BREAKING: CLONE SOLDIERS STORM PIRATE BASE ON UNINHABITED MOON

In a daring operation, clone soldiers inserted onto the surface of the mostly uninhabited moon of Thebe have successfully dismantled a notorious pirate base. The soldiers, equipped with advanced VD-Pulsar rifles and Carbenex armor, fought their way past a battalion of combat drones and a squadron of hovertanks, suffering light casualties. The pirates, caught off guard, were unable to withstand the clones' relentless assault. The base has been secured, and the pirates eliminated. This marks a major victory in the ongoing campaign against space piracy.
See the video, you'll wonder why the pirates even bothered!

Soldiers Born

Exemplars are big, strong, a little on the dull side, and gruff. Their hide is naturally thick, and green. The markers for melanin have been swapped out to produce chlorophyll to offset their increased calorie requirements. Their features are inhumanly blunt, and just their thickly muscled mass is intimidating to those who aren't used to it. The fat distribution of their bodies are carefully engineered to protect and insulate organs from damage and cold. They have in their massive chest cavities organs that are oversized, efficient, and redundant. They can survive injuries that would kill most baseline humans, including falls at terminal velocity at 1 G. They are trained in the tank in a soldier's art, and their focus is on being line infantry and shock troops. Exemplar commandos are rare, and often illegal.

Naming Traditions
