Galactic Defense Order 101

Galactic Defence Order 101 was top-secret contingency order in which a chain of 1000 thermonuclear warheads, which had been secretly buried, under w:c:starwars:CoruscantCoruscant would be detonated, destroying the planet to prevent the enemy from totally conquering the galaxy.

The order would only be activated as the final option, when the conquest of Coruscant was imminent, to stop an enemy conquering the galaxy. Because of the insurmountable amount of civilian deaths which would occur because of the order the order was only known by members of the senate and could only be activated by every member of the senate imputting their codes.

In the entire 13,000 year history of the GFSS only once has the order been close to being activated, during the Space Battle over Cato Neimoidia during the Purse Worlds Campaign of 1000 ABY, the Senate had decided to activate the order if the GFSSN was defeated in the battle, making the N'Akkiarlians once-again invincible. Fortunatly the GFSSN just managed to win the battle and the decision to activate the order was repealed.

"ORDER 101: If Coruscant is under threat from being conquered then the Senate has the authority to detonate the planet to prevent an enemy of the state from taking control of the centre of galactic politics. This order can only be activated with the expressed consent of all senators and may only be activated as a final option."

- A brief description of Order 101 from the Manual of Galactic Defence Orders

"Order 101 is the order which gives a chill to every senator who hears the name mentioned. The thought of being able to kill 1 trillion people is disturbing to say the least."

- Supreme Chancellor Janar Nadoya on Order 101
