Description:
While only a select few know of the Kaminoans, they are recognized by those in the know as as the preeminent cloners in the galaxy.
The gentle and seemingly naive aminoans possess a scientific cunning that allows them to excel in the genetic manipulation of
numerous species. They have, in the past, completed orders of questionable ethics, creating armed forces.
They take pride in their work, never appearing to think of the consequences of their craftsmanship. The largest and bestknown
example of their clone armies is the one they crafted specifically for the Republic. Fulfilling an order apparently commissioned
by Jedi Master SifoDyas, the Kaminoans used a bounty hunter named Jango Fett as the template for their human army. The end result
was a military force of alarming skill, speed and efficiency.
Kaminoans are tall, slender beings with glassy eyes, elongated necks, and pale skin. The males of their species often have
prominent headfins, a throwback to their evolutionary roots found in the oceans of Kamino. The Kaminoans inhabit the stilt cities
of their planet, with the largest concentration residing in Tipoca City. When the planet Kamino began to come out from the deep
freeze of an ice age, and its oceans swelled with melting ice, the native inhabitants were forced to adapt. Pushed to the brink
of survival, the Kaminoans perfected cloning technology and practiced selective breeding to keep their species viable.
The struggle for survival instilled in the Kaminoans an austerity that rejects materialism common in other cultures. A stroll
through a Kaminoan city reveals a stark minimalism of seemingly colorless walls and structures. Beings capable of seeing the
ultraviolet spectrum, however, will note that the Kaminoans do indeed have a decorative sense. Kamino was in need of raw
materials, so the Kaminoans traded their genetic sciences expertise in return for necessary imports. Though few know of their
world, those that do laud the Kaminoans for their cloning skills. The mining colonies on Subterrel employed Kaminomade cloned
workers and they have in the past crafted clone armed forces.
Though outwardly polite, the Kaminoans foster an intolerance of imperfection. They see such flaws as potential poisons to an ideal
gene pool. They closely monitor their cloning projects for any deviations in biochemistry, subjecting wayward clones to extensive
conditioning to pull them back in line.
Kaminoans have very little interest in life beyond their solar system, other than the imports needed by their society. They are
detached from the arena of galactic events and have no concerns regarding the repercussions of their breakthroughs.
Special Abilities:
Hardy: Due to their innate hardiness, Kaminoans gain a permanent +2 pip bonus to Survival
and Stamina skill checks.
Ultraviolet Vision: Kaminoans can see into the Ultraviolet spectrum, meaning that Kaminoans
gain no penalties from Low Light conditions, although Pitch Black conditions effect them normally.
Advanced Medical Knowledge: Although specialised in Cloning Technology, Kaminoans have
knowledge of all types of medicine, giving a bonus 2D to their First Aid and Medicine.
Introverted Culture: Kaminoans have a well rounded education system leaving all members of
their species knowledgable and well educated, except where other species are involved due to the introverted nature of their
civilisation. This means that a Kaminoan may not begin with the skills Alien Species, Cultures, Languages, Planetary Systems or
Streetwise.
Special Skills:
Rare: Kaminoans rarely leave their home system, meaning that other species have little idea
of their language, culture or medical needs, something which causes problems for the few Kaminoans who do venture out into the
galaxy.
Intolerance: Kaminoans dislike imperfection, this means that they try to correct this
imperfection whenever they can, for example with their clones. However it also means that they are somewhat intolerant of those
they see as imperfect, and may look down and treat with distain those that they find lacking. Groups which Kaminoans disdain are
those such as the homeless, the longterm ill, cripples, and the very poor.
Cloners: Kaminoans are known as clone technicians. Kaminoans turned to cloning early in
their history, to better assist in the survival of their species.
