User:Supreme Commander Raxus/Workbench 7

"Now, more than ever, power is the only way to peace. Admiral Versio will cleanse the galaxy, Commander. To remind them who is really in control."

- Moff Raythe, to Commander Iden Versio

A climate disruption array was a technological device that could be deployed in the orbit of a planet to provoke storms and hurricanes on its surface from space. Imperial-class Star Destroyers could deploy these arrays.

History
"Operation: Cinder is to begin at once. Resistance. Rebellion. Defiance. These are concepts that cannot be allowed to persist. You are but one of many tools by which these ideas shall be burned away."

- A posthumous message from Emperor Palpatine

The earliest known development for the disruption arrays could be traced back to Fondor, a critical naval complex for the Galactic Empire.

Following the Battle of Endor, which saw the death of Emperor Palpatine, Operation: Cinder was activated. Palpatine's Sentinel droids were sent to "selected" Imperial officers including Admiral Garrick Versio and Captain Lerr Duvat. In the aftermath of the Battle of Endor, Research Station 9, a Tarkin Initiative facility on Endor, contained a hologram of the disruption array.

Duvat was sent to Naboo, were he was to scour the planet with the deployed disruption arrays but was stopped by the Rebel Alliance.

Versio deployed the arrays above his home planet, Vardos. This saw the defection of two Inferno Squad members; Iden Versio and Del Meeko. Following the skirmish on the planet, the satellites wrecked the planet.

Abednedo was also targeted by climate disruption arrays. This led the Abednedo people to support the New Republic and the Resistance.

Legacy
In 34 ABY, Iden Versio returned to Vardos with Shriv Suurgav and her daughter, Zay. Suurgav noticed that it was snowing, but Iden revealed it was actually atmospheric ash from the disruption arrays.
