"Explore the galaxy... Join the Imperial Navy"
―Poster caption[1]

Join the Imperial Navy was a propaganda poster by the Galactic Empire, encouraging people to join the Imperial Navy. The poster depicts four Imperial-class Star Destroyers viewed from the surface flying overhead with a white-colored planetary body looming overhead, alongside three TIE fighters, and a Gozanti-class cruiser. In addition, two red banners are streaking around the bottom, with the words written in High Galactic, on the top and bottom, respectively, "EXPLORE THE GALAXY..." and "JOIN THE IMPERIAL NAVY", with the first two words being just outside the bottom red banner. The Imperial crest is barely visible between the two red streaks.[1]

There was also an alternate version of the poster that was written in Aurebesh rather than High Galactic.[2] It could be seen in the streets of a town outside the Capital City on Lothal shortly before the Spectres' infiltration of the Imperial Armory Complex;[3] and at the time of the theft of the TIE Defender Elite, the poster appeared in the streets of the village Jhothal and in Old Jho's Pit Stop.[2]
