The Ministry of Culture oversees many aspects of Imperial governance not directly related to politics, the military, or industry. From providing a reliable news service to Imperial citizens, overseeing the training of new recruits, and even the development of the Imperial Holotnet; the Ministry of Culture is arguably the largest and  most influential of all the branches within the Galactic Empire. It was formed to replace the Coalition of Culture in Year 18, and comprises of a number of departments and sub-departments, all with their own set of specialised roles and responsibilities. 
  
===Imperial Art Society===
+
 
+
== Imperial Information Service ==
The Imperial Art Society has a longstanding history within the Empire. Dating back to the founding of the Imperial Order, the Art Society has restored and/or preserved millions of pieces of art. The Imperial Art Society also creates propaganda flyers and pieces for the media per the Imperial Throne. All Imperial ship, vehicle, and armor designs are created and implemented by the Society.
+
The [[Imperial Information Service]] (IIS) is the main source of news and information for Imperial Citizens. It acts as an overarching department, led by the Deputy Minister of the IIS whose responsibilities include the coordination of all news, information and propaganda related departments, namely the Imperial News Bureau, the Imperial Art Society, and the Imperial Archives. On top of these, there are a number of planetary-based news organisations, such as the Byss Broadcasting Corporation and the Coruscant News Network that are also overseen by the Deputy Minister to ensure a consistent and truthful distribution of information. The department can be traced back to the Imperial News Service (INS), founded shortly after the birth of the Galactic Empire, making the IIS one of its oldest components.  
+
 
The Imperial Art Society is also tasked with creating passports for every Imperial citizen. This Daunting task is often their most requested and busiest division. With the hundreds of millions of Imperial citizens within Imperial Territory and abroad, every citizen must be identified and their passport updated. New promotions, transfer of divisions, or even physical changes can occur and each time requires a new passport.
+
Many of the information service's projects attract great interest and attention, and the wide scope of the department means that there are often various projects ongoing at once. In order to stimulate the participation of citizens in this cultural expansion of the New Order and actively ingrain imperial Ideology into the lives of the galactic citizenry, the IIS offers the culturally and politically ambitious a chance to participate in project initiatives, with positions including writers, artists and archivists open to all, allowing any ordinary citizens to become involved with projects without having to pass the rigorous requirements to become a full member of the Central Government.  
+
 
The Director of the Imperial Art Society is entrusted with confidence from the Imperial Throne on the say of Imperial artwork and the preservation of. The Director answers to the Vizier of the Coalition of Culture and together they work to enact the Emperor's guidance on the preservation of Imperial artistic history.

'''Deputy Minister of the Imperial Information Service'''
Curators are tasked with the actual preservation and creation of old and new art forms. They manage the Imperial museums, restoration facilities, and passport centers. These individuals are the ones that carry out the day to day tasks that make the Empire culturally rich and diverse.

 +
Supporting the Imperial Information Service in their mission to spread true and reliable news throughout the galaxy is the [[Imperial News Bureau]] (INB). Throughout the years this department has switched between a number of names, but at its heart has always kept the same core values and mission statement, with the team of writers at any given time endeavouring to produce the greatest quality work. On top of their news responsibilities, the INB also publishes various magazines, including the galaxy famous Iron Will which gives an overview of the most important events of the year.

=== Imperial Art Society ===
 +
The [[Imperial Art Society]] is a key part of the Galactic Empire and the Imperial Information Service. The team of skilled artists is responsible for the production, restoration and preservation of all art relevant to the New Order. This ranges from the decorative art in the halls of the Imperial Palace, to the information posters displayed to all Imperial citizens to keep them reminded of the core principles and roles of the Galactic Empire. The secretary of the Imperial Art Society answers to the Deputy of the IIS and the Minister of Culture, creating work as and when it is required.

=== Imperial Archives ===
 +
All Imperial history and information is stored in the Imperial Archives on Coruscant, though they can all be accessed remotely by Imperial citizens. This vast array of knowledge is compiled and kept up to date by a team of archivists who come from across all the Imperial branches to ensure a well rounded source of information is widely accessible. Due to the widely voluntary work completed by the Imperial Archives team, its work is directly overseen by the Deputy Minister for the IIS and as such does not require an independent departmental secretary.

 +
== Imperial Academy ==
 +
The [[Imperial Academy]] is not just one institution, but represents the various Imperial colleges and training facilities across the galaxy. They range in shapes, size and functions, with some focussing more on the theories of branch activities, like the College of Government Sciences, and others having a more hands on approach like that of the Imperial basic training facility on Prakith. In command of all training facilities across the Galactic Empire and responsible for the various levels of training required throughout an Imperial career, is the Academy Commandant. They keep training material up to date, supervise the creation of new training courses, and most importantly manage the staff at the forefront of the training classes.

=== Imperial Basic Training ===
 +
The Imperial Basic Training Academy, located on Prakith, is the first port of call for all recruits into the Galactic Empire. It is a universal right of passage, with all Imperials from the Empress to the newest graduate sharing the same experiences, which helps to greatly increase the solidarity and unity of Imperial forces. This intensive course has been designed and developed over the years to educate recruits in a cross section of Imperial Life, outlining the standards expected of Imperial Citizens and Officers, and also provides instruction on protocol and law. After graduation there is branch specific training also handled by the Academy, and upon completion recruits will be promoted and posted to their first assignments. As mentioned above, Imperial training never stops and all officers and commanders routinely find themselves back at the academy to enhance their skills and knowledge on the Imperial world.
  
The Department of gaming, represented by the Imperial Gaming Commission (IGC), is a subdivision of COMPNOR tasked with the regulation of gambling, gaming, and sports within the Empire. The IGC's role is to ensure all events are run fairly and that winnings are correctly distributed. Funding for games and prizes are provided by the Galactic Empire and from donations from private individuals.
 
 
The department was founded midway through Year 9 as a result of the Gambling and Gaming (GAG) Act of Year 9 in order to combat Imperials from becoming victims of theft or fraud, and helping combat illegal gambling activities related to corruption and criminal organizations trying to make a profit inside Imperial space. The law requires organizers of lotteries, raffles, and tournaments to apply for a license to run events and to be supervised by Imperial Gaming Commission members.
 
  
The IGC staff consists of a Director and Deputy Director who are tasked with the planning and implementation of the various contests sponsored by the commission. Some contests are free to enter, while some have entry fees. Details of the entry requirements for each contest are posted in the IGC section of the COMMCENT.
+
=== Imperial Centre for Recruitment ===
 +
The [[Imperial Centre of Recruitment]] (ICR) handles all official, external recruitment efforts for the Galactic Empire. An ICR Recruitment Officers message on Darkness is usually many Imperial's first point of contact with the Galactic Empire, but the support doesn't stop there with an extensive network of Imperial recruiters spread across the galaxy and throughout various communications systems to help any potential recruits find their way onto the right path.  
  
Contests hosted by the IGC include:

The Imperial Centre of Recruitment (ICR) is made up of the Director, Deputy Director, Recruitment Officers and Recruitment Support Officers. ICR handles all official, external  recruitment efforts for the Galactic Empire. An ICR Recruitment Officers message on Darkness is usually many Imperial's first point of contact with the Galactic Empire. Whether it is a Recruitment Officer or a Recruitment Support Officer on IRC chat, all are qualified to both answer your questions and help you take the necessary steps to join the Galactic Empire.

The Galactic Empire requires a large level of advanced communication infrastructure to coordinate its operations on a galaxy wide scale. These systems support all branches and departments, from the distribution of news via the Imperial Information Service, to the fast paced relay of front line orders, therefore it is vital that they stay functional and secure. This momentous task is undertaken by the Imperial Holonet Service (IHS) and its team of skilled engineers who work tirelessly constantly maintaining and improving all systems and platforms.
  
The Imperial Academy is currently made up of the Dean of Imperial Basic Training (IBT), Assistant Dean of IBT, and Training Officers. The Academy is the first port of call for all recruits into the Empire, and also offers many courses aimed to develop Imperial Citizens as they progress through their lifetime of Imperial Service. Initial recruits start the Imperial Academy in the School of Imperial Basic Training where they undergo an intensive course designed to educate them in a cross section of Imperial Life, outlining the standards expected of Imperial Citizens and Officers, and also provides instruction on protocol and law. After graduation there is branch specific training also handled by the Academy, and upon completion recruits will be promoted and posted to their first assignments. Throughout their career, Citizens may be sent back to the Academy to take further courses in preparation for command positions or for further schooling in specific roles.

All imperials who wish to run their own raffles, games, gambling events etc will need to first apply for the relevant permit via the department secretary. The IGC has two variants of staff, with the Imperial Gaming Coordinators being responsible for the running of events including (but not limited to) lotteries, raffles, sports leagues and game tournaments. There are also Imperial Scenario Moderators who are responsible for the moderation of department run role play scenarios.

The Imperial Information Service consolidates the Imperial News Bureau, the Imperial Archives, the Imperial Bureau of Stellar Charts and Surveys and the two major routine publications of Iron Will and Imperial Geographic into one overarching organization.

In order to ensure that the IIS is working at maximum efficiency, the duties of the department are divided amongst several projects, each with its own staff and project manager. There are always several projects running at any given moment, allowing members of the information service to dedicate themselves to a project that is in line with their preferences and skill sets. Regular duties of the department include maintaining the imperial archives, performing geographical surveys, updating historical and geographical records, providing the galaxy with high quality news services and organizing cultural events for all Imperials to participate in.

These allow an ordinary citizen to become involved with projects without having to pass the rigorous requirements to become a full member of the Coalition of Culture. Each public project is headed by a member of the department who is responsible for leading the participants in the right direction and ensuring the tasks set out by the director are completed in a satisfactory manner. The Director oversees all projects and dictates their purposes and staffing.

Without the efforts of the Imperial Information Service, Citizens could be subject to dangerous misinformation and deception by those who seek to harm the Empire. Consequently, the service plays an important role for the Empire, offering the galactic Citizenry the chance to further educate themselves in a manner that is consistent with the goals of the coalition. It safeguards the cultural integrity of the Empire and seeks to preserve the truth for current and future generations.
