Task Force Pest was a military group belonging to the Thaereian military, established during the period known as the Clone Wars.
Colonel Rast'tul of the Thaereian military, acting under orders from his commanding officers and in collaboration with Task Force Vermin, was responsible for the formation of this task force. Lieutenant [Dalin] (/article/dalin) was assigned as its commander, and its primary mission was to apprehend force-sensitives located on Cularin. These apprehended individuals were then transported to Thaereian Security Facility Number 12, where they were subjected to experimental anti-Jedi drugs. Following Dalin's execution of the force-sensitive vagrant Borus Ferthyn after a crowd attempted to stop the arrest, civil unrest broke out in Gadrin. Soon after, the Heroes of Cularin, dispatched by the Cularin Militia, launched a mission to liberate some of the prisoners held by the task force.
