Clone trooper pilots, also known as clone pilots, were clone troopers that, due to having particularly good reflexes and spatial awareness, were spotted early and brought into pilot training. The clones piloted various ships and ground vehicles. Over the course of the Clone Wars, pilots were placed within vehicles like the Low Altitude Assault Transport-family, V-19 Torrent starfighters, Clone Z-95 Headhunters, ARC-170 starfighters, and Alpha-3 Nimbus-class V-wing starfighters.
An AT-TE Driver
Clone trooper pilots were also able to possess military ranks. Hawk held the rank of Clone Lieutenant during the Battle of Teth, Jag held the rank of Clone Captain, and Odd Ball held the rank of Clone Commander. Clone pilots who were tasked with controlling an All Terrain Tactical Enforcer were known as AT-TE Drivers.
Throughout the Clone Wars, pilots wore at least three types of pilot armor. Phase I pilot armor was mostly the same as their trooper counterparts, but their helmet lacked a fin. While not all AT-TE Drivers adopted it, some such pilots wore the armor with grey and gold markings. During the days of Phase II armor, two variants came to exist. One variant had identical body armor to the Phase II armor, but had a different helmet. The second variant had a blue bodysuit, and plating covering the torso, as well as minor plating covering the knees and elbows. The helmet was open. Clone pilots served the Galactic Empire as Imperial Starfighter Pilots.
