-There have been several spinoff novels and short stories from the computer game ''[[Star Wars: Republic Commando]]'', known as the '''''Republic Commando'' Series'''. Although there is a degree of [[intertextuality]] between these stories, they can be split into several defined story arcs that can be read individually from each other. Although [[clone commando]]s appear in many stories, such as ''[[Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader]]'' and ''[[Jedi Trial]]'', this list only deals with direct spinoffs from the Republic Commando franchise. The Science Fiction book club released an edition of the first two Republic Commando books in an omnibus hardcover.
