This has a lot of detailed information on the imperial government, however the military aspects are lacking. If you want simple information such as the statistics of a TIE-Bomber or a how many squadrons and troops a Star Destroyer carries, you won't find that information here. Worse yet, the order of battle diagrams that take up several pages appear to use symbols that weren't included on the key. At best, it's a good look at the Empire from a broad perspective. At worst, it's vague and unhelpful.

This is also the older edition of the book. If you want the latest edition, you should look at the hard cover, ISBN 0-87431-210-8.

If you are a GM or just a Star Wars fan and you'd like to know more about the Empire, this is an invaluable text. It lacks some of the "readability" of the Rebel Alliance book, but is still full of good information on the Empire. It is worth the price of admission just for the extra capital ships that are described. They'd add a lot to any game. This is a very fitting companion to the other West End SW sourcebooks.

This has everything you want to know about the Imperial war machine, From Blaster pistoles To Super Star Destroyers this has it all.
