Sector Monitors, functioning as non-military espionage organizations, operated under the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order's Coalition for Progress. These groups gathered data regarding cultural advancements inside the Galactic Empire, enabling government bodies to intervene when "adjustments" were deemed necessary.
Sector Monitors employed their extensive monitoring system to observe advancements in artistic endeavors, scientific fields, educational institutions, commercial activities, and legal systems. Information concerning questionable actions was relayed by the Sector Monitors to the Imperial Security Bureau, whereas details pertaining to cultural deviations opposing the New Order were communicated to the Coalition for Improvements.
