Imperial Period

The Imperial Era took place from around the time of the establishment of the Galactic Empire in 19 BBY to the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY, referring to the period in which the Empire had the greatest power in galaxy. It was also known by such nicknames as the Imperium or Jedi Twilight. The Imperial Era consisted of isolated conflicts and events that occurred on certain rebellious planets which attempted to fight against the new Empire's reign. It also included the early years of the Galactic Civil War.

The Imperial Era brought about the popularity of Vader's Fist, the 501st Legion of Imperial stormtroopers, who were responsible for settling many of these revolts. It also introduced the fearsome Darth Vader, epitome of the Empire's dark rule. This part of the Imperial Era in which the Empire remained fairly stable and crushed a few small rebel forces is often called the Age of Imperial Conquest. During this period, the Empire simply needed to retain the power they already had obtained, rather than starting to build up their power from scratch.

This Age of Imperial Conquest ended in 0 BBY with the Battle of Yavin, the first great battle of the Galactic Civil War.
