Imperial Security Code 88173.1

Imperial Security Code 88173.1 was a security code that Grand Moff Plorest of the Corusca sector invoked when contacting the forces of the Galactic Empire across the galaxy to declare himself Galactic Emperor following the death of Emperor Sheev Palpatine in 4 ABY. However, the code did not exist and Imperial forces ignored Plorest, who was killed within three days of the declaration. The historian Beaumont Kin mentioned Plorest's use of the fictional code in his book The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire in 35 ABY.
