Editing Imperial Intelligence (section)

==Organisation==
The agency made use of covert operations which it used to spy on its enemies as well as itself and other branches of the Galactic Empire. This eventually led to individual agents taking their orders from sector Moff's leading to some not reporting to Imperial High Command. Imperial Intelligence also worked closely with the security forces of the Imperial Palace at certain points. They were also responsible for watching the activities of various governments, corporations and other forces in the galaxy. Furthermore, they kept an eye out for any notable mercenary, bounty hunters and other outlaw activities.

Imperial Intelligence consisted of eleven subdivisions:
 
*[[Ubiqtorate]] 
*[[Adjustments]] 
*[[Internal Organization Bureau]] 
*[[Analysis Bureau]] 
*[[Crisis Branch]] 
*[[Bureau of Operations]] 
*[[Inquisitorius]] 
*[[Intelligence]] 
*[[Special Intelligence]] 
*[[Sector Plexus]] 
*[[System Cell]] 

Both the Imperial CompLink and the Imperial Intelligence Signal Branch were important elements of Imperial Intelligence, but not subdivisions. The agency also contained its own Media division known as the Imperial News Network that was supposedly a "civilian" branch of the organization.
 
Like their counterparts in the [[Imperial Security Bureau]], some Imperial Intelligence personnel made use of a military-style system of ranks similar to those of the Imperial Army and Stormtrooper Corps. Available sources identify officers with the full range of Army ranks, and confirm their presence in the Analysis Bureau, Sector Plexus, and the Bureau of Operations' Destabilization Branch:

*Lieutenant Zuud of the Analysis Bureau 
*The anonymous captain, perhaps also from Analysis, who oversaw Lt. Zuud's breaking of Rebel agent Jorin Sol.
*Commander Ilo Jev of Sector Plexus (later promoted to Colonel within the same division).
*Major Kerri Lessev of the Destabilization Branch within the Bureau of Operations. Molo Himron and Ivak also held the rank of *Major in Imperial Intelligence.
*Colonel Markenson, the head of Sector Plexus in the Wyloff sector. 
*General Harrid Sendo, another Destab officer. General Melvar was also a Destab officer, although it is not clear what formal *rank he reached within Intelligence.
 
Little is known about non-commissioned ranks in Intelligence, but personnel under Major Ivak's command in the Intelligence prison complex in the Imperial Palace were styled "technicians", and organized into twelve rank grades. During the hunt for [[Mara Jade]] after the Battle of Endor, Director Isard dryly created an extra grade as she used a series field promotions as incentives for grade-four tech Tal Burren.
 
However, some operatives were simply given the title of "Agent" in lieu of a military rank, and there is some reason to think that these officers were assigned missions on a case-by-case basis, and did not hold graded military-style commissions.
 
At the apex of the Imperial Intelligence hierarchy was the Ubiqtorate, a secretive command structure led by the Director of Intelligence. The core of the Intelligence command apparatus was located in the Imperial Palace itself, including the Director's office and, as already noted, a small prison complex.
 
Alongside this base of operations, Ysanne Isard was also eventually assigned another facility in Imperial City, known as Lusankya, and consisting of nothing less than a Star Dreadnought secretly buried beneath the cityscape.
 
The long-term evolution of the Imperial Intelligence organization is unknown, but it is known that the Inquisitorius hierarchy in the Deep Core continued to operate from its citadel on [[Prakith]] for many years after Palpatine's final death.
