Inquisitorius

The Inquisitorius, also known as the Inquisitorius Program, the Order of Inquisitors, and the Imperial Inquisition, was an organization of mysterious, Force-sensitive dark side agents who served the Sith-ruled Galactic Empire. Members of the Inquisitorius were called Imperial Inquisitors or simply Inquisitors, and were also nicknamed "Red Blades." They were tasked with hunting down Jedi who had survived Order 66 at the end of the Clone Wars as part of the Great Jedi Purge, as well as other political dissidents, and retrieving any children who were identified as Force-sensitive. The Inquisitors were governed by Sith Lord Darth Vader, who was the apprentice of Galactic Emperor Sheev Palpatine, and led by an individual known only by his title, the Grand Inquisitor, and later the Second Sister after his death at the Action at Mustafar.
In the years leading up to the Galactic Civil War, the Inquisitors came into conflict with several Jedi and groups affiliated with surviving or former Jedi as a part of the Purge. One of these groups were the Spectres, a rebel cell that included Jedi Purge survivor Kanan Jarrus and his Padawan Ezra Bridger. Their pursuit of the Spectres also brought them into contact with two other Jedi Purge survivors, Jedi Knight Jarik Shan and former Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano, along with their adoptive daughter Mara Jade, who Shan rescued from being abducted by the Second Sister as a child. The Inquisitors also came into conflict with the Emperor's former apprentice Maul, who sought revenge against the Sith for casting him out and killing his brother and mother. By 2 BBY, the only known Inquisitors who were still in service to the Empire were the Second Sister and the Ninth Sister, though the latter would be killed during the Action at Coruscant in that year, while the former would perish in 1 BBY during the Liberation of Lothal. Once the Empire believed the Jedi Order to be largely extinct by the time of the Galactic Civil War, the Inquisitorius were said to have vanished entirely.
