DESCRIPTION
The war with the New Imperial Order has far proven a highly expensive exercise for the Sith Empire. With battles raging in theatres across Mygeeto and Muunilist, Borosk and Troska, and Jaemus and Dubrillion, the Sith-Imperial Legion and Armada have commenced massive expansion programs to increase their military might. Such acquisitions are not cheap and have required the Sith-Imperial Banking Clan to issue additional Sith-Imperial Credits to cover the costs of these procurements.
The flood of new credits into the Sith-Imperial economy threatens hyperinflation and complete economic collapse. The war bonds, in particular Tranche Aurek, are designed to remove currency from the market and stabilise the value of the Sith-Imperial Credit.
All Sith-Imperial citizens are expected to purchase a share of Tranche Aurek bonds relative to their income and wealth. The Revenue Collection Authority is planning to tour worlds where sales are low and conduct public ‘re-education’ sessions to encourage sales. If sales remain low, Lord Inquisitor
Adriana Fortemps
and the Saaraishash will descend on the world to deal with the disloyal citizenry.
The Tranche Besh bonds are targetted at non-Sith Empire investors and offer more competitive returns on investment, though still below market averages. They are designed to provide a modest injection of foreign capital into the Sith-Imperial economy. As the securities are held by foreign citizens, approval to purchase must be given by the Foreign Investment Board.

SPECIAL FEATURES
- Digital currency - the bonds are issued electronically and can be stored on holodiscs or datachips for safekeeping. While physical credit chips were considered, it was decided that precious medals were better saved for military manufacturing.
STRENGTHS
- Accessible - a wide range of denominations are available to cater to all budgets. The bonds can be purchased over the holonet, from your local SIBC branch or the nearest ORDIS chapter, or from certified door-to-door salespersons.
- Patriotic duty - citizens who purchase war bonds can add a special identifier to their ORDIS-issued identification card to display their support of the Sith-Empire.
WEAKNESSES
- Low rate of return - the bonds have a low rate on investment (around 3-5 per cent), significantly less than average stock market performance.
- Risky investment - the bonds will only pay out if the Sith Empire is in a good financial position in 5-10 years when the bonds are due to mature.
