o q eu achei sobre Kamino....
Purged from the otherwise complete Jedi Archives is all evidence of the mysterious world of Kamino. A lonely world beyond the Outer Rim and just south of the Rishi Maze, few could have predicted that Kamino would become a key contributor to a massive shift in political power in the waning days of the Republic.
Kamino is a planet of tumultuous oceans and endless storms. Few features mark its surface, save for massive stilt-mounted cities wherein reside the planet's natural inhabitants, the Kaminoans.
From Tipoca City, the planet's Prime Minister rules. Lama Su closely monitored the operations of Kamino's most prized export: clones. Though few are privy to such knowledge, the Kaminoans are reputed to be the best cloners in the galaxy. The Grand Army of the Republic, used during the Clone War, was hatched, grown and trained at the facilities on Kamino. To supply the army with armor and transport, the Kaminoans partnered with the neighboring Rothana system to develop advanced combat machinery.
Kamino has never recovered from the global warming that melted huge shelves of inland continental ice. Its oceans swelled, covering the landmasses, forcing the native Kaminoans to adapt. Their stilt cities echo their former land colonies, but are built to withstand the ceaseless storms that buffet the world.
Though the Kaminoans turned to genetic sciences to counteract the hardships of the planet's environmental chaos, they are not self-sufficient. They trade their advanced cloning knowledge in exchange for vital raw materials.
Known informally as the "water planet" or the "storm planet" during production, Kamino represented a startling new environment for the Star Wars saga. Industrial Light & Magic's innovations in creating computer-generated water allowed the exterior shots of Kamino to become a reality. The structures themselves were miniatures composited into a churning CG sea.
The Kaminoan environments form a stark contrast to the other army-builders seen in the film -- the dingy industrial furnaces of the Geonosian droid foundry. Whereas Geonosis was a dangerous, dark and foreboding place inhabited by skittish and unpredictable insect-folk, Kamino was a sterile, clean and painstakingly organized environment with gentle and graceful inhabitants.
