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.

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.

LH-201 is the smallest of the feral lurca hounds kept caged at the Imperial complex in Mount Tantiss. The young clone Omega feels a kinship to the runt of the pack, which she nicknames Batcher, sharing her rations and providing medical care when the creature is wounded during a patrol. But her compassion makes Batcher a liability in the eyes of the Empire. Because LH-201 is seen as weak, she is scheduled for termination, and it’s up to Omega to save her life.

Muscular creatures with a bony frill protruding from their snub noses, lurca hounds are used to help secure the perimeter of Mount Tantiss. A sophisticated system of kennels keep the Empire’s hounds fed, housed, and ready for deployment into the wilds of Wayland. Far from domesticated, the lurcas are outfitted with special collars so an Imperial droid can control their movements and affect their behaviors.

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.

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.
