Clone X

Clone X, also named Sniper X, was a conditioned clone trooper who worked as a clone X operative for the Galactic Empire. His identifying number wiped, he was deployed by Imperial officers to complete high-priority and covert operations for the nascent Empire. In 18 BBY, the early Empire had begun working towards phasing out their clone trooper army with a military of conscripted recruits. Vice Admiral Edmon Rampart proposed a recruitment bill in the Imperial Senate to finish the transition, but deployed Clone X to eliminate all individuals with knowledge of his secret previous attack on Kamino cities that would threaten the bill.

Though having killed the trooper Cade, a second trooper; Slip escaped with knowledge of the attack. Beginning a search for Slip across the planet Coruscant, the trooper spoke with Pantoran Riyo Chuchi after she told her fight against Rampart's bill to him and other troopers, revealing Rampart's destruction of the Kaminoan cities. Clone X had continued pursuing Slip, but received orders from Rampart to eliminate Chuchi as well, after learning her guards were also searching for the trooper. Finding both and killing Slip, the assassin chased Chuchi until he was stunned by the presumed deceased Clone Captain Rex, but killed himself with a suicide shocker while being questioned.
