Lobot-Tech headgear was an Imperial technology designed to increase productivity in low-level workers. The cybernetic implant, however, would often erase the personality of its subject and, occasionally, cause their behavior to become erratic. Lando Calrissian's aide utilized the technology, as did a Rodian named Tseebo, who used the Lobot-Tech headgear to steal Imperial data and plans.

Capital City is the bustling hub of Lothal, featuring local merchants, industrial facilities, skyscrapers, and a large citizenry. During the reign of the Empire, Imperial occupation became the norm, with stormtroopers and Imperial officers bringing fear and tyranny to the once peaceful city.

After the Empire discovered that Old Jho -- owner of the popular Old Jho's Pit Stop cantina -- was aiding rebels, they arrested and executed him. The Empire assumed ownership of the watering hole, placing it under the stewardship of Valen Rudor. There, Rudor once again encountered the rebels. He led a hunt for Ezra Bridger and his friends through the city's underground tunnels, but was unable to apprehend them.

Minister Maketh Tua was a proud member of the Empire. With the rise of the Lothal rebels, Minister Tua gained the ire of Grand Moff Tarkin. Darth Vader and Agent Kallus informed her that she would meet with the Imperial leader, and Tua knew her life was in danger. She secretly contacted the Ghost team, looking for safe passage off Lothal in return for the Empire’s secrets. While they were wary, the rebels agreed and set a rendezvous point. It was not to be, however; Darth Vader knew that Tua would try and escape, and used it to his advantage. After she boarded her shuttle and the rebels neared to escort the Minister, the ship exploded. It was all a setup meant to draw out and frame the rebels. Tua was killed, a tool used for Vader’s evil machinations.

Arrogant and cruel, Commandant Cumberlayne Aresko was an uncompromising Imperial officer stationed on Lothal. He would charge citizens with treason for any kind of anti-Empire sentiment, and was quick to report the Ghost crew of rebels to the Imperial Security Bureau. Aresko supervised Lothal’s Imperial Academy, where cadets competed to become Imperial officers and stormtroopers. His repeated failures to apprehend Lothal’s rebels eventually cost him his life – the Inquisitor ignited his lightsaber and executed Aresko on orders from Grand Moff Tarkin.

Tasked personally by Darth Vader with a mission to destroy all children of the Force, the Inquisitor was given access to the Empire's latest technologies. The Inquisitor's TIE Advanced prototype was superior to typical TIE fighters, featuring faster engines, S-foils with more efficient solar gather panels, upgraded laser cannons, and a projectile launcher that fired Imperial XX-23 S-Thread Tracers.

The Imperial Troop Transport was used to move the Empire's soldiers from location to location, or to forcibly relocate prisoners on occupied worlds. It was developed by Ubrikkian Industries, and while not designed for combat, the vehicle is still an intimidating threat, well armed and with sturdy armor.

One-man vehicles designed for speed, Lothal Speeder Bikes featured a white color scheme and were outfitted with forward blaster cannons. Cargo could be attached to the rear of the hovering vehicles and moved quickly, though the real value of Imperial Speeder Bikes came from their ability to chase suspected rebels or suspects.

A breed of feline native to Lothal and often found in the grassy plains of the Outer Rim planet, Loth-cats are small, temperamental animals. While at times they can be friendly — and indeed, make affectionate pets when domesticated — Loth-cats are able hunters with sharp teeth and claws.

Old Jho is a longtime resident of Lothal who saw the planet go through many changes -- including its eventual descent into a center for Imperial administration. He owns Old Jho's Pit Stop saloon, a popular destination in a Lothal spaceport, and helps rebels looking to strike against the Empire.

Located in a Lothal spaceport, Old Jho's Pit Stop is a popular cantina for locals and travelers alike.

HoloNet News was the official state-sanctioned news agency of the Empire, with anchor Alton Kastle delivering broadcasts on key issues and occurrences of the day. Briefs were sent via hyperspace transmission that allowed instantaneous connection throughout the galaxy. The HoloNet News was taken over by the Republic during the Clone Wars to ensure that information was not compromised by enemy forces, and became the mouthpiece of the Empire. The Ministry of Information's Pollux Hax oversaw the agency, ensuring that stories were consistent with government messaging.
