Imperial Intelligence (Sith Empire)

"We know extremely little about this shadowy organization, but Imperial Intelligence operatives are clearly just as deadly as their Sith superiors."

- Jedi Master Gnost-Dural

Imperial Intelligence, also known as the Ministry of Intelligence, was the intelligence organization that served the Sith Empire during the Great Galactic War. Operating in the shadows, agents of Imperial Intelligence were skilled at manipulation, subterfuge, intimidation and assassination and were just as deadly as their Sith superiors.

History
"Recent Republic strategic information reports prove that the rise of the Mandalorians was orchestrated by Imperial Intelligence."

- Jedi Master Gnost-Dural

Prior to the signing of the Treaty of Coruscant in 3,653 BBY, this division of the Sith Empire was responsible for blocking the Republic's attempt at gaining allies amongst the Hutt Cartels. Intelligence operatives were also responsible for Mandalore the Lesser's rise to power. They helped him gain victory and success in the Gladiatorial arena of Geonosis by intimidation and even poisoning of his opponents, giving him an unfair advantage. Through their behind the scenes manipulations, they twisted audience perceptions until they were calling him the new Mandalore. They used him to rally the scattered Mandalorian commandos under his banner, all the while controlling him as a pawn in their Emperor's plans. Mandalore the Lesser was eventually killed and replaced by Artus, who took his place as Mandalore.

At some unknown point, Imperial Intelligence learned that the Galactic Republic operated a prison on the planet Belsavis known as "the Tomb". Thus, they began attempts at uncovering the location of this super prison and later succeeded in staging a raid against the facility in order to free any Sith prisoners within the structure.
