Wayland

Wayland, also known as Weyland, was a forested, mountainous planet located in the galaxy's Outer Rim. Wayland served as the base of operations of the Galactic Empire's cloning program early in its reign. Medical officer Doctor Scalder oversaw the facility on the planet's Mount Tantiss and brought in Kaminoan Chief Medical scientist Nala Se to work on the Imperial cloning program’s very important Project Necromancer. The research fell under the purview of the Advanced Science Division under Chief Scientist Doctor Royce Hemlock. The Wayland facility was garrisoned by a number of clone commandos sporting grey markings on their armor.

Despite the fall of Tantiss Base and the death of Doctor Hemlock in Clone Force 99's Attack on Wayland, with Governor Wilhuff Tarkin ordering Captain Bragg to shutter Tantiss Base indefinitely and redistribute all requested funding and assets for Hemlock’s Imperial cloning program to Commander Orson Callan Krennic’s Project Stardust when they arrived after the Attack, the droid ZO-E3 heard that Emperor Palpatine supposedly had a huge storehouse of treasures on Wayland in 1 BBY.
