Central lab

This article is about Nala Se's laboratory at Mount Tantiss on Wayland.
You may be looking for Nala Se's private lab on Kamino.

The central lab^[3] was a highly secure laboratory in the Tantiss Base utilized by Kaminoan cloning expert Nala Se to research the integration of m-count into clone trooper blood. It was staffed by multiple medical droids and RA-7 protocol droids as well as Nala Se's assistant, genetically defective clone Omega. The room was isolated from the rest of the facility by an antechamber which only allowed one person to pass at a time after being scanned. The entrance to the antechamber was further guarded by two Imperial clone commandos.^[2]

Inside the laboratory was a board which could be used for experiments by the droids and several computers on the walls. However, most of the testing was done in a large^[2] centrifuge machine,^[4] which would scan the samples collected from the clones imprisoned in the facility to create a genetic profile, then enriched them with m-count-rich blood and rotated them in a clock-like segment to merge. The machine would then scan the enriched blood and display the results of the integration in a screen. During her time in the facility, Nala Se routinely destroyed of Omega's blood samples in a unit underneath the machine;^[2] however, during Galactic Emperor Palpatine's tour of the facilities, assistant Emerie Karr was tasked with monitoring the room, and used the machine to discover that the defective clone's blood yielded positive results for the experiment.^[5] The room, and the data of Project Necromancer held within was ultimately destroyed by Nala Se using a thermal detonator during the skirmish on Wayland to prevent the Empire from continuing to use her work to hunt down Omega. Despite Edmon Rampart killing her after interrogating her on Project Necromancer's details, the detonator had already been activated and exploded, killing him as well. No data could be salvaged from the wreck, and Project Necromancer was suspended on Governor Wilhuff Tarkin's orders.^[3]
