Imperial Space

The Imperial Space, also called Bastion space or Imperial Sector, was the term given to the region of space controled by the Galactic Empire, and later the Imperial Remnant, after the New Republic was become the main galactic government. During the waning years of the Galactic Civil War, the Borderland Regions was a region at the edge of Imperial Space that seperated the New Republic from the Remnant.

Little Empires : 7 - 8 ABY


After the fall of Coruscant and the Core Worlds in 6 ABY, the Empire lost the status of galactic government. At this time, almost the entire rest of the imperial territory was shared between warlords.

The true Imperial territory included some sectors compressed between Zsinj's Empire and the Pentastar Alignment in Outer Rim Territories, a region at the south of Pentastar Alignment from Inner Rim to Outer Rim and some star systems dispersed in all the galaxy.

After the death of Grand Admiral Zsinj, Admiral Teren Rogriss managed in recapturing a small part of the Zsinj's Empire along the Hydian Way but it was quickly defeated.



Thrawn's Empire : 9 ABY
During his short but prolific campaign, Grand Admiral Thrawn conquered a very large amount of sectors and star systems, expanding his empire in all regions of the galaxy, from the Outer Rim Territories to the Core Worlds. At the moment of his death, he controlled more than a third of the galaxy, an equivalent territory than the New Republic. The Empire will never be as large until the Fel Empire.

The Dark Empire : 10 - 11 ABY


After have come back from the death, reborn Emperor Palaptine unified the different warlords and Imperial factions and launched the Operation Shadow Hand in order to restore his rule on the galaxy. Using his superweapons, he reconquered an amount of territories from Outer Rim to the Core Worlds.

The Crimson Empire : 11 ABY
This term refered to the color of the armor of the main imperial leader of this period : Carnor Jax. Quickly attacked by the New Republic after his takeover, the former Emperor's Royal Guard and his successors loosed an important part of reborn Palpatine's territory. They conserved only the Outer Rim sectors. More over, the Pentastar Alignment and other warlords regained their independence after Palpatine's death.

Pellaeon's Empire : 12 - 17 ABY


Pellaeon's Empire is the name given to the Imperial Space in 12 ABY, after the Imperial Reunification and the formation of the Imperial Remnant. After the Conference at Tsoss Beacon, Admirals Pellaeon and Daala took the control of a huge territory in the Outer Rim Territories, stretching from the limit of Outer Rim to the Wild Space, and limited at the east by the Hydian Way. This include the former Crimson Empire, Pentastar Alignment and all the warlords' territories.

The eight "backwater" sectors : 17 - 29 ABY
"We still hold eight sectors-over a thousand inhabited systems. We have the Fleet, nearly two hundred Star Destroyers strong. We’re still very much a force to be reckoned with."

- Ardiff



In response of the Imperial agression in 17 ABY, the New Republic launched an important campaign implying the full New Republic Fleet. The Imperial forces were decimated and the Imperial Space reduced to eight sectors. This situation forced Pellaeon to negociate the peace.
