The Empire has been destroyed, Captian. No one can ressurect it, not even the Remnant. We have to start over; and here is where we shall do it
—Admiral Finir'Uno to Captian Vossuk
The Empire of the Stars (known to the Chiss as "Finir'Uno's Household Phalanx") as was a shadow Galactic Empire established by Imperial Admiral Finir'Uno during his exile in the Unknown Regions.
History[]
Finir'Uno had, upon joining the Galactic Empire, foreseen it's inevitable demise. He knew that it could not be survived by one man and, after his equally inevitable death, the empire would destroy itself.
So, as Finir worked his way up through the ranks of the Imperial Navy, he began to salvage what he could from the crumbling autocracy. He had ships with trustworthy or non-specieist captians posted further into the Outer Rim and able officers transferred to his command.
When the Emperor died in 4 ABY, Finir, not including his personal fleet, had a massed force of a dozen ships and the most talented cadre of the Imperial Star fighter Corps and Army.
The Admiral then went into exile, taking the world of Lostar as a capital. Here he began to create a new empire, to sucseed where the previous one failed.
They began to surge out of Lostar, into the Unknown Regions, where over 200 planets were captured.
This new empire, dubbed the Empire of the Stars, closely bordered the Chiss Acendancy. Finir used his remaining connects and favours he had with them to secure a steady flow of young Chiss to the Empire.
However, in 12 ABY, Finir thought it time to launch his attack on the New Republic. He left in charge his first officer, Ildraan Vossuk, who took command of the empire. At first the two were in frequent contact, but over the years it became less and less until when Finir died, Vossuk didn't know.
In 22 ABY the Empire had been cut off from its founder and any possible allies.
Military[]
The Empire Of The Stars' military was very similar to that of the Galactic Empire. Its fleet was comprised of Imperial ships, transfered from Finir's fleet, including the Silver Light and the Callasto. It also included many stolen Chiss veichles, including Chiss Star Destroyers, and Chiss Cruisers.
The prominent starfighters of the Empire, were the Chiss Clawcraft. However, they fought it squadrons of 14, as opposed to the prefered 12. It was common for them to split into two groups named Split-Star Squadrons, of 7 ships each.
It can be presumed the Empire still used standard TIE fighters as most of the former Imperial ships contained them.

But that can't all be Imperial territory! I mean...It can't!
—Koral Solo-Fel
The Empire Of The Stars ruled over 200 planets in the Unknown Regions and S'Ueto Regions. The capital world was Lostar, but the empire included: Oppule, UR51-257, S'Ueto, Svirrul, Anilion, and over 200 planets in the Urgenth Arm. Ex-Imperial Pfilbee Jhorn was recruited to help explore the planets, ready for colonisation.
