Imperial Navy Recruitment

Imperial Navy Recruitment was the recruitment organization of the Space Navy of the Galactic Empire.
==History==
During the Galactic Civil War, the Imperial Navy Recruitment office was tasked with recruitment of volunteers to join the Imperial Navy in the fight against the Rebel Alliance.
As the war intensified after the Battle of Yavin, Admiral Cilas Veckon, the Chief of Imperial Navy Recruitment, initiated a large recruitment program of pilots for the Imperial Starfighter Corps. His staff identified skilled spacers throughout the galaxy and sent strongly worded recruitment messages to potential recruits. Despite the notorious Imperial anti-alien policy, all species were invited to join the program. Admiral Veckon then placed Commanders Gunham, Zhanks and Landau on Tatooine, Corellia and Naboo, respectively, to oversee major pushes in recruitment. The recruitment program culminatedStar Wars Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed in 1 ABY, resulting in a new batch of pilots joining Black Epsilon, Storm Squadron and the Imperial Inquisition's squadron. Although the Imperial Navy recruitment program was a success, the Rebellion and neutral factions soon initiated similar programs that were also very successful.
