Commission for the Preservation of the New Order / Legends The Commission for the Preservation of the New Order ( COMPNOR ) was an for various entities of the Galactic Empire that were designed to maintain support for Emperor Palpatine ' s New Order . History . COMPNOR , which replaced the Galactic Republic ' s COMPOR , originated as a popular ideological organization , and the Emperor quickly acted to draw it into his sphere of influence — within months of the Declaration of the New Order , the cultural and youth groups had been grafted onto the pre - existing framework of COMPOR . Crueya Vandron , one of the Emperor ' s advisors , played an important role in establishing COMPNOR as an asset of the Empire , with Sate Pestage and Ishin - Il - Raz also playing important roles . Under the leadership of Vandron and Il - Raz , COMPNOR gained a powerful hold over the citizens of the Empire , and its organs insinuated themselves into every corner of society . The Imperial Security Bureau ( ISB ) was established as a branch of COMPNOR to act as a counterweight to Imperial Intelligence , and it became the Emperor ' s all - pervasive secret police organization . The Coalition for Progress established monitoring agencies to keep track of all aspects of life . COMPNOR also influenced the Imperial bureaucracy , which was technically under the control of the Imperial Senate . The organization was able to place its members , indoctrinated to be loyal to Emperor Palpatine , in every level of government bureaucracy , thus strengthening the Emperor ' s hold over the Empire . In 0 BBY , the Imperial Senate was suspended by direct order of Emperor Palpatine . The end of the Senate left the field wide open for COMPNOR to step in . For all the power of the Moffs and Grand Moffs , COMPNOR stood behind them , still more powerful . In 5 ABY , COMPNOR stated that it would give its support to the Imperial claimant Trioculus once he received the " dark blessing " of Supreme Prophet Kadann . When Coruscant was retaken by the Empire in 10 ABY , the Imperial Ruling Council decided that it was time to elect a new Galactic Emperor . COMPNOR officials along with various admirals , generals , and Moffs disagreed , and an armed conflict soon broke out amongst the various Imperial factions on Coruscant . By the end of the Imperial Civil War , COMPNOR no longer existed , which left only the Empire Youth as a Humanocentric organization . Ideology . The New Order , which was the underlying ideology of the Galactic Empire , was strongly supported by COMPNOR . It criticized the perceived decadence and weakness of the Republic , and advocated an authoritarian and militaristic social and political culture . The New Order emphasized Human and , to a lesser extent , near - Human supremacy , with other alien species like Wookiees , Mon Calamari , and Lurrian s subjected to discrimination or outright slavery . Antislavery laws were repealed and legislation legalizing the persecution of aliens was passed . As a result , the vast majority of the government officials were composed of Humans , with only rare exceptions like Grand Admiral Thrawn limbing in the ranks of the military . A high degree of male chauvinism was also seen in the Empire ' s military and government . Combining this with the alien persecution , the Empire was often referred to as having pro - HuMan policies . Structure . Select Committee . The Select Committee was the executive body for COMPNOR . The Select Committee had a variable number of members , and the COMPNOR charter provided for electoral and honorary means of being named a member of the Select Committee . Sub - Adult Group . The Sub - Adult Group , or SAGroup , was COMPNOR ' s youth organization , and was made up of enthusiastic youths who firmly believed the New Order was the best regime for the galaxy , and devoted their lives to upholding and respecting it . Coalition for Progress . The Coalition for Progress was an information - gatherers agency of the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order . It began as a weak cultural organization , understaffed , and underwhelming , but developed into a massive information - gathering agency with monitors throughout the galaxy . It examined massive amounts of data , the majority of which was mundane , for indications of dissident or Rebel activity , and forwarded summaries to the more - important Imperial Security Bureau . Coalition for Improvements . The Coalition for Improvements was a socio - political engineering agency of the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order . It was assigned to " improve " systems , which had deviated from the ideals of the New Order . These systems required long term solutions , and improvements were required to keep their work behind closed doors , as their solutions were typically not best associated with the Empire . CompForce . CompForce was the military wing of COMPNOR , created to provide Emperor Palpatine with an army of utterly loyal soldiers separate from the Stormtrooper Corps . Stormtroopers were trained to obey orders without thinking , but at the same time , they were proudly independent of the line military ; CompForce units , in contrast , were embedded within the hierarchy of the Imperial Army and Imperial Navy , and their members were motivated primarily by conscious adherence to the tenets of the New Order . In theory , they were shock troops and officer candidates ; in effect , they were security troops and political police , answerable to the New Order ' s ideologues rather than the High Command — an army within the Army , designed to tighten the grip of the Imperial hierarchy on the military . Imperial Security Bureau . The Imperial Security Bureau was a part of the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order charged with maintaining morale and loyalty among members of the Imperial military and government , as well as policing its citizens . Membership . Imperial citizens were encouraged to join COMPNOR . Members were given exclusive access to breaking news , a free subscription to " Iron Will " , and a special welcome message from Palpatine himself . Presumably , only Emperor Palpatine and a few other key Imperials , including Sate Pestage , Lord Crueya Vandron , and Ishin - Il - Raz , knew exactly how many members there were on the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order . At the height of the Galactic Empire , membership of Sub - Adult Group alone exceeded two trillion members .
