The 228th Black Ops were a very small specialized battalion of clones in the Grand Army of the Republic Which eventually grew into a very large Corps. They are a special ops branch from the 10th System Army. It consisted of three companies which included: Shadow Company, Steel Company, and Onyx Company, all of which have the same camouflage with various color alterations for their armor. Many members of the 228th were encouraged to camouflage their weapons to match their armor, this was because the 228th would often conduct stealth operations and act behind enemy lines and black was often seen as one of the worst colors to have your weapon as it didn't blend into any environment. Except for the Darkness...
Unlike many clone military organizations the 228th didn't train their members since the beginning of their clone lives, but instead, hand-picked clones who excelled in combat movement and tactical theory. This was because they valued the thought and theory of combat more than the run and gun tactics clones were often trained to use.
After clones were chosen for joining the 228th, they were trained in the basics in all kinds of different sections of specialization, i.e. Engineering, Medical Knowledge, disarming explosives, hacking, close combat, torture, etc.
***NOTE*** this story is constantly developing. The 228th's Main history is completed, smaller side missions will still be developed continually!!!
