Tipoca City / Legends Tipoca City was the capital city of Kamino and the site of a major cloning facility . It was also where the bounty hunter Jango Fett , the template for the clone army , lived for a time . Jango ' s clone " son " Boba Fett lived with him . Description . Kamino ' s capital , Tipoca City , consisted of a network of stilt structures that spanned more than a hundred kilometers along Kamino ' s western equator and was considered by many to be the heart of Kaminoan society . The millions of Kaminoans who occupied Tipoca worked either with the cloning program or with the bureaucracy . No Kaminoans took residence within the city , nor was there any public space . Nearly all Kaminoans who worked within the city lived in numerous satellite cities situated around the capital . Constant traffic ran to and from Tipoca , as workers , bureaucrats , and many others traveled to and from their homes . The only living space in the city was the quarters of the prime minister and the military staff , and a group of apartments for cloning scientists . The scientists resided in Tipoca in alternating shifts of three months each before returning to their homes and families . Aside from the governmental and clone manufacturing functions , Tipoca City also served as the seat of both the Kamino Space Control and the Kamino Planetary Defense Forces . Most of the Space Control ' s data came from the huge communication towers that dominated much of the city ' s skyline . Largely due to the cloning facilities importance to Kamino , the Planetary Defense Forces were coordinated from Tipoca . The city relied on passive measures ( in form of energy shielding ) and more " pro - active " turbolaser emplacements . Because the defensive shields provided little protection against troop invasions , the KPD also retained thousands of Kaminoan soldiers in the barracks . Tipoca City ' s architecture was influenced by two primary architectural styles originating from Alderaan and Kashyyyk . The concept for the city being built on stilts was derived from the Alderaanian Oversea style . Middle - period Krorral was adopted in the form of the sweeping and centralized dome structures . An additional appeal of the Krorral element was that the rain - sloughing nature of the architecture bore numerous similarities to the first Kaminoan land colonies . Most all of these buildings where accented by high power lightning rods , dotting most platforms , even minor ones . If a rod was damaged , however , and lightning struck the rod , a fundamental design flaw would prompt the lightning rod , and usually the whole platform it stood on , to explode . Places in Tipoca City included Cargo Platform C - 22 , Security Sector Six , the Central Armory , and Level Nine . The clone military education complex was where the Galactic Republic ' s Grand Army was trained . History . The city was established after Kamino ' s climate changed and the entire planet flooded . During the First Battle of Kamino , Tipoca City was the prime target of the Separatist forces intent on destroying the Republic Army . The city escaped disaster , but was later damaged in another battle of the Clone Wars , as well as a clone rebellion during the Imperial Period . Due to the declining Kaminoan economy , it remained a run - down shadow of its former elegance . Behind the scenes . Tipoca City first appeared with the release of and its tie - ins . The designs of Tipoca City draw inspiration from numerous sources , including massive offshore oil derricks and the retro curved science fiction cities of pulp magazines . For the city ' s interior , the designers crafted a clean , ultramodern and antiseptic environment of shimmering white , recalling the stark color palette of George Lucas ' first feature film , THX - 1138 . Very little of Tipoca City was actually built full - scale . Jango Fett ' s apartment module and the landing platform were realized as sets , but most of the tour of the clone facility was realized through the use of miniatures .
