Imperials are one of the main enemies in Jedi Knight series, aside from stormtroopers. The term "Imperial" is also used as a general term for anyone, associated or serving the Galactic Empire.
Background
Imperial Officer or their analogues had been in existence since long before the formation of the Galactic Empire by Palpatine. The Sith Empires of the old times had similar ranks within their military, as seen during the Jedi Civil War. The Empire of the True Sith also held such positions.
During the Clone Wars, clone troopers were the initial unit to fight off the separatists, however some time later the officers within the clones were also distinguished. Ordinary humans filled these positions by the end of the war with absolute removal of any clone from the army after Order 66. Republic Officers were in service of the new Imperial army, when Darth Vader and Palpatine observed the construction of the Death Star.
