Project War Mantle, also known as simply War-Mantle, was an initiative of the Galactic Empire enacted soon after its founding that sought to fill out the ranks of the burgeoning Imperial Army with conscripted soldiers, a departure from the clone army of the Galactic Republic. The project was part of Admiral Rampart‘s vision for the Empire, and he received support from Wilhuff Tarkin. Plans for the initiative were contained with similar top-secret projects covered by the Tarkin Initiative at the Citadel Tower on Scarif, along with those of the Death Star and Stellar Sphere. At one point, rebel technician Tenzigo Weems found a mention of it in an intercepted data packet that was pulled from the Balmorra relay and reported it to Davits Draven.
