Damn good ones too.' ―Dexter Jettster Īt some point the planet was not covered in water, and the Kaminoans built a large land-based civilization. ' These, uh, Kaminoans keep to themselves. During some parts of the year was covered with heavy electrical storms, where Kaminoans rode on aiwhas underwater and resurfaced once they were near their destination. Due to the remoteness of the planet and its extensive rainy season, only occasional representatives of clone purchasing authorities were undeterred from visiting the world. The majority of these cities were devoted to cloning projects, as the highly intelligent Kaminoans specialized in cloning for clients needing workers or private security forces, along with other one-off requests. The native Kaminoans lived on stilt-cities scattered across Kamino's watery surface. Kamino was a remote and inhospitable planet which was covered in oceans that held an abundance of life. It was located twelve parsecs away from the Rishi Maze dwarf satellite galaxy, Due to this, it was sometimes classed as extragalactic.

Located seventy thousand light-years from the Core Worlds, in the Abrion sector, of Wild Space. Kamino, homeworld of the Kaminoan cloners, was largely isolated from the greater galaxy. I'd say about, uh, 12 parsecs… outside the Rishi Maze.' ―Obi-Wan Kenobi and Dexter Jettster During the early days of the Galactic Empire, with the cloning program halted, the Empire cleared out the cloning facilities on the planet and destroyed all major facilities on the planet, including the capital, Tipoca City. With the outbreak of the Clone Wars, Kamino became a prime target for the Confederacy of Independent Systems and a vital asset for the Republic, resulting in at least two attempts to invade the watery world. Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi, who was investigating the attempt to assassinate Padmé Amidala, traced the bounty hunter Jango Fett to the planet, where he discovered the cloning program. Largely isolated from the wider galaxy, Kamino's existence was erased from the Jedi records by Count Dooku. They were also known for their cloning technology, which was used to create a clone army for the Galactic Republic. It was inhabited by the Kaminoans-a race of tall, elegant beings with long necks who were regarded as a mysterious species that tended to keep to themselves. It was sometimes considered extragalactic due to being in close proximity to the Rishi Maze dwarf satellite galaxy. Kamino (pronounced / kə'minoʊ/) was an aquatic planet located in a remote star system in Wild Space of the galaxy. ' With all due respect, General, if someone comes to our home, they better be carrying a big blaster.' ― CT-7567 'Rex,' to Obi-Wan Kenobi
