ARC‑7721 was created on Kamino like millions of others-engineered for obedience, precision, and war. But from the moment he opened his eyes, something about him was wrong. Or perhaps... something about him was *different*.
He does not feel fear.
He does not feel anger.
He does not feel *anything* the way a clone should.
Where his brothers react, he calculates.
Where they hesitate, he advances.
Where Jedi sense life, they sense nothing at all.
To the Force, ARC‑7721 is a void.
General Anakin Skywalker is the first to notice the anomaly. Shaak Ti is the first to fear it. And the Sith are the first to try to destroy it.
When a rogue acolyte tears off his arm and nearly kills him, ARC‑7721 should have died. Instead, he evolves. Rebuilt with a stronger cybernetic limb and driven by a growing, inexplicable resonance, he begins to change in ways no clone ever has.
A Mandalorian warrior tests his limits.
A Sith returns to finish what he started.
And Kratos-his newly given name-discovers weapons, instincts, and memories that should not exist.
He is not a Jedi.
He is not a Sith.
He is not a soldier following orders.
He is an anomaly the Force cannot predict...
and cannot ignore.
As battles escalate and shadows gather, Kratos must confront the truth behind what he is becoming-
a weapon forged by war, shaped by the void, and destined to stand outside the fate of every clone who came before him.
