The Admiralty served as the primary governing body of the Galactic Empire, overseeing the functions of the Imperial Navy. Its influence extended to the management of military actions, such as the Berch Teller campaign. This department was widely recognized for its preference for a strategy centered on deploying numerous, purpose-built ships, leading it to consider the TIE/sk x1 experimental air superiority fighter an uneconomical use of resources. The Admiralty was a component of the Imperial High Command.
