**Lama Su** was an male Kaminoan who'd hailed from their race of expert clone manufacturers from their planet of Kamino. As an Kaminoan Prime Minister, he had personally overseen their making of the Clone Trooper army of a Galactic Republic from Tipoca City, the capital of his home world. Although Kamino's contribution to the Republic Military gained Lama Su's people a seat in the Republic's Galactic Senate during the Clone War, the actions of these cloners were also partially responsible for a systematic extermination for most the population in the Jedi Order and a rise of Dark Lord Darth Sidious's Galactic Empire. He'd served as a Prime Minister for Kamino before and during a galaxy-wide Clone War, and for the cloners efforts in making the first Clone trooper armies the storm-swept world then had gained influence within an Galactic Republic's goverment, but also made it a target of enemy Confederacy battle droid force.

## Biography

### Prime Minister of Kamino

#### Request for the Clone Army

By a point thirty two years before the Galactic Civil War, **Lama Su** was the Prime Minister of Kamino, and thus he also served as head of the world's Ruling Council of Colony Governors. At around this same time, Chancellor Palpatine, a public persona of a Dark Lord Darth Sidious, manipulated a Jedi Sifo-Dyas so to secretly place an order for the creation of a clone army with their cloners on Kamino. Due to the Kaminoans preference for isolation and a Prime Minister Su's own limited understanding of this greater galaxy, he'd never considered consequences of what such a army would have for the future. Instead, Lama Su saw the proposal as a business opportunity for the Kaminoans.

Over the next decade, Lama Su and his scientists developed the first generation of Clone Troopers, all based on genetic code of bounty hunter Jango Fett. Aside from his role as a template, Jango also assisted Lama Su as an advisor, and so the two closely monitored the training of the Clones. During the development phase of the clone army, Lama Su ordered the cloners to heavily modify the clone subjects in accordance with the instructions to engineer all soldiers programmed with absolute loyalty. The Prime Minister of Kamino Lama saw to it that the clones were made with greater docility and a diminished sense of individuality. Through such modifications, the Prime Minister Lama Su was confident that their army as a whole would be completely subservient; capable of obeying any of the orders they'd receive without any questions.

#### Deployment of Clone Armies

When the Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi visited Kamino a decade after Sifo-Dyas' death, Lama Su and Taun We assumed that he came to inspect their progress of Clone Troopers. The Prime Minister assured Kenobi that the project proceeded on schedule, and that two-hundred thousand combat-ready units would be joined by a million more clones an imminent future. In Lama Su's eagerness to impress this Jedi Knight guest with a tour of Kamino's creations, Lama Su overlooked Obi-Wan Kenobi's apparent ignorance of the cloning project. Shortly after Obi-Wan had reported his findings to the Jedi High Council, a Supreme Chancellor Palpatine organized Lama Su's Clone Troopers into the Grand Army of the Galactic Republic and placed them under the command of Jedi. With the formation of Confederacy of Independent Systems, the Galactic Republic deployed Clone armies against the Confederate droid army, thus initiating the galaxy-wide Clone War.

Jango Fett's death at the beginning of the Clone Wars left the Kaminoans with a limited supply of genetic samples. They were forced to adopt alternative strategies in order to continue their production of clone troopers, such as their breeding new clones from the DNA of existing clones. Lama Su was less than impressed by some of an younger generated clone generations, and so he recommended to Jedi Master Shaak Ti that a new template would have to be selected if the Jedi hoped to maintain an army of efficient troopers. As such, the Kaminoan Prime Minister was forced to find new ways of a means to resupply a Grand Army of the Republic. Lama was greatly disappointed in these Clone Troopers his alternative cloning methods produced. When Jedi Master Shaak Tiapproached him to discuss the failure of Domino Squad, he then suggested its members be terminated. Hoping to make more successful troops, Su requested a new template be found.

#### Conspiracy of the Protocol 66

He'd later went with Master Ti to welcome the Jedi Obi-Wan, Anakin Skywalker, and the 501st Legion to Tipoca City. He was surprised to learn that the Separatists intended to attack Kamino, despite the Republic military blockade which had surrounded his homeworld. In preparation for the coming battle, Lama Su positioned himself within Tipoca City's central command center. Near the end of the war, Su was approached by Nala Se, who informed him Protocol 66 had activated prematurely in CT-5385. Su contacted Lord Darth Tyranus to share this news with him and was ordered to terminate the clone so an autopsy could be performed on his body. He was also instructed to remove this clone's bio-chip and send it to Tyranus before the Jedi could learn the true nature of their chip. In the aftermath of war, most Jedi were betrayed then killed by the clones after Palpatine declared all Jedi as traitors of the Republic. Su's clone armies were ultimately pivotal factor not only in a Sith plot for revenge against Jedi, but also for Sidious's rise to power as Emperor of Galactic Empire.
