Imperial Remnant (TAG)

The Imperial Remnant, or the Remnant States of the Galactic Empire, was a somewhat loose coalition between the surviving military and political figures of the Galactic Empire following the Battles of Jakku and Utapau in 5 ABY. Following the Hosnian Cataclysm, which also signaled the end of the Cold War, the Remnant officially splintered into its various factions, many of which declared their allegiance to the First Order, or Darth Petruv's newly founded Empire.

Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire
In 19 BBY, the destructive Clone Wars came to an end after three years of widespread galactic Warfare. Palpatine, then supreme chancellor, was confronted by four Jedi Masters, including Mace Windu, barely surviving the encounter thanks to the defection of Anakin Skywalker, soon rechristened as Darth Vader. Following this, Palpatine issued contingency Order 66 to the myriad Clone forces throughout the galaxy, turning the Clones against the same Jedi they had spent the last three years fighting alongside. Palpatine would then declare a new order to the Senate, reorganizing the Galactic Republic into the Galactic Empire.

For 19 years, the Empire would reign supreme, challenged by a coaltion of Rebels intent on restoring the Republic. But it was the destruction of the First Death Star by Luke Skywalker, Anakin's son, that signaled the falsehood of the Empires invincibility. Four years later, Palpatine would be killed by Vader aboard the Second Death Star over the forest moon of Endor. With no clear line of succession, the Imperial fleet and the various Moffs were unable to prevent a the newly formed New Republic from winning a string of crushing victories alongside their loose ally, The Dominion of Free Systems until in 5 ABY, the Imperial military was decisively defeated in the Battles of Jakku and Utapau. Soon, Grand Vizier Mas Amedda and Chancellor Mon Mothma would agree on terms of surrender for the Imperial Forces, though some would retreat to the Unknown Regions and form a successor state to the late Empire. The remaining Admirals, Moffs and other leaders would soon form together to form the Remnant States of the Galactic Empire, colloquially known as the Imperial Remnant.
