Kamino

Kamino is a water covered planet located in Wild Space, home to the Kaminoan race, and also the planet that produced the first batch of clones that would become the Grand Army of the Republic.

Creating the Clone Army

The original order placed for the clone army was at the request of Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas, in 32 BBY. The clone army would have probably been known to the rest of the galaxy, had Count Dooku not killed him.

Count Dooku then went on to recruit Jango Fett to be the template for the clone army, who only agreed on the condition that the Kaminoans make him an unalterned clone, Boba Fett.

Clone Wars

The planet was attack twice during the Clone Wars, the first attack occuring two months after the Battle fo Geonosis, and the second attack occuring 31 months after the Battle of Geonosis. Both battles ended in Republic victory.

Imperial Era

During the rule of the Galactic Empire, the planet was under careful observation by the Emperor, making sure that the cloning capabiliites of the planet would stay under Imperial control. This predictably upset some of the Kaminoans, thus leading to the creation of a small batch of "anti-trooper" clones, clone soldiers brought up to specifically fight the Empire. An Imperial force, led by Boba Fett, was tasked to supress this uprising and bring the cloning facilities under Imperial rule.

After the battle, which ended in an Imperial victory, the Emperor decided to diversify the Stormtrooper ranks, using different clone templates and even birth born soldiers.
