Clone shock troopers were the
special forces clone troopers that
formed the Coruscant Guard during
the Clone Wars between the
Galactic Republic and the
Confederacy of Independent
Systems. They were trained as elite
shock troopers specifically for
deployment on the planet
Coruscant. There, as well as on a
few other select Core Worlds, the
clone shock troopers served
primarily as security police for
Republic government buildings and
as prison guards. They also
performed duties such as
bodyguards for Republic officials
and as urban peacekeepers with
some troopers trained specifically
for riot control.
