Internal Safeguards Division

The Internal Safeguards Division (ISD), also known as the Imperial Safeguards Division, was a branch of the Imperial Military charged with ensuring that the galaxy was safe for Emperor Palpatine to travel. It was rumored to use assassin droids to keep the galaxy "clean" by the year 0 ABY, despite an Imperial edict banning them with the rise of the New Order in 19 BBY.

Some sources claimed that one-third of all secret high-level ISD arrests and eliminations were completed by the Division's droids, though an agent was almost always on site. It was not known whether the Internal Safeguards Division's use of assassin droids was officially sanctioned, or if they were used illicitly by bureaus reluctant to give them up.
