Imperial Palace Guard

The Imperial Palace Guard, also called the Palace Security and Palace Procession, was an elite unit that served under the Imperial Security Bureau. It was made up of various squadrons from nearly every branch of the Imperial Armed Forces, including the Imperial Army, Imperial Navy, and the Stormtrooper Corps. It was commanded by the Imperial High Council and Galactic Emperor Palpatine himself.

One notable member of the Palace Guard was Meiji Volkov, an ace pilot from the Navy. He was responsible for saving the Emperor's life, and in addition to a medal along with a life-extension serum, he received a position in the Palace Security's air defense.
