Legend

this was a project established by Warlord Zsinj, during his struggles against the New Republic. It was a spin-off from Project Chubar, and invovled the use of certain chemical treatments to brainwash the more intelligent, non-human species of the galaxy. While Project Chubar could produce subjects capable of successive missions, the subjects of Project Minefield were considered expendable. This was because the brainwashing, once activated, would compel them to actions which would lead to their demise once their mission was carried out. The subjects were implanted with the need to complete a specific task, nmost often the assassination of another being. The subject was activated upon hearing a code phrase which contained a reference to their target. The brainwashing was not complete, as many early test subjects were able to see that the compelling act was wrong, but they often carried it out anyway. Zsinj used the subjects of this project to begin sowing seeds of division between the human and non-human races of the New Republic. However, it was discovered by New Republic Intelligence after the capture of Doctor Edda Gast.
