Artificially Tailored Human Analogue

Artificially Tailored Human Analogues, often known simply as ATHAs' were a specific type of clone created by Spaarti Creations. They were created using the owner of Spaarti Creations, Cadmus Spaarti, as their genetic base and were tweaked through gene therapy, chemicals introduced during the growth stage and specifically tailored DNA strands to sport various biological advantages over basic Humans. These advantages included enhanced strength and reaction speed, as well as improved mental processing speed, endurance, immune systems and healing capacity.

Unlike the majority of clones created by Spaarti Creations the ATHA was not flash imprinted with knowledge and generally not designed to be unerringly loyal, unlike regular clone troopers. The ATHA took much longer to cultivate than regular Spaarti clones, anywhere between two and four years, but were highly superior warriors, matching and in some ways exceeding the Kaminoan ARC troopers and commanders. However, it was found that there was a tendancy for ATHAs to suffer notable mental illnesses after around ten years, compounded by rapid biological degeneration and aging not too long after that. For this reason, the Artificially Tailored Human Analogue was not used to fill the role of general troopers, usually being created specifically for a particular special force or bodyguard group.
