- "Similarly, the decision to seed the Outer Rim with Imperial probe droids, which eventually led to the discovery and destruction of the rebel base on Hoth, was pioneered by military intelligence and its success saw the architect, Major Roj Ohjon, promoted to colonel and reassigned to a new role on Coruscant."
- ―Beaumont Kin, The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire
Promotion and transfer order #1662290 was an order issued within the Galactic Empire for the promotion of Ubiqtorate Major Roj Ohjon to the rank of colonel and a transfer for them to the planet Coruscant, capital of the Empire. The order was issued due to Ohjon's role as architect of Project Swarm, which had successfully discovered the location of the Alliance to Restore the Republic's secret base on the planet Hoth, allowing the Empire to attack and destroy it during the Galactic Civil War[1] in 3 ABY.[2] The order file was stored in the "Imperial Ubiqtorate" section of the Imperial Archives and later cited by historian Beaumont Kin when[1] he[3] mentioned Ohjon in his book The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire[1] in 35 ABY.[4]

- ↑ Star Wars: The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire states that thirty years have passed since the end of the Galactic Civil War and months have passed since the Battle of Exegol. As Star Wars: Timelines dates the end of the war to 5 ABY and the Battle of Exegol to 35 ABY, the in-universe The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire must have been published in 35 ABY.
