Editing Force and Destiny: Blinded By the Light (section)

== The Empire ==
At the top of the Empire, there sits the Emperor. Of course, he has mostly retreated to his palace-planet, and is little-seen in these days. Rumor is that he's like a spider at the center of his web, watching and seeing all, and issuing shadowed orders. That may or may not be true, but his rule is unquestionably now carried out by proxies. There are a nigh-infinite number of layers and divisions of Imperial bureaucracy and governance, but these are some of the major ones. 

=== TAB ===

The Territorial Authority Board divides the Empire up into regions, plans colonies and expansion, appoints Planetary Governors, and liaises between them and other branches of the Empire.

=== REAPers ===
The Rapid Economic Advancement Plan is an umbrella mandate for building up the Empire's military and productive capacity, and anticipating economic needs generally. The Emperor feels that racially homogeneous societies are the  most efficient, and so where the clash in values and needs between different alien species affects Imperial interest, the RElocation APparatus can assist in moving the inefficient elements to new homes where they can be happier and more productive. 


=== IntSec ===
Essentially the Imperial police force. Their mission supposedly focuses on interplanetary crime, but in fact they often have units in larger urban areas that "supplement" local policing.

=== SoCon ===
Social Control monitors communication, identifies dangerous or treasonous elements, and provides high quality 2d, holonet, and cultural programming for Imperial citizens. They operate re-education centers throughout the Empire.

=== BoSS ===
Bureau of Ships and Services.

=== Imperial Army ===

=== Imperial Navy ===

=== Storm Troopers ===
