Imperial Remnant

The Imperial Remnant is a state formed from the unified holdings and rump states of various Imperial warlords who had ruled their own territories in the Galactic North following the final collapse of the Empire in 10 ABY. As the galaxy's largest remaining Imperial power, the Remnant adheres to the tenets of its predecessor's and Emperor Palpatine's New Order. Although slavery and anti-alien sentiment were abolished, the Remnant maintains a sizable military and limited public expression. Led by a Council of Moffs and the Supreme Commander of the Imperial Military from its inception in 10 ABY, the Remnant was later ruled by a Head of State, which eventually became a democratically elected office in a wave of sweeping reforms. The citizens of the Imperial Remnant remained under its rule by their own choice, as lined out in the terms of the Galactic Concordance and Bastion Accords. Its capital world is Bastion.

The Remnant was born in 10 ABY when Admiral Gilad Pellaeon led the United Imperial Fleets—themselves formed when Admiral Natasi Daala killed thirteen squabbling warlords and unified their holdings—out of the Galaxy's Deep Core and united them with surviving Imperial forces from the Mid and Outer Rim. With a well-defined stretch of territory and several Executor-class Star Dreadnoughts in their possession, Pellaeon was elected Supreme Commander by the Moffs of the Rim factions. He called the new state the True Empire, but it was also known as Pellaeon's Empire or simply the Empire. After a series of lost battles, one of his loyal Admirals Tira Bashorye urged him to plea for peace to secure what he had accomplished already, and, in hope of preserving the newly founded state, Pellaeon sued for peace in 10 ABY; although his efforts were nearly undermined by an attempted coup d'état of the Triumverate of Imperials, he exposed them as traitors and signed the negotiated peace treaties with New Republic Chancellor Ponc Gavrimson.

After Pellaeon willfully resigned from office in 12 ABY, Admiral Bashorye was elected as the Supreme Commander and swiftly introduced a wave of reforms that would liberalize the lives of its population, reforming its government and acknowledging the New Republic as an equal partner in galactic politics.
