Star Wars: Zero Company

A Hidden Legend of the Clone Wars

In the chaotic final years of the Clone Wars, while the Jedi and the Republic fought desperately against the Separatist droid armies, a shadowy special operations unit operated in complete secrecy—Zero Company.

Officially, they didn’t exist. No records in the Grand Army of the Republic, no mention in Jedi briefings, and no acknowledgment from Chancellor Palpatine’s office. Yet, where the most dangerous missions unfolded—where entire battalions would vanish without a trace—rumors spoke of black-armored clones with no insignia, moving like ghosts behind enemy lines.

The Origins of Zero Company

Formed in secret by a rogue Kaminoan scientist disillusioned with the Republic’s corruption, Zero Company was an experiment in absolute warfare. The clones of Zero Company were genetically enhanced beyond even the ARC troopers, their minds conditioned for total independence from Jedi command. They were trained in sabotage, assassination, and infiltration—tools deemed too ruthless for the public image of the Republic.

Their existence was known only to a select few:

Director Taun We (Kaminoan Overseer) – The architect of the project, who believed the Jedi’s morality was a weakness.

Commander Null-7 ('Specter') – The de facto leader of Zero Company, a clone with eerie, glowing yellow eyes—a side effect of his experimental enhancements.

Darth Sidious (Unwitting Patron) – Unbeknownst to the Kaminoans, Sidious had secretly funneled resources to Zero Company, seeing them as a potential weapon for his future Empire.

The Mission That Doomed Them

In the final days of the war, Zero Company was deployed on a classified mission to Malachor V, where ancient Sith ruins hid a superweapon capable of wiping out entire fleets. Their orders: Secure it before the Separatists could.

But when they arrived, they found not droids—but Darth Maul’s Shadow Collective, battling a detachment of Jedi. In the chaos, Zero Company engaged both sides, slaughtering Maul’s Mandalorians and cutting down Jedi who stood in their way.

It was there that Specter uncovered the truth: Zero Company was never meant to serve the Republic. They were a beta test—for the Emperor’s future Death Troopers.

The Betrayal

As Order 66 was executed across the galaxy, Zero Company received their own command: 'Protocol Zero—Annihilation.' Their own Kaminoan creators had embedded a kill switch, and one by one, the clones began to collapse, their enhanced bodies failing.

Only Specter survived, his modifications making him resistant to the shutdown. Realizing he and his brothers had been nothing but expendable assets, he swore vengeance.

The Last Soldier of Zero Company

Now a rogue operative, Specter disappeared into the underworld, becoming a myth among bounty hunters and Imperial defectors. Some say he still fights—against the Empire, against the Kaminoans, against anyone who would use soldiers as pawns.

And somewhere in the Unknown Regions, the ruins of Zero Company’s hidden base remain, holding secrets that could shake the galaxy to its core…

The End… or Just the Beginning?

Would you like a sequel where Specter crosses paths with a young rebel named Kyle Katarn? Or perhaps a showdown with Darth Vader himself? The legend of Zero Company is waiting to be told…
