Operation Fracture, also known as the hunt for Galen Erso, referred to the operation undertaken by the Alliance to Restore the Republic to extract scientist Galen Erso so he could testify to the Imperial Senate regarding the existence of a planet-destroying superweapon being employed by the Galactic Empire. However, before the mission began, the objectives were changed to assassinate Erso instead.
