Declaration of the Transfer of Imperial Power

Declaration of the Transfer of Imperial Power was a file stored in the "Corusca Sector" section of the Imperial Archives that related to Grand Moff Plorest of the Corusca sector's declaration of himself as the new Galactic Emperor to the forces of the Galactic Empire across the galaxy following the death of Emperor Sheev Palpatine in 4 ABY. Imperial forces ignored Plorest, who had invoked the non-existent Imperial Security Code 88173.1, and he was killed within three days of beginning his "reign." The historian Beaumont Kin cited the file when speaking about Plorest in his book The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire in 35 ABY.
