Informant Protocol

The Informant Protocol was a program created during the early reign of the Galactic Empire where civilians could submit tips and information on Jedi survivors of the Great Jedi Purge in exchange for various rewards. The reports were directed straight to the Empire's Jedi hunting Inquisitorius. A file on the Informant Protocol was stored in "The Inquisitorius" section of the Imperial Archives and was cited by the historian Beaumont Kin when heStar Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary mentioned the program in his book The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire in 35 ABY. Kin noted that while reports in the Mid Rim and Outer Rim were probably taken seriously, as Jedi could disappear into obscurity there, it was debated how many reports from the Core Worlds were actually based on anything real. However, Kin believed that the program's existence likely helped foster a sense of civic responsibility within the Empire's population.
