Destab, or Destabilization, functioned as a division within the Bureau of Operations of Imperial Intelligence. The specifics of their actions were closely guarded secrets, as the nature of their missions—encompassing both valid Intelligence work and outright acts of barbarity—were profoundly disturbing to many operatives. The publicly stated goal of this group was to dismantle societal order.
A Destabilization Branch unit journeyed to Morjanssik, a city located on the planet of Mon Calamari, during the time of the Galactic Civil War. There, they initiated the clandestine Calamari Project, a scheme designed to instigate conflict between the Mon Calamari and Quarren species. The purpose of this was to impede the supply of starships to the Rebel Alliance by these two groups. Nevertheless, a team of Alliance operatives discovered and neutralized the infiltrators, thereby terminating the Calamari Project.
The organization included individuals such as Secesh Trant, General Harrid Sendo, and Major Kerri Lessev.
