Operation Deluge was a covert black-ops Galactic Republic operation established by the Alderaanian Baron Lemayne during the New Sith Wars. It consisted of addicting Sith troopers to a new drug, the Deluge, in order to make them easy targets for later battles. The operation was conducted under the cover of the mercy organization Grace Command and the supposedly voluntary Starfighters squadron Devil Squadron. In the process, entire civilian populations were inundated with the drug which destabilized entire planets throughout the Grumani sector.
