Gideon's Imperial remnant

"Is the world more peaceful since the revolution?"

- "The Client"

A remnant of the Galactic Empire was active around 9 ABY during the rise of the New Republic. It was under the control of Moff Gideon. Around the year 9 ABY, the remnant came into contact with "the Mandalorian," a bounty hunter whom the Client hired to locate and retrieve "the Child."

Although the Mandalorian was able to take the Child back to the Client, he had a change of heart and took him back. The Client's forces proceeded to occupy the city on Nevarro. The Mandalorian eventually returned to the planet to kill the Client but Gideon beat him to it and surrounded the bounty hunter and his allies at the Nevarro cantina. Simultaneously, a pair of Gideon's scout troopers were able to capture the Child.

Post-Empire
"It is good to restore the natural order of things after a period of such disarray."

- "The Client"

During the era of the New Republic, Moff Gideon presided over a remnant of the Galactic Empire after its collapse, which had a facility on the rocky and volcanic planet of Nevarro. This faction was supported by a group of mercenaries&mdash;former stormtroopers who served as guards for "the Client" as well as the Imperial scientist Doctor Pershing.

The hunt
"I have a camtono of Beskar waiting for you upon the delivery of the asset."

- "The Client" to "the Mandalorian"

Around 9 ABY, the Client hired a Mandalorian bounty hunter sent by the Bounty Hunters' Guild leader Greef Karga to locate and acquire a highly valuable "asset" on Arvala-7. In return, the Client offered "the Mandalorian" a substantial reward in Beskar, an alloy that the Empire confiscated during the Great Purge. Aside from the age of the asset, which was approximately fifty years-old, the Client offered little else to help the Mandalorian. Nevertheless, he was confident that such a highly skilled and expensive warrior would complete the task.

After returning from Arvala-7, the Mandalorian fulfilled his commission by giving "the Child" to the Client. Once the Mandalorian was gone, the Client and Pershing argued about the infant, with the Client demanding he simply remove the material that they needed from the Child even if the procedure resulted in his death. Pershing refused, reminding the Client that they had orders to deliver him alive, after which the Client warned Pershing that his safety was no longer assured. Soon after, the Mandalorian returned to rescue the Child, resulting in a firefight with the facility's stormtroopers. Though outnumbered, the Mandalorian defeated the troopers and ultimately escaped from the facility with the Child.

Coaxing the Mandalorian
"You may think you have some idea of what you are in possession of, but you do not."

- Gideon, to the Mandalorian

Following the theft of the Child, the Client and his forces occupied the city on Nevarro. A number of bounty hunters tried and failed to recapture the Child, and so a plan was put in place for Karga to lure the Mandalorian back to the planet to kill him. However, after the Child saved Karga's life, he killed his guards and sided with the Mandalorian.

Planning to kill the Client instead, Karga brought the Mandalorian handcuffed to the city with a decoy of the Child and Cara Dune. The Client talked to the bounty hunter in the Nevarro cantina, where he suggested there were those on Nevarro who'd welcome back the order and thus "peace and prosperity" offered by an Imperial presence. He further asked why Mandalore resisted Imperial expansion and claimed the Empire improved every system it touched. After there discussion, the Client was contacted by Gideon via hologram, who then ordered a squad of Death troopers outside to fire on the cantina, killing the Client and his guards. Gideon then flew down beside the cantina, backed by his Death troopers and many stormtroopers. Meanwhile, the scout troopers were able to track down and retake the Child, killing his guardian, Kuiil.

At the cantina, the Gideon began talking across to the Mandalorian, Karga and Dune from outside, emphasising the Child's importance to him.

Military
"We have you four to one."

Formed from the disbanded Imperial Military. the military forces under the remnant were well bolstered by both regular stormtroopers and also former stormtroopers who were mercenaries, serving as bodyguards. It also consisted of death troopers, at least one Incinerator Stormtrooper, and a Imperial Troop Transport as well as utilising 74-Z speeder bikes piloted by scout troopers. Their leader, Moff Gideon, used an Outland TIE fighter. They also owned at least one RA-7 protocol droid, who served the cantina as the bartender after the remnant's occupation of Nevarro.
