Coalition for Progress/Legends

The Coalition for Progress is a sub-agency of the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order, or COMPNOR. It began as a weak cultural organization, but developed into a massive information-gathering agency with monitors throughout the galaxy. It examines massive amounts of data, the majority of which is mundane, for indications of dissident or Rebel activity, and forwards summaries to the more-important Imperial Security Bureau. Each sector has a Sector Monitor, under which operate monitors in subfields such as art, commerce, education, justice, and science.

It is popularly known as the source of the glaring red holopanel reviews set up next to controversial art, continually cycling through the Progress criticism of the piece. Receiving such declamation is known as "drawing a scarlet," and can generate substantial popularity for a piece.
