Imperial Diplomatic Corps

Legends Canon version → Linked from 16 articles

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

The Imperial Diplomatic Corps, also known as the Diplomatic Service or Diplo-Serv, was a much-honored albeit overlooked branch of the Imperial Military that functioned as a diplomatic body, bringing new worlds into the Galactic Empire and enforcing Imperial standards during Emperor Palpatine's New Order. They often deployed ambassadors and negotiators to hostile worlds to ensure that the occupied populations adhere to the Emperor's orders, and as such reducing the necessity for pacification by force. However, the ambassadors and negotiators were notoriously corrupt, which also ended up costing the Empire by having them accept bribes by Rebel agents.
