"We are an Empire ruled by the majority! An Empire ruled by a new Constitution! An Empire of laws, not of politicians! An Empire devoted to the preservation of a just society. Of a safe and secure society! We are an Empire that will stand for ten thousand years!"
Current Emperor/Empress: Astren
The Galactic Empire, also known as the New Order, the Old Empire, the First Galactic Empire, Palpatine's New Order, the Imperium or simply the Empire, was the galactic government established by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine to replace the Galactic Republic in 19 BBY and bring Sith rule to the galaxy.
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 Systems were killed on Mustafar by Darth Vader, Palpatine began a purge of the Jedi Order, declared himself Emperor of the galaxy and reorganized the Galactic Republic into the first Galactic Empire.
At this point in the RP the Empire is still using the Clone Troopers of the Republic, however they are starting to refit them to be the Storm Troopers of the Empire. The Moff System has not yet been implimented due to the death of Emperor Palpatine and the Imperial Council still stands with the Current Emperor to rule over the Galaxy.
The Empire has several means of defense and offense, the most prominent is their clone army. The Clone Army consists of upwards of 3,000,000 clones however more can be grown every day. The Clones are genetically modified to be at the top of their physical abilities all the time and do not experience much in the way of fear.
The Clone Army also has a Navy for which they travel with and serve. The Navy consists of the Newly Developed Imperial Star Destroyers, and the TIE series of fighters, interceptors, and bombers. When deploying into combat the Clones usually drop in Low Altitude Assault Transport/Infantry drop ships. These weapons are strong and efficient both as killing machines and as deployment vehicals.
Currently the other defense of the Empire is the Grand Inquisition, a group of Sith Warriors who serve the Emperor exclusively and have the soul purpose to hunt down Jedi and Traitors to the Galactic Empire. Merciless, cunning, and always on the look out the Inquisition is tasked with either converting Jedi to the Inquisition, or killing them. Traitors are to be tortured then sent to Dathomir to serve the rest of their lives in a Prison Camp.
In order to become an Inquisitor you must first be tested and examined by Imperial Intelligence to prove they are both Force Sensitive and a Loyal Member of the Empire. After wards they would be personally questioned by the Grand Inquisitor and finally after him, the Emperor himself. There are several ranks to the Inquisition's higher archy. Whatever the highest says goes, the rest are charged with working it all out.
