The Imperial Security Bureau, commonly known as the ISB, is a premier internal security and intelligence agency operating under the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order (COMPNOR). Tasked with protecting the Galactic Empire from internal threats, the ISB ensures ideological loyalty, maintains public order, and safeguards the New Order across all sectors.
Headquartered at the ISB Central Office on Coruscant, within the COMPNOR Arcology, the Bureau works in parallel with Imperial Intelligence while maintaining a more visible and public presence. ISB agents are known for their professionalism, dedication, and commitment to upholding the principles of the New Order. They serve as the Empire’s vigilant guardians, identifying and addressing threats before they can undermine Imperial stability and prosperity.
The Imperial Security Bureau exists to defend the Galactic Empire from within. By conducting surveillance, investigations, and enforcement operations, the ISB ensures that loyalty to the New Order remains absolute, while protecting loyal citizens from subversion, treason, and chaos.
The ISB serves as both a shield and a sword in the defense of Imperial society. Its agents operate openly when appropriate and discreetly when necessary, working closely with planetary governors, sector Moffs, and the regular military. The Bureau’s presence reassures loyal citizens while deterring those who would threaten the peace and unity of the New Order.
Through vigilance, professionalism, and unwavering dedication, the Imperial Security Bureau stands as one of the Empire’s most vital institutions. By rooting out threats and reinforcing loyalty, the ISB helps ensure a stable, secure, and prosperous future for all citizens under the enlightened rule of the Galactic Empire.
The ISB is governed by the Commission of Operations, also known as ISB High Command or ISB Central Command. This senior leadership body, based at the ISB Central Office on Coruscant, is responsible for strategic direction, policy development, inter-branch coordination, and overall command of Bureau operations galaxy-wide.
Leadership consists of the Central Commander, who serves as Director of the ISB and holds ultimate authority over the Bureau while reporting directly to COMPNOR leadership, and the Deputy Director, who assists with daily operations. Supporting them are the six Branch Chiefs who head Surveillance, Investigations, Internal Affairs, Interrogation, Re-Education, and Enforcement. Together, these officers form the core of ISB Central Command and provide specialized expertise to guide all major decisions and policies.
