Spaarti cloning cylinder

Spaarti cloning cylinders were devices used for the creation of personal armies by those wealthy or well connected enough to acquire them. They seem to have their origins in Khommite cloning technology, which had for a milliennium been developed to a level far surpassing that of the rest of the galaxy. The gangster Sise Fromm evidenced this by his use of a personal clone army in the wake of the Clone Wars. Emperor Palpatine also kept several private stores of these devices, which he used both to clone dark versions of powerful Jedi who would not turn to the Dark Side, and to clone new vessels for his dark essence. Grand Admiral Thrawn would use these to create a small army of clones to man his Dreadnaught fleet. Because of the very accelerated, the cylinders would have 'clone madness'. To counter the side-effects, Thrawn would use ysalamiri to keep stable clones.
