The Commission for the Preservation of the New Order (aka COMPNOR) was a government agency of the Galactic Empire that was dedicated to spreading Imperial propaganda throughout the galaxy.
It starting out originally as the Commission for the Protection of the Republic (aka COMPOR) during the last years of the Galactic Republic. Following Emperor Palpatine's declaration of a new Empire, the organization became known as COMPNOR.
During the next two decades, COMPNOR used propaganda techniques to ensure broad patriotic support for the Empire and its leaders. COMPNOR supported the xenophobic and human supremacist attitudes of the Empire, using its propaganda against aliens - denigrating them as "foreign" and "strange" animals.
Within COMPNOR there were a number of sub groups designed to ensure that Imperial ideals were reinforced throughout the galaxy. The Sub-Adult Group in COMPNOR was a youth group dedicated to ensuring that children learned and espoused Imperial ideals.
