Kamino uprising

"Officially, there never was a clone rebellion on Kamino. Unofficially, approximately twenty years after we were created, a special detachment of the Imperial 501st Legion was dispatched to Kamino with orders to eradicate an army of clones that had been bred to take arms against the Empire."

The Battle of Kamino in the Imperial Era, also known as the Kamino Uprising, the Clone Revolt, or Rebellion on Kamino, was an isolated battle that occurred seven years after the formation of the Empire.

In the months following the rise of the Empire, the planet Kamino was kept under the watchful eye of Emperor Palpatine in order to ensure that the planet's cloning technology remained under Imperial control. A small group of Kaminoans, resentful of the Empire's presence, began to grow an army of clone troopers to use in order to fight against their oppressors. These rogue clone troopers were called clone anti-Imperial troopers because they were created to fight against the Empire. The conflict pitted these Kamino-grown troops against their own Imperial brothers: members of the 501st Legion of stormtroopers, led by bounty hunter Boba Fett, since he himself had been "born" one of these clones on Kamino and had great knowledge of the facility.



Boba Fett was personally able to blow up a locking mechanism to the upper cloning center. From there, he was able to access the facility and steal a canister of clone DNA. Meanwhile, his stormtroopers fought the enemy clones on the numerous platforms of Tipoca City and destroyed deadly laser turrets. Fett then wiped out the life support systems located in the lower cloning center. Meanwhile, the last of the clone anti-Imperial troopers were annihilated.

The leaders of the Kaminoan rebels failed in fleeing when their two LAATs were shot down by shock troopers armed with explosive rocket launchers. The traitorous clones were annihilated, with Kamino remaining under Imperial control and the rogue cloning facilities being shut down for good.
