GENERAL INFORMATION

  • Classification: Advisory committee

  • Affiliation: The Sith Empire

  • Organization Symbol: The Board uses the sigil of their parent organisation, the Sith-Imperial Banking Clan.

  • Description: The Foreign Investment Board serves as an advisory board to the Grand Treasurer of the Sith-Imperial Banking Clanon matters of foreign investment. They provide input to the financial aspects of new foreign policies and treaties, and review and approve all applications for:
    • Non-Sith Empire citizens and corporations to invest in Sith-controlled entities, and
    • Sith citizens to make major investments in entities located outside Sith-controlled space.

GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
  • Headquarters: Sith-Imperial Banking Clan headquarters, Scipio.

  • Domain: The Board wields substantial power over investments inside and outside of the Sith Empire. As the final decision making in all proposals for foreign investment in Sith-controlled entities, as well as major investments in non-Sith entities by Sith citizens, the decisions of the Board can carry substantial financial consequences. The majority of major treaties and policies decisions which have investment implications, outside of those handed down directly from the Emperor, pass through the Board for approval and comment.

  • Notable Assets: None

SOCIAL INFORMATION
  • Hierarchy: The Board is headed up by a Chair who convenes regular meetings, breaks any votes which are tied, and signs off on reports on final decisions on behalf of the Board. The Chair meets regularly with the head of the Pyramid of Civil Administer to brief them on decisions and emerging issues. A Vice Chair is appointed to assist the Chair in discharging their duties.

    As the Board falls is part of the Sith-Imperial Banking Clan it reports through the Chair to the Grand Treasurer of the Sith Empire. The decisions of the Board on proposed investments are considered by the Grand Treasurer who gives them final approval, though in reality they rarely their advice is rarely ignored.

    The Board also answers to the Dark Councilor who leads the Pyramid of Sith Administration. The Dark Councilor is responsible for the conduct of all Sith assigned to the Board, and confirms the appointments of all Board members.

    All non-Sith members of the Board answer to the Grand Vizier on matters of professional conduct.

  • Membership: The Board consists of 12 members including the Chair. Vacancies within the Board are filed by invitation, generally to esteemed members of the Sith Empire who have proven themselves in the areas of banking, investment and finance. As a decision making body, Board members are provided with detailed investment proposals and accompanying analysis which they are expected to study and form a decision on. Meetings of the Board provide an opportunity to discuss the proposals before they are taken to vote. Board members can also be called upon to provide expert input and guidance to areas of the Imperial bureaucracy who are drafting legislation or treaties which could impact investment.

    Individuals seeking to either join the board or have an investment proposal considered should contact Aerarii Tithe Aerarii Tithe .

  • Climate: Meetings tend to be dry and procedural in nature and can often run for hours at a time given the high volume of investment proposals received. While in general all members work together for the betterment of the Sith Empire, given their own involvement in the finance sector it is common for conflict of interests to arise, both declared and secret. During these times discussions can become heated as Board members debate decisions which could see an individual or corporate either financially destroyed or made very wealthy.

  • Reputation: While the average citizen would not likely be familiar with the Board, its purpose and reach is well known to those involved in major corporations, especially manufacturing and finance. While it is viewed as a slow moving and risk averse decision making body like most other elements of the Imperial bureaucracy, the expertise of its members and its track record of carefully considered decisions has won it begrudging respect.

  • Curios: All Board members are issued with a code cylinder which grants them remote access to the Board file management system and physical access to the Board meeting room within the Sith-Imperial Banking Clan headquarters complex.

  • Rules: In addition to following the laws and regulations of the Sith Empire, Board members are also bound by an agreement to put the betterment of the Empire above personal gain, and to be fair and honest in their dealings. Contravention of this agreement can result in swift and decisive justice.

  • Goals: The mission statement of the Board is to growth the financial wealth of the Sith Empire through beneficial investment opportunities, and to provide expert advice in the growth of the Sith-Imperial military industrial complex.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The Board was established at the same time as the Sith-Imperial Banking Trade Association to provide an approvals process for non-Sith investment in Sith corporations and investments by Sith in non-Sith corporations. In the power vacuum created by the fall of the Galactic Alliance, investors from across the galaxy scrambled to find new opportunities to grow their wealth. The Board provided an avenue to regulate Sith investment and ensure that it helped provided strong growth opportunities for the economy of the Sith Empire.

The Board has successfully operated under a series of esteemed Chairs who have built both the reputation of the Board and the value and volume of investments in Sith-controlled corporations. Recently however, disaster struck the Board - all members, including the Chair - died in a mysterious shuttle crash the day after news broke that investments over the last quarter were down. Investigations into the crash have ruled it an accident.

The following day, Aerarii Tithe Aerarii Tithe was approached to form a new Board. Knowing it was a great opportunity - and an offer he literally couldn’t refuse - the Treasurer-General has reappointed a new Board and is working to rebuild investor interest in the Sith Empire.
