History — From Chaos to Order

After Endor (4 ABY) Old Empire collapses. Warlords, Moffs claim throne, fail. Grand Moffs find heir: Alexandia — biological daughter of Palpatine, safe aboard Super Star Destroyer Eclipse, engineered lab line, raised in secret. Gains military backing within months. Five years re-unification wars — brutal but short. By 10 ABY (NI 0) accession guaranteed.

10 ABY / NI 0: Alexandia assumes mantle Conservatrix Imperialis (not Empress by title yet — The Charter forbids "Emperor"). First two acts redefine Empire:

1. Creates Imperial Senate — representative, not Old Senate cosplay. Moffs, member worlds, New Alderaan later. Publishes timetables, budgets on HoloNet.
2. Outlaws Jedi/Sith religious conditioning — penalty Death + forfeiture of all assets for running school/temple/academy or training student/Padawan/apprentice.

Official goal: Order, Justice, Prosperity, Safety, Stability. Dignity for all beings. Worlds voluntarily enter seeking aid that actually arrives — not skimmed by crime.

The Empress Is A Force User — And Terrified Of It

Alexandia is strong — Palpatine's daughter. She can feel it, use light and dark as tools, rejects both names. Watched holo-logs: what father became — hollowed by power, unable to stop. Also watched Jedi records: Dooku (Jedi Master → Sith Lord → Clone Wars), Anakin (Chosen One → Vader → murdered children). Same failure: absolute belief you're right.

So she forces neutral path. Trains daily in balance, never takes Darth name, never preaches non-attachment. Meditates on restraint. Knows she could become father in 20 years if she indulges. That's why:

• Lab-screened succession — Imperial law requires genetic screening for hereditary rule. Publicly described as medical precaution.
• Imperial Knights as property — Force users who petition to serve become legal property of the Empire. Publicly registered, tattooed, accountable.
• Demands 2 Inquisitors + Knights can kill her — she wrote the clause herself.

Empress → Knights → Inquisition (loop): Empress has 2 rotating Inquisitors; every Knight 1 Inquisitor. Knights can kill Empress if she falls.

A4 Industries — major NGE contractor: HoloNet, manufacturing, logistics, terraforming support.

Why "Eclipse Empire" But Called NGE?

Eclipse Treaty Section 1: "New Republic Recognizes the Eclipse Empire as successor to First Galactic Empire." Named after flagship Eclipse where Alexandia was found, to avoid "Galactic Empire" branding. Street name stayed New Galactic Empire because that's what people called re-unified Empire vs New Republic. Both correct.

Doctrine — Feel Everything, Controlled Only By Corruption

See Grey Knights & Inquisitors. Knights allow love, marriage, kids, anger, fear — opposite Jedi suppression. ONE rule: if corrupted they kill you, then mourn you. Inquisitors check training, logs, behavior weekly.
