Galactic Empire

The First Galactic Empire, simply known as the Empire is the dictatorship government that replaced the Galactic Republic within the Star Wars Universe. 
They are major antagonists of Fortnite, serving as the secondary antagonists of Fortnite: Battle Royale as well as LEGO Fortnite: Odyssey. 
==Overview==
The Galactic Empire is a fascist dictatorship led by Emperor Palpatine and his apprentice, the Commander-in-Chief Darth Vader. They train many ranks and special corps of Stormtroopers to protect and expand their territory, as well as to fight against rebel forces. After their defeat, several of their remnants attempted to overthrow the New Repuplic, notably the alliance of Imperial remnants led by the Shadow Council, which was awaiting the return of Grand Admiral Thrawn. Other imperial remnants hid in unknown regions, while the cult of Sith Eternal went on Exegol of those same region. These imperial remnants later became the First Order while those on exegol became the Final Order Fleet, which later worked alongside the First Order before being both destroyed at the same time.
