"Clones can think creatively. You will find that they are immensely superior to droids." Lama Su, to Obi-Wan Kenobi[src]

Cloning was the process of creating a biological replica of a living creature. That replica could be absolutely identical to its template or modified purposefully. For example, a clone could be made to grow at twice the rate of its template's aging.[1] The genetic structure of a clone could also be altered to make it more obedient than the original host.[2]

The Kaminoans, a species from the watery planet of Kamino, were reputed for their advanced cloning skills. Unknown to the Galactic Senate and the Jedi Council, the Kaminoans created an army of human clones for the Galactic Republic.[2] As soldiers, the clone troopers fought for the Republic in a conflict that, because of the soldiers involved, came to be known as the Clone Wars.[3]
