Cloning facility set up questions

Ice

I am wanting to set up some small time cloning facilities. Can anyone give me a rough idea on what it might cost my character to set up facilities able to clone a dozen animals at a time, say rancor sized, half that size, and maybe human sized? Or would the price for a facility really not change much based on the size of the animal being cloned? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

The speedy kind that only takes a few weeks. I couldn't care less how their brains develop. They animals cloned won't be around for long. And that I suspect would cut down on the cost significantly. I just need a credit amount to so i can see how extensive my character can make the facility with the funds he has.

You want these. But they're pretty expensive. Probably a million or more per cell. Plus, they're hard to aquire, you'll probably need to do a thread or two to get them.

O.O A million per cell!? Holy hell! lol I can get a frigate sized war ship for 20-30 mill. Man that seems high. Hasn't cloning at this point become kind of common for animals at least? Remember, this isn't for sentients. Just animals. I know cloning sentients is generally considered a no no by most the galaxy. :p

Make it too cheap, and you will drive the food industry out of bussiness through cloning exclusively. This isn't also the kind of stuff your Joe Average on the street will known in any detail, so it only adds to the cost of manufacturing and operating.

Yep. Cloning is extremely expensive. And even thoug it's been 800 years, that was 800 years of chaos where technology went down th drain. Cloning is probably more expensive now, as the galaxy repairs itself, then it was during the Clone Wars. Plus, Spartii cylinders are a lot faster then Kamino methods, by about ten years. So yeah, a million per cell is actually cheap. :p

And it dosent matter what you're cloning, yes the bigger it is the more expensive it will be to clone. But the cloning chambers themselves are the same price. Unless, of course, you're cloning something bigger then the cells can fit. Then it's /more/ expensive.

...Technically speaking, yes. But it woudl require advanced cloning techniques to make it acceptable to the body, and advanced surgery, plus the losing of the original limb would'v ehad to been extremeyl recent. It would not really work to make the cloned body part after you loe the limb, you'd have to have it ready,

[member="Mrrew"] hmm but say if you lost fore arm, and it was healed over by time you get their. Could they chop the rest of the arm of, and then replace it. As they grew another from saved template, of the said arm?

Technically speaking, I suppose. But the chances of the arm being acepted by the body is one in a thoupsand. It woudl probably take multiple tries.

So need expert surgeon, a body part cloning facility, and a lot bacta. Wonder how much that would cost to do, and make part of my personal starbase when I get round to making it.

Even with all those conditions accomplished, there is a very good chance the body and mind will refuse the new parts no matter what. A mechanical / cybernetic limb would be easier to plant than a purely biological one.

[member="Alexander Nester"] yes but it would not necessarily reject it, plus with it being of same dna as the host the chances would be less.

I do not claim to be a scientist specializing in neurology, but I do believe that even if a new body part composed out of the same DNA would be offered, the body will still reject it on the basis that it defies the logic instilled into it by nature. It will view it as a foreign object trying to infiltrate the organism with unknown motives and goals, or a halucination-type effect because humans do not regrow limbs. Like Mreww said, if the replacement will be quick from when the limb was severed, the mind could be tricked. Could be deadly wrong tho'.

well... a Lifepack / AED is around 7-10 thousand dollars, and it's the size of a microwave.

But a Star Wars full on 'medical bed', which is basically a droid paramedic and stretcher rolled into one is just 3,000 credits.

On the whole, for a cloning tank large enough to make a 1.5 meter long arm/leg (for the giants among us), you'd be looking at around 500,000 credits each. Minimum.


Bacta tanks cost around 100,000 credits for just the tank. The bacta likely cost... maybe 10,000 to 20,000 per use?

It's hard to get a handle on some prices... but yeah. That's some expensive tech to be after.
