## What they stand for

A military state of Moffs, governors and Imperial Intelligence, with the Sith Order above it. Led by the Dark Council, the Sith decide what the Empire is for.

Some worlds now sit firmly in the Empire's iron grip. Whether their people welcome that order, profit from it or simply endure it depends on who you ask.

## History

Nearly thirty years ago the Empire returned from deep in the Unknown Regions, a power the galaxy had thought long gone. It conquered half the galaxy, burned Coruscant, and forced the Republic to the treaty table. See [Setting and Tone](/books/house-rules-and-setting-notes/page/setting-and-tone).
