Coalition for Improvements

= Coalition for Improvements = The Coalition for Improvements is a socio-political engineering organisation whose task it is to 'realign' planets under Imperial control whose behaviour has deviated from that which is acceptable from a planet within the Galactic Empire. Many of the activities which the Coalition for Improvements undertakes are highly confidential. Each Imperial sector has a Sector Development Agency, which monitors the planets of their assigned region of space for deviations from the ideals of the New Order and, where possible, attemps to correct them. Each Sector Development Agency is further divided into two departments: Modification and Redesign.

= Modification = On the surface, Modification is merely a collection of technologists and system specialists who help local star systems modify and improve their technology to meet Imperial standards. In addition to this purpose, however, Modification has a secret primary mandate: to modify social and political conditions and institutions to cement a planet's loyalty to the New Order.

Modification covertly promotes the careers of politicians, businessmen, academics and other public figures who support the Empire and the New Order. They also work to discreetly hinder the progress of their rivals, or ruin the careers or those who publicly oppose Imperial rule.

= Redesign = Systems which prove too difficult for alteration by Modification, but which the Empire wishes to salvage, are passed on to Redesign. Redesign often becomes involved in a world's affairs after extensive periods of unrest, and sets about greatly readjusting the planet's society and political structure. This may involve almost complete liquidation of various institutions and groups. Redesign often works with the Imperial military, as many planets which are turned over to Redesign are under martial law. Imperial Redesign Teams also operate as part of this department. They are elite, covert units whose task is to subdue or eliminate troublesome non-human species.
