Trooper

The Troopers are a species of the Humanoid race, referred to Clonoids during the times of the Dynastic Wars. Members of the Trooper species reproduce by cloning and have shorter lifespans than other Humanoids. Originally created by the Kappa Dynasty to fight in their wars, several of these original "Clonoid" strains have been modified and now exist throughout the Blobverse.

Subspecies
Kiko-The Kiko are the most common subspecies of trooper, originally cloned prior to Year -1500. Their name comes from an abbreviation of "Knock In Knock Out", describing the gene modifying principles of the first clones. They were created to fight in the wars of the Kappa Cluster, and have above average combat ability, fast growth rates, and short lifespans.

KiKo IIIb-Several variations of the Kiko clone exist, each with different modifications to the base Kiko genome. The Kiko IIIb variant came into popularity after the Calamity, and is currently the fastest growing Topper subspecies. It is a popular choice due to increased life expectancy and resistance to many diseases.

Tauite-The original founders of the Tau Confederacy continued to clone from their own genetic stock, making modifications throughout several generations. The Tauites are a collection of Troopers that share this similar genetic origin.

Sixgen-The 6th generation of Clonoids created to fight in the Dynastic Wars were among the most powerful and the most healthy, with some harbouring elemental potential. The 6th and 7th generation are few in number, but are continuing to clone from their remarkably preseved genetic stock.

Shadow Trooper-The Shadow Troopers are a result of unsanctioned species experimentation by the United Tau Federation in order to create Troopers with Shadow Affinity. The first batch of Shadow Troopers destroyed their research facility, putting a stop to the program. They continue to live in isolation and bear grudges against factions conducting species experimentation.
