Kamino is a planet of historical significance in the Kaminoan Core.

The birthplace of the Kaminoan race, Kamino is an ecumenopolis and the cultural and historical capital of the Kaminoan civilization. Its influence as a planet holds great sway over regions dominated by Kaminoans, with the residents there seeing Kamino as the most cultured, respected and affluent world in their civilization.

History

Kamino was initially founded as a racial technocracy, where the colour of one’s eyes determined someone’s purity and role in society regardless of family origin. The ancient Kaminoan state colonized other planets as global warming on their own nearly engulfed their lands. Although this disaster was reversed, the Kaminoan Technocracy sought to expand its borders in order to ensure the safety of their species.

Kamino was one of the last states to be conquered by the Ryccian Empire in 1500 BDR. The Kaminoan Technocracy, albeit defeated, earned the respect of the Emperor for its “correct ideals” and technological prowess. The Ryccians permitted a puppet state to rule some areas of the previous Kaminoan state for five decades until the Kaminoans were ready for annexation. Despite being inferior under the laws of the Old Empire, the Kaminoans had a higher standing among other races due to their technological superiority over them. In the Kaminoan territories, some collaborationist Kaminoans were even allowed to serve as deputies to the ruling human governors.

In the Democratic Revolution, the Kaminoan territories were one of the last areas to revolt as the Kaminoan leaders weighed their options. Evermore pragmatic as a race, the Kaminoans initially favoured the Old Empire as they did not wish to lose their elevated standing and risk their safety. It was only when the rebellion started to turn the tide that the Kaminoan aristocrats encouraged their race to revolt en masse and joined the rebellion.

Initially, the Kaminoans considered secession when the war was over. However, in what is now known as the legendary “Speech to the Kaminoans”, the new Empress Alice personally travelled to Kamino, spoke in Kaminoan at the Ruling Council and promised the Kaminoans that they would find prosperity, equality and freedom in the New Empire. “A new state is being forged, preaching unity in diversity and freedom for all. I wish that the Kaminoans be part of this new future that we shall all share as one Ryccian people, equal regardless of race”. The “Speech to the Kaminoans” silenced any serious talk of secession as many Kaminoans pledged loyalty to the Empress and this New Empire.
