I GOT IT: Making the Alliance galactic The new government would not be composed of just the old members of the New Republic. Bringing their former adversary, the Imperial Remnant, as well as the Hapes Consortium into the new government, the Alliance achieved what previous governments had long hoped for—a unified government of the known Galaxy. This was further achieved with the cooperation of the Chiss Ascendancy, an insular civilization from the Unknown Regions on the edge of the Galaxy. The new Empire Over the years, the Imperial Remnant somehow regained power over several worlds. The Remnant slowly began to re-establish itself as an Empire once again. The resurgent Empire used this situation to draw in the Alliance's member worlds. Invoking the Treaty of Anaxes, the new Empire declared war on the Galactic Alliance. Weakened by internal separatist movements among some of its member worlds, the Alliance and the Jedi Order steadily began losing ground. Eventually, the Sith-Imperial War resulted in the fall of Coruscant, and the reestablishment of the Empire as the primary galactic government, operating out of the galactic capital world. The Alliance's remaining worlds surrendered and were absorbed into the Empire. Yet, the remnants of the Alliance military, in the form of the Galactic Alliance Core Forces, remained to fight the Empire.
