The SpecForce Incident was a name given to the events surrounding the 3643 BBY defection on Ord Mantell of all but one member of the Republic Special Forces Division unit known as Havoc Squad. Later these defectors persuaded thousands of other Republic Special Forces members to defect to Sith Empire. They were all pursued and tracked down by the new formation of the Havoc Squad in the months following.
