lurca hound

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.

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.

Dr. Emerie Karr blends into the crowd of Imperial medical professionals working inside the secret labs at Mount Tantiss on the world of Wayland. A diligent worker who seems to have compassion for the clone prisoners on her exam table, Dr. Karr believes that resisting the Empire's experimentation is futile. But she has more empathy for her test subjects than some, owing to the fact she is also the result of Kaminoan cloning technology, a sister to Omega and the other clones.

Tasked with managing the lurca kennels on Tantiss, the droid K-9X1 follows precise programming to feed the beasts and terminate animals that are too sick or injured to continue regular patrols. Employing an electrostaff to keep the hounds in line, K-9 stokes the creatures’ natural tendencies to keep them vicious enough to prowl the perimeter without being killed by other creatures on Wayland.

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.
