The Imperial Diplomatic Corps, also known as the Diplomatic Service or Diplo-Serv, was a much-honored branch of the Imperial Military that functioned as a diplomatic body, bringing new worlds into the Galactic Empire and enforcing Imperial standards during Emperor Palpatine's New Order.

HistoryEdit

In 3 BBY, Imperial Intelligence agent Jahan Cross' cover story was that he was assigned to the Diplomatic Service.^[1]

Captain Zeta Traal was a member of the Imperial Diplomatic Corps and was assigned to act as an official attaché to the royal regent Zelor on the planet Velmor in 3 ABY.^[2]

Following the death of Palpatine at the Battle of Endor, the Imperial Diplomatic Corps found it had acquired a new role—keeping worlds already in the Empire from leaving. This task strained the resources of the Corps, and junior diplomats that would have been closely-supervised in the past were given greater autonomy as a result.^[3]

In the Fel and Sith Empires, the Diplomatic Corps was under the control of Moff Fehlaaur'aitel'loro, a Chiss. The organization knew Jedi Master Kol Skywalker but knew nothing of his son.^[4]
