## 5 ABY to 9 ABY • Birth of a New Republic

*When the second Death Star was destroyed and the Emperor defeated, a thousand star systems declared their alliance to the Rebels and the Empire was shattered in dozens of factions warring for control. Planning for an eventual event, the Emperor initiates Operation Cinder to reduce a number of core Imperial worlds to ashes to unify his scattered fleet to rally in the Unknown Regions, however it is mostly unsuccessful.*

*A year after the Battle of Endor, an extremist faction called the* True Empire *led by Mas Amedda, is defeated over Jakku. Other factions rise and fall over the next few years as the newly-created New Republic actively begins to liberate planets from these Imperial Warlords and their various factions.*

*In this period, the Rebel Alliance becomes the New Republic and reclaims Coruscant. This era of freedom and victories comes to a shocking halt when Grand Admiral Thrawn returns from the Unknown Regions.*

*The New Republic has retaken Coruscant, defeated several Imperial warlords, and thousands of planets are members of the new senate.*

*The newfound peace is abruptly ended when the scattered Imperial Remnants rally under a surprise threat - the mysterious and enigmatic Grand Admiral Thrawn! Striking blow after blow against the New Republic, he is eventually betrayed and murdered on his flagship, the Chimaera. After his defeat, a large number of Imperial vessels leave for the Unknown Regions, significantly reducing the Imperial threat. There are lingering questions regarding Thrawn's true motives, but he destabilized a galaxy committed to peace and demilitarization - something the New Republic will take years to recover from.*

*To this end, they re-double their efforts of rebuilding and protecting the new government, however there is a new threat posed by Admiral Daala who has uncovered resources to power her Imperial faction - the other main faction rallying under Admiral Pallaeon, Thrawn's second in command.*

*Under this shadow, Luke Skywalker begins his Jedi Academy, Boba Fett returns to Tatooine to take control of Jabba's old syndicate, and a lone Mandalorian returns to Mandalore...*
