Originally the Improvements Division of the Commerce Agencies, Improvements became its own group when the Select Committee began reorganizing COMPNOR along the designs "suggested" by the Emperor. Improvements receives copies of Progress reports as forwarded by the ISB. Progress reports cases of system deviance from the ideals of the New Order to the ISB. The Imperial Security Bureau assigns Improvements those cases which will require long term solutions, especially when those solutions are best not associated with the Empire.
Divisions of the Coalition for Improvement
The Coalition for Improvement is subdivided into the hundreds of Sector Development Groups (Sector Development). Each Sector Development has its own component Department of Modification (Modification), and Department of Redesign (Redesign).
Sector Development Group
Resources available to each Sector Development agency vary greatly. While the Emperor personally approves of the methods of Sector Development, there are other short term projects which are given funding priority. Most Sector Development agencies have adapted by initiating low cost strategies, then pouring in precious funds to whichever strategies demonstrate the greatest promise.
Sector Development contains two departments, the Department of Modification and the Department of Redesign.
Department of Modification
To the public, the Department of Modification is an association of technologists and system specialists who help local systems modify their technology to Imperial standards. While they do perform some of that, their primary and secret purpose is to slowly modify social conditions and institutions to cement a system's loyalty to the New Order.
Modification covertly promotes the careers of beings whose politics match the Empire's more closely than their rivals. They create small perturbations which can interact to form social problems of bewildering complexity, and then help their chosen agents solve the problems. Their methods take a great deal of time and patience.
Any serious resistance movement is, in the parlance of the members of Modification, a "site specific cause of negative feedback." Modification sees the these resistance movements as too specific to regions within the Empire to ever have a lasting effect on the Empire as a whole, especially given that these treasonous groups tend to spend too much time reacting to the activities of the Imperial Military. Modification is content to wait these groups out.
Department of Redesign
There are times when Improvements decides that a local system is virtually unsalvageable in its current form - no degree of small modifications will suffice to move it securely into the fold of the New Order. If a planet is deemed to be of marginal value, the problem is handed over to the Imperial Military. If a planet is considered to be of some value, Redesign will often augment the military's actions.
The Department of Redesign describes its works with the murky vocabulary of "state changes", "shock vectors", and "bifurcation manifolds." These neutral terms mask of the most evil actions take on behalf of the Empire. Redesign agencies rarely have the resources to handle more than one world in a sector at a time, a small mercy for the citizens of the Empire.
