After landing on Kamino , D ' Pow found the DNA template vial in Tipoca City and took the item without attracting attention . D ' Pow also met with Kamino ' s Prime Minister , Lama Su , and requested a clone of herself because she felt lonely . Su , who did not realize that D ' Pow stole Fett ' s DNA template , authorized the order . The mission . After the Jedi learned about the Confederate plan to steal Fett ' s DNA template , Jedi General Obi - Wan Kenobi was dispatched to Kamino alongside a group of clone troopers . After Kenobi landed on Kamino , Su greeted the Jedi Knight , eager to know if the Republic ' s Grand Army had been satisfactory since their deployment . Kenobi , however , began to reveal the Jedi ' s knowledge of the Confederate plan to the Prime Minister . Shortly thereafter , Kenobi answered a holograph ic transmission from Jedi Master Mace Windu , who revealed that Dooku had hired D ' Pow to carry out the plan of stealing Fett ' s DNA template . As Kenobi and Windu conferred , D ' Pow revealed herself from a nearby hallway and attacked two clone troopers who stood near Kenobi . After killing the two soldiers , D ' Pow took out the DNA template vial and showed Kenobi before running outside the building . Su tried to stop Kenobi from chasing D ' Pow , although to no avail . Outside , the Zeltron jumped onto a flying Aiwha to escape from the pursuing Kenobi , although the Jedi Knight , likewise , leapt onto the same creature . As Kenobi utilized his lightsaber to stop her , D ' Pow took out her blaster pistol and shock whip , and a fight between the two broke out . When the Aiwha dived into the ocean , Kenobi and D ' Pow lost their weaponry and began to engage each other in hand - to - hand combat . D ' Pow , however , escaped after she pressed a button on her utility belt , which activated her speeder . Though she fled aboard her speeder , the Jedi Knight had recovered the stolen DNA template during their fight in the water and displayed the vial to the departing D ' Pow . Kenobi returned to Su , who was inside the building . When the Prime Minister told the Jedi Knight that he tried to stop him from chasing D ' Pow , Kenobi questioned his actions .
