The most horrifying thing about Dedra's revelation is that it confirms Palpatine had his hands on the next generation before the Empire rose, perhaps even before he became Chancellor.
We know from "Children of the Force" episode from The Clone Wars that he was actively kidnapping kids to experiment on and control. We mistakenly assumed that he was only targeting Force Sensitives.
And the worst part? It could've all been happening in plain sight, under the guise of charity and humanitarian efforts.
Hi! This is just another small thing where my OC starts to form her clone battalion. Hope you enjoy!!
(She is so beatiful)

The 777th
She didi it, Kayra finally passed the trials, making her master really proud. She was only eighteen years old, it was rare for someone so young to become Jedi Knight, but the council did recognized her skills. In addition, they did needed more knight, that is probably why both her and Anakin were knighted so early, even if she was a couple of years older than he was.
The war was becoming harder and harder every day, more and more clones were dying on the front lines and Kayra hated it. She wanted to choose her own unit, she knew no Jedi did that but she figured that giving it a shot and going to ask the chancellor the permission to do that couldn’t hurt anybody and, with her surprise, he granted her that permission. She did not exactly liked the emperor, she felt something strange about him, even if she could not figure what it was. He surely did gave her chills of uneasiness.
“Oh, general Solae. Welcome.” Jedi master Shaak-Ti greeted her, leading her inside Tipoca City as she crossed her arms behind her back. Kayra smiled at her, bowing her head as a sign of respect “Master.”
“I heard you insisted much on choosing your troops.” She said as she led her to the observation room of the training room, “I can’t help but wonder why?”
Kayra followed her, crossing her arms behind her back too as she look at Shaak Ti “I don’t want the responsibility to lead an entire legion as the chancellor wanted me to. I prefer to know the abilities of the troopers to reduce the losses to a minimum rate; I value the lives of the clones, even if most don’t.”
Shaak Ti nodded, moving her gaze to the window to inspect the training clones “On that we agree, general Solae.”
Kayra smiled “Call me Kayra, I hate unnecessary formalities.” She said, making Shaak Ti make a small smile.
The room was small, its metallic colors and its bright white light were almost hurting Kayra’s eyes, which ere used to the warm lights of the Jedi temple.
When Kayra turned to look out of the window, at the clones training, she had to take a second look. There were three clone troopers and what appeared to be… four female clone trooper “Are those… female troopers?”
Shaak Ti nodded “This is a squad of defective clones, coming from a different line of clones. The kaminoans used a second donor, a volunteer, to experiment cloning theories so they could use them on the first line to make new clone commando and more efficient troops.”
Kayra was mostly impressed “who is the donor?”
“A human male named Rhea Cordua. We don’t know why he volunteer to do this, he passed a year ago.”
Kayra nodded “Tell me more about this clones.” The girl was curious about these clones, to say at least. She had always find clones fascinating: they were all physically the same and yet so different from one another.
“Well, they are CT/2-99s and CT/F2-99s. Each of their mutations brought a defective trait in them. Cadet CT/F2-9904, for example” She said pointing at the clone “has exceptional stealth and strategy skills, she always find a solution to what could seems desperate solutions, but she also is too emotional, she attaches too easily and has some problems on following orders. In addition, her growing chamber had a leak, making her… very hyperactive.”
Kayra scoffed a little chuckle “I’m already starting to like her,” She said watching as she took out many droids with her sisters and brothers with her two blasters “and she is skilled indeed, what’s her name?”
“They call her Joy, and I must say that name quite fit her.”
The girl kept inspecting the clones, each one of them was essential for the other; they worked perfectly together, combining all of their attacks. But suddenly one of them rushed into battle, getting himself knocked out by one droid, his brother quickly bringing him safe, making the girl hiss, imagining the clone’s pain after that smack “Ouch, who’s that?”
“They call him Scar, CT/2-9901” Shaak Ti answered, “He’s the first experimental clone of this line. He is very agile and good with almost any kind of combat styles and weapon and has heightened senses, but is also reckless and very impatient. That caused him to perish in many battles, that’s why they call him Scar.”
Kayra nodded, seeing one of his brother taking off his helmet, exposing his scarred face. “How many of this second line there are?”
“Thirteen CT/2-99s and eight CT/F2-99s.” Shaak Ti answered, “They haven’t been assigned to any legion since they are considered defective”
Kayra turned her full body to look at her “I’ll take them. I guess Clone Force 99 is to stay a special force.”
Shaak-Ti nodded “Yes, they do. The chancellor insisted that you took at least a full battalion.”
“Then I’ll take them and six hundred regular CTs” Kayra said, starting to leave the room and walking through the halls of the kaminoan facility.
Shaak Ti nodded “Very well then. Come, we have many other squads to examine.” She said, leading her to another training room.
“What will my battalion be called?” She asked, looking out of the window, inspecting a new squad of clones.
Shaak Ti turned to look at her with a small smile “It will be the 777th attack battalion.”
“Oh, I like the sound of that.”
I'm making a list of Republic of China (early 1900s) dramas. It will include long and mini dramas. it will also include dramas that have not been translated (to my knowledge).
Here is a very small sample of my favorites:
My number 1: Cruel Romance
Gosh darn, I love this drama.
She's an innocent country girl who travels to Shanghai for the vengeance of her family. She runs into him, a dangerous man, who immediately falls for her and protects her in the dangerous world of gangs, drugs, and rich eat the poor. It is translated.
My number 2: 新婚夜，我被少帅哄一整晚 "On the Wedding Night, I was Coaxed by the Marshal All Night."
It's got a clever girl, a smitten Marshal, and an interesting plot. She time travels back to the Republic era and pretends to be a stupid woman married to a handsome marshal. She ends up falling for him and stops pretending to be a genius doctor. Warning: Not officially translated!
I love the sweetness of dangerous men (mostly in uniform) protecting and doting on their wives. It's kinda my thing now.
name songs that would be hits in the republic era and whenever they play at the rebel base anyone who was born and lived during the republic would just burst into song
