The Imperial Vivification was a splinter movement from the Imperial Remnant, who sought to revive the original Galactic Empire. It was founded in 7 ABY, by Con artist Jasod Revoc. With old age almost upon him, it only took the right clothes and some make up to disguise as Palpatine. He then fooled a number of gullible and low ranking officers into falling for his guise. He quickly gathered their collective forces and began to form a shadow empire under the nose of the Imperial Remnant. After that, the Vivification fell apart, its members captured or returning to the Imperial Remnant.
