Pre-Mor Authority / PREMOR

Pre-Mor Authority
LOYALTY MANUAL

The Galactic Empire is vast, and our agents are everywhere. Through this, we demoralize our foes. Through this, we inspire our loyalists. The scale of the Imperial war machine is unprecedented. Never before in the history of the community has such a fighting force been assembled. Under the Empire we celebrate:

>>ONE GOVERNMENT
>>ONE CODE OF LAW
>>ONE COMMON IDEOLOGY
>>ONE UNSTOPPABLE CONTINGENCY

And the Empire has no room for those who would seek to disrupt this unity. Violence must be met with violence. It is the only language understood by rebels and traitors.

As an officer in my service, you are part of the largest contingency force in the history of the community! Learn your place – do your duty!

CHAPTER 1: THE SECURITY FORCES

Structure of the Pre-Mor Forces: A Premier of Law

Chief Inspector: The Imperial Pre-Mor Forces ultimately answer to our Chief Inspector. They oversee all aspects of our enforcement and intelligence gathering branches, As well ensure good relations between the Empire and its distant citizens.

Corporate Security Headquarters: The Corporate Headquarters is the highest organizational body within the Governed Sector. This committee consists of the most senior Imperial officials from both the government, law enforcement, military and Imperial Intelligence. Regardless of the threat, the Corporate Headquarters must always coordinate the proper combination of ground, air, space and special operations to achieve a decisive outcome for the Empire. They oversee and manage all operations, citizens and Ideals of the Imperial Machine, upholding the Legal Codes of The Imperial Charter. Embodying the branches of Enforcement, Patrol and Inspectors.

Ubiqtorate:
The Ubiqtorate consists of Imperial Intelligence and the Imperial Security Bureaus most senior officials, and is responsible for coordinating all covert and special operations, ensuring that the Empire is always one step ahead of our enemies.

CHAPTER – 2: THE NEW ORDER

From: ‘NEW ORDER: An Imperial’s guide to the Ideology of the Galactic Empire’
THE NEW ORDER – PRESERVING THE EMPIRE’S RIGHT TO RULE

The Commission for the Preservation of the New Order, commonly referred to by its acronym COMPNOR, is a governmental agency dedicated to the promotion of the New Order Ideology.

Following the Proclamation of the New Order, COMPNOR was founded to bolster public support for the new regime, popularizing the ideals of order, control and the rule of law, while also promoting patriotism, civic pride, militarism and unyielding loyalty to the Galactic Empire!

Membership in COMPNOR is exclusive, and a great privilege to hold. In order to qualify, an individual must have served within the Empire or one of its territories for a minimum period of 3 months. In addition to this, applicants must have a clean service record, with no major infractions in order to join. Applications are vetted by the Imperial Security Bureau, and sent to the select committee for final evaluation and approval.

If approved, members of COMPNOR can request to join one of the organization’s subdivisions. Each sub-division plays their own unique role in the Imperial Government ranging from galactic diplomacy, to news broadcasting. Summarized, COMPNOR ensures loyalty and ideological consistency domestically, while contributing to the expansion of the Empire on a foreign-galactic level.

THE NEW ORDER – CENTRALIZED AUTHORITY

Structure and organization are vital when building a functional and competent government. A clear and defined hierarchy leads to further efficiency, and less bureaucracy.

CHAPTER – 3: THE AUTHORITY

The New Order has laid the framework for the Empire’s success, establishing order and stability during an era of chaos and ruin. The objective of the Pre-Mor Authority is to further the ideology of the New Order in the unknown depths of space, while upholding its values and ensuring its continuation. Pursuing those who subvert its message and eliminating those who threaten the integrity and security of the Empire.

The Authority is responsible for all affairs relating to the vast ‘Sol Sector’, and is made up of one centralized enforcement agency branching across two subsidiaries. Each subsidiary fulfills a unique and crucial role in the continued upkeep of the Sector. Summarized, the duties of the Authority include the enforcement of Imperial law, maintaining imperial code, loyalty and ideology, rooting out potential rabble rousers, as well as maintaining the logistical operations of Imperial power.

Loyal Imperial citizens need not fear the Pre-Mor Authority old or new, as they have nothing to hide from us. It is every Imperial’s duty to comply with our directives, as it is in the pursuit of the Empire’s best Interests, their best interests! However, hidden deep among us are those who would seek to divide us. Those who wish to tear down and destroy our foundation in the pursuit of selfishness. They operate in the shadows of secrecy, spreading subversive opinions, passively undermining imperial authority and law.

We shall serve as the greatest contingency… With our inspectors, we show dedication among our citizens. Through our enforcers, we inspire one code of law. All subjects guilty of subversion will be pursued and exposed. All traitors, prosecuted. There will be no escape. Through our methods, we minimize the rebel thought. We prove the futility of challenging the Empire’s might.

CHAPTER – 4: THE ESTABLISHMENT

The Contingent; PMA-Inspectors ensure security through intelligence and supervision of Imperial law. Monitoring personnel, and looking out for any signs of disloyalty. All individuals deemed a threat to state security are immediately reported to ISB Liaisons and/ or Corporate Headquarters for further investigation.

Order and security are essential components of the Empire’s New Order. It is our values and sophistication that set us apart from the rest of the community’s depravity.

Their objective is to maintain this security, and to ensure the Empire’s continuation. Corpos within PMA-Enforcement embody the Pre-Mor Ranks as public enforcement officers, who police Authority installations and vessels. Each company or squadron has at least one liaison, responsible for ensuring that the personnel are motivated, loyal, and follow the guidelines and precepts of the New Order.

It is our duty to expose and arrest those who speak out against the Empire, making examples of those who challenge imperial narrative. Reminding citizens that acts of sedition won’t go unnoticed, that conspiracies won’t go unpunished!

We conduct frequent check-ups on holdings, ensuring that they fall in-line with Imperial ideology, and work closely with Inspectors to root out spies, traitors and radicals.

While investigating and logistics is the responsibility of PMA-INSPECTORS, PMA-ENFORCEMENT’s responsibility is to act on their findings. Arresting and detaining individuals deemed a threat by Corporate Headquarters.

Another responsibility of Inspectors is to maintain morale and fanaticism among Imperial Soldiers, especially on the battlefield. Defeatist comments and cowardice are unacceptable, and can be damaging to the fighting spirit of our men. It is therefore important to remind them what they are fighting for. To remind them of their great service for the good of the galaxy.

For the Authority is a force for good, and through our victory we liberate a community drowning in ignorance and degeneracy. We bring order and stability to a galaxy engulfed in chaos and corrosion. It is our duty, it is our destiny. There is no price too great for Victory!

Our Inspectors are also experts in logistics, raiding and report writing, giving the ISB an insight into the Authorities social climate.

Combining success with propaganda, we are able to promote the effectiveness of our code of law, reminding citizens that we are always watching.

For without us, there is little that stands in the way for chaos and disorder. There is little preventing our enemies from destroying our frontier, subverting our values and undermining our standards. We are indeed a necessity, watching over the Imperial holdings, ensuring thier safety and continued expansion.

The limb which enables our progression through the vastness of space is PMA-Patrol which transport and secure our supplies, officers and ships to uphold the sanctity of the Authority.

“Minimizing the time the Empire spends thinking about Pre-Mor benefits our superiors.”
