New Galactic Empire

The **New Galactic Empire** was the name given to the secular successor state to the Galactic Sith Empire, established as a result of the Sith purge by Sorris Valorum and other Imperial officers. It was more often referred to as the **Galactic Empire**, or simply **the Empire**, by those seeing it as a continuation of the Old Galactic Empire.

## History

### Galactic Sith Empire

In 23 ABY, the Sith of Korriban conquered the Imperial Remnant at the end of the Sith-Imperial Remnant War. This resulted in the creation of the Galactic Sith Empire, a theocratic state under the rule of the Order of Sith Lords. However, a provision of the Treaty of Jaemus, which ended the conflict, allowed Moff Sorris Valorum, the head of the Imperial Remnant, to remain as the Moff of the Braxant Sector and its fortress capital of Bastion. Though this provision allowed the Sith to preserve their fleet from besieging the unassailable planet, it also allowed the strongly anti-Sith Valorum to survive and eventually plot his revenge.

### Origins of the Coup

In the intervening decade, Sorris Valorum patiently waited until the time was right for his revenge. He earned the trust of the Sith by being an efficient and practical leader and offering his support in conflicts when the Empire was threatened. He made contacts in many branches of Imperial authority, including many former allies who had been pardoned and sworn allegiance to the Sith. Among these were Marshal Terrence Horne, Moffs Matyas Lucan and Rian Aleston, and ISB Captain Marsha Ridelli.

However, the Empire was strong and virile under the leadership of Empress Darth Calamitous, and Valorum knew his coup could not succeed. This was until the Empress was killed and usurped in 29 ABY by a fellow Sith Lord, Vice Emperor Darth Foel. This led to a period of instability in the Empire which was compounded by Foel's own death at the hands of Empress Darth Jaxuath. The latter ruled for about a year until her death on Coruscant in 30 ABY. The last Sith Emperor, Lord Codian, withdrew the Empire into a defensive posture in order to address increasing internal turmoil. By 30 ABY, the aging Sorris Valorum believed he had enough support to initiate his long planned coup.

At some point, Darth Tarburz became aware of Valorum's plans. Rather than expose Valorum, however, the Sith Lord who believed in reinstating the Rule of Two, agreed to help orchestrate the downfall of the Sith. To this end, he commissioned the Kaminoans to create a clone army using Eclipse Guard Carth Wulain as the genetic template. The army was ready within 3 years and was presented to the Sith Lords of the Empire as a gift. However, these soldiers were programmed and trained to eliminate the Sith they purported to protect.

### The Coup

Darth Tarburz relayed the command for his soldiers to eliminate their Sith Lords and simultaneously, Moff Sorris Valorum and his allies initiated their takeover of major worlds throughout Imperial Space. The takeover was swift and absolute as discontent with Sith rule had reached a height.

## Organization

After the rise to power of Grand Moff Valorum and his allies, the core territory of the New Galactic Empire was divided into twelve sectors, each somewhat larger than the old imperial sectors. Each sector would be governed by a Moff, a civilian or military political figure. The territories controlled by the Empire which stood within Mandalorian space was divided into four exarchates, each controlled by an exarch who was a military figure, either an Admiral or General. These exarchates were administered directly by the military, given their need for increased defense and readiness in the case of Mandalorian attack.
