[124] Species such as the Wookiees were declared non-sentient. With the loss and failure of three invasions of the Mid Rim world of Naboo, birthplace of Palpatine and thus an influential rallying point for the New Order's shattered forces, the Empire retreated to numerous fallback positions on strategically unimportant worlds such as Naalol, often drawing the New Republic into long and indecisive conflicts, forestalling its slow push toward the Core Worlds. The notion of abandoning the Empire's dark-side devotion was even discussed, while Imperial Advisor Yupe Tashu—a longtime admirer of Palpatine and dark-side cultist—suggested sending the Imperial remnants to the outskirts of the galaxy to search for the source of the dark side.
Palpatine, dessen Position fast der eines Diktators gleichkam, beschloss, eine Große Armee der Republik aufzustellen, um gegen die Droidenarmee der Separatisten vorgehen zu können. As factionalism fell over the fallen Empire,[13][18] its legacy endured in mercenaries and warlords[102] who were able to establish footholds on distant worlds, clinging to what little power they had left[103] in the Outer Rim Territories where the New Republic would not interfere.[source?] Meanwhile, Ezra, who had escaped the fighting, succeeded in enlisting the help of Clan Wren. [101] Many of the Old Empire's orbital shipyards were destroyed,[106] and the New Republic passed the Military Disarmament Act, among others, in an effort to avoid repeating the mistakes of the Galactic Republic, and rotated its capital among member worlds rather than using the former Imperial Center. [76], Grav-ball was a popular sport within the Galactic Empire, with many worlds hosting teams that occasionally competed with one another. [7], After lengthy fleet redeployments and the discovery of a mole within the Imperial ranks, Tarkin, aboard the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Executrix, managed to disable the rebel warship and capture the dissidents after a brief battle and timely arrival of Star Destroyers Compliant and Enforcer. [77], On the surface of Endor, the tables were turned on the Imperial forces when they were unexpectedly attacked by the planet's indigenous Ewok population, who had allied themselves with the Rebels, giving the Alliance ground forces a free hand to destroy the Death Star's shield generator. [32] Within two decades, only a few known Jedi were still alive and in exile to avoid the Empire's wrath: Yoda went into hiding on Dagobah to continue his studies of the Force and watch from afar as other Jedi operated throughout the galaxy; Kenobi went into hiding in the Jundland Wastes on Tatooine as a strange hermit called "Old Ben" to give Vader's newborn son Luke Skywalker to the father's stepbrother Owen Lars and watch over the boy as he grew up on the Lars homestead; Uvell went into hiding in an abandoned Geonosian colony on a remote moon after giving antiques dealer Antron Bach numerous Jedi scrolls, lightsabers and other objects of historical significance to hide;[33], Ahsoka Tano went into hiding in the Outer Rim world of Thabeska, and later relocated to the farming moon Raada as a mechanic named "Ashla" to make a life for herself in the farming community;[34] Caleb Dume changed his name to Kanan Jarrus before going into hiding in Gorse City on the tidally locked Inner Rim planet Gorse as a bartender for The Asteroid Belt bar and freighter pilot carrying baradium bisulfate for Moonglow Polychemical between Gorse and its moon, Cynda. Lando bleibt jedoch keine Wahl, als seine Gäste ans Imperium auszuliefern, wenn er die Macht des Imperiums nicht zu spüren bekommen will – Darth Vader und seine Truppen haben die Mine vor dem Falken erreicht. The First Order rose to power as the successor of the Galactic Empire. He was ultimately killed during the Battle of Jakku when his remnant forces battled the New Republic.[17]. To reward Tarkin's skill, the Emperor promoted him to the newly created rank of Grand Moff and gave him command of the Executrix as well as oversight of the Outer Rim Territories, all while the recent attacks on Imperial facilities were made to look like an elaborate plot to root out rebel cells. Numerous organizations were folded under COMPNOR, the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order. A rare exception revolved around the Outer Rim world of Ryloth, where Moff Delian Mors and Colonel Belkor Dray were fighting an insurgency known as the Free Ryloth movement, led by former Twi'lek Resistance leader Cham Syndulla, who established hidden bases across Ryloth and executed raids against the Empire, including those on its lucrative spice and slave trade in the sector. Imperial Military command maintained a list of known Rebel sympathizers on several Outer Rim worlds, including Lothal, but most of them were not arrested due to their having powerful allies in the Senate, a known hotbed of corruption and decadence.[45].
