The idea continued to germinate.
There would be a secret Imperial outpost where illegal experiments
were being run, splicing human and animal genes. H.G. Wells'
Island of Doctor Moreau, but in space. Originally the mad
scientist was to be human, but after seeing Attack of the Clones,
however, I thought that the Kaminoans with their cloning knowledge
would be the perfect candidates to create the genetic nightmares
we'd encounter.
It's at this point that
Jaxxon comes in. The backstory revolved around him having been
born on this facility which the inhabitants have dubbed the
Hutch - hearkening back to something he'd mentioned back in
the old Marvel days. He'd somehow managed to escape, but has
spent his entire adult life trying to find the location of the
space station. He finally succeeds and the secret to what is
actually going on in the station is revealed...
