OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
  • Organization Name:
  • Imperial Corrections Directorate (ICD).
  • Classification:
  • Prison, Police, Imperial.
  • Affiliation:
  • The Imperial Confederation.
  • The Risen Empire.
  • The Imperial Sector Authority.
  • The Empire Reborn.
  • Organization Symbol:
  • See the above image.
  • Description:
  • Imperial Corrections Directorate (ICD) are responsible for the incarceration, detainment and imprisonment of criminals in The Imperial Confederation. If someone is classified as a criminal and subsequently captured for their crimes then they are passed by the military or security divisions within the Confederation over to the ICD to serve time in the many prison complexes built on Imperial occupied worlds. In some cases the ICD are tasked with the executions of people deemed guilty for such a severe punishment. As part of their procedures the ICD run and maintain classified prison complexes on the world of Tion where detainees are made to serve as part of a secret slave labour force.
GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
  • Headquarters:
  • New Alderaan, New Aldera.
  • Domain:
  • The ICD are headquartered on the planet New Alderaan which is the Capital of The Imperial Confederation. HQ is located on the capital city of New Aldera. The Alderaanians despise the ICD due to frequent stories of false arrests and the subsequent time served in the prison system ran and maintained by this organisation. Detainment centres are found all across New Aldera and other settlements across New Alderaan where arrest citizens are detained, investigated, tried for crimes and if found guilty they are subsequently transported off-world with many ending up on the quarantined planet of Tion. The same is true for multiple other Confederation planets marked by the faction's respective hexes on the galactic map.
  • Criminals who are processed and subsequently turned over to the Imperial Corrections Directorate [ICD] often find themselves transported to the quarantined, ruined world of Tion. The men and women who find themselves imprisoned here will never see the light of day again and they know it. This is because anyone who ends up serving time on Tion are conscripted into joining a slave labour force which is kept hidden from COMECI to stop civilian oversight and interference into classified military projects of which these prisoners are used to construct technology that is later used by the Confederation.
  • The planet Tion possesses newly constructed Imperial factory prisons that were constructed by N&Z Umbrella Corporation. These locations are used to produce weapons, technology and other notable assets (such as foodstuffs) on behalf of The Imperial Confederation as the prisoners housed here are conscripted into manual labour as part of their prison sentences. The factories were built to incorporate Tunqstoid steel which was used to discipline prisoners. Discreetly N&Z Umbrella Corporation utilizes the labour force in these factories to create technology on behalf of the company for the use in commercial interests. Quietly prisoners serving time on Tion are abducted by a division within the N&Z known as SECTION C to replenish The Lord of Hunger The Lord of Hunger or for other purposes such as experimentation.
  • Notable Assets:
  • N/A.
SOCIAL INFORMATION
  • Hierarchy:
  • The Imperial Corrections Directorate [ICD] are overseen by the Commission for the Establishment of Civilian Interests [COMECI]. It is among the Prefects of Imperial Parliament that the budget for the ICD is granted among other responsibilities such as administrative duties or investigations in the event of corruption.
  • The Imperial Ruling Council are the leaders of The Imperial Confederation. Usually involved in military matters they possess powers to overrule COMECI decisions and the ability to step in to end civilian oversight of the ICD or involve themselves in the internal workings of the organisation at their discretion.
  • The character Her Her is known to the ICD as the Warden Primus. In this role she possesses complete oversight of the organisation and it's operations under the umbrella of COMECI. While answerable to the members of the civilian oversight within The Imperial Confederation only members of The Imperial Ruling Council have the capacity to intercede or supersede the Warden Primus when it comes to matters relating to ICD.
  • Membership:
    The Imperial Corrections Directorate [ICD] is one of the largest and most far-reaching branches within The Imperial Confederation, tasked with overseeing the incarceration, re-education, and labour deployment of millions of individuals deemed enemies of order. As the Confederation's principal arm of penal enforcement, the ICD operates across hundreds of facilities—ranging from high-security detention stations in deep space to planetary labour colonies embedded on hostile worlds.

    In-Character (IC):

    At full operational capacity, the ICD commands an active force of over 12,000 personnel, including Warden-Commanders, Security Officers, Correctional Stormtroopers, Interrogation Specialists, Administrative Overseers, and Re-education Operatives. These individuals are strategically distributed across the Confederation's network of prisons and detention centres, functioning as both enforcers of Imperial law and guardians of ideological purity.

    Entry into the ICD is a privilege reserved for the disciplined and the loyal. Most officers are transferred from other Imperial institutions—such as the Stormtrooper Corps, Naval Command, or Internal Secret Service—after distinguished service records or psychometric evaluations mark them as suitable for corrective operations. Exceptional candidates from Imperial Academies may be directly commissioned into ICD officer tracks after passing enhanced psychological and doctrinal screening.

    Every new recruit must undergo The Directive Trial, an intensive simulation and live-assessment program replicating real-world scenarios: riot suppression, prisoner escape interdiction, psychological reprogramming drills, and ethical stress tests. Success is mandatory. Failure results in reassignment to frontline combat duty—or permanent expulsion from Imperial service.

    Graduates then take The Black Vow, swearing lifelong service to the Directorate and to the Warden Primus, the Supreme Authority of the ICD. From there, officers enter active deployment as Probationary Enforcers, where they are evaluated during live operations such as prisoner transport under fire, political dissident processing, and re-education camp oversight.

    Membership in the ICD is not familial, nor fraternal—it is professional, exacting, and absolute. No one "marries into" the Directorate. Favour is earned through excellence, and advancement is achieved only by proving one's value to the system.

    Out-of-Character (OOC):

    OOC    , the Imperial Corrections Directorate [ICD] is a structured, RP subdivision of The Imperial Confederation—designed for players who enjoy:

    • Dark and disciplined Imperial roleplay.
    • Prison operations, interrogations, and command structure storytelling.
    • Themes of order, punishment, control, and moral ambiguity.
    • Tactical RP, prisoner escort missions, prison breaks, and political suppression arcs.
    • Complex, character-driven narratives with long-term consequences.

    The organisation is open to all experience levels. New players will be guided through an orientation process that includes an introductory RP scene and briefing materials on the ICD's structure, culture, and rules of engagement. OOC maturity, lore respect, and collaborative creativity are our core values.

    To join the ICD, contact a current officer or recruiter within The Imperial Confederation. Our recruitment process is designed to match the tone of the faction—professional, immersive, and story-focused. If you're looking to be a part of a faction that values order above all, the Directorate welcomes your discipline.
  • Climate:
  • Within the halls of the Imperial Corrections Directorate [ICD], warmth is not expected—nor is it offered. The ICD operates with a clinical detachment, valuing precision, silence, and efficiency over camaraderie or sentiment. Its internal atmosphere is one of controlled tension: structured, disciplined, and purposefully austere. This is not a friendly local business, nor is it a den of overt backstabbing—it is something colder: a place where every action is observed, and every failure is remembered.

    New officers quickly learn that you are always being watched—not just by superiors, but by the Directorate itself. Surveillance is built into the infrastructure. Data audits are routine. Psychological assessments are ongoing. A misstep is not always punished immediately, but it is never forgotten.

    There are whispers of internal power games, especially among the upper echelons—Czerka-style intrigue, wrapped in military discipline. Promotions are merit-based, but also political. Officers may find themselves reassigned, blacklisted, or subtly tested if they appear too ambitious—or too sympathetic. The Directorate does not tolerate insubordination, but it also quietly weeds out weakness, softness, or ideological deviation.

    Checking in at work won't get you killed... usually. But those who falter in their duties—whether through incompetence, disloyalty, or poor judgment—often find themselves posted to remote outposts, assigned to unstable detention sectors, or transferred to disciplinary detail under harsher commanders. Some simply vanish, reassigned under sealed orders, never to be seen again. It is understood: the Directorate corrects its own.

    Despite its coldness, there is a strange comfort in the rigidity. Those who thrive in structure, who seek purpose through duty, and who believe in the Imperial cause often find the ICD a place of clarity and meaning. There are few distractions. Few compromises. You do your job—or you are replaced.

    The climate of the ICD can be summed up in three words:

    Order. Silence. Service.
  • Reputation:
  • Across the galaxy, the Imperial Corrections Directorate [ICD] is known by many names—"The Black Warden," "The Silence Division," "The Last Stop." None of them are official, but all are earned.

    The ICD does not seek popularity. It does not operate for glory or recognition. It exists to contain, correct, and control, and in doing so, has cultivated a reputation that inspires fear, suspicion, and grim respect.

    To the average citizen of The Imperial Confederation, the ICD is an ominous presence—distant, bureaucratic, and unsettling. Most have never seen its officers in person. Most would prefer not to. They hear the stories: political dissidents vanishing into unnamed facilities, prison ships rerouted mid-jump to undisclosed locations, "re-education specialists" arriving quietly to cleanse a rebellious sector. Whether true or embellished, the tales are enough to encourage obedience.

    Among the military, the ICD is viewed with caution. Its officers are known for their cold precision and unflinching loyalty to doctrine—qualities that make them respected, if not liked. Commanders in the field know that if the ICD arrives at a conflict zone, it is either to suppress something dangerous… or to clean up after something worse. Co-operation is expected. Questions are discouraged.

    To rebels, insurgents, and political outliers, the ICD is synonymous with disappearance, dehumanization, and indoctrination. They fear it more than the stormtrooper corps. They warn each other of ICD black ships, mobile prisons, and interrogation cadres. In many Outer Rim territories, "being taken by the Directorate" is a threat whispered to silence dissent.

    Within The Imperial Confederation's higher circles, however, the ICD enjoys a different kind of reputation: one of unwavering reliability. The Directorate does what others will not. It cleans the stains others leave behind. It enforces the Imperial vision with no hesitation, no remorse, and no need for applause. It is not beloved. It is not trusted. But it is respected—and that is all it requires.
  • Curios:
  • Membership in the Imperial Corrections Directorate [ICD] is not publicly celebrated. It is not worn in bright colours or spoken of in casual company. But for those within, there are symbols—quiet, stark, and unambiguous—that mark their place in the hierarchy of control.

    The most iconic of these is the "Obsidian Sigil" — a small, matte-black insignia pin bearing a stylized angular eye encased in an unbroken circle. Worn on the inner breast pocket of an ICD officer's uniform or beneath armor plating, it is never displayed openly, yet universally recognized among the Directorate. The eye represents vigilance; the circle, containment. To wear the Sigil is to be bound to the Directive, seen by all within, and blind to all outside.

    Upon completion of The Black Vow, inductees receive another item: a thin black band—either a ring or bracelet—crafted from polished durasteel and engraved with their personnel number and three silent tenets: Obedience. Isolation. Correction. The band is never replaced, never removed. If it is lost or damaged, the officer is immediately investigated.

    Some senior officers bear additional curios earned through service, such as:

    • The Pale Tag – a rectangular, bone-white ID plate worn only by those who've overseen the decommissioning of an entire facility. It is often clipped to the inside of a cloak or coat and rumoured to carry embedded data only readable by ICD intelligence terminals.
    • The Directive Tome – a rare, encoded datapad issued to Warden-Commanders. Bound in black synthleather, it contains the unredacted core directives of the ICD—material so classified it is said to be self-erasing if mishandled or opened without biometric clearance.
    • The Iron Seal – a hexagonal stamp or medallion worn on the belt of high-ranking operatives, used to authorize field executions, facility purges, or ideological reclassifications. Its possession marks the bearer as an extension of the Warden Primus's will.
    These curios are not trophies. They are reminders: of silence, of structure, of the sacrifice of identity for duty. To the outside galaxy, they are meaningless tokens. To the Directorate, they are everything.
  • Rules:
  • The Imperial Corrections Directorate [ICD] operates under a rigid, unforgiving doctrine known internally as the Directive Codex—a closed set of operational, behavioural, and philosophical mandates that define not only how members of the Directorate act, but who they are allowed to become. These are not merely guidelines; they are binding laws of identity and conduct, enforced with the same severity the ICD applies to the prisoners under its watch.

    The Codex is broken into three immutable pillars, referred to collectively as The Trium Directive:


    1. Obedience Above All

    There is no glory in personal ambition, only in the execution of the Directive. All orders from superior officers or the Warden Primus are to be followed without hesitation, question, or interpretation. The chain of command is sacred. Disobedience is not a flaw—it is a failure of self, to be corrected immediately.


    2. Silence Is Strength

    Members of the ICD are expected to speak only when required. Excessive talking, emotional outbursts, and personal opinions are considered breaches of internal discipline. All matters of procedure, strategy, and internal doctrine are classified unless stated otherwise. The fewer words spoken, the fewer threats revealed.


    3. Correction Without Compassion

    Mercy is disorder in disguise. The Directorate does not punish—it corrects. Re-education, restraint, and eradication are all forms of correction. Officers are instructed to remain emotionally neutral in all engagements. Ideological deviation, moral hesitation, or sympathy toward prisoners are grounds for psychological review or permanent reassignment.


    Philosophy & Belief

    While not a religion in the traditional sense, the ICD functions with an almost spiritual reverence toward order, control, and systemic purity. Many within believe in what is called "The Doctrine of Absolute Containment"—the idea that the universe tends toward entropy, and only through relentless correction can the Empire preserve its shape and vision.

    Some officers whisper about "The Void Doctrine", a fringe belief that correction is not just institutional, but metaphysical: that sentients must be purged of all chaos within themselves, until nothing remains but purpose and silence. The Directorate does not officially recognize these beliefs—but it does not discourage them either.

    There are no prayers. No holidays. No rituals beyond The Black Vow. But there is one rule that all members learn early:
  • Goals:
  • Officially, the Imperial Corrections Directorate [ICD] serves as the centralized correctional authority of The Imperial Confederation. Its mandate is clear: to detain, re-educate, and neutralize elements deemed counterproductive to Imperial stability. It exists to maintain order, extract truth, and ensure ideological conformity across all sectors of Confederation space.

    But beneath that cold, structured surface lies something deeper. Something older. Something watching.


    Primary Goals (Public / IC Awareness)

    • Maintenance of Galactic Order: The ICD exists to support The Imperial Confederation by identifying, containing, and correcting disruptive influences. Criminals, political deviants, ideological dissenters, and war criminals are processed and managed through a strict penal code enforced by ICD operatives.
    • Interrogation and Information Retrieval: The Directorate is the Confederation's foremost authority in coercive intelligence acquisition. It maintains a vast, secure network of information collection centres, detention nodes, and black archives used to extract and store information obtained from prisoners, defectors, and compromised personnel.
    • Personnel Training and Indoctrination: Select members of the military and civil service may be referred to the ICD for psychological reinforcement, counter-espionage conditioning, or specialized interrogation techniques. A number of internal education modules focus on loyalty hardening, truth extraction, and operational silence.
    • Facility Expansion: The ICD seeks to extend its influence into newly pacified or contested sectors. This includes the establishment of orbital detention platforms, labor colonies, and mobile interrogation cruisers, all under direct ICD command.

    Ulterior Objective (Privileged / Narrative Use Only)

    What most do not see—and must never see—is the true nature of the Directorate's long-term trajectory.

    Under the direction of Warden Primus, known only as Her, the ICD is slowly transforming into more than a correctional branch. It is becoming a hub of strategic knowledge, psychological warfare, and silent influence within the Confederation. Through its interrogations and access to captured enemies, Her gathers intelligence beyond official reporting lines—insights into the motives, fears, and vulnerabilities of her enemies. Her adversaries may think they are free, or in control—but eventually, all roads lead to Her halls.

    This accumulation of intelligence is not just used to serve the state—it is used to reshape it from within, quietly shifting the balance of power. Policies are influenced. Appointments are delayed. Secrets are unearthed and filed under lock and voiceprint. The Directorate becomes not just the place where threats are buried—but where truths are unearthed, twisted, and weaponized.

    And so, while the Confederation looks upon the ICD as a useful—if severe—arm of state security, Her uses that official sanction as a mask. Behind it, she builds something greater:

    "A machine of obedience. A sanctuary of secrets. A fortress of silence where the war for control is not fought with fleets—but with whispers."

HISTORICAL INFORMATION

The Imperial Corrections Directorate [ICD] holds ties to the origins of The Imperial Confederation. During the events of The Sartinaynian Crisis a seditious, treasonous, conspiratorial known as The Fifth Wing engineered the economic collapse of a faction called The Empire of the Lost. The subsequent end of The Empire coincided with the end of The Dark Empire and their campaign known as The Core Wars while simultaneously resulting in the rise of three new Imperial remnants called The Imperial Sector Authority, The Risen Empire and The Empire Reborn some of whom were the direct successors to the two fallen Empires.

While the Dark-Imperials, the so called "Lost" Imperials (expats of the EOTL) and the Risen-Imperials either consolidated their losses or cemented their positions among The Imperial Remnant riots and revolts transpired across territories formerly held since the formation of THE IMPERIAL OCCUPATION of the Outer Rim Territories at the turn of the ninth-century. After the formation of The Imperial Confederation a new civilian organisation was formed among it's ranks. The creation of the Commission for the Establishment of Civilian Interests [COMECI] was designed to serve as an executive body in the Confederation and to serve as oversight to other organisations in Imperial space (such as the ICD) while the leaders of the faction in The Imperial Ruling Council dealt with military affairs.

In 902 ABY members of COMECI were approached with plans to form a new prison corrections system to deal with the vast amount of criminality that had risen among Confederation worlds following the DECLARATION and subsequent annexation of the former territories of the Empire of the Lost. Justification for the formation included the riots and revolts which coincided in the economic collapse of the Confederation's predecessor and were consequential in the fall of The Empire. These meetings among the Prefects led to the subsequent formation of the Imperial Corrections Directorate [ICD] with Her Her elected as The Warden Primus in the newly formed institution. What followed was a plethora of arrests, detainments and the subsequent announcement that the planet Tion had been quarantined from civilian or commercial vessels citing a Sith attack on the planet in 900 ABY.

The N&Z Umbrella Corporation were contracted for the subsequent manufacture and development of institutions, infrastructure, vehicles, transports and other forms of technology in the formation of ICD. This included building Imperial prison factories on Tion where prisoners serving time on the quarantined planet were conscripted into a work labour force of which the Confederation and N&Z used for military or commercial interests. While COMECI were aware of the announced quarantine of the planet the existence of these facilities and the operations planetside were obfuscated or hidden from civilian oversight at the order of The Warden Primus. Many of these prisoners were turned over to SECTION C of the N&Z with thanks to an arrangement between Her Her and The Lord of Hunger The Lord of Hunger .

With the subsequent formation of the ICD gave The Order of the Sith Lords an avenue for harvesting intelligence in Imperial space and another branch of influence in one of the galactic powers in the galaxy. One of their members-- a Sith Lord known only as Her Her -- became The Warden Primus of the ICD and through her role in the organisation gave her access to classified intelligence dossiers alongside other forms of information in the upper echelons of The Imperial Confederation while simultaneously providing cover for her identity among the Imperial elite which was useful in obfuscating her ulterior motives which did not always coincide with her associates or colleagues.
