Order 37 on Bellassa

"All Bellassans must return to their homes. No Bellassans will be allowed to leave the planet. Ussa is in lockdown. Outlanders may approach the checkpoint."

- An Imperial officer

Order 37 was executed on Bellassa one year after the Declaration of a New Order.

History
The execution of the order on the planet Bellassa included mass arrests of the civilian populace, including the use of shock batons to strike down any people protesting arrest (or simply being in the way). Arrestees were gathered in mobile repulsorlift holding pens. The spaceport was locked down for Bellassans, but offworlders were allowed to exit. The Imperial ultimatum was then given: the city of Ussa had twenty-four hours to turn Ferus Olin over to Imperial authorities or the arrested civilians would be executed. Obi-Wan Kenobi suspected that the Empire would not honor the ultimatum and execute the civilians even if Ferus Olin was turned in, and then would carry out the scenarios for body disposal and communications suppression.
