Imperial Environmental Preservation & Refocusing Authority

The Imperial Environmental Preservation & Refocusing Authority, also known generally as the Imperial Preservation & Refocusing Authority, or the IEPRA for short, was a government department of the Galactic Empire staffed by a Deputy Associate Operations Director, Lieutenant Rille Nuder and other Imperial officials during the time of the Galactic Civil War. The department conducted operations on multiple worlds throughout the galaxy, including Naboo, and comprised of a branch named the Office of Biosphere Control and Repurposing. Although the department was responsible for benefiting planetary environments by reducing the proliferation of dangerous flora, fauna, viruses and diseases, the IEPRA also drew criticism for their policy of exploiting natural resources under the cover of progress, turning natural worlds into factory planets, and endangering entire planetary ecosystems.
