Kamino

Kamino is an extragalactic water planet located beyond the Outer Rim, South of the Rishi Maze.

Ecological Disaster
Around 19,000 ABG, Kamino had a regular balance of land mass and oceans. Extreme climate shifts caused ice caps to melt, giving way to extremely high water levels that flooded the planet. The surviving Kaminoans ent to high ground such as mountains to build homes. This results in the stilt cities of Kamino. During that time Kaminoas began breeding selectively to get the strongest offspring to survive the planet's harsh conditions. This would start the process of their fascination with genetics, eventually entering the advanced field of actual genetic modification, through Cloning.

Cloners
The Kaminoans were known as cloners, specializing in selling mercenary armies. Their most notable was the Fett Clone Army which served as the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars and Rise of the Empire.
