"LIKE A VISION OF HELL ITSELF. FIRE, TWISTED METAL, A CHARRED FLAG..."
PIC INFO: Resolution at 1019x1777 -- Spotlight on the Supreme Martial Commander of the Separatist Droid Armies, General Grievous, during the victorious aftermath of the Battle of Duro by the Confederacy, from the pages of "STAR WARS: Insider" #75, c. April, 2004. Artwork by Joe Corroney.
"So, the Republic would have the galaxy believe that its heart is secure. Today's events, however, show that there is nothing that can stop our forces from total victory."
-- General GRIEVOUS, referring to the invasion (and eventual conquest) of Duro by the Confederacy, c. 20.2 BBY
"I pictured something that shows off his evilness. Like a vision of hell itself. Fire, twisted metal, a charred flag, a new flag erected, and an angry yet victorious general in the middle. The HNN [Holonet News] story mentions it was glimpsed in a hologram, so that gets us around the need of having to be 100 percent color-accurate. That is, you can put a "slight" holographic sheen to the image (I wouldn't suggest going duotone -- you're gonna want those reds in there)."
-- JOE CORRONEY (SW artist) on his SWI Grievous piece

Just imagine if Nine learned of the star wars clone army.
I mean...
There are two ways to look at this, the first being the way you probably intended with Nine cloning an army of himself and/or Sonic because that would be terrifying.
But, personally, I don’t see Nine as much of a geneticist. I think he is smart enough to figure it out and yes, he could clone someone if he wanted to. However, I would see Nine doing a more Shadow-Android approach like in Sonic Heroes rather than flesh and blood clones. Androids are easier to fix, build, and if he loses one, he can just replicate the programing on to another model and try again.
Aka, Nine would be more interested in the Droid army, not the clone army. He doesn't like social interaction and droids would fall into that zone while clones have the nasty habit of learning to think for themselves and having personalities, gross.
Me irl: fuck the military, its imperialism, its sadomasochistic culture, its misogyny and homophobia and racism, and I know their recruiters often target low income folks with their propaganda and promises of education and travel, but fuck the bros who make their job their identity and use it as an excuse for their bad behavior in civilian life FUCK THOSE CAMO CLAD FUCKERS IN WALMART 😤
