Brief Synopsis

The Imperial Department of Military Research (IDMR) provides de–classified technical information on galactic tools of war, and oversees the development of new forms of Imperial military technology. Its HoloNet site is an officer's first resource for background & technical information about Star Wars technology (as it pertains to the GE universe), as well as information and/or tools for "slicing" GE–supported game platforms.

The Imperial Department of Military Research is also the appointed first level of review for all newly–proposed GE game modifications or "patches", and may grant sound proposals "IDMR Approved" status in one of three phases: Design (conceptual stage), Experimental (alpha/beta development), or Prototype (stable release).

Any declassified prototype technologies at the IDMR's HoloNet site have been declared stable for personal officer use & experimentation... After receiving the required personal evaluation copy of a new prototype technology, the Supreme Commander may elect to extend the Imperial budget and escalate it to the production phase, which would see the technology fully implemented into official GE operations.

Be it noted that while engaging in R&D, the staff of the IDMR typically operates from the Imperial Production Laboratories: a group of highly–secret labs built by the Empire for the research and development of new technologies.
