Kamino

Kamino was an extragalactic aquatic planet located beyond the Outer Rim of the galaxy and south of the Rishi Maze. Inhabited by a race of tall, elegant beings known as the Kaminoans, the massive stilt-mounted cities in which they resided also served as the site of their cloning operations — reputed to be the best in the galaxy, though hitherto known only to a few — and therefore served as the source for the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic, who were called into service during the Clone Wars from 22 BBY to 19 BBY.
Largely isolated from the galaxy, Kamino was erased from the Archives of the Jedi Temple by Count Dooku. Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi, who was investigating the attempt to assassinate Senator Padmé Amidala of Naboo, traced the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett to the planet, where he discovered the army, cloned from Fett himself. With the outbreak of the Clone Wars, Kamino became a prime target for the Separatists and a vital asset for the Republic, resulting in at least two attempts to invade the watery world. Early into the reign of the Galactic Empire, with the cloning program ended, the Empire cleared out the cloning facilities on the planet and destroyed all major facilities on the planet, including the capital Tipoca City, relocating the Kaminoans' key medical personnel and cloning technology for their Imperial cloning program.
