The Intelligence Division of the Imperial Army functioned as a separate intelligence body within the Army branch of the Galactic Empire's military structure. To carry out covert operations, Imperial Army Intelligence made use of E522 assassin droids and collaborated with the Imperial Security Bureau, employing them as assassins and auxiliary forces. Nevertheless, a sense of mistrust existed between Army Intelligence and the ISB, stemming from the Bureau's ability to easily level accusations against Army officers, potentially hindering their professional advancement.
The initial reference to Imperial Army Intelligence appeared in the 2018 role-playing game sourcebook Cyphers and Masks, published by Fantasy Flight Games.
