#alpha 30

Sitting down and watching Hank Hill and trailer park boys with all the alpha arcs would cure my depression and fix me

I headcanon that the alpha arc’s when their on their own their forces to be reckoned with but when you get them all together they’ve got -1,000,000 brain cells between them. Like you walk into their barracks and the first thing you noticed it’s loud af, theirs graffiti all over the walls, its hot as shit, there is no main singular source of light in the whole place, but it’s not stinky or dirty in their barracks at all tho because their better than that. But you got a group over in one corner playing an intense game of sabbac, another group in the other corner that can’t stop wheezing over some stupid joke, somebody’s working on something so theirs machine parts all over the floor down one of the isles, one guys parkoring up the wall, theres a couple of them trying to out drink the other, somebody’s trying to light a fire in a garbage bin even tho it’s alright hot af in there, there’s music blaring from a radio somewhere, someone’s smoking something and it’s fogging up the whole place, ya got a bunch of them on the top bunks playing the ultimate game of catch and nearly toppling all the bunks, there’s an ongoing arm wrestling championship happening in the middle of the room and there’s a whole crowd of them cheering them on and keeping score, your gonna hear the loudest belches and yawns you’ve ever heard in your life, if they got windows in there their all open and fogged up and they got a big ass fan going in the back of the room, there’s another guy across the way getting a tattoo, another guy by the far wall trying to do his own piercing in a broken mirror while trying not to get bumped into by the other guys that are running laps around the barracks, somehow one of them is absolutely passed out taking the fattest nap of their life in the midst of all of this, above him on the top bunk another guy is stoned and got snacks he’s working on, a bunch of them are sparing in the front and it’s getting a little overly violent, there’s a food fight going on somewhere in the middle isles and the entire ceiling is covered in posters and photos and shit. It’s chaotic for sure but not frat boy chaotic oh no, it’s more a controlled but unsupervised ‘older siblings were left in charge and now illegal things are happening’ kind of chaotic.

I don’t think we talk about the fact that the alpha class clones straight up get stasis chambered until their useful for a little while then put them back again. Like they winter soldiered 100 of our boys and no body ever mentions it. I don’t recall the Nulls getting put in stasis like that and CT’s were never treated like that until the days of the empire probably. The Bad Batch was never stasised like that except for when they were developing. So why do it to the Alphas? We know that they were like the second batch of clones after the nulls right, because they were unsatisfied with how independent and rebellious the nulls turned out. So they made the Alphas more loyal to the republic through rigorous flash training to mold them into being unquestioning loyal to the republic. They were trained by Jango himself so they were the best trained clones Kamino could produce. Sure they didn’t have inhibitor chips and they could have rebelled without that stopping them, but to our knowledge only the prime minister, Palpatine and a couple others could activate them, and the effects wore off with time. But to escape Kamino or desert on the field they would have to escape all of their brothers, and while they may be alpha class they don’t have the sheer numbers the CT’s do. Clones whose chips didn’t work were ordered to executed by other clones as well, so it’s not like the kaminoans didn’t have a back up plan if a few chips didn’t work right. It’s not like the chips were a huge well kept secret, it was just the conspiracy behind it. When Tup broke down and the matter of the chip came out they told the Jedi what they were point blank but they just didn’t tell the whole truth as to why. Meaning the alphas were never really a big part of the order 66 conspiracy, they were just supposed to be test subjects. Like how the unintended oldest child becomes an experiment for parents to learn the right and wrong ways to care for the kids to come. That’s what the alphas are, what they were intended to be. That’s what the nulls ended up being too, though in a bit of a different way. Where the nulls were adopted by their trainers and brought into their family’s then fled the empire with them to settle down all the alphas ever had was Jango. I feel that’s why the nulls and alphas had such a huge rift between them, while created for the same purpose their circumstances were radically different, creating this type of cruel, forced sibling rivalry because they were constantly pitted against each other. And when Jango died the alphas had no one to protect them from being overly exploited (further than what they already were being anyway), had no one to advocate for them, be a parental figure or keep the kaminoans and other viscous trainers from abusing them and putting them through cruel medical procedures. So I suppose that answers the question of why stasis them; it was to be cruel. There was no real significant tactical advantage to keeping them sedated and locked away until they were useful. It was for the purpose of control and keeping fear in the minds of every clone on Kamino. Because if they could do that to the alpha clones who were the republics finest soldiers, the best Kamino ever produced, just imagine what they would do to an expendable CT. Not to mention that we have no canon evidence to what ever happened to the Alphas after the war, their not really mentioned after that they just kinda drop out of the story line. But imagine that when Kamino was being evacuated after the empires take over they were still in stasis and instead of taking them the empire thought they weren’t worth the trouble and left them for dead. Just something to keep on the brain, ya know?
