"We Live to Serve"

Republic Clones were the central menial and heavy labor workforce of the Galactic Republic and later through a orchestrated revolution and violent rebellion against the Republic became the one of the main hostile combatant factions during the early-mid Galactic Conflict Era of the Galaxy's history. Engineered solely for servitude Republic Clones existed as the Republics sole vital resource for industrial, agricultural, domestic, and for a time Interplanetary exploratory labor for nearly Thousands of years.

Origins
The Creation of the Clones came shortly after the end of the Republic/Mandalore War of 3,556 BBY the Old Republic was on the verge of collapse and complete ruin due to the wars heavy destruction leaving many republic allied planets either desolated or devastated. This left most of the still existing Republic with either little to no surviving workforce(s) to begin the post-war reconstruction movment. The devastation was so extreme that many thought the Human race itself was nearly at its very end. However by accident a young Jedi Knight named Yamto Cypherdias discovered a remote planet hidden within the Galaxy's outer rim while he had somehow gotten lost while en-route to a diplomatic mission.

The planet (that was originally thought) had no name but was home to a powerful and highly advanced alien race which had the ability to externally procreate via the process of artificial wombs that utilized Nanotechnology to create new offspring by building them literally molecule by genetic molecule.

The inhabitants of the planet were the Kaminoans as they called themselves were "Gene Merchants" or "Cloners" according to other species that dealed in business and trade with them as they had the ability to repopulate entire planets with both cloned and genetically original bio material (flora, fauna and sentient life) which was the primary way they had colonized other nearby planets for centuries. However the Kaminoans main stock and trade was in mass production cloning as due to the facts that while making each new form of sentient life genetically different and completely original led to a healthier breeding stock, Mass Cloning was both cheaper and quicker primarily for large and complex heavy labor or military operations.

And a quickly assembled workforce was exactly what the Republic desperately needed, Cypherdias quickly arranged a agreement with the Kaminoans to begin mass production of cloned workers to give needed aid to the countless war ruined planets within the Republics territorial jurisdiction. By 3,560 nearly 10 million human genetic template based clones were created and posted on nearly several hundred thousand different worlds to begin the core labor of the Reconstruction Era of the Old Republic.
