The Inquisitorius, also known as the Imperial Inquisition, was a secret division of Imperial Intelligence consisting of Dark Side Force-sensitive agents known as Inquisitors (sometimes also as Inquisitioners), or "truth officers".

Under the control of Palpatine and Darth Vader, these Inquisitors were considered the highest ranking of the Dark Side Adepts, outranking the Emperor's Hands, Prophets of the Dark Side, and lesser Dark Jedi. Reporting directly to the Emperor or the Supreme Commander, they were officially classified as part of Imperial Intelligence however, still outranked a bulk of the Galactic Empire's ranks.

Many members of the Inquisitorius became warlords after the Battle of Endor, although the organization technically continued to exist in a greatly diminished capacity. It briefly saw a return to prominence during the reign of Emperor Damascus before it was dissolved completely once Thrawn became the Regent of the Empire.

Many of the responsibilities that were once handled by the Inquisitorius are now overseen by Oremin and the Knights of the Empire.
