PPS: I should note that in the JOTW script (in contrast to the '74 rough draft), it’s likely Aquilae’s cloning program was still in very early stages – as yet doing little more than making human skin cells and suchlike. This was the consequence of Aquilaean scientists having just begun to break the galactic taboo on cloning research in the wake of the Clone Wars (a conflict analogous to Dune's Butlerian Jihad). As a result of the long moratorium on the use of cloning technology, Aquilaean prosthetics for wounded combat veterans would take the form of mechanical parts covered by a synth-skin shell.
