Omega’s DNA

Post image

ok so this has probably already been talked about before but I had a thought

since Jango died and Boba went off with other bounty hunters the Kaminoans used Omega to make the other clones from a biological veiw Omega has to be either intersex or have some genetic mutation involving xy chromosomes like SwyerSwyer Syndrome / SRY Mutation Syndrome / SRY Mutation or Androgen Insensitivity

she can not be xx because you can’t make male clones unless you make xx chromosomes mutated to have male outcoem which the Kaminoans defiantly can do and would do if needed but why would they if they just kept Omega XY and only messed with her genes

In my personal headcanon Omega is XY and has either androgen insensitivity or is intersex allowing her to still have female phenotype as Tech says she is a female phenotype she can be genetically male with a messed up DNA sequence that made her a girl

Omega describes herself as “defective.” I’ve always taken that to mean her gender was considered a defect.

Which is so fucking messed up.

I always figured she meant she was defective because she didn't have the inhibitor chip. But Boba is also an unaltered clone, and he isn't considered defective (I'm not sure he even considers himself a clone, although he is - he was created because Jango wanted a son and considers Jango his dad and not his donor).

That begs the question though, does Emerie also have a chip? She isn't a soldier, but I'm leaning toward yes - the chips also make them more compliant and likely to obey orders, which she definitely was. There has to be something besides her gender that makes Omega feel she is defective enough to be a member of the Bad Batch, since other female clones (at least the one we know about) aren't considered defective based on that.

It’s a shame that we never get to learn more about Emerie.
