Galactic Empire Also known as the First Galactic Empire and briefly called the Empire, and later the Old Empire It was the dictator who took over the Galactic Republic at the end of the Clone Wars. The Empire rose to power, however, promising to bring order to the galaxy. but the empire was ruled by violent military rule and aggressive expansion The later imperial era would last only two decades. Because it was eventually overthrown by the Alliance to restore the Republic in the Galactic Civil War. But before that, the sovereign star systems of the galaxy were also largely occupied and oppressed by imperialist forces.
The First Galactic Empire traces its origins to the Sith’s plans to destroy the Jedi Order and regain control of the galaxy. The Empire is secretly controlled by the Sith. Because the Emperor of the galaxy is Darth Sidious, Lord Sith, ruled by his apprentice Darth Vader. Darth Sidious, serving as Supreme Commander, rose to power through popular support. and tapped into anti-Jedi and anti-droid sentiment. and human prejudice stemming from the devastating Clone Wars, Darth Sidious declared himself Emperor at the end of the war. Vowing to provide security and stability to the war-torn Republic, Darth Sidious received overwhelming approval from the Galactic Senate. and staged a coup by the Jedi. and with the assistance of his right-hand man, Darth Vader, oversaw the subsequent annihilation of the galaxy.
The empire was rarely challenged during its rise to power. Backed by the Imperial Senate and the spread of vast technological military forces throughout the galaxy, the Galactic Empire was initially a constitutional monarchy according to basic principles, but slowly evolved into a class system but as the power of the Imperial Senate declined Many rebel factions rose up against the Empire and slowly band together to form a growing rebellion Four years before the Battle of Yavin these rebels eventually formed the Rebel Alliance two years before the Battle of Yavin. and gained his first major victory by stealing a diagram of the Death Star on Scarif. As a result, the Death Star was destroyed 0 years before the Battle of Yavin. The Empire won a major victory on Hoth three years before the Battle of Yavin. But the Empire suffered a cruel defeat a year later at the Battle of Endor. During the battle, Darth Sidious was killed by his former pupil Anakin Skywalker. Mochal who died shortly after this ended the rule of the Sith. The empire was collapsing. And the Galactic Republic rose again.
When the emperor and his important aides died The empire then split into separate kingdoms with different moffs, admirals and generals. Many of them ignored the authority of Mas Amedda, the Grand Steward of the capital, and became commanders as the Empire continued its fight against the Republic. The Imperial Navy was led by the loyal Admiral Rae Sloan, although she was a puppet of Admiral Gallius Rax, causing Sloane to fall from power and become Emperor, and assume the title as adviser to the Empire under Rax's command the Empire 5 He made his final stand at the Battle of Jakku in ABY and was defeated and surrendered to the New Republic. When hostilities ended, the Galactic Concordance was signed. and the defeated Empire officially transitioned to the new Republic
In the ensuing years in the New Republic Era, many opponents of the Empire continued to oppose the New Republic, while the First Order gained legitimacy by claiming the legacy of the Empire. And that was the beginning of the secret weapons project but little did they know that they were being controlled by a new, hidden plan. A secret cult on the Lost World got close to the spirit of Exegol Darth Sidious and built a fleet of ships to herald a new Sith Empire but the cult’s efforts ultimately failed. Since they were opposed by the Resistance and the Jedi Order, the First Order ended.
