The Imperial Department of Redesign, alternatively called the Imperial Redesign Team, functioned as a clandestine and distinguished division of the Galactic Empire. Their mission involved quelling or eliminating problematic non-Human populations by means of the covert operation known as "The Heart of Steel." Among its members was Grand Moff 4-8C, an IG-series assassin droid. Janus Greejatus, a humanocentrist, Dark Side Adept, and member of the Imperial Ruling Council, established the group. Greejatus had a past association with Darth Sidious dating back to Sidious's tenure as Supreme Chancellor.
