The Imperial Archives is a large facility situated on Coruscant. It contains a multitude of corridors and rooms, several of which are public research areas containing info-consoles and archaic documents for public use. The Archives also contains a public database that can be accessed anywhere in the Galaxy.

Overview

The Archives is a fathomless collection of ancient knowledge and research dating back thousands of years, the Archives serves as a repository for journals and artefacts and is open at all hours to all Imperials citizens in need of information. The Archives also contains several vaults of varying degrees of security. The main vault is perhaps the most heavily guarded room in the Archives. Stormtroopers and other Imperial officials stand guard at the vault 24 hours a day, and it's contents is not publicly listed. Other rooms in the Archives hold scale models of different planets, like Coruscant, Corellia, and Naboo and there is also one room near the centre of the Archives that contains a large star-map. Apart from the public research areas the Archives also contains conference rooms, and private studies for the Imperial Archivists who painstakingly document the Galaxy day and night. Both the Imperial Security Bureau and Imperial Intelligence also operate in the Archives.

Public Research Halls

The Imperial Archives, "Drayson Hall", Coruscant.

The First Hall

The First Hall, also known as the "Grand Public Research Hall" or the "Drayson Hall" after the first Galactic Emperor, is the main entrance to the Archives due to the great, hand-carved wooden doors at its front displaying the Imperial Crest in gold leaf. Above the doors runs the phrase "Knowledge, Order, Power". The First Hall contains COMPNOR's great records on philosophy and manuscripts detailing the downfall of the Republic and the rise of the Galactic Empire. Personal journals of over a ten million Imperials are also held here. Two smaller wings break away from the First Hall; the 1st, the "Ancient History Research Wing", and the 2nd, the "Imperial Military Archives".

The Second Hall

The Second Hall, or the "Suntzu Hall" after the second Galactic Emperor, runs perpendicular to the first and third halls, the Second Hall contained data dedicated to mathematical and engineering sciences. Works related to the topics on hyperspace and how to achieve it and construct engines and vehicles capable of such feats are among the blue-glowing Stacks. Floor-plans of the galaxy's government buildings and other points of interest are found here, along with many manufacturers' weapon designs and other engineering feats by MInd.

The Third Hall

The Third Hall, or the "Bonias Hall" after the third Galactic Emperor, is directly opposite the first and filled with information on the geography and culture of each and every known planet. Including starmaps of interstellar and planetary regions, and detailed analysis on specific civilizations are updated and stored here. The Imperial Regional Government often contributes to this section, adding new planetary details as worlds are discovered and documented.

The Fourth Hall

The Fourth Hall, or the "Spytek Hall" after the fourth Galactic Emperor, running on the same plane as the second is also split into two smaller wings; each dedicated to zoological research relating information on every known species of flora and fauna in the galaxy.

The Imperial Gallery

The Imperial Gallery, Imperial Archives Gallery, or "Cherokee Gallery" after the tenth Galactic Emperor, is a large new wing to the rear of the Imperial Archives that was commissioned by Imperial Art collector Crueya Vandron and developed under the approval of Vizier Galdarzz Aalon in mid year 12. The Gallery now houses some of the Galaxy's finest paintings, sculptures, holographic art and other curios.

The Command Centre

Near the centre of the Archives is the Command Centre, or "Central Chamber", the access point from which any Archivist can explore the Archives. Advanced terminals in the Command Centre allow Archivists to access any of the hundreds of rooms in the Archives, narrowing down their searches to a specific area. Carpeted in red, the chamber's center piece is a large database station used by the Director and Principal Librarian of the Imperial Archives to keep record of the documents stored in the Stacks and those who access them. Foot traffic in the Command Centre is typically banned and an Imperial "Covert" security clearance is required to enter. The Command Centre itself is a massive, circular chamber with arching doorways stretching to the ceiling, and grants anyone inside the area a physical view of all the public areas.

Database

The Imperial Archives boasts the largest information database that can be accessed anywhere in the Galaxy; on datapads, holonets and other info-consoles. The database is the premier Galactic source of information on all aspects of the Galaxy. This includes information about the Galaxy at large - such as planetary, spacecraft, technology and species details - as well as personal and psychological information of both Imperial and non-Imperial individuals of the galaxy. Historical events such as wars and battles, political upheavals, poignant social events as well as a record of various galactic cultural endeavours, within such mediums as art, music, theatre and science.


Leadership and History

Leadership

The Imperial Archives are managed and maintained, which includes the reviewing, organizing and security of the articles within, whilst making sure they don't violate any protocols and are appropriate for the Galactic Public, by the Director and Principal Librarian of the Imperial Archives under the direct supervision of the Director of Culture, the Vizier for Progress and the Director of Imperial Intelligence.

The Director of the Imperial Archives is the head of the Imperial Archives based on Coruscant. The Director is responsible for the institution's general administration and reported its accounts to the Minister of Culture and/or Vizier of the Coalition for Progress. At the Archive's inception, its most senior member of staff was called 'Principal Librarian'. The job title became 'Director and Principal Librarian' in Year 10 Day 43. On Year 11 Day 93, the position was abolished by the Grand Vizier only to be recreated again on Year 12 Day 86. Principal Librarian of the Imperial Archives (Y9 D175)

Reformation - Year 12

Feldure working on the main Archive database.

On Y12 D39 Lasidious von Feldure was personally requested by Vizier Vaan to evaluate the Imperial Archives in preparation for a reform that he would head. The Archives had fallen into a minor state of chaos; The database system had not been kept up to date to a high enough standard and had, itself, become outdated. Feldure alongside II Director Ventidius went about redesigning the main layout of the Archive database, ripping out the unnecessary elements that had developed over the years and replacing it with a far more concise and appropriate system for the modern Galactic Public.

On first accessing the database Feldure had discovered that a vast majority of Imperial historical events had been left undocumented or worse still had been doctored. Other articles were out of date or missing vital information. He went about correcting this, reprogramming the database's main information category and storage system and removing dysfunctional staff members and hiring new. With the help of various Imperial command members he was also able to recover some documents and holo-recordings that had fallen out of public hands and re-display them within the Archives. Other than documents and other data, artifacts slowly began arriving for display and storage in the Archives. One distinct artifact was the Ser Scott Hampton painting of Emperor Cherokee that hung in the Grand Public Research Hall for several weeks. The initial reform was a great success and Feldure was soon appointed Director of the Imperial Archives by the Director of Culture, Gunther Rall under the approval of Grand Vizier Jorus Taidan.
