'''IDB'''s, or Imperial Design Bureaus, are government-sponsored design offices that have been commissioned by the Imperial Government for the development of advanced technology, especially for military application. Initially created on an ad-hoc basis to systematize the remaining design, testing, and manufacturing capacity that had otherwise been lost by the [[Kalirion Fracture]], this practice became systematized in the 1690s AN, as similar schemes that had been implemented by the [[Guttuli Protectorate]] and [[Drak-Modan]] were integrated into the Shirerithian economy. Many IDBs are simply redesignations of existing companies that have been otherwise contracted to provide work to the Imperial Government.
