Soldier (clone)

Soldier, also known as the Prime to the One Sith organization, was a Human male clone created around 9 ABY from the DNA of Jedi Knight Jaden Korr. He was spawned at an Imperial research facility on a frozen moon in the Unknown Regions as part of a cloning program that was initiated by Imperial Grand Admiral Thrawn with the purpose of producing powerful Force users to serve the Empire. The last of a batch of Force-sensitive clones—originally designated Subjects A through I—produced from combined Jedi and Sith DNA, Soldier, as he was called by his brethren, was the most stable of the clones, not suffering from the madness-inducing sickness that afflicted the other specimens. While Soldier was living at the research facility, fellow clone Seer received a call through the Force from an entity named Mother, who promised to provide the clones with a home and cure for their sickness. After years of planning, the clones—who referred to themselves as the Community—revolted against their creators, brutally murdering the scientists at the facility.

The clones were subsequently stranded on the moon for decades, until 41 ABY, when Korr arrived there followed by the Anzat assassin Kell Douro. The clones escaped aboard Douro's CloakShape fighter, Predator, but were pursued by Korr, who was determined to stop them after witnessing the carnage they had orchestrated at the facility. Arriving on the planet Fhost, Soldier and the clones who had not yet succumbed to the sickness caused a fight at the medical center in the city of Farpoint. After an encounter with Korr there, the clones escaped aboard a medical supply ship, taking Korr's companion Khedryn Faal hostage. However, Nyss Nenn, an Umbaran agent of the One Sith, had also infiltrated the ship and took control of it, hoping to capture Soldier and trade Faal for Korr, as his masters needed both men for their own needs. With Faal's help, Soldier retook control of the ship from Nenn, after which he ordered the former to retreat via one of the escape pods. Soldier then chased the Umbaran through the ship, forcing him to flee aboard a second pod.

The three surviving clones—Soldier, Seer, and the child Grace—eventually reached a remote star system, where they found Mother, an ancient and self-aware Rakatan space station, and were followed there by Korr and Nenn. However, instead of helping the clones, Mother killed Seer and possessed her body in an attempt to escape to the outside galaxy. Soldier and Grace then joined with Korr and his companions, Faal and Marr Idi-Shael, in an attempt to escape from the station. Procuring enough medicine for Grace from the medical supply ship to tend to her clone sickness, Soldier and Grace took Nenn's scout flyer and escaped before the station was destroyed, hoping to find someplace where they could live the rest of their days in peace.
