Andrew's Empire

Before the Battle of Endor
Andrew's Empire had its roots in the Metal Planet: a star-sized mobile battle station covered in quantum armor and was designed to evacuate the entire population of a solar system in the event of a supernova. It had a diameter of about 1.4 million kilometers and took the Galactic Empire two centuries to build. Starting in 22 BBY, it was built deep in the Cloak of the Sith Region beyond Tatooine, hidden in the D'Anjon Nebula, where it would be safe from prying eyes, within grid R-16 of the Arkanis sector.[1]   This nebula became the capitol of what would become Andrew's Empire.

Twenty years later, in 2 BBY, Palpatine dispatched a new task force under Commander Andrew to oversee the construction of the Metal Planet and form a satellite Empire beoynd Hutt Space, since the Rebel Alliance was becoming a nuisiance that he could no longer afford to ignore. Palpatine built the Death Stars to destroy the Rebel Alliance and if that failed, at least their attention would be focused on him alone. So they would never know that a secret satellite Empire was forming deep in the Outer Rim beyond Hutt Space.

After the Battle of Endor
Andrew's Empire grew slowly over a period of a century, and weathered the Sith Cruscade by remaining completely hidden in the D'Anjon Nebula. Since noone ever bothered with the Outer Rim beyond Hutt Space, Andrew had a quiet and vast area to slowly conquer. The Decreto Sith had, by 74 ABY, pulled most of their forces from the Eastern Outer Rim to conquer the Core, leaving that area of space ripe for conquest by Andrew's forces. With the industrial might of many Outer Rim planets, construction proceeded much more quickly on the Metal Planet and Andrew solidified his hold as de-facto Emperor in the Eastern Outer Rim.

While Andrew never formally took the title of Emperor, he was such in all but name, since he had a throne room, and was the Supreme Commander of Imperial Forces in the Eastern Outer Rim Empire. Once the Decreto Sith left the area in 67 ABY, that region of space was named Andrew's Empire formally and Andrew directed his forces to remain hidden and quiet until the time came to strike against the Republic. Unfortunately, Andrew's Empire was affected by the same Holonet virus that affected the Yeda Rebel Alliance in 19 ABY, meaning that Andrew's galactic maps were wiped out and his forces could no longer find their way back to the Empire Proper. He knew it had been defeated by then, so that made Andrew's faction possibly the most signifigant remnant of Palpatine's Empire left in the galaxy.

Over a period spanning almost 50 years, Andrew's forces annexed almost the entire Eastern Outer Rim, from the Tion Hegemony in the north to the Arkanis Sector in the south. Hutt Space formed the coreward boundary of Andrew's Empire, as did Bothan Space, the Abrion Sector, the Daragon Trail and the Hydian Way.

By 115 ABY, the Metal Planet was complete and, under the command of Andrew, who was in cyborg form so he could live to see the destruction of the Yeda Alliance, attacked and occupied the Yeda Rebel Alliance. But his reign of the Yeda Republic Space was short-lived, and Andrew was soon defeated and killed.

Andrew's  Empire was soon taken over in 120 ABY by the Fel Empire, as they joined forces with the Galactic Alliance to drive the Decreto Sith out of the Galaxy. But by 122 ABY, the Fel Empire had concentrated its forces in the Northern Quadrant of the Galaxy and Andrew's Empire space had multiple owners until 124 ABY, when it was absorbed by the resurgent Galactic Alliance.

But by 129 ABY, the northern half of Andrew's Space had been absorbed by the Fel Empire in its quest to rule the Galaxy, and by 137 ABY, Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire had taken over. By 166 ABY, Palestine's Empire had taken the space, and by 172 ABY, the New Republic had become the new owner of the space.

Stan's United Galactic Empire ruled the old area of Andrew's Empire from 176 ABY to 180 ABY, when Stan's Empire began losing worlds to Lok's Galactic Republic, Mar's Galactic Empire, and the Praxeum(see Star Wars Galaxy Wiki for info on all three factions). By 181 ABY, the Praxeum had control of most of the Space of Andrew's Empire, and by 193 ABY, Andrew's Empire had been returned to his rule finally, as Stan's Empire broke apart in civil war.

The Great Empire of the Sith was Andrew's vehicle to slowly take back his space, and even though Lok's Galactic Republic had taken over by 200 ABY, Andrew's forces worked from within to turn the Republic into a dictatorship, without ever revealing Andrew's Sith nature. The Galactic Alliance had taken over most of Andrew's Empire by 207 ABY, and then in the 220s ABY, the New Galactic Empire had taken over from Lok's Republic.

By 240 ABY, the Galactic Federation had taken over most of Andrew's Empire and the Sith presence had been banished finally from the Eastern Outer Rim. The Mandolorians took over the space in 248 ABY, and kept it until 256 ABY, when the Kicka Empire expanded from the Northern Quadrant to rule almost the entire Galaxy.

In 266 ABY, the New Republic had returned to rule most of the Galaxy, including Andrew's Empire in the Eastern Outer Rim. Andrew's Empire ramined part of the Republic up to the 290s ABY, when the Empire and the Republic merged into the Coalition to Restore the New Order. This alliance was formed to combat the resurgent Sith, who had taken the entire Northern Quadrant and the Unknown Regions. A small area of Andrew's Old Empire was claimed by him under the cover name of the Republic Alliance, and he secretly built up his forces in the galactic arm beyond Mon Calamari.

By 426 ABY Andrew had allied with the Sith Empire and regained the northern part of his space. The central and southern portions were also controlled by Andrew, thanks to his ties with The Underworld.

By 835 ABY, Andrew's Empire, along with most of the Galaxy, had been abandoned by all factions, as they each tried to recover from centuries of war by withdrawing into small regions of space.
