The Imperial Future Council, or IFC, was a group of high ranking officials of the fragmenting Galactic Empire who met on the planet Akiva after the Battle of Endor to decide the future of the Empire. They included financier Arsin Crassus, General Jylia Shale, Imperial adviser Yupe Tashu, Grand Moff Valco Pandion, and Admiral Rae Sloane. The members of this council could not come to an agreement on most issues, forcing Sloane, the leader and organizer of the meeting, to often make decisions on her own without the full consensus of the group.
