Dormant Agent Project

The Dormant Agent Project was a secret mind control project created by Imperial researchers. The project used inhibitor chips - aptly named "DAP chips" - that were implanted in the brains of Humans that, if effective, would brainwash them and make them subservient to the Galactic Empire, willing to follow nearly every order issued by the scientist in charge of the project - Doctor Mungid Duss. Most of the project's victims included prisoners-of-war captured from active warzones, who were implanted with DAP chips and sent back to their peers in hopes of turning on them. One such victim was the Mandalorian warrior Naastau, who managed to disable the chip's mind control features with the help of a Mandalorian slicer, though was left with a damaged mind that was riddled with visual and auditory hallucinations, as well as "combat simulations" while dreaming.

The Dormant Agent Project was eventually abandoned in favor of more effective mind control projects after Doctor Duss attempted to use his "DAP drones" to besiege an Imperial outpost in 16 BBY; his involvement in the failed siege was discovered and he was likely executed.
