An experimental piece of Separatist technology, this compact palm-sized encryption module created an unbreakable code that scrambled Separatist transmissions, preventing the Republic from intercepting vital intelligence. Republic analysts were able to decipher that these transmissions came from General Grievous, and portended a devastating strike against the Republic, but any solid information remained agonizingly out of reach. To that end, the Republic launched a special mission to recover the device from the heart of a Separatist dreadnought.
An intercepted transmission from General Grievous prompted the Republic mission to uncover the encryption module. It was evident that Grievous was hatching an elaborate terror plot, and it was vital the Republic uncover its true nature.
The mission to recover the module fell to Colonel Meebur Gascon and his intrepid D-Squad -- a team of droids modified to infiltrate a Separatist comm vault.
A mighty Separatist flagship under the command of super tactical droid Aut-O carried the vital encryption module, guarded behind redundant layers of security.
