Background: Tipoca City was the capital city of the watery planet Kamino, and home to several million Kaminoans. The city was a network of domed structures built atop stilts over 150 kilometers at Kamino’s equator. It served as a major military base for the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars, and was the location of the Kaminoan cloning facilities that created the army prior to the war.
The city was also the main fighting ground during the Battle of Kamino, which saw the Republic’s enemy, the Confederacy of Independent Systems, launch an assault on the city to cripple the Republic’s production of clone troopers. At the time of the Clone Wars, Prime Minister Lama Su led Kamino’s government from the city. Early on into the Galactic Empire’s reign, Kamino’s cloning facilities, including those at Tipoca City, were shut down. It was then destroyed by Vice Admiral Rampart under the orders of Governor Wilhuff Tarkin, after all clones were reassigned and essential personnel were evacuated.
