Purged from the otherwise complete Jedi Archives is all evidence of the mysterious world of Kamino. A lonely world beyond the Outer Rim and just south of the Rishi Maze, few could have predicted that Kamino would become a key contributor to a massive shift in political power in the final days of the Republic.
Kamino is a planet of endless oceans and storms. Few features mark its surface, save for massive stilt-mounted cities wherein reside the planet's natural inhabitants, the Kaminoans. From Tipoca City, the planet's Prime Minister rules. Lama Su closely monitored the operations of Kamino's most prized export: clones.
Burtoni represented her homeworld of Kamino in the Galactic Senate, lobbying hard to maintain -- or increase -- her planet's clone trooper production during the Clone Wars.
Kamino was the source of all the clone troopers serving in the Grand Army of the Republic. The clones rightly think of the laboratories and military barracks as their home and will defend it fiercely.
Investigating assassination attempts on Senator Amidala led Obi-Wan Kenobi to discover Kamino, a planet apparently erased from the memory systems of the Jedi Archives.
When Jango became the clone template, he lived in a sterile apartment on Kamino, serving as a genetic source and tending to his son, Boba. On rare occasions, he would leave the planet on bounty hunting assignments.
For much of the war, Shaak Ti was stationed in Tipoca City on Kamino, personally overseeing the development of new clone troopers.
