HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The declaration of the Zatitsisajak Heresy and the splintering of the Sith Order into Loyalists and Apostates was a divisive event for the Sith, and led to a campaign of slaughter across Sith-Imperial space. However, for the bureaucrats and governors of the Empire, these actions were of little personal consequence.
Seeing that the Sith’s attention would be turned toward their Civil War, a group of high ranking and trusted bureaucrats and governors came together to review the current security arrangements and put in place decrees to ensure that there was still an Empire left standing once the Sith bloodshed had ended. United by their devotion to the ideals of the Empire, these trusted officials pooled their expertise and experience to review issues arising from the Sith Civil War and to devise solutions, which were then transmitted through a collection of Edicts.

SOCIAL INFORMATION
- Author: Treasurer-General Aerarii Tithe, on behalf of the High Imperial Diet.
- Publisher: Office of Imperial Truth
- Reception: Given the Edict related to security arrangements within the Empire, circulation was limited to senior bureaucrats, governors and military commanders. Governors in Oversectors IV, which borders the Jedi and has long been a hotbed for terrorist activity, welcomed the additional droid forces. Oversector II governors, while hesitant to release droid forces which provided them with a numerical advantage, complied and publicly welcomed the role biological troops would play in their defence. Governors of planets within Oversector I, who enjoys relative security, raised no objectives to the arrangements. As the Edict did not impact the deployment of Legion, Armada or Starfighter Corps forces, most military commanders simply noted it and continued with their standing orders.

CONTENT INFORMATION
- Temporary Reallocation of Planetary Defence Forces
- Preamble
- In light of the current heightened security threat level, the High Imperial Diet has reviewed current planetary defence arrangements.
- The following arrangements apply only to planetary defence forces, and do not apply to the Sith-Imperial Legion, Armada, or Starfighter Corps.
- These arrangements shall be enacted within three standard days and remain in place until withdrawn by the High Imperial Diet, the Grand Vizier, or the Office of the Emperor.
- Article I
- Noting the recent terrorist activity on Moridinae and the continued threat of invasion by the Jedi, planetary defence forces within Oversector IV will be increased.
- Droid defence forces will be transferred from Oversector II to Oversector IV border worlds and known terrorist hotspots to provide numerical superiority while not causing a drain on local provisions.
- Article II
- In parallel, planetary defence force personnel from Oversector IV will be assigned to Oversector II.
- These personnel will provide readiness training for the Oversector IV droid defence forces and provide security in the unlikely event of mass-malfunction.
