The Galactic Empire

"'As a government, it betrays the trust given it as successor to the Old Republic. It is unresponsive to the wishes of the beings it governs. It ignores their needs and oppresses them when they resist its tyranny. As such, it invalidates the purpose of a galactic government as initially stated: to serve the sapient life of the galaxy.' - Mon Mothma, Quote from 'Why do we fight the Empire?'"

The Galactic Empire was a fascist dictatorship being the dominant power in the Galaxy.

After Operation Cinder, the Contingency Plan, the Galactic Concordance and with all the changes to the political climate, most of the Empire had either left mysteriously to the Unknown Regions or legally remained in designated territories in the core. However several splinter factions would not conform, blatantly disregarding both Palpatine and Mon Mothma's orders. Several Imperial Remnants remained.

The Empire, which was allowed to remain within designated territories, soon started to dissolve leaving hardline Imperial enclaves which soon identified themselves as Imperial Remnants. The Reincarnation which controlled Kuat and the Prell Consortium which controlled Corellia both had ambitious plans of either defeating the other Remnants or unifying them under their rule as well as to take down the New Republic and reinstate the Empire to its former glory. Meanwhile, the other Imperial Remnants were getting hunted down and defeated by the New Republic, some chose to assimilate with the new regime. This left the three strongest to remain: the Imperial Federation, Outer Rim Authority and United Planets of Cerea. Conflicts would break out between the New Republic and these remnants as well as conflicts between remnants. Alliances would form and even new political entities such as the Confederacy to Restore the Empire were made. The Imperial Federation, United Planets of Cerea and Prell Consortium would unite to form the Confederacy, commonly refered to as the CRE. CRE and the Outer Rim Authority became very powerful and a major threat to the New Republic. Senators of the New Republic would authorise military conflict as a way to stop this and thus the Second Galactic Civil War was started. The Imperial factions took many victories and pressured the New Republic into peace under their terms. During the conflicts, the Imperial factions united to form the Second Galactic Empire. The Second Empire and New Republic would form a treaty to ensure peace, dubbed the Restoration of the Concordance.
