Timira City

"As if the troop morale wasn't low enough already, this place is making all of us crazy."

- Imperial Enlisted Stormtrooper

Timira City was a Kaminoan city that was located on the planet Kamino. Like Tipoca City, Timira City was the site of a major cloning facility that produced the Galactic Empire's stormtrooper clones. The city's cloning facility was also used to clone Galen Marek by utilizing his preserved corpse as a source for genetic material. It was also the setting for the Battle of Kamino during the early period of the Galactic Civil War.

The facility was protected by a garrison of stormtroopers led by Commander Cody, a veteran of the Clone Wars who went on to serve in the Imperial Military. An enlisted trooper stated in his log how Kamino was a miserable planet to be assigned to, mostly because of the world's virtually unending storms of rain and lightning. Due to the inhospitable conditions of Kamino and the unlikelihood of an attack on one of the Empire's most fortified cloning worlds, the trooper failed to see any point for the stormtroopers to be stationed on trench duty as per Cody's orders and believed that troop morale was as low as it could be in Timira City.

While Vader's attempts to clone his fallen apprentice resulted in a number of imperfect versions, one clone in particular was successful enough for Vader to believe that he might have been the first stable version of the deceased Marek. Although the clone was physically identical to Marek and possessed all of his skills, he was still haunted by the memories of his template just like the clones who came before him. The imprints eventually drove the clone to flee Kamino and search for the woman that Marek loved, Juno Eclipse. However, the renegade clone was not the only stable version of Starkiller as Vader led him to believe. Around the same time, another clone was created and ultimately deemed as the only perfect clone of the original Starkiller by both Darth Vader and the facility's lead cloning technician.



The city would later come under attack as the Rebel Alliance engaged the planet's imperial garrison while Marek's wayward clone fought Vader in order to rescue Eclipse from captivity. While the Rebels struggled to hold their ground against the Imperial forces, Starkiller broke off from the battle to search for Juno, thus killing countless Imperial soldiers in his way. The battle ended as a major victory for the Alliance and Vader himself was defeated by Starkiller and arrested by the Rebels.

Before leaving the planet, General Kota assured Juno that the Rebels would drop several Star Destroyers into the ocean, thus destroying Timira City with the resulting tsunami so that the Empire could never use the cloning facility again. As the Rebel forces departed from Kamino, Starkiller and Eclipse also left the planet in the Rogue Shadow, unaware that they were being followed by Slave I piloted by Boba Fett.
