Intergalactic Zoological Society
this research association was formed on the planet Mycroft during the height of the Old Republic, and endured decades of political turmoil to emerge as the New Republic's primary zoological research center. The members of the society were strongly opposed to siding with any government or political party, believing that the knowledge of life should not have political boundaries. Thus, they strove to remain a neutral organization during the Clone Wars. During the era of the New Order, it was renamed as the Imperial Zoological Society. More open-minded than the Imperial Zoological Agency, the Intergalactic Zoological Society was known for its wondrous publications, which brought the galaxy's zoological diversity to the common being.
