Commission for the Preservation of the New Order The Commission for the Preservation of the New Order ( COMPNOR ) was a Galactic Empire government agency responsible for the promotion of New Order ideology . It was originally formed as the Commission for the Protection of the Republic ( COMPOR ) , a populist movement that supported the Galactic Republic until Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine became the Galactic Emperor by the end of the Clone Wars in 19 BBY . Over the course of Palpatine ' s reign , COMPNOR served as a political tool for the dissemination of state - sponsored propaganda throughout the Empire . In addition , COMPNOR was also an umbrella organization that consisted of multiple sub - divisions , such as the Coalition for Progress and the Sub - Adult Group ( SAGroup ) . Following the Emperor ' s death at the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY , COMPNOR was reorganized into the Office of Imperial Promotion , Galactic Truth , and Fact Correction . History . The Commission for the Preservation of the New Order ( COMPNOR ) started as the Commission for the Protection of the Republic ( COMPOR ) , a populist movement composed of loyalist s during the Clone Wars . When in 19 BBY , Sheev Palpatine , then Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic , proclaimed himself Emperor of the First Galactic Empire , one of Palpatine ' s first acts was to reshuffle the political apparatus , reforming the Republic - era COMPOR into COMPNOR . This new division of government was wielded as a political tool for newly appointed Imperial advisor s with a gift for shaping public sentiment . In the first few years of the Galactic Empire , civic pride boomed . COMPNOR capitalized on the successful propaganda campaigns of the Galactic Republic to accelerate the vast military expansion decreed by the Emperor . A series of sub - commissions began blueprinting the image of the ideal Imperial citizen and what role he or she would play in the greater glory of the Empire . Various propaganda posters and patriotic ploys were designed to achieve these ends . By 14 BBY , COMPNOR was on the rise in the Imperial hegemony . That year , Armand Isard was made director of the agency . In 5 ABY , months after the Battle of Endor , the ashes of COMPNOR were reorganized into the Office of Imperial Promotion , Galactic Truth , and Fact Correction . Ideology . COMPNOR was the largest entity of the Imperial bureaucracy , and influenced many aspects of Imperial life , including the art s , science s , youth education , law enforcement , and even Imperial Military functions . COMPNOR supported the state - sponsored political religion of the New Order , a set of ideals embodied within Imperial society dedicated to order , control , and the rule of law . COMPNOR supported civic pride , militarism , and unyielding patriotism to the Empire . It criticized the Galactic Republic as lachrymose , corrupt , and ignorant to the demands of its populace , flaws with which it purported the Empire had resolved . As such , the Empire represented the pinnacle of a thousand years of galactic culture and sophistication , refined and molded into a simpler , yet purer form . COMPNOR supported the state - sponsored xenophobia and humanocentric policies rampant within the Empire . This was justified by COMPNOR as a natural extension of the human right to rule , exemplified by COMPNOR ' s teachings of human accomplishments throughout galactic history while minimizing the influences of alien species . To the Empire , aliens were " foreign " and " strange , " and were portrayed as dangerous animals who were willing to lie , cheat , and manipulate others to get their way . Anti - alien xenophobia was so strong that even near - human species exhibited inherent distrust of their alien neighbors . Organization . COMPNOR was led by a director and a deputy director . Each organization underneath the arm of COMPNOR had its own directors , who either reported to each other ' s agencies or branches of the Imperial Military . As the Imperial Military underwent considerable growth , the civilian trunk of government followed the carefully crafted template of COMPNOR . All divisions of the Commission were housed in the COMPNOR arcology , a massive building located in the Federal District of Coruscant , in the vicinity of the Imperial Palace and the Naval Intelligence headquarters .
