Kamino

Included in Attack of the Clones, you might know this planet, but not as well as you think. There's more to Kamino (kuh-MEE-no) than tall people and water. There are three known moons, one of which is named: Korasa (cor-OS-suh). It is 70,000 light years from the Core, its day is 27 hours long, and its year is 463 Earth days. Long ago, fierce climactic changes flooded all the continents, leaving the tall, elegant Kamioans to figure out how to live on a planet completely covered with water. The Kaminoans can only see ultraviolet light, so the white walls of Jango Fett's lounge there were actually shaded for the Kaminoans. This planet was erased from the Jedi Archives either when Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas made an order for a Clone army for the Republic, or when Darth Tyranus, Count Dooku, killed him to keep the army secret. Taun We was the female Kaminoan who gave Obi-Wan a tour through the Clone life cycle in Attack of the Clones. The prime minister was a male called Lama Su. Also, a species called the Aiwhas carried the Kaminoans in and above water. Those are the two native species of Kamino.
