Detachment: Imperial Officer Corps
Context: Andor
ISB Attendants are junior officers of the Imperial Security Bureau who serve as assistants to ISB Supervisors. They were delegated various responsibilities by their commanding officers, but sometimes also held specific appointments, such as manning the ISB datavault. The ISB Attendants worked in the ISB Central Office on Coruscant, often within the offices of their superiors.


For 501st membership only the requirements in black need to be met.

The Imperial Officer Corps defines additional, optional levels of costuming excellence. In the page below, requirements for Level 2 “Executor” are listed in blue. Requirements for Level 3 “Imperator” are listed in red.
