This was all in pursuit of Sifo-Dyas's initial order of 3 million clones. 200,000 soldiers (referred to as units) were ready when Obi-Wan Kenobi visited Tipoca City in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones, with a million more in production at the time, in addition to the output of other facilities across Kamino.
