Ministry of Logistics The Ministry of Logistics was a division of the Sith Empire , one that fell under the Sphere of Production and Logistics . Overview . The ministry was controlled by the Minister of Logistics who technically answered to the Sphere of Production and Logistics though he would also at times report to other councilors , such as the one who oversaw the Sphere of Defense of the Empire if it referred to a military issue . Though seen by some as the lowest of the Ministries , it was also the most vital . The ministry provided calculations to fend off enemy troops , logistical necessities of fleets and ground forces , and financial concerns of a war . Industries are nationalized the Ministry manages the factories who produce the weapons for the Empire ' s war machine . Along with this are agricultural worlds that are used for the food supplies of the Imperial military . The Ministry also supervised the Empire ' s slave labor and makes adjustments where necessary to complete building projects and run various industries . Added to this , the ministry runs the Empire ' s civilian transportation and trade network ensuring the transit of goods in the Empire . It was also responsible for the public transit on the capital planet of Dromund Kaas . At the time of the Cold War , the public transports were only available to the citizens of the Empire , and the Ministry was tasked with delivering the proper passes . Its office was located in Hub 3 of Kaas City . History . During the Cold War , they brought in Chiss agents on loan from the Chiss Expansionary Defense Force to aid their military campaigns against the Galactic Republic on Hoth . This aid consisted of cold weather training and equipment to better aid the Imperial military forces on the frozen world . The Minister of Logistic was Shullis Khamarr . At this time , the Ministry reported to Imperial Intelligence that they were unable to prevent the broadcast being made by the terrorist known as the Eagle . As a result , everyone within the Sith Empire witnessed the message being projected by the dissident . After a rakghoul plague outbreak on Tatooine , the Imperial News Network informed the citizens of the Empire of a travel ban with the Ministry advising when this would expire issuing the Imperial Edict 1968Z , authorizing all Imperial personnel with terminating anyone that was infected by the rakghoul s or were carriers of the disease . According to Lana Beniko , the Ministry of Logistics was the only department of the Imperial government functional enough to negotiate and implement the Empire ' s surrender to the Eternal Empire of Zakuul after the abrupt end of the Galactic War . By this point , most of the Dark Council were either dead or missing , and none of the remaining Darths or Ministries were willing to accept responsibility for the surrender . As it was the Ministry of Logistics was under his Sphere , Darth Vowrawn was forced to personally represent the Sith before the Eternal Throne . Shortly thereafter , Darth Acina declared herself Empress of the Sith and assumed control of the imperial government . Under her regime , Gelmid Lorman served as Minister of Logistics . In 3630 BBY , Lorman greeted The Outlander , Lana Beniko and Theron Shan upon their arrival on Dromund Kaas . Lorman secretly conspired with Leontyne Saresh to assassinate the Outlander and Empress Acina , but the pair successfully thwarted the plot .
