Empire Reborn

The Empire Reborn, also known as the Imperial Remnant (not to be confused with the mainline Imperial Remnant led by Gilad Pellaeon), was a remnant of the Galactic Empire led by the Dark Jedi Hethrir, the Imperial Procurator of Justice and a former student of the Sith Lord Darth Vader. As a secret movement arising after the destruction of the second Death Star at Endor, it infiltrated the New Republic for a number of years as it built up its power base.

Lord Hethrir recruited powerful allies to his cause including Admiral Galak Fyyar, former Jedi student Desann, and the shadowy Inquisitor Antinnis Tremayne. Financing its operations by slavery, the Empire Reborn trained a large army of Force-sensitive warriors that assaulted the Jedi Praxeum in 12 ABY. After that invasion failed, the weakened movement kidnapped the three Solo children, in order to sacrifice them to the demigod Waru, part of a sinister pact to gain absolute power in the Force for Hethrir.

The combined efforts of the Jedi Knights Luke Skywalker and Kyle Katarn, as well as the New Republic heroes Han Solo and Leia Organa, foiled its plans, bringing about the movement's ruin.
