E49D139.41
this decree was passed by the Galactic Senate shortly after the onset of the Clone Wars, prohibiting any non-military cloning research to take place. Despite the intentions of the decree - to ensure that cloning technology was not infiltrated or corrupted by the Separatists - the decree actually crippled the economies and societies of several member worlds. Khomm was particularly hard-hit, since cloning technology was required for each generation to procreate.
