Cloning

Cloning in biology is the process of producing populations of genetically-identical individuals that occurs in nature when organisms such as bacteria, insects or plants reproduce asexually. Cloning in biotechnology refers to processes used to create copies of DNA fragments (molecular cloning), cells (cell cloning), or organisms.

The term clone is derived from κλών, the Greek word for "twig, branch", referring to the process whereby a new plant can be created from a twig.

Great World War III
The Soviet Union was the first to create cloning technology in GWWIII, in the form of the Cloning Vats, which was seized by Yuri upon his defection. These structures enabled a Soviet/Yuri commander to produce 2 infantry units at the price of one from the Barracks.

Imperial Cloning rumors (WWIII)


Although the erasure of Albert Einstein at the hands of future Soviet Premier Cherdenko also erased the Cloning Vats, Opearation: Barbarians at the Bay of the Imperial Perspective of the real World War III revealed something truly out of place: there was not one Yuriko Omega, but two - one presumed real, the other presumed a clone, both were equally powerful.

Closer inspection of the Psionic Decimator Superweapon has revealed 6 chambers that contained what appears to be 6 Yuriko clones each, presumed to power this abomnation of a Superweapon.

What's more, surveiliance into the upcoming Uprising-era revealed the interior of what appears to be an Imperial cloning facility, mass-cloning and processesing Yuriko clones (nicknamed "Yurikopies" by some), and presumed heavily guarded by all kinds of Imperial units encountered. Furthermore, the facility is being infiltrated by what appears to be the original Yuriko, demonstrating her newfound (yet unknown to this point) Psionic abilities.

Expect more info as surveiliance into the Uprising-era continues.
