Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire

The Galactic Empire during Legacy era was the galactic government in 130 ABY. It was a continuation of the Imperial Remnant established by Daala and Gilad Pellaeon.

History
At some point, following the Second Corellian Insurrection, the Imperial Remnant once again began to gain strength. Under Fel I, the Imperial Remnant started the Victory Without War program.

Retaking the title of Galactic Empire, Fel allied himself with the newly formed Sith, who sabotaged reconstruction efforts on Yuuzhan Vong-terraformed worlds, to the detriment of the planets' inhabitents. The Galactic Alliance soon found itself facing a secession movement mirroring that of the Seperatists.The Empire used this situation to entice Alliance member worlds to join the fledgling new Galactic Empire. But the Empire wanted all of the Republic worlds, including its capital.

Eventually, having envoked the Treaty of Anaxes, the Sith-Imperial War broke out, which resulted in the fall of Coruscant, and the reestablishment of the Empire as the primary galactic government. The remnants of the Alliance were absorbed into the Empire.

After Alliance defeat and the Massacre of Ossus, the Sith under Darth Krayt turned against the Emperor Roan Fel and begun a new war.

Behind the scenes

 * It was speculated among fans that the Legacy-era Empire may have originated from the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances following the Second Corellian Insurrection in 40 ABY.
 * In Star Wars Insider 87, John Ostrander considers the new Empire "not as inherently evil, but still not a republic, not a democracy. It's the rule of the few, or the one, over the many. It has a lot of strengths; it has a substantial amount of weaknesses. It (sic) values power more than anything else."
