The Galactic Dark Empire, was the resurrected form of the Galactic Empire in 50 ABY. Although it is almost exactly like the original Empire, including its use of Stormtroopers, TIE Fighters, all terrain walkers, and other original imperial forces, it is ruled by the sith lord Darth Argan, and has the ultimate established goal of completely wiping out the Jedi Order permenantly.
