Clone cadets of all ages joined the clone troopers to defend Tipoca City, ferrying ammunition and supplies to the front-line troops. The clones regarded Kamino as their home – to them, this attack was personal.
-
In the ocean, Obi-Wan escaped Ventress’s attack by hitching a ride on the back of a native aiwha. The assault was beaten back, but it had been a feint to hide Ventress’s real mission, which was to steal a sample of the clones’ DNA from the Kaminoan labs.

Later in the war, the clone trooper Tup killed his Jedi General during battle. Amid fears that a Separatist plot was behind Tup’s fit of madness, Captain Rex and ARC Trooper Fives escorted Tup to Kamino for evaluation.
-
Nala Se began the evaluation with Shaak Ti and an agitated Fives observing. Nala Se wanted to terminate Tup and examine the cadaver – a ruthless course of action that Ti rejected. When the Jedi Master said the Jedi Council was responsible for the clones’ care, Nala Se replied coldly that their genetic makeup was Kaminoan property.

Nala Se told Lama Su that Tup’s implanted inhibitor chip had malfunctioned, resulting in a premature activation of protocol 66. The Kaminoans contacted Count Dooku, who told them the chip’s existence must be kept secret from the Jedi.
-
Working with medical droid AZI-3, Fives discovered Tup’s chip and ordered the droid to remove it, which resulted in Tup’s death. To his shock, Fives learned all the clones had such a chip implanted before birth. But why?
-
Fives confronted Nala Se, who said the chips prevented the clones from being overly aggressive, and were implanted on orders from Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas. Fives demanded that the chips be removed from all clones in the army. His Kamino investigations brought the Jedi startlingly close to discovering the implants’ real purpose – to ensure the clones obeyed orders from Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. But the Jedi never made the final connection – the true purpose of the clone army remained a secret until Order 66.
