Deluge was a form of spice which was utilized as a substitute for food during the Republic Dark Age. The slave workers on the Daimanate world of Aquilaris used it to supplement their meager rations. This drug was able to counter hunger pangs by sapping all desire for food. However, side effects included inducing its users into an apathetic and lethargic state. These drugs took the form of small pill-sized capsules which were usually stored in time locked cases.

Deluge was employed by several parties including the Galactic Republic's Grace Command led by Baron Lemayne. While Grace Command was officially a paramilitary mercy organization providing relief operations in the Sith-dominated Outer Rim, it was in reality a black operations set up by Lemayne. Instead of committing substantial resources to confronting the Sith warlords directly, Lemayne sought to indirectly undermine the Sith's war effort by distributing the narcotics among their military forces under Operation Deluge, in the process destabilizing the populations of Sith subject worlds. By 1,032 BBY, it had developed into a serious social and health problem throughout the Grumani sector, affecting both combatants and civilians without discrimination.
