Clone Force 99, unofficially known as the "Bad Batch" and designated as Experimental Unit Clone Force 99, was a Clone Commando Special Forces squad that was active during the Clone Wars. The squad initially consisted of four clone commandos that were designed with genetic mutations and led by Clone Sergeant "Hunter," a clone with enhanced sensory abilities. Other members of the squad included CT-9904 "Crosshair," a clone with keen eyesight and marksmanship that allowed him to excel in long-distance firefights, "Wrecker," a reckless clone with an enhanced muscular form, and "Tech," a clone with enhanced mental capacity and intelligence. Following the crucial Battle of Anaxes, Advanced Recon Commando Clone Corporal CT-1409 "Echo" joined the unit.

Most of the members' mutations and the ordeal Echo suffered prior to joining caused their inhibitor chips to have less effect, meaning Clone Force 99 was able to disobey Order 66, at least at first. Later, it is revealed that the members "Hunter", "Tech", "Wrecker" and "Echo" did in fact have inhibitor chips. After repeated direct head trauma, "Wrecker" began to exhibit signs of being affected by the Order, beginning with increasingly frequent headaches, and, when fully activated, attempting to terminate Clone Force 99, as they were considered traitors due to the fact that they had disobeyed Order 66. With the Declaration of a New Order and the rise of the First Galactic Empire from the shell of the Republic, Clone Force 99 — with the exception of Crosshair, whose chip had functioned properly — deserted from the Empire and escaped from Kamino with a young female clone named Omega.
