Imperial Diplomatic Corps

The Imperial Diplomatic Corps sometimes abbreviated as the IDC is the diplomatic cadre of ambassadors, prefects and staffers that staff all non-Imperial planets, Imperial planets and staff systems. The appointment of officials for Sector and Oversector staffs are done through the Imperial Sector Office, which is directly underneath the authority of the Imperial Ruling Council. The head of the Imperial Diplomatic Corps is entitled as the "Chief of the Imperial Diplomatic Corps" and is lead overall by the Grand Vizier who heads the Imperial Department of State.
The Chief of the Imperial Diplomatic Corps has traditionally ranked similar to an Imperial Moff. The Imperial Diplomatic Corps wears similar uniforms to the Imperial Security Bureau, except instead of the sharp white tunic, the Imperial Diplomatic Corps wear a cream-color tunic. The tunics of the IDC also have the symbol of the Empire on their right sleeve, near the wrist.
==Ranks and titles==
The two primary Imperial Diplomatic Corps titles are that of the Imperial Prefect and the Imperial Consul (sometimes called a Consul-General) who represent Imperial intentions on a planet. Prefect's are often appointed on worlds that are unlikely to join the Empire and represent Imperial interests. The Empire also appoints Envoy's to organizations, planets, etc.
