Pallopides coup

The Pallopides coup, also called the Last Stand of Fel, was a coup d'état by Allya Pallopides and her supporters within the Empire-in-exile against the ruling Emperor, Wier Fel, the last surviving member of the Fel dynasty in 167 ABY. Backed by Darth Kryos and the rest of his One Sith Remnant, Pallopides' troops overwhelmed Fel's security forces and she executed him. Hours later, Pallopides declared herself the Empress, and created the Galactic Imperium. The next year, a war broke out with the Third Republic.
