Second Imperium

The Second Imperium was a faction that emerged from the Galactic Empire as one of its splinter factions. The Second Imperium was led by the Dark Jedi Brakiss who was aided by the Nightsister Tamith Kai, both of whom formerly served under the leadership of Emperor Palpatine, in actuality a hologram projection created by four Imperial Royal Guards. The ultimate goal of this faction was to bring about the return of the order of the Old Empire.

The Second Imperium was once part of the United Warlord Fleets, but it later returned as a thorn in the side of the New Republic and New Jedi Order. The conflict with the Imperium took on a personal nature for the Solo twins when their friend Zekk joined and eventually was named the Second Imperium's Darkest Knight. The Second Imperium's regime finally came to an end after only four years during the Battle of the Jedi Praxeum. During this battle, Zekk was turned back to the light side of the Force, the Imperium's ground forces were decimated, and Brakiss perished when the Shadow Academy's self-destruct mechanism was activated.
