Lost for countless aeons from all the cool records, until a rather nosey Jedi by the name of Obi-Wan Kenobi rolled up for a local surfing competition, Kamino is a planet totally coated with raging waters and clouded by stormy skies. The lack of land makes it hard for the native Kaminoans to hold barbecues at the best of times, so they have countered this problem by building massive, stilt-legged domes to keep the populace safe from the winds and well supplied in spare-ribs.

The capital of this wet and wild planet is Tipoca city, not to be confused with Tapioca, or Tezcatlipoca; the former being something made from cassava and the latter a rather scary Aztec God. Completely protected against the outside elements, Tipoca city is a perfect example of the graceful architecture that Kamino boasts in an effort to prevent the buildings from being blown into next week. It is also the residence of the Prime Minister of Kamino, Lama Su, who, like the city before, should in no way be mistaken for the Dalai Lama, spiritual leader of Tibet.

Aside from surfing, great ribs and being the storm chasing capital of the not-so-known worlds, Kamino is also prides itself on the ability to clone. Sheep, pet cats, bounty hunters, you name it, they'll clone it. Indeed, so happy are the Kaminoans to clone, that it's rumoured they clone holiday-makers, there for the annual 'Super Surf party', just for laughs. It was during one of these Surf party meets that Obi-Wan Kenobi discovered a secret army of clones commissioned by the Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas. The template was one Jango Fett; and what this said about Sifo-Dyas can only be speculated. Clearly worried about the implications of the whole thing, the Kaminoans threw the entire army into the care of the Jedi, and returned to surfing, hot-dogs and cloning their neighbours.
