Imperial internal conflict

The Imperial internal conflict, also called the Internal conflict in the Empire or the Two Empire War, was a civil war in the Fel Empire between the forces loyal to Empress Marasiah Fel (known as the "Fel government"), and the ultranationalists of former general and self-proclaimed "Prince Regent" Jarahiya Haftiir (known officially as the "New Bastion Empire", called the "Bastion government"). The civil war began after the nationalist elements of the Imperial Military committed a successful coup d'état against the Fel administration on Bastion, and proclaimed a new state known as the "New Bastion Empire". Their leader, General Haftiir, proclaimed himself the "Prince Regent", and immediately demanded that all Moffs, Planetary Governors, and military personnel pledge allegiance to him. Some did, though many remained loyal to Empress Fel, who declared his regime illegitimate and treasonous. This resulted in the beginning of the civil war.
