Dr. Emerie Karr

The majestic peak of Mount Tantiss contains many secrets. Inside the secret Imperial base on the world of Wayland, the planet’s natural beauty hides a beastly laboratory. The facility is run by Dr. Royce Hemlock, head of the Empire's Advanced Science Division, in his quest to complete Project Necromancer and develop the Clone X series. Utilizing the cloning technology stolen from Kamino, Hemlock oversees ghastly experimentation on clone prisoners and a small group of children kept in a secret vault, as well as other top-secret initiatives known only to high-ranking Imperials.

On the world of Wayland, the Empire has hidden a secret military operation in the peak of Mount Tantiss. Concealed by the jagged landscape, deep underground Imperial scientists are continuing the work that began on Kamino, harnessing a deeper understanding of cloning technology at Emperor Palpatine's behest.

Cold, quick, and calculating, Crosshair was once a member of Clone Force 99. A no-nonsense warrior who detested working with "regs," or normal clones, Crosshair served as the Bad Batch's sniper. His sharp vision gives him superior accuracy and, as a result, an air of superiority. After Order 66, he was among the countless clone soldiers committed to the Empire. His ability to neutralize a target at tremendous distance using his customized 773 Firepuncher rifle made him an invaluable soldier to the Emperor and a threat to all those who failed to fall in line. But the Empire did not reward his loyalty, and Crosshair killed a superior officer. Now he is imprisoned at a secret base, the subject of clone experimentation.

Omega travels the galaxy with her brothers, Clone Force 99, as a formidable member of their squad. Before the Empire came to power, she served as a medical assistant to Nala Se on the clone's homeworld of Kamino, spending her life working in Tipoca City. Omega is herself a product of the Kaminoans cloning experimentation. Although skilled with her energy bow and other weapons, Omega now puts her curious mind and intelligence to use for the good of her found family and their very survival, relying on her strategic thinking and compassion as they eke out a new life for themselves in a changing galaxy.

Royce Hemlock once served the Galactic Republic, but his penchant for experimentation eschewed the ideals of that democracy. After the rise of the Empire, Doctor Hemlock enjoys a new title as head of the Advanced Science Division wielding the power to control secret medical trials in cloning technology at the Mount Tantiss facility on Wayland. Working on secret projects of great interest to the Emperor himself, Hemlock has amassed a veritable army of clone prisoners, unwilling subjects for his invasive procedures.

As Kamino’s chief medical scientist, Nala Se played a key role in engineering the Grand Army of the Republic — and worked to protect the army’s secrets. She cared for clones injured on the battlefield, supervising their rehabilitation even when Separatist attacks threatened her own life as well as the lives of soldiers, and kept the experimental clone called Omega as her medical assistant. But Nala Se had a ruthless side as well. Following the orders of Count Dooku — whom she knew as Lord Tyranus — she sought to conceal knowledge of the bio-chips implanted in the clones to ensure that they obeyed protocols such as Order 66. After the dawn of the Empire, she was taken prisoner following the destruction of Tipoca City and stationed at the Imperial facility at Mount Tantiss. In her defeat, she was made to serve the Emperor in his quest for control over the cloning process.
