L'othaim would make an ultimate soldier. The clones he'd helped create in the past were already enhanced. But they could always be better. L'othaim had the knowledge, the skill. He would make this one soldier the best of the best. 

  "Alright," he said aloud. He studied the little life form floating inside the birth tank. He checked the number attached to the glass. "6-4-2, is it? Well, 642, you will be the greatest super soldier to ever grace the galaxy. Let's get started."

  Follow the creation of a misplaced little 642, later to call himself Stallone, and his journey through life as he tries to find his place in the vast universe. 

(also the first draft has exactly 642 words which was unintentional and I love it)

(****I will also be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com, and you might find it on some other writing forums too lol)

Uncertainty is our lot in life, for the future is never what you expect. Uncertainty in years. Uncertainty in days. Uncertainty in what you'll recollect. ~ CT-8870 -- Among the masses of identical faces that reside on the rain-drenched planet of Kamino, CT-8870 is an oddity. He's been created to serve amongst the ranks of the Grand Army of the Republic--even earned himself a specialty in sharpshooting--but unlike his clone 'brothers', CT-8870 has grown to value anonymity. Anonymity, after all, is what keeps safe from the scourges of his Kaminoan overlords. He's even evaded a name in favor of keeping to the background. His marginal hopes for his short life are quickly rearranged when he's inducted into the squad he'll be serving alongside. Amongst his new brothers, the army's signature fire and tenacity mix seamlessly with cavalier misadventures and even a type pf gentleness CT-8870 hasn't encountered since his childhood. Suddenly, the galaxy seems wider than ever before. Opportunities to learn and grow into something more than a soldier beam around every corner, but so does the ever-present threat of death. Or worse, the threat of loss. Could allowing himself to indulge in these two bonds, to fall into the camaraderie that is brotherhood, possibly be worth the risk of having it all stripped away? With tomorrow ever uncertain, CT-8870 is forced to step into the fog and shadows of the galaxy as well as the war. There is no such thing as stagnation in life, after all. There is no going backward--only forward. -- Inspired by Star Wars: The Clone Wars, but is largely original in nature. Crossposted to Ao3. Updates once weekly until I run out of content, then closer to once monthly.
