==History==
When Sheev Palpatine proclaimed himself Emperor in front of the whole Galactic Senate, he promised that his new regime would usher in a thousand years of peace by ending the corruption and ineptitude of the old political system of democracy.Servants of the Empire: Edge of the Galaxy
Early into the Empire, a series of sub-commissions began blueprinting what role the "ideal" Imperial citizen would serve in a political religion that would come to be known as the New Order. The Empire's officious tone was appealing to dissatisfied youths who felt powerless and victimized. To them, the Empire offered a chance at retribution and an intoxicating brand of power.
==Ideology==
The stated chief values of the regime were order, control, and the rule of law.Aftermath However, the Declaration of Rebellion issued by the Alliance to Restore the Republic against the Imperial regime invoked the language of law and democracy to assert that the Empire ruled via systematic oppression that imposed unjust laws without the consent of the governed. Other values included unity through civic pride, patriotism, militarism, and the supremacy of the state under a cult of personality for Emperor Palpatine—fascism.Star Wars Propaganda: A History of Persuasive Art in the Galaxy Xenophobia and humanocentrism were key points of New Order policy and were justified by Imperials as a natural extension of purported the human right to rule.Aftermath: Life Debt
