In order to ensure our security and continued stability, the Republic will be reorganized into the First Galactic Empire, for a safe and secure society! |  |
| — The Emperor |
The Galactic Empire--also known as the First Galactic Empire, Palpatine's New Order, the Imperium, or simply the Empire--is the galactic government established by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine to replace the Galactic Republic
and, in effect, bring Sith rule to the galaxy.
The Republic, which had lasted for at least 25,000 years, ended following a period of intense political turmoil and the subsequent devastation of the Clone Wars. In the final stages of the wars, Chancellor Palpatine (by then ruling with near-absolute power) began a purge of the Jedi Order and then proclaimed himself Emperor of the galaxy and reorganized the Galactic Republic into "the first Galactic Empire" on the galactic capital, Coruscant.
