In the fictional Star Wars, the Clone trooper pilots were Clone troopers bred in Kamino for the purpose of piloting the air vehicles of the Republic Army. They could fly anything from a LAAT/i gunship to a Venator-class Star Destroyer. Their uniforms featured yellow markings and specialized helmets.They first appeared during the Battle of Geonosis where they flew the LAAT/i gunships and LAAT/c cargo gunships.

When the ranks of the Army of the Republic were revamped with new armor midway through The Clone Wars, the clone pilots also were revamped, wearing a blue jumpsuit reminiscent of later pilot flightsuits with one of two helmets; either an enclosed pilot helmet very similar in design to the standard clone helmets, but with black markings, or a helmet that had the face exposed. The latter helmet is a cross between the helmets of pilots of the Rebel Alliance and Imperial Stormtrooper pilots of the Galactic Empire, as seen in the original Star Wars trilogy. Many of these newly clad pilots were then reassigned to the recently unveiled Venator-class Star Destroyers and ARC-170 starfighters.
