The New Thinking Division functioned as a component within the Imperial Science Bureau under the re-established Sith Empire. A scientist named Nadrin Tro, originating from this specific division of the Bureau, was chosen to assist the Sith in their endeavor on Makeb to obtain isotope-5. In contrast to the average Imperial, Nadrin Tro was not a human; rather, he was a Neimoidian picked for his dedication to the Empire.
