Commission for the Preservation of the New Order

The Commission for the Preservation of the New Order, or COMPNOR, was an umbrella organization for various entities that were designed to maintain support for Emperor Palpatine's New Order.

History


COMPNOR, which replaced the Galactic Republic's Commission for the Protection of the Republic, or COMPOR, originated as a popular ideological organization, and the Emperor quickly acted to draw it into his sphere of influence&mdash;within months of the Declaration of the New Order, the cultural and youth groups had been grafted onto the pre-existing framework of COMPOR. Crueya Vandron, one of the Emperor's advisors, played an important role in establishing COMPNOR as an asset of the Empire, with Sate Pestage and Ishin-Il-Raz also playing important roles.

In 0 BBY, the Imperial Senate was suspended by direct order of Emperor Palpatine. The end of the Senate left the field wide open for COMPNOR to step in. For all the power of the Moffs and Grand Moffs, COMPNOR stood behind them, still more powerful.

Ideology
The New Order, which was the underlying ideology of the Galactic Empire was strongly supported by COMPNOR. It criticized the pereived decadence and weakness of the Republic, and advocated an authoritarian and militaristic social and political culture. It shaped and policed many aspects of society, from research to art to the military.

Recent History
After the fragmentation of the Empire in 4 ABY, COMPNOR remained intact, its members remaining fanatically loyal to the New Order, which was then represented by the Interim Ruling Council. COMPNOR was elevated in power under the reign of Bacharan Valak, and as of 15 ABY has been restored to its pre-Endor status and efficiency.
