The majestic peak of Mount Tantiss contains many secrets. Inside the secret Imperial base on the world of Wayland, the planet’s natural beauty hides a beastly laboratory. The facility is run by Dr. Royce Hemlock, head of the Empire's Advanced Science Division, in his quest to complete Project Necromancer and develop the Clone X series. Utilizing the cloning technology stolen from Kamino, Hemlock oversees ghastly experimentation on clone prisoners and a small group of children kept in a secret vault, as well as other top-secret initiatives known only to high-ranking Imperials.
