- "Imperial Intelligence's Internal Security division is currently investigating Talmont."
- ―Governor Tour Aryon, about Prefect Eugene Talmont
The Internal Security Branch, known as IntSec, was a branch within Imperial Intelligence's Internal Organization Bureau. IntSec was charged with the physical security of Imperial Intelligence's facilities and personnel. Originally considered a posting for those who were unambitious, IntSec revamped itself in the wake of the increasing threat posed by the Alliance to Restore the Republic. Their personnel and procedures were upgraded and retooled; however, the stigma of their previous incarnation remained and they were often the butt of jokes through Intelligence. IntSec personnel were the only Intelligence personnel permitted to openly carry weapons. They also employed plainclothes operatives who patrolled outside Intelligence installations to spot and contain potential threats before they arose.[2]
History
At some point during the Empire's reign, Ysanne Isard served as the Security Director of Internal Security.[1]
During the Galactic Civil War, the Internal Security investigated the Imperial Prefect of Tatooine Eugene Talmont.[3]
Behind the scenes
The Internal Security Branch was first mentioned in Imperial Sourcebook.[2] The 2003 "Coruscant: Center of the Empire" abbreviated Imperial Intelligence's Internal Security to ISB,[1] although the Imperial Sourcebook stated that the ISB was an abbreviation of the Imperial Security Bureau, which it established to be a rival organization of the Internal Security Branch and the Imperial Intelligence.[2]
