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, and included the individual known as "the Client" and the scientist Dr. Pershing.

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."

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, "the Client" presided over a remnant of the Galactic Empire after its collapse, which was based in a facility on 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, he brought the Mandalorian handcuffed to the Nevarro cantina with a decoy of the Child. The Client talked to the bounty hunter, but was soon contacted by Gideon, who ordered a squad of Death troopers 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, and began talking across to the Mandalorian, Karga, and their friend Cara Dune.

Military
The remnant was bolstered by both regular stormtroopers as well as a group of Remnant Stormtroopers in employment, a ragtag army of mercenaries. It also consisted of death troopers, at least one Incinerator Stormtrooper, an Outland TIE fighter, and at least one Imperial Troop Transport.
