Subject: Fancy cloning stuff


Okay...I'll offer up some fancy smancy stuff for the cloning topic.   How's this (rather off the cuff):

Cloning Cylinders:
Skill:   Bio-cloning (A) Availability:   4, X Price: Not available for sale Effect: with proper materials, an adult specimen can be grown in approximately 5 years.

Story Notes:
The cloning cylinders used during the Clone Wars were of various types, including the Spaarti Cloning Cylinders.   The scientists who developed the cloning technology, including the hyper-accelerated development, utilized a special nutrient enriched bio-chemical compound found only on the planet Fedosa.   This special mixture allowed the ability to accelerate the development process while maintain stable growth patterns and balanced brain development.   During the time of the clone wars, there was little problem with "crazy" or "insane" clones.

Using the bio-chemical compound, known as Gerasorts-5, as a guide, the scientists were able to chemically create nutrients to use in place of the rare material from Fedosa.   This new material, while still useful in the cloning process, was less efficient and led to the aberant behaivor in some subjects.   Developmental improvements led to an increased growing time to diminish the mental instability in the clones.   "Growing" time under the new material, known as Losamm Plus, was pushed back to almost 20 years.   However, as the clone wars escelated, sides utilizing Losamm Plus rushed the operation in order to get their clones up to operational status quicker.   For soldiers, it was deemed that "perfect" specimens were not needed.

Upon the ceasement of the Clone Wars, is was decided by the Republic to prohibit all experimental or developmental work on cloning cylinders.   The technical data for the cloning vats were collected and turned over to Jedi Knights, to protect and hide away from any who may wish to use the devices for evil means.   A small group of Jedi, 5 total, were given the entire data collection of the cloning devices and told to hide the information so that none may find it.   The known cloning vats were destroyed by the Republic, and the location of the planet Fedosa was deleted from all available records.   Losamm Plus was put on the "controlled" item list and further production was ceased.

Recent developments have brought clones back into the light.   Nutrient substances similar to Losamm Plus was used, however unstable clones were created due to the lack of sufficient knowledge on the rate of growth.   Advancements were made in the realm of the Force, as it was discovered that clones that were grown in an absence of the Force tended towards greater stability.   This, however, is a temporary fix as without proper growth nutrients the clone will not be able subsist for an extended period.   If scientists were to find some of the Losamm Plus, or better yet, the Gerasorts-5 bio-chemical, then the existing cloning cylinders could be used to their full effeciency.   However, it would be necessary to obtain the information from the unknown location where the Jedi hid it, concerning the construction of reusable cloning cylinders, proper growth techniques, and the proper mixture of nutrients and chemicals to come up with "perfect" specimens.

Well, that's all I can come up with on the spur of the moment...hope it helped some.
