克隆人刺客（Clone assassin)LEGENDS

"You haven't seen anything as fast as I am."
―An unidentified clone assassin[src]
Clone assassins were a specialized class of clone troopers created by the Kaminoan cloners on the planet of Kamino. These troopers were commissioned by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, through a special order during the Clone Wars. The assassins were trained specifically to eliminate Jedi by utilizing Teräs Käsi, a form of unarmed combat. Through training duels with Padawans of the Jedi Order, the clones developed greatly enhanced speed as well as an aptitude for anticipating strikes and the ability to resist Jedi mind tricks.

Assassins were fully put in use following the activation of Order 66, a measure trained into all clone troops that commanded them to kill their Jedi superiors. A unit of the clone variant was sent by Palpatine to assist in an assault on the Jedi Temple on the planet of Coruscant, which took place in 19 BBY. There, Darth Vader, the leader of the assault, along with the 501st Legion, cleared the Temple of all Jedi. Vader activated a beacon, inside the Jedi Temple communication center, designed to contact all Jedi across the galaxy and sent a message ordering all Jedi to return to the Temple, where a large garrison of clone troops was waiting to eliminate each one that did so. The squad charged with defending the beacon was killed by Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, who was attempting to alter the message to ward any surviving Jedi away, when they attacked him and were rebuffed.

“你从来没见过比我还要快的东西。”
                                 ——一名身份不明的克隆人刺客。

克隆人刺客是卡米诺星球上的卡米诺克隆学家创造的一种特殊的克隆人部队。这些士兵是由最高议长帕尔帕廷在克隆人战争期间通过一项特别命令委任的。这些刺客经过特殊训练，可以利用Teräs Käsi，一种徒手格斗的形式来消滅絕地。通过与绝地武士团的学徒进行决斗训练，克隆人大幅提高了速度，预测攻击的能力以及抵御绝地控心术的能力。

在66号命令——一项所有克隆人士兵都训练的措施以命令他们杀死自己的绝地长官 激活后，这些刺客们便全面投入使用。在19BBY，帕尔帕廷派出了一支克隆人变体部队协助进攻科洛桑的绝地圣殿。在那里，这次进攻的领导者达斯-维达与501军团一起清除了圣殿内的所有绝地。维达激活了绝地圣殿通讯中心内的一个信标，计划联络分散在银河系的绝地并发送消息命令所有绝地返回圣殿，那里有一大批克隆人部队驻守着并等着消灭每一个这样做的人。负责守卫信标的小队被绝地大师欧比旺-克诺比杀死，他们攻击了试图改变讯息以让幸存的绝地避开这里的欧比旺但被阻止。

History

"Stay and protect the beacon. Guard it with your lives."
―Darth Vader to a squad of clone assassins[src]

Clone assassins were specially commissioned by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, actually the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, as an addition to the Grand Army of the Republic through the Galactic Senate. Palpatine justified the need for these troops in the legislation as a way to combat Jedi if they ever decided to rebel against the Senate and the Republic.[1]

In 19 BBY, the final year of the Clone Wars, Anakin Skywalker, a Jedi Knight and friend of the Chancellor, swore fealty to Sidious' Sith teachings and became his Sith apprentice, taking the name Darth Vader. Afterward, the Dark Lord sent a unit of clone assassins to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, with Vader and the 501st Legion, to exterminate the Jedi inside.[1] Amidst of the battle inside the Temple, Vader assigned a squad of six assassins to protect the Jedi Temple communication center, where he had activated a beacon that transmitted to all Jedi in the galaxy, informing them that the war was over and that they were to return to the Temple. A large garrison of clone troops was left in the Temple to intercept and eliminate any returning Jedi.[4]

After receiving the beacon's message and hearing of the attack on the Jedi Temple, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and Grand Master Yoda, deeming it an obvious trap, decided to infiltrate the Temple in an effort to stop the signal's broadcast. Kenobi entered the Communication Room and was cornered by the squad of assassins Vader had stationed there, though he successfully rebuffed them all.[4]


随着武士陨落（knightfall)的行动，克隆人刺客驻扎在绝地圣殿

1，历史
“待在这里保护信标，用你们的生命去守卫它。”
——达斯-维达对一小队的克隆人刺客说。

克隆人刺客是由最高议长帕尔帕廷（实际上是西斯尊主达斯-西迪厄斯）特别委任的，通过银河议会作为大共和国军的扩充部分。帕尔帕廷在立法中证明：如果绝地反抗议会和共和国，就需要这些军队作为对抗绝地的一种方式。

在19BBY，克隆人战争的最后一年，安纳金-天行者，一名绝地武士及议长的朋友，宣誓效忠于西迪厄斯的西斯指导并成为他的西斯学徒，得到了达斯-维达这个名字。之后，黑暗尊主派遣了一队克隆人刺客到科洛桑的绝地圣殿，与维达和501军团一起消灭里面的绝地。在圣殿内的战斗中，维达派了一小队的6名刺客来守卫绝地圣殿通讯中心，在那里，维达激活了一个信标并向全银河系的绝地发送消息，告知他们战争已经结束了，他们需要返回圣殿。一大批克隆人部队驻守在圣殿，拦截并消灭任何回来的绝地。

当绝地大师欧比旺-克诺比和最高大师尤达收到信标传出的讯息并得知绝地圣殿遭到袭击后，认为这是一个明显的陷阱并决定潜入圣殿，试图阻止信号的传播。克诺比进入通讯室后被维达安置在那里的刺客小组逼得走投无路，尽管他成功地杀死了他们所有人。


Equipment

"I'm going to eviscerate you!"
―An unidentified clone assassin[src]

Clone assassins were outfitted in a standardized variation of the Phase II clone trooper armor to protect them in battle. Wearing this full-body armor, they were still able to perform incredibly dexterous moves to avoid attacks with no obstruction to their movements. The armor had two twin vibro-blades attached to the elbows which extended their reach and increased the lethality of their attacks. These blades spun out from a neutral position and could be locked in place[4] to either follow the troopers' upper arms or their forearms as they swung at their opponents. The assassins wore parted kamas, which were kept on by a belt with two storage pouches on each hip.[4] They also carried blaster pistols.[1] Clone assassins used sniper rifles to execute intruders.[5]

“我要把你开膛破肚！”
——一名身份不明的克隆人刺客。

克隆人刺客身穿全套标准克隆人二代甲的变体盔甲以在战斗中保护他们。即便穿着这种覆盖全身的盔甲，他们仍能够做出令人难以置信的灵活动作，避免攻击的同时不对其行动造成阻碍。他们的盔甲肘部附有一对可以扩展攻击范围，增加杀伤力的振动刀。这些刀从中间旋转出来并能够锁定在适当的位置：既可以跟随士兵的上臂，也可以在他们猛击敌人时跟随他们的前臂。这些刺客穿着由腰带系着，分开的卡马，腰上各有两个储存袋。他们也携带爆能手枪。克隆人刺客也用狙击步枪杀死入侵者。

Applications

"Clone assassins. Very deadly."
―Obi-Wan Kenobi[src]
Assassins were commissioned and created for the sole purpose of combating Jedi on equal terms. They were trained to use the martial art of Teräs Käsi,[4] a form of unarmed combat that was created specifically for defeating Jedi,[6] in conjunction with twin vibro-blades on their arms. They honed their skills by fighting Padawans, Jedi trainees, and these battles allowed the clones of the late bounty hunter Jango Fett to increase their speed to a level far beyond that of their template. Their dexterity, mental fortitude, and reflexes were also increased greatly by these battles. They could easily dodge or parry most strikes from melee weapons, such as lightsabers, and were also able to withstand Jedi mind tricks without flinching.[4] A squad of clone assassins could easily defeat a Jedi Knight though were not a true match for a Jedi Master. In addition to their unarmed combat, the assassins were also familiar with the use of blaster technology and carried blaster pistols on their persons.[1] They were used to assist in the cleansing of the Jedi Temple and, later, to defend the temple beacon room from Jedi.[4]

3，用途
“克隆人刺客，非常致命。”
——欧比旺-克诺比

这些刺客被委任和创造的唯一目的就是在平等的条件下对抗绝地。他们被训练使用武术Teräs Käsi，这种徒手格斗的形式能与他们双臂上的一对振动刀相协调，专门为击败绝地而创造。他们与绝地学徒的战斗磨练了他们的技能，并让这些已故赏金猎人詹戈-费特克隆体的速度提升到远超其模版的程度。他们的敏捷度，精神韧性和反应能力也在这些战斗中得到了极大的增强。他们能够轻易地闪避或格挡光剑等近战武器的大部分攻击，同时也能毫不退缩地抵抗绝地控心术。一小队的克隆人刺客能轻易击败一名绝地武士，尽管他们并不是绝地大师的真正对手。除了徒手格斗之外，这些刺客们也能熟练使用爆能枪，并随身携带爆能手枪。他们被用于协助清除绝地圣殿，之后，被用于保护圣殿的信标室不受绝地的攻击。


Behind the scenes

This clone trooper classification first appeared as an enemy character in the Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith video game adaptation. There is a bonus level of the game where Yoda is confronted in the Temple by several squads of clone troops and among them is a squad of six assassins, though the canonicity of this encounter is ambiguous. Concept art from the game depicts a clone assassin with dark armor as opposed to the white and blue seen in the game.[4]

In the game, it is indicated that the clone assassins were trained by fighting Padawans. The Clone Wars Campaign Guide stated that the class of clone trooper was commissioned via special order by Palpatine, implying that it was done in secret, possibly indicating that the duels were conducted without the knowledge of the Jedi, that these duels never took place, or another option. Adding to the confusion, Obi-Wan Kenobi, a Jedi who sat on the High Jedi Council, was familiar with clone assassins prior to his encounter with them in the Temple. Kenobi also specifically stated that they weren't "fighting Padawans anymore," though this could have been in reference to their operations inside the Temple that day.[4] The assassins are voiced by Raphael Sbarge who also voiced Carth Onasi in Knights of the Old Republic, and RC-1262 Scorch in Republic Commando.

In the second Jedi Temple level of Obi-Wan's storyline in the GBA/DS versions of the game adaptation. Obi-Wan ends up fighting a clone trooper that had similar colors to the Clone Assassin, although his method of attacking was closer to the Heavy Weapons Specialist, which was using a launcher to fire several grenades into the air to trap Obi-Wan.

4，幕后故事
这一类别的克隆人士兵第一次是在《星球大战：前传三 西斯的复仇》改编版电子游戏作为敌人角色出现的。游戏中有一个奖励关卡，即尤达在圣殿内遇到了几支克隆人小队，其中一支便是由六名刺客组成的。尽管如此，这种遭遇的正规性却模糊不清。这款游戏的概念图描绘了一名身穿深色盔甲的克隆人刺客，而非游戏中所展现的穿着蓝色与白色盔甲的。

在游戏中，它表明克隆人刺客是通过与学徒格斗训练的。《克隆人战争活动指南》（The Clone Wars Campaign Guide）中阐明，这类克隆人士兵是由帕尔帕廷通过特别渠道授命的，暗示这可能是秘密的，可能表明这些决斗是在绝地不知道的情况下进行的，也许这些决斗从未发生过，或者是以另一种情况。更让人困惑的是，欧比旺-克诺比，一名位于绝地最高委员会上的绝地，在与克隆人刺客在圣殿内相遇之前就对他们很熟悉了。克诺比还特别指明他们不再“与学徒相战斗”，尽管这可能涉及的是他们那天在圣殿内的行动。这些刺客是由Raphael Sbarge配音的，他还为《旧共和国武士》中的卡思-奥纳西以及《共和国突击队》中的RC-1262焦痕配音。

在GBA/DS的改编游戏版本，欧比旺故事线里绝地圣殿的第二个关卡中，欧比旺最终与一名盔甲颜色与克隆人刺客相似的克隆人士兵作战，尽管他的攻击方式更接近重武器专家：用发射器向空中发射几枚榴弹来困住欧比旺。

↑ Under his alter ego as Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, Sidious had "no knowledge" of the clone army until this year, therefore he could not have ordered any clones until after the Grand Army of the Republic became public knowledge.
↑ While the gestation period of a Kaminoan clone is unknown, in Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones, it is shown that a mature clone, one fit for the army, could be grown in a minimum of ten years as the movie takes place ten years after production began. Revenge of the Sith occurs in 19 BBY.
