine Kryze's faction), and the series uses Restraining Bolts rather than Slave Liberation as an explanation for the clones to participate in Order 66. However, because of its popularity, Dave Filoni built a lot of his portrayal of the Mandalorians on Traviss's novels. Particular examples include: Mando'a in new canon is essentially copy-and-pasted from what Traviss came up with. Best instances of its usage in new canon are the Mandalorian Kom'rk-class starfighters that debuted in The Clone Wars (also known as gauntlet starfighters, as kom'rk means "gauntlet" in Mando'a) and Sabine's landing hail to her clan in Rebels. The lightsaber-resistant unobtainium beskar, introduced to canon in The Mandalorian, was created in this series as a partial explanation for how non-Force-sensitive Mandalorians could go toe-to-toe with Jedi in past conflicts and have any hope of winning the encounter. It's so important in their culture that the Mando'a word "beskar'gam" means not just armor made of beskar but armor in general. The subplot in "The Deserter" involving Cut Lawquayne, a clone who deserted from ther army, bears a resemblance to a subplot in the later Republic Commando books where clones who try to leave the army are targeted for elimination.

 Republic Commando Series / int_fccd06b6

Beware the Nice Ones: Both Etain and Bardan get this treatment. All of the commandos are surprised at how they're able to handle themselves, and Skirata is caught off guard after Vau and Atin start fighting, causing Bardan to burst into the room, push them apart with the Force, then hold them against the walls while yelling at them that the hating will stop now. Scorch as well, when he went temporarily insane following a base attack on Haurgab.

Cut Short: A sequel to 501st had been planned at the time it was written, but was later canceled; as a result, a number of arcs from that novel have gone unresolved. Disney declaring the old EU non-canon makes any sort of conclusion even less likely.
