The Imperial Civil War was a galaxy-spanning conflict that started in 0 ABY between the Order of the Sith Lords, the Galactic Empire and the Imperial Confederacy. It was at this point that the remaining Jedi saw that the Galactic Empire was too busy fightning amongst themselves to notice what the Rebel Alliance was doing. The Jedi rallied together and established a new Jedi Order. It was made official that the Empire was at war with itself during the Battle of Coruscant (Imperial Civil War) in which a failed assassination attempt on Palpatine was made. Tarkin had brung many fellow Imperial commanders under his banner inculuding his protoge: Natasi Daala.
Background[]
Admiral Motti had long been contemplating the idea that whoever controled the Death Star, would be the most powerful person in the Galaxy, even more powerful than Palpatine for that matter. However hard he had tried to elevate up the ladder of Imperial ranking, Darth Vader kept putting him down and becoming more wary of him. Motti then tried a different approach, influencing Grand Moff Tarkin about his plans of domination. This only spurred on Tarkin's already ambitious plans and made him torn between his loyalty to the Galactic Empire, and his lust for power.Colonel Wulf Yularen had already guessed this but was not a high enough rank for anyone to listen to his accusations. Darth Vader had been growing suspicious of Tarkin for a long time and had been reporting his unusual behaviour to Palpatine, who in turn dismissed the accusations and claimed that his apprentice was just paranoid.
