Legend

this body rose to power in the wake of the destruction of the original Ruling Council and the death of Emperor Palpatine's clones at Byss, and was led by the former Royal Imperial Guard, Carnor Jax. Based in the city of De-Purteen, on the planet Ord Cantrell, it consisted of thirteen staunch Imperial loyaltists as well as several members of non-human species who believed in the Empire. This fact worried many of the human Council members, especially in the wake of Jax's death on Yinchorr. In the following months, the Council splintered into many factions, due in part to the behind-the-scenes machinations of Nom Anor. The Yuuzhan Vong Executor knew that a unified Empire would be a formidable opponent for the Yuuzhan Vong, and worked to disintegrate the Council to allow the New Republic to continue to grow.
