- "In accordance with the Emperor's will we've occupied Zeffo, "redistributing" its inhabitants. This planet has failed to yield significant data or relics for Project Auger. Its electromagnetic winds have rendered the bulk of our mining technology useless. Meanwhile, more troopers lose their lives to dangerous fauna. We will not be able to fulfill our directive here. It is my recommendation that we disband the project and leave a token outpost to keep scavengers from stealing our technology."

Project Auger was amining operation by theGalactic Empire carried out under the will ofEmperorPalpatine. The project involved the occupation of theplanetZeffo, and Imperial operations to excavate the many ancient artifacts on the planet. The inhabitants of Zeffo were displaced byImperial Code 94364 so that the Empire could occupy the world, though Zeffo'smagnetic winds made the Imperial technology malfunction. The project was stagnant until the ambitiousOfficerKrane took leadership. Krane was a reckless leader, and many ofhertroops and workersdied due to mining accidents, Zeffo wildlife, or cave-ins. Officer Krane herself died while hiding an artifact that she thought would gain her favor with the Emperor. The project was set to be cancelled, but it was started up after the formerJediPadawanCal Kestis uncovered two ancientZeffoniantombs. After being reactivated, Project Auger saw an influx of Imperial forces, includingstormtroopers,Purge Troopers and theInquisitor known as theSecond Sister, who sought to hunt Kestis down.[1]
