The Rise of the Galactic Empire

At the Senate Building, a victorious Chancellor Palpatine, donning burgundy Sith robes, issues his Declaration of a New Order, reorganizing the Galactic Republic into the Galactic Empire, declaring himself absolute Emperor for life, and validating the persecution of the Jedi Order. Palpatine promised that the Empire would bring safety, security, and justice to the Universe, and that a new era of prosperity and stability would reign. A intensive process of Imperialization then ensued. The Galactic Senate became the Imperial Senate, while the Grand Army of the Republic and Republic Navy became the Imperial Army and Imperial Navy. All government organizations are reorganized or reformed vigrously. The Commission for the Protection of the Republic (COMPOR) became the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order (COMPNOR). The four intelligence agencies of the Republic were combined to form Imperial Intelligence. The Imperial Security Bureau was formed and all Republic ministries were renamed. Even the names of the capital regions were changed: the Coruscant Sector became the Imperial Sector, Sector Zero became the Imperial Oversector, Coruscant itself was renamed Imperial Center, and Universal City became Imperial City. The Presidential Palace of the Republic became the Imperial Palace.
