[edit] Biography

Taun We was the administrative aide to the Prime Minister of Kamino, Lama Su, and served as Project Coordinator for the Republic clone army. Of all Kaminoans, she was perhaps the most versed in Human emotional psychology. She studied the subject so that she could help the clones develop into mentally stable individuals—and not secondarily, establish a friendship with bounty hunter Jango Fett.

Taun We also served as a sort of foster mother to the young clone Boba Fett, and would continue to maintain a friendship with him for decades, which included providing him with cloned limbs, and later tasking him with killing Fenn Shysa in revenge for the Mandalorian attack on her world.

Her personality was well suited to interacting with young, developing clones, and she took a special interest in the clones specially grown for command or special ops. Taun We was the first being clone commando RC-1138, later known as "Boss," ever saw, and she oversaw his development as the leader of Delta Squad. She taught him almost everything he knew about leading a squad of elite troopers.

She was still alive during the Second Galactic Civil War in 40 ABY and had defected from Kamino to an Arkanian Micro facility on Vohai in the Parmel Sector. It was here that she would encounter an older Boba Fett after many years apart. However, the reunion ended when Boba forced her to give up the cloning information. She also shared with him the information that one of Jango Fett's old Mandalorian comrades (Kal Skirata) and his "hypersmart" clones had possibly killed Ko Sai, although it has come to light that Ko Sai hanged herself.
