COMPNOR

The Commission for the Preservation of the New Order (COMPNOR) is an umbrella organization for various entities that is designed to maintain support for Emperor Palpatine's New Order.

=History=

COMPNOR, which replaces the Universal Republic's COMPOR, orginates as a popular idelolgical organization, and the Emperor quickly acted to draw it into his sphere of influence—within months of the Declaration of the New Order, the cultural and youth groups had been grafted onto the pre-existing framework of COMPOR. Crueya Vandron, one of the Emperor's advisors, plays an important role in establishing COMPNOR as an asset of the Empire, with Sate Pestage and Ishin-Il-Raz also play important roles.

Under the leadership of Vandron and Il-Raz, COMPNOR gains a powerful hold over the Empire, and its organs insinuated themselves into every corner of society. The Imperial Security Bureau (ISB) is established as a branch of COMPNOR to act as a counterweight to Imperial Intelligence, and it becomes the Emperor's all-pervasive secret police organization. The Coalition for Progress establishes monitoring agencies to keep track of all aspects of life.

COMPNOR also influences the Imperial bureaucracy, which was technically under the control of the Imperial Senate. The organization is able to place its members, indoctrinated to be loyal to Emperor Palpatine, in every level of government bureaucracy, thus strengthening the Emperor's hold over the Empire.

In 0 B, the Imperial Senate was suspended by direct order of Emperor Palpatine. The end of the Senate left the field wide open for COMPNOR to step in. For all the power of the Moffs and Grand Moffs, COMPNOR stands behind them, still more powerful.

=Idelogy=

The New Order, which is the underlying ideology of the Galactic Empire, is strongly supported by COMPNOR. It criticizes the perceived decadence and weakness of the Republic, and advocates an authoritarian and militaristic social and political culture.

The New Order emphasizes Human supermacy, with alien species like Wookiees, Calandrians, and Lurrians subjected to slavery or else outright discrimination. Antislavery laws are repealed and legislation legalizing the persecution of aliens is passed. As a result, the vast majority of the government officials is composed of Humans, with only rare exceptions like Grand Admiral Thrawn climbing in the ranks of the military.

A high degree of male chauvinism is also seen in the Empire's military and government. Combining this with the alien persecution, the Empire is often referred to as having non-HuMan policies.
