Imperial Consolidation Authority
Site Lore

This article is designed to present an option for Republic characters who are looking at joining the Empire due to personal motivations. The Imperial Consolidation Authority is not designed to replace any existing military body within the Sith Empire; it is designed to act as a supplement when dealing with pro-Republic movements. Consider them more like a Counter-Terrorism Unit, rather than a full part of the military.
MISSION
  • To maintain Order and Security within governing systems threatened by terrorism and other forms of insurgencies within annexed territories.
  • To procure and provide information to other branches of Imperial military service regarding potential threats to Order and Security within annexed territories.
  • To assist in the search and rescue of citizens threatened by insurgent forces acting within annexed territories.

BACKGROUND
Following the defeat of the Republic government and the usurping of Republic authority across the galaxy, the Empire came to realize that stamping out the last of the pro-Republic forces would be a challenging task on their own. At the suggestion of Commander Herbaer Argoll, the Sith Empire established the Imperial Consolidation Authority with the intention of recruiting citizens of the Republic to their cause.

With these recruits, the Empire intended to use their knowledge and understanding of local space in order to effectively wipe out the remnant forces that refused the call to cease fire. Additionally, resistance cells would be less suspicious of Republic citizens than Imperials, enabling the Empire to probe deeper and learn more about specific cells before the insurgents could catch on to the ploy. Although offered benefits in line with other soldiers of the Empire, recruited Republic citizens unknowingly entered into an arrangement where there was little opportunity to advance.

Due to Imperial propaganda, the Republic members of the ICA were looked down upon by their Imperial counterparts. Although mistreatment towards them was as prohibited as towards any other Imperial personnel, they were still regarded as "Republic scum." This general distaste towards the members of the ICA not only came from the Empire, but also from pro-Republic citizens and resistance members who saw them as traitors to their former government. They were often given the derogatory label Imperial Collaborators' Association, or simply the Collaborators.

Members of the ICA can be kind and generous to the public, but the ruthless elements were often better remembered by the people.

UNIFORMS
Uniforms of the ICA are much like what is used in the Imperial military. However, they are distinguished by red shoulder pads and, for officers, a red stripe around the base of their caps.

STRUCTURE
Commissioned Officers
of the ICA are exclusively Imperial officers who were reassigned, and possibly demoted, for their undesirable performances during the war. Due to the unglamorous nature of the ICA, an assignment by an Imperial to the ICA was therefore considered to be the equivalent of career assassination.

Non-Commissioned Officers and those of lower ranks are exclusively Republic natives who were recruited into the service. Many of these natives were indifferent about the war against the Sith Empire or somehow did not benefit underneath Republic rule.

Aside from these restrictions, the ranking system used by the ICA is otherwise identical to what is used in the Imperial military.

The ICA is organized into three branches: administrative services, investigative services, and security services.
  • The Imperial Consolidation Authority Administrative Services (ICAAS, or simply AS) deals exclusively with the operation of the organization.
  • The Imperial Consolidation Authority Investigative Services (ICAIS, or simply IS) operates in intelligence gathering and analysis as well as signalling. Although agents of the ICAIS may be sent to the field, they often act as support to the in-house security services.
  • The Imperial Consolidation Authority Security Services (ICASS, or simply SS) are involved with a variety of work ranging from counter-terrorism to the full spectrum of cybersecurity. In general, the ICASS act similarly to a security agency, providing protective services in a wide variety of methods. The Garm Unit is the most prestigious unit within the ICA, comparable to a military-grade special law enforcement unit.

I made some changes since the PM'd version, just so you don't miss anything @Malon.
