Branches of Imperial Governance

His Imperial Majesty's Inquisition

Public Data:

To the average citizen, most matters of planetary law and security are handled primarily by local Imperial Guard precincts.  With most root causes of criminal activity, such as poverty and addiction-driven desperation, falling under the care of basic necessities and services such as the Citizen's Stipend and the Imperial Health Service, most civilians needn't worry much beyond day-to-day stresses such as traffic and dull shift hours.

Matters of interstellar security and stability, on the other hand, fall under the scope of military intelligence and the organization who commands fear and respect in equal measure by all but the most brazen individuals, known to the public as the Inquisition.

For most citizens, and even a not-insignificant number of the organization's workers and analysts, the Inquisition is the premier internal-and-interstellar security and data analysis agency of the known galaxy.  Rumors and overly-romanticized memoirs and holovids aside, of course.  For the highest echelons of government, it is said that the Inquisition is the true first line of defense before the first salvos are even fired.
