Cloning Chamber was a chamber located within the immense cavern in the middle levels of Mount Tantiss on the planet Wayland, which consisted of multiple balcony levels built in stadium-style rows.

History

The cloning chamber was destroyed in an attack on Mount Tantiss by the New Republic and Smugglers' Alliance in 9 ABY.^[2] Several standard days^[3] after the destruction of the mountain, the xenoarchaeologist Garv Debble and his assistant Milanda Vorgan of the New Republic Xenoarchaeology Division undertook an archaeological expedition known as the Mount Tantiss dig.^[4] The New Republic historian Voren Na'al later mentioned the cloning chamber in^[4] his^[5] journal.^[4]

Layout

The top level of the chamber was a control and maintenance area, with each of the lower levels containing row upon row of Spaarti cylinders. Each level's circular balcony stretched further toward the center of the cavern than the previous level, much like a stadium. Running through the center of the cavern was a huge column, which housed the immense power distribution and nutrient feeder systems. Piping, power lines and waste removal tubes filled the cloning chamber, running from the central column to each balcony. Each balcony had four retractable bridges, which could be extended to the central column. Each level also had nearly two dozen doors, allowing access from the outside. The Spaarti cylinders were arranged in groups of four, attached to overhead nutrient feed pipes and power conduits. Each cluster of Spaarti cylinders was overlooked by a ysalamiri on a nutrient frame.^[2]
