Office of the Emperor

Office of the Emperor has two meanings. The first refers to the institution and position of the Galactic Emperor himself.

The second, more common, meaning is the combined advisors, staff, and government organizations directly subordinate to the Emperor. It could therefore be considered a combination of executive cabinet and personal staff to the Emperor, and as the de facto (if not de jure) executive branch of the Galactic Empire.

According to IMQ-54544-XX-07 Security Clearance Black DS-1 Orbital Battle Station, receiving the current firing codes from the Office of the Emperor is one of the strict requirements to be met before activating the DS-1 Orbital Battle Station's superlaser weapon.
