In the project backstory, cloning becomes a sort of political ideology. The "party leaders" on a system seduce the intelligentsia and would-be elite with tales of how they are going to be the vanguard of a perfectly rational system controlled from the top. The masses are seduced with tales of being relieved of all drudgery and recieving according to their needs through this totally controlled system of uniform workers and warriors. In all cases the original masses are in fact to be replaced and liquidated for not conforming to this perfect order. The party leaders become more and more corrupted by ever increasing power.
The ultimate goal of the clone party is to produce "The New Clone Man". In theory, this new creature is supposed to be selfless and giving and entirely altruistic on behalf of the original population. In practice, the clone process and conditioning produces brutish savages that ravage and liquidate the original masses for the glory of the original party elite.
For the prequels, perhaps just one great, fully established cloning power, the "Stolonoi", exists at the time of the first prequel. The clone wars are an ongoing struggle to spread to other systems. There were other systems at varrying degrees of clone development. The stol forces in the first prequel could be made up of originals in varrying uniforms and dress with banners as well as actual clones (revolutionary atmosphere) They surge out to "Help" their clone party brothers in other systems.
Different ethnic clones representing different systems within the confederation could be shown (Helmets with masks in battle.)
