The Galactic Empire, declared as the First Galactic Empire, was the successor state of the Galactic Republic, forming at the end of the Clone Wars after Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine revealed the Jedi Order's assassination attempt on his life. The Imperial Military served as the military forces and enforced the Empire's rule across the galaxy. The Galactic Empire was effectively a fascist dictatorship government ruled by Darth Sidious, Sheev Palpatine's true self.

The Empire fought against the Alliance to Restore the Republic, later the New Republic after 4 ABY, in the Galactic Civil War from 0 BBY to 12 BBY across the galaxy. After the Battle of Yavin, the Empire retaliated against the Rebel Alliance and continued to pursue them into the Outer Rim Territories. In 3 ABY, the Empire almost succeeded in wiping out the majority of the Alliance at the Battle of Hoth, but due to Admiral Kendal Ozzel having alerted the Alliance, they were able to escape the Empire's grasp. In the aftermath of the battle, the Imperial Military continued to pursue the Rebels into the Outer Rim. Months after Hoth, Emperor Palpatine wished to eradicate the Rebellion once and for all and purposely leaked the location of the second Death Star, planning to use its operational superlaser to accomplish this goal. This resulted in the decisive Battle of Endor where the Rebel Alliance, with assistance from the Ewoks on Endor, had prevailed and succeeded in their mission to destroy the second Death Star while Luke Skywalker was able to redeem his father Anakin Skywalker and killed the Emperor. The aftermath of the battle allowed the Rebel Alliance to establish and reorganize into the New Republic, and caused the Empire to fracture, though mostly reunited in 5 ABY by Counselor to the Empire Annabelle Nakamura.

While the remaining Imperial Military forces were intact after being reunited by Annabelle at Tsoss Beacon, her interests became secondary to several Imperial warlords and broke away, erupting into a civil war. The Empire became known as Annabelle's Empire during this time and fought against these breakaway factions while also dealing with the fledging New Republic, first in a counteroffensive and later sieged the government across the Mid Rim and Outer Rim. While under Annabelle's command, she effectively ruled as Galactic Empress and led her own council that replaced and disregarded the authority of the Imperial Ruling Council. Throughout the on-going Galactic Civil War, Annabelle's Empire was once again a threat to the New Republic and steadily gained the upper hand, though, the Republic's Starhawk project allowed them to counter the Empire at some fronts, but was not enough to keep territory against the countless Imperial Star Destroyers and Executor Star Dreadnoughts. The Second Battle of Endor became another decisive battle and this time, it went in favour of the Empire as the New Republic Defense Fleet's three remaining Starhawk-class battleships were lost in the battle, eventually leading to the Battle of Mon Cala in 12 ABY where the Empire defeated the New Republic and the signing of the Nakamura-Mothma Treaty occurred. The Empire reorganized into the Vytal Empire days after where Annabelle had become Galactic Empress of the new Imperial government.
