| - The Galactic Empire, also known as the New Order, the Old Empire, the First Galactic Empire, Palpatine's Empire, the Universal Imperium, the Imperium, or simply as The Empire, is the universal government established by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine to replace the Galactic Republic in 19 BBY and bring Sith rule to the Universe. The Republic, which had lasted intermittently for 25,034 years, ended following a period of intense political turmoil and the devastation of the Clone Wars. After General Grievous was defeated at the Battle of Utapau, and shortly after the leaders of the Confederacy of Independent Dimensions were killed on Mustafar by Darth Vader, Palpatine began a purge of the Jedi Order, declared himself Galactic Emperor (Emperor of the Universe), and reorganized the Galactic Republic into "the first Galactic Empire". Emperor Palpatine, in his Declaration of the New Order, promised the Empire would be bringing safety, security, and justice to the Universe. However, that has turned out to be anything but. The Galactic Empire has become hated all across the Universe for it's destruction or devastation of entire dimensions, the brutal enslavement of millions of species all across the Universe, the suppression of political dissent or disagreement, the use of the military and the Death Star to control the population by fear of force rather then force itself, and the brutal suppression of anything anti-Imperial. The Empire's territory, as of its present extent, consists of nearly five hundred million dimensions spread across the known Universe, spanning primarily from the Universal Core to Wild Space.
