  The fact the empire had restrictions on the core worlds with who could own weapons implies the existence of an imperial version of the ATF which implies the existence of the Star Wars prohibition era

  The difference was similar to the difference between Wehrmacht intelligence service; the Abwehr, and the Waffen SS. One was the intelligence branch for the main military command structure, while the other worked at the behest of the Nazi Party and answered only to Hitler, while being composed of people super loyal to the regime.

  Random, but I just love the fact that Admiral Yularen as an ISB officer was technically in ANH; since, in Rebels, they designed him to look exactly like that Imperial ISB officer that was sitting with the other Imperial officials and Vader in that meeting held on the Death Star.

  Easy<br>Imperial Intelligence is a apolitical, professional organization <br>ISB, the Imperial Security Bureau, is a political organization that also dabbles in intelligence gathering, etc… as well as focusing politics, culture, youth organizing, and ‘Party’ politics

  I know this is a Star Wars video but given the opening part just thought it’s important to note the US/CIA/FBI/other intelligence agencies are also politically driven especially ones like the CIA that work internationally. There’s that old cliche of it being “Capitalism’s Invisible Army” for precisely those ideological reasons.

  Another important distinction is the general attitude toward the Rebellion. &nbsp;To the II and Imperial Military generally, the rebels were enemies. &nbsp;Yes, you fight your enemies, but you can respect, and even in some ways admire them. &nbsp;To the ISB, the rebels were effectively heretics. &nbsp;They had seen the &quot;truth&quot; according to Compnor and rejected it. &nbsp;You don&apos;t respect heretics; you most certainly don&apos;t admire them. &nbsp;You simply destest them, as they are no more worthy of respect or mercy than a bug or a discarded food wrapper. &nbsp;You either dispose of it or recycle it into something useful via the Reeducation Corps.

  And this STILL doesn’t scratch the surface of Imperial Intelligence. &nbsp;All those divisions have subdivisions under them (this is probably why some think there are smaller agencies in the Empire). &nbsp;Though in practice, the only one who aren’t office workers are the Operations agents. &nbsp;If you meet someone from II, they are almost certainly in Operations. &nbsp;If they kill you, they are a part of the Assassination office. &nbsp;If he’s a double agent, that’s Infiltration. &nbsp;And if, suddenly, the commander of a Rebel garrison suddenly turns on the government of the Rebel colony and begins rounding up people for a purge, congratulations! &nbsp;You’ve just been visited by Destabilization (Destab), the department that makes even Assassination queasy.
