COMPNOR

Anyone can join COMPNOR, though the overwhelming majority of members are human. At the most basic level, COMPNOR works as a grass-roots effort on Imperial-friendly worlds, where any citizen can actively promote and participate in the Empire's greater goals. However, COMPNOR is more than just a political action body or a social club. It actively promotes the ethics and ideals of the New Order to all, starting with the youngest. It is an integral part of Imperial society.

COMPNOR is ruled by the Select Committee. In the first years of the Empire, the committee's ranks swelled to around twenty-five thousand members. The Emperor recently took an active role in COMPNOR's development and "recommended" some changes. As such, the Select Committee's membership numbers have rapidly declined. The Committee does not comment on the extent of the reduction or the extent of the Emperor's involvement with the daily operations of COMPNOR.

COMPNOR Divisions

COMPNOR is divided into several division, which themselves are further subdivided based on function and sphere of control.

Select Committee

The Select Committee is the ruling body of COMPNOR, and membership on the committee is bestowed through electoral, honorary, and appointment procedures. Its variable membership has risen to as high as 25,000, though the true membership numbers are unknown.

Sub-Adult Group (SA)

The Sub-Adult Group is by far the largest division of COMPNOR and is the most active in recruiting and indoctrinating the young people of the galaxy into the ways of the New Order. It is further subdivided into the Sub-Adult Group Education Program (SAGEducation), Sub-Adult Group Recreation Program (SAGRecreation), Sub-Adult Group Motivation Program (Motivation), and Sub-Adult Group Recruitment Program (Recreation).

Coalition for Progress

The Coalition for Progress started as a minor division, overseeing the cultural adoption of the New Order within all sectors. Although its power is small, it is growing as its information network expands throughout the Empire. It is further subdivided into the hundreds of Sector Monitor Groups (Sector Monitor). Each Sector Monitor has its own component Art Agency (Art), Science Agency (Science), Commerce Agency (Commerce), Education Agency (Education), and Justice Agency (Justice).

Coalition for Improvements

The Coalition for Improvements was recently broken out of the Coalition for Progress to take a more direct role in improving a sector's technical and social infrastructure to conform to the New Order. It is further subdivided into the hundreds of Sector Development Groups (Sector Development). Each Sector Development Group has its own component Modification Agency (Art) and Redesign Agency (Redesign).

CompForce

CompForce is the military arm of COMPNOR. It is filled with New Order loyalists selected from other divisions. CompForce's near fanatical dedication to the ideals of the New Order often brings it into conflict with the regular Imperial military. Not only does CompForce receive priority in terms of equipment and training, its members function as political spies when operating with the regular military. As a fighting group, CompForce members are loyal and fearsome. Their rigorously lethal training means that the best, or more often the luckiest, become active soldiers. As such, most CompForce units are dangerous combatants, and a few of the best are becoming elite units. It is further subdivided into the hundreds of Sector Force Groups (Sector Force). Each Sector Force Group has its own component Observation Units (Observation) and Assault Units (Assault).

Imperial Security Bureau (ISB)

The Emperor's advisers created the Imperial Security Bureau (ISB) as a direct competitor to Imperial Intelligence. The ISB is staffed with New Order loyalists, a situation that results in less objective, though dedicated and enthusiastic, information gathering. The ISB performs a combination of secret police and intelligence duties. Its agents are equally at ease operating in public or clandestinely and are not afraid to identify themselves when necessary. ISB agents are perceived to be everywhere.

The ISB operates and enormous central office on Imperial Center. It actively competes with Imperial Intelligence to gather the best data, albeit with a loyalist slant. It has offices and officers scattered throughout the galaxy and can be found on every major world. In the three short years of the the New Order, ISB has become a well-known and feared commodity.

It is further subdivided into Surveillance Branch, Investigations Branch, Internal Affairs Branch (itself subdivided into Interrogation Unit, Re-Education Unit, and Enforcement Unit.
