- "We set out to expose key figures from all over the Empire to all our readers, to preserve and exalt their accomplishments. But most importantly, we set out to celebrate the ethos that makes us Imperials, and the successes each of us achieve as a matter of course"
- — Iron Will editorial
Iron Will is the flagship publication of the Imperial Information Service, a journal bringing top class reporting and news about the galaxy from an Imperial perspective. Available for purchase to officers, citizens and allies throughout Imperial Union space, Iron Will has long sought to spread knowledge of the great achievements and innovations brought by pioneering personnel in all branches of the Empire.
In Year 20 the magazine was rebooted under Editor Phaedra Thester, and in a new first became available outside Imperial and allied territory. Widespread distribution and popularity has been reported on neutral and hostile worlds, as sentients of all species were exposed to the glories of the New Order for the first time in their lives.
Iron Will has received repeated acclaim for the unrivalled quality of its exclusive interviews, often held with important and influential individuals who would otherwise avoid the spotlight in their dedication to duty.
