I.M.P.S.: The Relentless

I.M.P.S.: The Relentless is a fan film that made its debut on the internet in 2005, created by fans of the Star Wars franchise. I.M.P.S. (Imperial Military Personnel Stories) aims to show "the best damn job in the galaxy", that of serving on the Revenge class Star Destroyer Relentless as it goes on patrols and missions. The series is divided into chapters, with only one released to date.

After the popularity of the fan film Troops, members of the original cast and crew began work on a sequel. I.M.P.S. took on a more serious tone, similar to documentaries about Naval Aircraft Carriers, their battle groups, crews and missions. While no longer a specific parody like Troops, the film does have some humor and homages to a variety of other popular films. I.M.P.S. boasts very high production values, original music and professional visual effects, including narration by Peter Cullen.

Production began in April 1999 on an ice cap at the top of Mount Shasta in Siskiyou County, California, while post production has continued through 2007. Most of the sets were built in a 400 square-foot garage in Glendale, California.
