The Imperial Information Office was a branch of Imperial Intelligence, which along with the Imperial Security Bureau was one of the Galactic Empire’s two major intelligence agencies. Several IIO workers wore AJ^6 cyborg constructs, brain implants which could connect to computers and download information, to increase efficiency. As a branch of Imperial Intelligence, IIO operatives had access to Imperial Intelligence resources such as the IGV-55 surveillance vessel, which were used to monitor communications and scan data for signs of rebel activity and sedition.
