Order 76

"The time has come. Execute Order 76."

- Supreme Leader Vur'naa to numerous stormtroopers

Order 76, also known as Protocol 76, was a top secret order identifying all Der'kal as traitors to the Der'kal Empire and, therefore, subject to summary execution by the Der'kal Army and called for their immediate execution. It was one of a series of contingency orders that the stormtroopers of the Der'kal Army were trained to obey without question or hesitation.

In 2388, a group of renegade Der'kal officers and leaders sought to bring back the Separatists and the Civil War but Supreme Leader Vur'naa sought to arrest the renegade Army for treason against the Empire, when their efforts failed, Vur'naa used the incident that the Der'kal leaders committed treason and, as such, directed the Der'kal Army to execute their Der'kal commanding officers in accordance with Order 76. Across Der'kal space thousands of Der'kal were killed by their own stormtroopers while the Federation led the Federation fleet in a direct assault on the Der'kal homeworld.

With the exception of a few surviving Der'kal and human officers, the attack was largely accomplished through the initial activation of Order 76.
