Officially, there never was a "clone rebellion" on Kamino. Unofficially, approximately twenty years after we were created, a special detachment of the Imperial 501st Legion was dispatched to Kamino with orders to eradicate an army of clones that had been bred to take up arms against the Empire. Our mission commander, an expert on the inner workings of Kamino, was a young bounty hunter named Boba Fett.
The bounty hunter left after the battle was over. He said something about tracking down a smuggler on Tatooine. After the Kamino Uprising, the Emperor decided that an army of genetically identical soldiers was too susceptible to corruption. Future troopers would be cloned from a variety of templates. Though the 501st itself remained pure, the rest of the Imperial Army gradually became more and more diverse. We never really got used to the new guys.

My illustration of the third Imperial ground mission (fourth in the Imperial portion, twelfth overall), as approved by
MarcusStarkiller. Ordinarily, I'd have just shown the narrator next to his clone brother, Boba Fett, but Marcus wished to see the Anti-troopers, so I indulged him. Not shown are the gunships carrying the Kaminoan Clone masters behind the uprising.
