Kamino
World of the Cloners
Kamino is the stormy ocean world where the Republic's clone army was created. Here's its lore and how its waterlogged, enclosed terrain would shape a Zero Company mission.
Everything the Republic's army began, began here.
Note: Kamino is a canonical Star Wars world. Whether it appears in Zero Company hasn’t been confirmed — we profile it as a representative theatre the campaign could visit, and how it would play.
Kamino is one of the most significant worlds in the entire Clone Wars story — a remote, storm-lashed ocean planet whose Kaminoan cloners produced the Republic’s clone army. Its gleaming cities stand on stilts above an endless sea, battered by perpetual rain and lightning.
The world and its war
Kamino’s importance is symbolic as much as strategic: it’s the birthplace of the clones who fight and die across the galaxy — including, perhaps, a trooper like Trick. A defence of Kamino would carry obvious weight, and the planet’s enclosed, high-stakes facilities make for a very different kind of battle from an open field. For a squad with clones in its ranks, returning to where they were made is the kind of personal beat Zero Company’s storytelling thrives on.
How Kamino would play
Kamino combines two challenges:
- Enclosed facility interiors — the cloning cities play like an industrial theatre: hard cover, corridors and chokepoints that favour a Heavy controlling a hallway and an Assault breaching rooms.
- Exposed exterior platforms — the rain-swept landing platforms offer long, open sightlines with little cover, rewarding a Sharpshooter and punishing anyone caught in the open between structures.
A mission here might swing between tight interior firefights and tense exterior crossings, testing a flexible squad.
Why it fits the era
A Kamino mission would tie Zero Company directly to the heart of the Clone Wars — the clones themselves. For the principles behind its two terrain types, see our industrial theatres and urban theatres profiles.
