Many within the Imperial Military infrastructure tend to believe that the ISB had been established by Palpatine himself, as a way to exert a measure of control over the regular military, thereby ensuring that none of its leaders could grow strong enough to challenge him for control of the Empire.

The Imperial Security Bureau, also simply called Imperial Security or the ISB, is a law enforcement and internal intelligence organization of the Galactic Empire.
