The once individualistic clones were made to fully conform to the new Empire through their behavioral modification biochips, with their once colorful armor being brought back to an all-white state as they enforced the will of the Empire. Īfter the Galactic Republic was reorganized into the Galactic Empire, the Phase II kit was initially retained by the clones, who became the first stormtroopers.
This trend was introduced by the Jedi Generals, who encouraged the clone troopers to embrace their individuality instead of thinking in lockstep. As with the earlier Phase I, clones customized the new armor to their liking, using special markings and color patterns to denote unit affiliation. Field-tested by Advanced Recon Commandos, it quickly spread through the ranks of the Grand Army of the Republic, and was adopted by nearly all clones near the war's end. Replacing the previous Phase I kit, Phase II armor saw widespread use in the Grand Army of the Republic during the final battles of the Clone Wars.ĭuring the Clone Wars, the armorsmiths of Kamino redesigned the Phase I clone trooper armor, creating the new and improved Phase II armor partway through the galactic conflict. While Phase II was capable of withstanding impacts, pressure, heat and acrid vapors, the armor was vulnerable to a direct hit from a laser blast. In addition to providing its wearer with better vision, the armor plates were lighter and stronger than that of Phase I. Like its predecessor, Phase II was a set of form-fitting white plastoid plates over a black body glove. As such, Phase II helmets were featured an advanced filtration system, and were also designed to be more comfortable to wear than Phase I helmets. Unlike Phase I, Phase II did not feature an internal life support system, necessitating the use of an external respirator in the absence of breathable atmosphere. It was, therefore, more expensive to produce, costing 3,000 credits per suit whereas Phase I cost 2,000 credits. More advanced than the Phase I clone trooper armor, Phase II armor was capable of supporting more specialized equipment. Phase II clone trooper armor was manufactured by Kaminoan armorsmiths. Phase II was a redesigned version of clone trooper armor.
