Imperial officer

Canon Legends version → Linked from 1,388 articles

Imperial officers were individuals who held a position of authority and responsibility in the military forces, and some civilian elements, of the Galactic Empire.

When the Empire succeeded the Galactic Republic after the end of the Clone Wars, most officers were tasked with overseeing the Imperial Army and Navy, while some lead the stormtroopers, shock troops of the new regime.

After the signing of the Galactic Concordance, Imperial officers were made illegal as part of the disarmament and any who did not adhere to the terms of surrender to the New Republic were classified as war criminals.
