Record Recovery Guild

The Record Recovery Guild was a secret institution of Imperial field agents whose duty was to recover and sometimes destroy various records in the form of ancient holocrons, datapads, and other archives to prevent knowledge of the Sith Order's complex history from becoming public accessible. Record Recovery agents, often in cooperation with Inquisitors and sanctioned bounty hunters, captured or assassinated individuals such as treasure hunters and criminal scribes who accessed this information or possessed the necessary means to do so. The Guild's headquarters on Coruscant contained the Imperial Withheld Data Complex, which contained all classified records of the galactic community's history including that of the Sith and Jedi; the Data Complex also contained records of almost all subspace communications between members of the Jedi High Council and the Office of the Supreme Chancellor, which included a recording of Palpatine's Order 66. While most Record Recovery agents wore civilian attire and were equipped with various blaster pistols, some were known to operate using modified stormtrooper armor with an E-11 or DC-17M blaster rifle.
