Imperial Science Bureau (Galactic Empire)/Legends
The Imperial Science Bureau, also known as the Imperial Science Department and the Imperial Science Division, was a scientific organization of the Galactic Empire.
Description
The Imperial Science Department was an organization dedicated to the study and research of weapons and developing new inventions for the Galactic Empire.
History
During the Imperial Period, it tracked the rare spice known as karrak, which suppressed the Force of an individual for forty-eight hours. Imperial scientists of the Bureau attempted to refine, duplicate, and reverse engineer the properties of karrak, while the Imperial Security Bureau began developing improved forms of the spice and distributed it to agents that were hunting fugitive Force-sensitive individuals.[1]
One of the most disastrous results of this organization was the extinction of all living creatures on the planet Kiva at the hands of Mammon Hoole.
