Cloning is a old art within the Empire practiced since the early days of the Empire and has many wide spread uses also most are from the creation of artificial life forms for the variety of jobs or to create play things for the rich.

Cloning tends to take place upon either cult worlds, under ground, or on certain worlds dedicated to cloning and other bio-logical work. Generally cloning produces humanoids or animals of any sorts with the creation of living weapons and highly dangerous war beasts generally forbidden (save with either a permit or if it's the state doing such experiments).

Generally clones can be breed/created for what ever work they are needed for example they could be breed to be rather dull works or intelligent servants cloning is also used to create spies for the Empire in the form of highly intelligent animals. Other uses can be clones made for organ donations, commercial objects, or as test subjects. The state is rather diverse in it's use of clones after all.

Clones under Imperial law are considered 'non-people' or 'artificial' and thus are devoid of rights and are treated as their owners property. To put this in scale even slaves receive basic rights on most worlds.

Clones are breed into two over arching groups: 'High Clones' and 'Low Clones' with high clones being born in special vats for a better 'product' and tend to be intelligent, devoid of mutations or mistakes, and are rather expensive. Low slaves are breed in large vats with upwards of 20-50 at a time and are rather expendable in nature and tend to have some sort of mutation or mistake most being minor while others are rather serious.

Commercial wise a clone is rather expensive for a middle to lower class person to own so they would look to the slave markets while the upper class would be more interested in High clones. Thus low clones are generally bought in bulk by companies or factories.
