Kamino - Definition and Overview

Kamino is a world in the fictional Star Wars universe. It was here that the Clone Army for the Republic was generated. It is inhabited by a race of tall, elegant creatures, called Kaminoans, who keep to themselves and are known for their cloning technology. Obi-Wan Kenobi was directed here to follow a lead on the whereabouts of Senator Amidala's would-be assassin through a single poison dart. During Obi-Wan's stay on Kamino at Tipoca City, he discovered the source of the Clone Army's genetic code, one Jango Fett and his "son," Boba Fett.

Once he was discovered, Jango and Boba narrowly escaped the planet with Obi Wan close behind. Yoda later returned and brought a contingent of these clone warriors to assist in the rescue of Obi-Wan, Anakin, Padme, and the Jedi Knights at the end of Attack of the Clones to begin the fabled Clone Wars. When the Separatists discovered the source of the clones, they launched an attack on Kamino, but the Battle of Kamino was won by the Republic.
