Growth jar

Canon Legends version → Linked from 16 articles

A growth jar, also known as a birthing pod, was a device in which clones were grown during the embryonic stage of development. Tipoca City, the capital city of the government of Kamino, contained facilities such as the Egg Lab and an embryo chamber for the purpose of growing clones. The Galactic Republic's clone troopers were developed in growth jars during their time as embryos. In the aftermath of the Clone Wars, the Galactic Empire decommissioned and subsequently destroyed the Kaminoans' cloning facilities along with much of their equipment, such as the growth jars.
