Lama Su

Lama Su was a Kaminoan male statesman who hailed from Kamino—an extragalactic planet—during the last years of the Galactic Republic. Lama Su served as Prime Minister of Kamino and a member of the Kaminoan Ruling Council, where he was responsible for the growing of the clone troopers that formed the Grand Army of the Republic in the Clone Wars and worked with the Jedi Generals who commanded the clone army during the galaxy-wide conflict with the Confederacy of Independent Systems, although he was also in league with the Sith Lords who conspired to destroy the Jedi Order through Order 66. Lama Su would ultimately come to regret his association with the Sith and his involvement in the decimation of the Jedi and the Republic, as the nascent Galactic Empire that rose in their place saw little use for Kamino's cloned soldiers, instead placing more value and faith in the recruitment of non-clone soldiers loyal to the new regime and placing Kamino's economic and political future in jeopardy. Seeing how the situation was slipping away from the Kaminoans, Lama Su worked to maintain Kamino's importance to the New Order but also made plans to smuggle Kamino's most skilled and valued medical and scientific personnel to safety off-planet in case the Empire decided they were superfluous. However, his plans were uncovered by Imperial Admiral Rampart, who subsequently had the Prime Minister detained for treason.
