The Beginning of The Army

13. Jango Fett

~22 BBY~

Jade -

We were now walking through the facility, everything was either blue or white except for the pathways which were metal. We were walking through a big open room filled with jars and jars of liquid with growing babies in them. 

It was quite strange but I was well aware of the cloning process since I studied it for a while when I was younger, I got bored often. It was all quite fascinating to see it in person.

"Very impressive." Obi-wan said, walking around like he was actually here to see the progress, but he wasn't.

"We hoped you would be pleased." Lama Su, the Prime Minister told us, "Clones can think creatively, you will find that they are immensely superior to droids." As we walked further along, we saw a very large group of kids all at computer stations, "We take great pride in our combat training and learning programs. This group was created about five years ago."

"You mention grow exhilaration." I said, remembering our conversation about five minutes ago.

"Oh yes, it is essential or else a mature clone would take a lifetime to grow, now we can do it in half the time." The Minister explained to us as we kept walking to find a larger group of men who were sitting in a cafeteria and eating.

"I see.." Obi-wan said, nodding his head a little and causing me to laugh at him slightly.

"They are totally obedient and will take any order given to them." Lama Su informed and my smile faded to a more serious note as one of the many clones looked up at me. "We modified their DNA structure to make them less independent than the original host."

"And who was the original host?" I asked, curiously. For them to create a clone they would first need an actual human being.

"A bounty hunter called Jango Fett." He said and Obi-wan and I quickly turned our heads towards the minister.

"And where's this bounty hunter now?" Obi-wan asked, trying to not be suspicious at all.

"Oh.. We keep him here." He said and we kept walking through the facility, seeing all the training areas, "Aside from his pay which was considerable, he demanded only one thing, an unaltered clone for himself. Curious, isn't it?"

"Unaltered?" Obi-wan asked as I looked through the glass at a big room where clones were lining up and getting their helmets.

Their armor was completely white except for a few which I assumed were higher rank, they had yellow or blue strips. 

"Pure genetic replication, no tampering with the structure to make it more doseile, and no growth exhilaration." Lama Su said, causing me to scoff.

"I mean, it makes sense, he wanted a son. Simple as that, I wouldn't mind having one." I said, causing us all to stop as I realized what I had just said.

"What?" Obi-wan asked, surprised.

"What?" I replied, trying to confuse him.

He squinted at me but nonetheless turned back to Lama Su, "We would very much like to meet this Jango Fett." 

The woman behind us then spoke, "I would be very happy to arrange it for you."

At the end of the very long hallway there was a small balcony high off the floor in a very, very huge room. And when I say huge I mean humongous, and once I looked over the balcony, I understood why.

There were legions and legions of clones, a legion was 9,216 soldiers. It consisted of four Regiments (2,664 soldiers), a regiment consisted of four battalions (660 soldiers) and a battalion consisted of four companies (165 soldiers). It went on and on, it's what we learned in battle strategies.
