Project X271

Project X271 was an Imperial weapon development project. The project was visited by Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader during his exploration tour of similar projects. In 7 BBY, when Vader arrived to the Mid Rim planet Falleen with the Imperial I-class Star Destroyer Devastator, Captain Bolvan suggested Vader to use the ordnance from Project X271 to incinerate the quickly spreading plague, which broke loose from the Bacteriological research outpost. Vader disaggred and ordered a chief gunnery officer, Lieutenant Hija to bombard the laboratories and everything in 40 kilometers, instead of annihilating every living thing on the planet with the X271.
