Clone trooper pilots, who are also referred to as clone pilots, were clone troopers identified early for their exceptional reflexes and spatial reasoning, leading to their selection for pilot training. These clones operated a variety of ships and land-based vehicles. Throughout the Clone Wars, these pilots were assigned to vehicles such as the Low Altitude Assault Transport series, V-19 Torrent starfighters, Clone Z-95 Headhunters, ARC-170 starfighters, and Alpha-3 Nimbus-class V-wing starfighters.
It was also possible for clone trooper pilots to achieve various military ranks. For example, Hawk held the rank of Clone Lieutenant during the Battle of Teth, while Jag was a Clone Captain, and Odd Ball attained the rank of Clone Commander. Those clone pilots specifically responsible for piloting an All Terrain Tactical Enforcer were designated as AT-TE Drivers.
During the period of the Clone Wars, clone pilots utilized at least three distinct types of pilot armor. Phase I pilot armor largely mirrored that of standard trooper armor, except for the absence of a fin on their helmets. While not universally adopted by AT-TE Drivers, some of these pilots wore the armor adorned with grey and gold markings. During the era of Phase II armor, two variations emerged. One variant featured identical body armor to the standard Phase II armor but incorporated a unique helmet design. The second variant included a blue bodysuit with plating covering the torso, along with smaller plating on the knees and elbows. This variant also used an open helmet design. Subsequently, clone pilots continued their service under the Galactic Empire as Imperial Starfighter Pilots.
