The Imperial Database served as an information repository utilized by Imperial Intelligence. Within this system, records were kept detailing the organizational ties of individuals within the Galactic Empire who were also part of the Imperial Military. These records included the member's rank, certifications demonstrating proficiency with various Imperial vehicles like the TIE/LN starfighter, the TIE/IN interceptor, the TIE/sa bomber, and the TIE Avenger, commendations such as Medals awarded to Imperial personnel, decorations for accomplishments achieved during combat, and summaries of their performance in battle.
In the game Star Wars: TIE Fighter and its associated expansions, the Imperial Database functioned as the outcome display. Its purpose was analogous to that of the Farlander Uniform screen featured in Star Wars: X-Wing.
