I like to think Alpha-17 has gained a sort of Boogeyman status among the CT cadets.

Think about it: He's an alpha class clone, known for his no-nonsense pragmatism and cantankerous disposition (even when talking to the Jedi!). He only trains very select elite types of clones such as commanders and ARCs, and some say he can even beat five Nulls in a fight all on his own (despite having been severely injured in the past!).

That has got to earn you both admiration from your smaller brothers, and also a little of bedtime terror fright. Because Alpha-17 would have no qualms taking any of them out early if they were a proven liability to the cause (he was willing to blow up the hatcheries if it meant the Seppies wouldn't get their hands on the Tubies and Jango's DNA, this man is not fucking around).

How many versions of "Don't go out after curfew or Big Bad Alpha-17 will get you" stories do you think there are? And do you think he'd be aware of his infamy among the cadets?

#star wars #the clone wars #alpha 17 #headcanons #They're all siblings but there's a clear clone hierarchy #and I'll bet the Alphas and Nulls are both admired and likely feared for their complicated moods/personalities #they were trained by some very cantankerous mandos (including Jango himself) it's only normal they'd be a little hard to get along with #plus they're also bigger and stronger so to a cadet they probably look like man shaped mountains #even if the cadets are training to be soldiers they are still children and perceive things as children would #and children tend to spin wild stories to freak each other out #for what it's worth I think Alpha-17 would know about the boogeyman stories and would probably roll his eyes #maybe have some fun with it by lightly freaking them out on purpose because training cadets on Kamino is becoming a little boring
