Inner systems' Imperial remnant

The inner systems' Imperial remnant was a remnant of the Galactic Empire that existed within the inner systems of the galaxy following the Galactic Empire's dissolution and surrender to the New Republic. It included a number of traditionally conservative worlds whose populations had been largely loyal to the Empire.

Around a year after the Battle of Endor in the Core, Colonies, and Inner Rim, the remnant was formed after the Imperial Military was decisively defeated by forces of the New Republic at the end of the Galactic Civil War, causing the Empire to collapse. It was intended to become a successor state to the Empire and allowed to continue in the inner star systems if it agreed to maintain the former starship vessels of the Imperial Navy within predetermined boundaries set by the New Republic.

However, the remnant became paralyzed by internal strife. Unable to become a viable successor to the Empire, the faction quickly disintegrated. Some of its worlds were then admitted into the New Republic and became leading centrist faction planets.
