Fifty-seven years after his completion, the clone, Orono Zoiji as he was later known, was picked up by a passing squad of Stormtroopers. On the way back to their Genesis-class freighter, Orono convinced the troopers Torch and Viper, who were also clone survivors that even though the Empire had taught them well, they hadn’t taught them everything. He proceeded to implant a surge of Force power into his comrades, dubbing them “Neo Jedi”. This act combined with proof from Orono’s cryo-sleep observations that the Empire had butchered their creators caused Viper and their division the 901st Infantry (a.k.a. “White Locusts”), one hundred billion soldiers to join him and go rogue.
