Galactic Empire: A History of Oppression

The Galactic Empire, also known as the New Order, the Old Empire, the First Galactic Empire, Palpatine's Empire, the Universal Imperium, the Imperium, or simply as The Empire, is the universal government established by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine to replace the Galactic Republic in 19 BBY and bring Sith rule to the Universe.

The Republic, which had lasted intermittently for 25,034 years, ended following a period of intense political turmoil and the devastation of the Clone Wars. After General Grievous was defeated at the Battle of Utapau, and shortly after the leaders of the Confederacy of Independent Dimensions were killed on Mustafar by Darth Vader, Palpatine began a purge of the Jedi Order, declared himself Galactic Emperor (Emperor of the Universe), and reorganized the Galactic Republic into "the first Galactic Empire".

Emperor Palpatine, in his Declaration of the New Order, promised the Empire would be bringing safety, security, and justice to the Universe. However, that has turned out to be anything but. The Galactic Empire has become hated all across the Universe for it's destruction or devastation of entire dimensions, the brutal enslavement of millions of species all across the Universe, the suppression of political dissent or disagreement, the use of the military and the Death Star to control the population by fear of force rather then force itself, and the brutal suppression of anything anti-Imperial.

The Empire's territory, as of its present extent, consists of nearly five hundred million dimensions spread across the known Universe, spanning primarily from the Universal Core to Wild Space.

19 BBY

 * Count Dooku, the Head of State of the Confederacy of Independent Dimensions, was killed on the Invincible Hand by Anakin Skywalker.
 * Asjai Ventress, Dark Acloyte and Commander of the Separatist Armies, was killed on Boz Pity by Obi-Wan Kenobi and clone troopers.
 * General Grevious, Supreme Commander of the Separatist Forces, was killed on Utapau by Obi-Wan Kenobi.
 * Chancellor Palpatine becomes an absolute dictator with the passage of the Security Act Amendment, which had been drafted by the Chancellor himself. The amendment abolished Jedi and Senatorial oversight over the military, placing the Chancellor in direct command of the military and giving him absolute power over military operations. The Jedi Council was now also placed under the Chancellor's oversight, providing him the constitutional authority to disband the Jedi Order. After this law is passed, the Senate is effectively reduced to a legislative rubber-stamp body.
 * Palpatine reveals his secret identity, Darth Sidious, to Anakin Skywalker, who reports him to Mace Windu.
 * Windu and three other Jedi Masters unsucessfully attempt to arrest the Chancellor. Palpatine killed all but Windu, who was able to disarm him. Anakin then came in, and before Windu killed Palpatine, who was disfigured due to a failed lightning attack, sliced off Windu's sword hand. Palpatine then used Force Lightning to electrocute and kill Windu.
 * Anakin Skywalker becomes the new apprentice of the Chancellor, Darth Vader. Under the Chancellor's orders, Vader and the future 501st legion slaughters the Jedi at their temple. Meanwhile, Palpatine issued Order 66, a Universe-wide military instruction which commanded the clone commanders to execute their Jedi if they engaged in sedition against the Republic. In some one hundred dimensions and on nearly three hundred worlds throughout Star Wars and Star Trek, nearly fifty million Jedi were killed by their clone troopers. Only one hundred survived Order 66 and the Temple slaughters. These included Yoda, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Quinlan Vos, Olee Starstone, Rahm Kota, Shaak Ti, the Dark Woman, and Plett, among others.
 * On Mustafar, Darth Vader murdered Nute Gunray, Wat Tambor, Shu Mai, Poggle the Lesser, San Hill, and the other Separatist leaders, along with their aides. Vader then sent a decommissioning code across the Holonet system to all Separatist forces across the Universe. In thousands of dimensions, and on nearly seven hundred worlds, quadrillions of battle droids and war robots shut down, dismantling the majority of the Separatist army. Worlds such as Mygetto, Saleucami, Utapau, Kashyyk, Felucia, and Serenno in Star Wars, besides Cardassia Prime, Borg Unicomplex II, Romulus, and Remus in Star Trek fell to Republic forces. The Confederacy of Independent Dimensions dissolved, with the majority of its dimensions and bases being seized by the Republic. With this, the Clone Wars had ended.
 * At the Senate Building, a victorious Chancellor Palpatine, donning burgundy Sith robes, issues his Declaration of a New Order, reorganizing the Galactic Republic into the Galactic Empire, declaring himself absolute Emperor for life, and validating the perscuetion of the Jedi Order. Palpatine promised that the Empire would bring safety, security, and justice to the Universe, and that a new era of prosperity and stability would reign. A intensive process of Imperialization then ensued. The Galactic Senate became the Imperial Senate, while the Grand Army of the Republic and Republic Navy became the Imperial Army and Imperial Navy. All government organizations are reorganized or reformed vigrously. The Commission for the Protection of the Republic (COMPOR) became the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order (COMPNOR). The four intelligence agencies of the Republic were combined to form Imperial Intelligence. The Imperial Security Bureau was formed and all Republic ministries were renamed. Even the names of the capital regions were changed: the Coruscant Sector became the Imperial Sector, Sector Zero became the Imperial Oversector, Coruscant itself was renamed Imperial Center, and Universal City became Imperial City. The Presidential Palace of the Republic became the Imperial Palace.
 * Darth Vader is defeated in battle on Mustafar by Obi-Wan Kenobi and his body suffers severe burns. Emperor Palpatine, who had defeated and driven Yoda away, rescues Vader and takes him to the Medical Reconstruction Center on Coruscant, where he is put into the legendary life suit that he will remain for the rest of his life.
 * Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi go into exile on Dagobah and Tatooine respectively.
 * The Techno Union, Corporate Alliance, Commerce Guild, Trade Federation, Inter-Galactic Banking Clan, Geonosian Industries, and Hyper-Communications Cartel are nationalized and subsumed by the Empire. The Death Star, known to the Separatists as the Secret Weapon, comes into the Empire's possession. In order to insure greater secrecy for the project, and to mask it from the eyes of the Senate and Holonet, the Death Star (still a metal frame) is moved from Geonosis to Despayre, a Imperial penal and slave colony world in the Atravis Sector. The Empire established prison and slave colonies on Despayre, established mining operations on Haroon, and constructed a series of refinement outposts and orbital stardock facilities. A Imperial garrison was installed in Dungeontown, which became Despayre's capital city. Moff Willhuff Tarkin of Star Wars, a proponent of the Death Star project, was appointed supreme supervisor. Separatist engineers and scientists are forced by the Empire to draft new technical plans. The Geonosian hives are enslaved by the Empire and are dispatched as droves of slaves to Despayre.
 * Padme Amidala dies in childbirth, her will to live broken after Skywalker had fallen to the Dark Side. She gave birth to twins, Luke and Leia, on the obsure asteroid medical facility of Pollis Massa. In order to protect the twins from Vader and the Emperor, Yoda, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Bail Organa arranged for them to be separated. Senator Organa and his wife, Queen Breha Organa, adopted Leia on Alderaan. Leia became an Alderannian Princess and was accepted into the royal family. Obi-Wan Kenobi took Luke to Tatooine, giving the baby to Owen and Beru Lars.
 * Romulus and Remus are subjugated and enslaved by the Galactic Empire, as Moff Tarkin petitioned the Emperor to provide his projects with a ready supply of slave labor. Romulan Mineral Foundries, one of the chief corporations which supported the vanquished Separatists, is nationalized by the Empire. Romulan and Reman slaves are forced to toil in the mines of Remus and the factories of Romulus. Nearly 700,000 of their number were deported off their homeworlds and dispatched to Despayre.
 * Cardassia Prime is enslaved by the Galactic Empire, as punishment on the Cardassians for their association with the vanquished Separatists and also to provide more slave labor for the Empire's various projects.
 * In a operation lead by Admiral Wulff Yularen, the Gorn Hegemony, a former ally of the Separatists, is invaded and conquered by the Galactic Empire. Gornar is occupied by Imperial forces, and many Gorns are dispatched as slaves to various penal colonies, including Despayre.
 * The Tholian Assembly and Breen State are invaded and conquered by the Galactic Empire. The Tholians are exterminated by the Imperials, who resettle Tholia, while the Breen are deported from their homeworld to the isolated worlds of Septimius and Ruah. The Borg in the Delta Quadrant are also enslaved by the Empire.
 * Byanus, a respected technical world that had remained loyal to the Republic, is enslaved and nationalized by the Galactic Empire. The technically-proficent Bynars are gathered in groups and deported to Imperial projects, forced to employ their skills for the Empire's purposes. Byanus is declared a emergency security zone and is protected by a fleet of Star Destroyers.
 * The Andorians, Trills, and Tellarites are all enslaved by the Galactic Empire. Andorian shipyards are nationalized and used to produce Star Destroyers, while the mineral resources of the planet Trill are exploited by Imperial mining crews. Tellarite slaves were employed at their world's factories and farms, being also deported to Despayre and other Imperial penal colonies. Denobula was also nationalized by the Galactic Empire, as the Imperials forced Denobulan scientists and engineers to work on developing new plans for various Imperial projects.
 * A group of Jedi assemble on the world of Vulcan in the Star Trek dimension, luring Darth Vader into a trap by releasing rumors that Obi-Wan Kenobi was amongst those in attendance at the Assembly. Vader however, with the assistance of the 501st Legion, slaughtered all eight Jedi in the conclave. Emperor Palpatine released a official statement claiming that Vader had murdered fifty Jedi without any assistance.
 * The X-Men dimension is pacified by the Galactic Empire. The X-Men, once loyal allies to the Galactic Republic, and the Brotherhood of Mutants, who had supported the Separatists, are both exterminated by the Imperials, as the Emperor views the mutant organizations as a threat to his person. The Empire then seized the Professor X Academy for Mutants, reorganizing it into a training academy. Thousands of Class Four and Class Five mutants were assembled and forced to join the Inquisitors or the Dark Adepts. Less powerful mutants were confined in containment facilities established by the Empire throughout the dimension.
 * Kashyyk is invaded and subjugated by the Galactic Empire. This is when the Wookiees, led by Chewbacca and Tarfful, provided resistance to Imperial forces and sheltered several Jedi on the run from the Empire. The Empire enslaved the Wookiees, imprisioning nearly 200,000 of them in the containment facilities of the Wawatt Peninsula. The Trandoshan enslavers were granted the right to track down and capture Wookiee rogues and escaped prisoners. Darth Vader slaughtered all of the Jedi on the planet except Olee Starstone and Quinlan Vos, who managed to flee to Thor and Talos IV respectively.
 * Byss in the Deep Core is colonized by the Galactic Empire. The Emperor's Citadel is constructed by Emperor Palpatine, who used the labor of hundreds of thousands of Wookiee, Lurrian, Toydarian, and Gamorrean slaves. Palpatine fed on their life energies in order to extend his lifetime.
 * Jedi Master Ferus Olin is pursued by the Galactic Empire's agents. With the assistance of Jedi Master Solace, and secret funds provided by Senators such as Mon Mothma and Bail Organa, Olin caused much havoc for the Empire. Revolts on Naboo and Betelgeuse, and in the Narnia, Transformers, Gladiator, Tron, Captain America, Avengers, Green Lantern, and Independence Day dimensions tie up Imperial resources. Olin destroyed Imperial labatories in the Aliens dimension, disrupted a Imperial computer project in the Matrix dimension, and incited anti-Imperial protests in the American and French Revolutionary dimensions. He also foiled a Imperial plot to exterminate the population of Bellassa.
 * Obi-Wan Kenobi halts the attempts of Inquistor Malorum to learn about Padme Amidala's deatrh. As a result, Darth Vader himself embarked on a investigation. Vader learned that Amidala gave birth to twins before her death, but he is unable to learn their genders, names, or locations.
 * Mon Calamari is invaded and subjugated by the Galactic Empire. In a offensive lead by Moff Tarkin, the Mon Calamari and Quarren were enslaved, their aquatic settlements seized, and their shipyards transfered to Imperial authorities. Large numbers of Mon Calamari and Quarren would be put to work on various Imperial projects, while Tarkin himself took the Mon Calamari leader Ackbar as a personal slave.
 * The computer system of the I-Robot dimension is sabatoged by agents of the Galactic Empire. The computer, Vicki, is infected by an Imperial computer virus and seized control of the USB Robots. These robots terrorise the dimension's inhabitants. This is in response to a rebel movement that Olin had organized in the dimension against the Empire.
 * The Emperor blackmailed Olin into helping to develop a cure for a disease that raged on the world of Samaria. This disease was released by the Empire, in order to test Olin's resolve. Olin fell to the Dark Side and became an Imperial Adept, while his associates (including Solace) were murdered by Darth Vader.
 * The Galactic Empire launched the "Vampiric Extermination Campaign", a program devised by the Emperor to eliminate aberrations and cults that could threaten his rule of the Universe. The True Blood dimension is the first victim of this procedure. The Empire launched exterminations of the dimension's vampires, telepaths, wraiths, and witches. Imperial garrisons were installed in the countryside and colonists from other dimensions moved in to repopulate the cities.
 * Cooperating with the So'na Raiders of the Briar Patch, the Galactic Empire invaded and conquered Ba'ku, which had been a ally of the Galactic Republic. The native Ba'ku were enslaved and deported by the Empire, which established mining operations to collect metaphasic radiation in orbit of their world. A Imperial garrison was installed, while So'na and Imperial colonists were moved in to repopulate the world.
 * The Galactic Empire exterminated the werewolves and witches of the Narnia dimension. A major Imperial Garrison Center was established in Cair Paravel, while the Empire also enslaved the dimension's dwarfs, trolls, wraiths, satyrs, and other creatures.

18 BBY

 * The TIE starfighter enters Imperial service. It immediately becomes a symbol of the Galactic Empire’s military strength and oppression over the Universe. It plays a role in each Imperial campaign, massacre, or mission. The first action that employed the TIE fighter was the suppression of a SPECTRE rebel movement in the James Bond dimension.
 * Darth Vader murders Kento Marek on Kashyyk, and takes his five-year old son, Galen Marek, as his Sith apprentice. Vader conditions Marek into a fanatical Sith servant.
 * The Orion Colonies in Star Trek are invaded and conquered by the Galactic Empire. The green-skinned Orions, long loathed in the Star Trek dimension for their heinous lifestyles and their piracy, were enslaved by the Empire. Many Orions were deported throughout the Star Wars and Star Trek dimensions, including to Despayre, where teams were organized and put to work on the Death Star project.
 * Qu'onos is subjugated and enslaved by the Galactic Empire. The war-like but respected Klingons, who had been one of the most loyal alien species in the Republic during the Clone Wars, resisted the Imperial forces fiercely, cutting down large numbers of stormtroopers, but were eventually overwhelmed by technological means. The Empire cleared First City and Tong Vee, established containment camps in the Hamar Mountains, and constructed a orbital defense base over the world. The Empire also nationalized the mining operations of Praxis. Millions of Klingon slaves were forced to labor at these institutions, while others were deported off the world to Despayre.
 * The Galactic Empire granted the Ferengi Commerical Alliance the status of an Imperial Client State, allowing them to retain administrative and military autonomy previously enjoyed under the Galactic Republic. The Ferengi were granted trade preferences and also received a extension of their territory from 500 to 700 star systems. In exchange for this, the Empire collected 34% of Ferengi commerical profits and employed the services of Ferengi as agents, information brokers, slavers, and engineers.
 * The Pirates of the Caribbean dimension is invaded and conquered by the Galactic Empire. The Empire destroyed the Dimensional Pirates, established a military outpost in the dimension, and nationalized the profitable dimensional trade.
 * Ligon II in Star Trek, which had been a member of the Galactic Republic, is invaded and subjugated by the Galactic Empire. The Ligonians, who had a African-based culture and marital arts customs, were enslaved by the Empire. The Compound City was recolonized, a orbital defense base was constructed above the world, and massive mining operations were established to extract Anitegnium, a important Star Trek spice that had medicinal and engineering purposes. Some 150,000 Ligonians were deported by the Empire.
 * Moff Willhuff Tarkin attempted to land in a docking bay on the planet of Ghorman, but a group of Human protestors blocked the pad, proclaiming their resistance to the Galactic Empire. With implied permission from Emperor Palpatine, Tarkin landed the ship anyways, killing and injuring dozens. This becomes known as the Ghorman Massacre. In response to the Ghormanian protests, the Empire enslaved most of the native inhabitants and devastated their cities.
 * Halka, a pacifist world with a primitive native population, is bombarded and annexed by the Galactic Empire. The Halkans had valuable mineral resources, but refused to extract this and had denied the Imperial demands for mineral access. They paid for this decision for their lives, as nearly all of the world's 1.1 billion population was exterminated. The remaining Halkans were deported by the Empire, which established massive mining operations, processing lines, automated plants, and collection shipyards on the world.
 * Rubican III is invaded and conquered by the Galactic Empire. The pacifist Edo, who also possessed valuable mineral reserves and had refused to exploit this, were exterminated by the Empire. The Imperials then resettled the planet and established mines, which were worked by Wookiee, Klignon, and Reman slaves.
 * The Galactic Empire dissolved the Judge Dredd Council of Judges, replacing the body with a Imperial Moff. The Empire exterminated the dimension's cannibalistic bands, destroyed most of the criminal cartels, and expanded the dimension's prison complexes, packed with Jedi Padawans, slaves, and political prisoners.
 * The Galactic Empire imposed sanctions on the Valars and Elves of the Lord of the Rings dimension. The Empire conscripted the remaining Orcs and Dragons into the ranks of the Imperial Inquisitors and Dark Side Adepts, established a military garrison in the dimension, and quarantined the two Magical Species.
 * The world of Rattatak in the Unknown Regions of Star Wars is invaded and conquered by the Galactic Empire. The native Rattaki tribes are enslaved and deported offworld to construction and penal colonies throughout Star Wars.
 * Professor Dumbledore of Hogwarts Academy and Students Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ronald Weasley, work together, providing refuge in the Harry Potter dimension to Jedi Master Plett and his conclave of Padawans and Knights. Emperor Palpatine responded by constructing the Eye of Palpatine, a massive superweapon equipped with projectiles that would have been able to destroy Hogwarts Academy, eliminating the Hogwarts Magicians and the Jedi enclave. The Eye, however, was sabatoged by a cadre of Jedi and magicians led by Jedi Knight Callista Ming, foiling the Emperor's plot. The Jedi enclave, however, was forced to disperse, fleeing to Battle of Los Angeles, Terminator, Gladiator, Judge Dredd, Superman, Batman, John Carter, Hunger Games, Lost in Space, Matrix, True Blood, Stargate, Aliens, and even such dimensions as Cyberchase, The Princess and the Frog, and Shriek. The Empire then established a magical weapons project at the Maw Installation in Star Wars.
 * Darth Vader leads the Imperial subjugation of Naboo, when Imperial spies revealed that Queen Apailana and her Royal Naboo Security Force were providing refuge to numerous Jedi. The Queen was assassinated, the Jedi were murdered, and the Security Force was eliminated. The Empire installed a young Naboo noblewoman, the pro-Imperial Kylantha, as the Queen of Naboo. A Imperial garrison was implanted in Theed and Panaka, former head of Naboo Security under Queen Amidala, was appointed Governor of the Chomell Sector.
 * Moff Willhuff Tarkin of Star Wars proposed the Tarkin Doctrine to Emperor Palpatine, which included the theory that fear of force was more effective than force itself. The Emperor favored this theory and rewarded Tarkin by appointing him the first Grand Moff of the Galactic Empire. Tarkin was assigned the Scientific Oversector, comprising the dimensions of Star Wars, Star Trek, ET, Jurassic Park, Independence Day, Aliens, Stargate, Babylon Five, Lost in Space, Starship Galactica, and numerous others. Other oversectors established included Historical Oversector, Animation Oversector, Commerical Oversector, Romance Oversector, Drama Oversector, Regular Television Oversector, and Criminal Oversector, among others.
 * The Galactic Empire installed garrisons in the Tron dimension and forced the dimensional algorithims to take mathematical simulations. The highest-ranking algorithims were gathered and deported out of the dimension, forced to employ their skills in Imperial projects.
 * Vulcan is subjugated and enslaved by the Galactic Empire. The sacred tombs of Mountain Selaya are demolished, conceration camps are established, and Vulcan scientific academies are seized by Imperial authorities. The Empire deported many Vulcan scientists, physicists, and engineers off world to the Maw Installation and the Despayre site.
 * The Capital Powers Act is implemented by Emperor Palpatine and the Imperial Senate, legalizing the use of lethal force against pirates, criminals, mutineers, non-Imperial slavers, and strange alien specimens.

17 BBY

 * The Separatist holdout of Enarc in the Outer Rim Territories of the Star Wars dimension was overrun and destroyed by the Galactic Empire. Customs Vizier Marath Voroo, who had refused to accept the nationalization of the Trade Federation and had continued to resist the Empire, was captured and executed. The final remaining assets of the Trade Federation were liquidated by the Empire.
 * A commodity trade is established on Hapes by the Galactic Empire. Thousands of Hapan women were deported as personal servants by the Imperials. This action was in response to a uprising conducted by the Hapans against the Empire, which had been crushed the previous year.
 * Lehon in the Unknown Regions, former capital of the Infinite Empire, is rediscovered and annexed by the Galactic Empire. The Emperor was determined to reconstruct the Star Forge, in order to expand the production capabilites of the Imperial Military. A military garrison was established on the world, while the Empire dispatched scavenger patrols who throughly explored the planet's surface in order to uncover components of the Star Forge. Thousands of Wookiee, Klignon, and Lurrian slaves were gathered by the Empire at Lehon.
 * The Twilight dimension is orbitally razed by the Galactic Empire, thus exterminating the Cullen Vampires and their rivals, the Twilight Werwolves. This was part of the Empire's vampire exterminations. Imperial colonists were moved to the dimension in order to repopulate the cities and the countryside.
 * The Galactic Empire deposed anti-Imperial puppet rulers in various historical dimensions, including 19th century Imperial Russia, Elizabeth R, Golden Age, Titanic, Georgian England, 300, American Civil War, and various others. Each dimension is subjected to the suzeranity of a Moff, who wielded authority over the dimensional governments, while a Imperial garrison is installed in each dimensional capital city.
 * The Clone Production and Repair Corps in the Island dimension are nationalized by the Galactic Empire. The Empire immediately seized control of the clone habitation sites, instigating new clone research and production projects with the assistance of Kaminoan scientists. A secret Imperial labatory for the production of new hand weapons is also established in this dimension.
 * The Satanic Cults of various horror dimensions are exterminated by the Galactic Empire, thus removing a major and sinister threat in those dimensions. The Empire dismantled many cruel operations, executed the cult leaders, and seized the cult secrets. Most of the horror dimensions were resettled with loyal Imperial colonists, who rehabilitated those dimensions' resources and established new towns.
 * The Regent Evocar III of Evorcia was deposed from his position in the Star Trek Dimension, as the Empire discovered Evocar's association with rebel movements on Andor, Tellar, Ligon II, Liria V, Doorian Prime, Sherman's Planet, Acamar III, Alpha III, Argellius II, and Benecia. Evorcia was stripped of its autonomy and was placed under the rule of a Imperial governor.
 * King Lorac and Queen Denira of Velmor are murdered by citizens loyal to the Galactic Empire. This was after the two monarchs had attempted to secede from the Empire. The cunning and greedy Zelor, a ally of the Empire, is installed on the throne of Velmor as a Imperial puppet, supported by a garrison of stormtroopers. Zelor will rule Velmor for the next 17 years, and in 6 BBY, will be made an honorary Moff in Star Wars.
 * The Gungans of Naboo are enslaved by the Galactic Empire. Otoh Gungua, Otoh Raban, and Otoh Jahai were destroyed by the Empire, as were the Gungan Sacred Jungles. Human colonists were moved in to seize the Gungan lands, while nearly 500,000 Gungans were deported offworld by the Empire. Jar Jar Binks, the Gungan Senator of Naboo (having succeeded Padme Amidala in 19 BBY), was arrested and executed by stormtroopers on the Emperor's orders.
 * In order to provide an example to Star Wars worlds on what would befall them if they revolted against the Empire, and to scare those worlds or dimensions with extensive natural habitats, the Galactic Empire orbitally razed the world of Ithor, one of the most life-filled and beautiful worlds in the Star Wars Galaxy. The Ithorian Sacred Jungle, long protected by the Ithorians, was turned to slag, and nearly three billion Ithorians were slaughtered. The Empire enslaved the Ithorians in their herd ships and dispatched many as slaves.
 * Colonel Klaus Staffenburg of the Valkyrie dimension begins forming a German Army, equipped with Star Wars weaponry, intent on expelling the Galactic Empire from his dimension. He received finanical aid from Mon Mothma, Bail Organa, Garm Bel Iblis, and others amongst the Emperor's opponents in the Senate. His army will be finished by 10 BBY.
 * The Vidians of the Delta Quadrant in Star Trek are deported from their homeworlds by the Galactic Empire, which resettles them with loyal Imperial colonists.

16 BBY

 * The Galactic Empire instigated a proscuetion of the Hutt clans. The various Hutt kajidics are destroyed by the Empire, which disrupts their criminal activites and impounds their slaves, resources, and residences. Hutt Space, including Ylesia, Nar Shaddaa, Nal Hutta, Klatooine, Sriluur, Rileb, Nimban, Cyborrea, and others was annexed by the Empire. Hutt Space was organized into seven sectors, each under the rule of a Imperial governor. All Hutt vassals were enslaved by the Imperials.

The dimension's inhabitants are conscripted by the Empire into work crews and are forced to assist in these efforts.
 * Betazed, which had been a prominent member world of the Galactic Republic, was quarantined by the Galactic Empire. The native Betazoids were feared by the Emperor, who believed that their telepathic skills would disrupt Imperial plots and military campaigns in Star Trek. He also feared the threat they could poise to himself and his Dark Side Adepts. The Empire placed a major fleet in orbit of the planet, cut off all communications and trade to Betazed, and forbade the Betazoids themselves to leave their world without special authorization.
 * The Fromm Tower Droid is created by the Zann Consortium and Muddian Gangs. It is deployed by numerous criminal and smuggler groups. The Galactic Empire launched a proscuetion of the two criminal organizations. Seeing the Tower Droid as a worthy machine, the Imperial Navy confiscated the models and incroporated it into its down War Droid Corps.

The Empire established new colonies in the dimension, installed a expanded Imperial Garrison, and founded various mining operations.
 * Turkana IV is rediscovered by the Galactic Empire. The world had lost contact with the Old Republic c. 2,000 BBY, and had been forgotten by Universal civilization. It had since degenrated into barbarity, as various criminal bands, gangs, and marauder councils vied with eachother for power. The world's cities were devastated and it was in horrid shape. The Empire destroyed the bands and gangs, reconstructed the cities, and established a Imperial Garrison. Thousands of dimensional inhabitants were deported by the Empire to the harsh desert worlds of Tagra IV and Tarok.

Vader promised that the Empire would rehabilitate Hongohr, which had been devastated by a contamination during the Clone Wars, in exchange for the loyalty of the Noghri to him.
