———————————————

The final years of the old republic were marked by the betrayal of the values upon which it had been founded. The dedication to justice , culture, and civic duty that for a thousand years had maintained peace and balance across the galaxy rotted away under a tide of apathy and timidity .

Senators who had vowed to advance the interests of their people instead grew enamored with fleeting distractions of fame and the cultivation of personal wealth.The core worlds grew vain and capricious , demanding ever more from those relegated to life on the rim while those on the frontier became bitter , resenting a government increasingly distant and unfeeling .

There were no victors in the clone wars . The conflict had laid bare to the galaxy the frailty of the Galactic Republic , and the treachery of its most stalwart defenders.

When the Confederacy of Independent Systems was finally destroyed and the Jedi Order Overthrown , a New order was needed to preserve the galaxy that countless billions had fought and died to win . A decadent democracy was torn down , its corrupt institutions and abettors swept away . In its place , rose a regime dedicated to pure ideals and a higher purpose. In all the ages past and since , no declaration has shaken the very foundations of the universe so much as the establishment of the first Galactic Empire.

Many governments across history have claimed authority over the entire galaxy.Such affirmations were largely for symbolic or political purpose , and hardly an accurate reflection of the limits of their sovereignty.

The Galactic Empire shared this same rhetoric but for the first time , its words were strengthened by actions . In place of the amalgamation of planetary governments, industrial concerns , and corporate institutions that had shared authority within the Galactic Republic , Imperial rule embraced the centralization of political power.Planets that under the Republic had retained degrees of sovereignty, were integrated directly into the Imperial Bureaucracy.

Coruscant had long been the traditional planetary capital of the galaxy, but as the Imperial throne world its influence rosé exponentially.

The Galactic Empire existed as an autocracy, with supreme power vested in a single individual. For the majority of its history , this figure was Emperor Sheev Palpatine .

The Emperor served as the Head of State , Head of Government, and the Supreme Commander of the imperial armed forces . His power was subject to neither external legal restraints or regulated by any mechanisms of public control.

Policies affecting any aspect of the state could be unilaterally implemented at the Emperor's discretion.

The uppermost levels of imperial power structure were composed of both formal and informal institutions.The Imperial Ruling Council was a collective body of the Emperor's closest advisors and delegated considerable responsibilities in managing the daily affairs of the state.

And of those Imperial Advisors , many were in tune with some of the wealthiest Corporations galaxy wide .
