"The United Imperial Alliance - formed in the aftermath of the Battle of Endor after Emperor Palpatine's demise at the hands of his former-apprentice, Darth Vader... who has again taken up his name, Anakin Skyralker, though most in the Imperial Military still call him Lord Vader," Mathayus explained. "Anyway, the Imperial Alliance was formed from the unification of the Empire under Vader and the entirety of the Rebel Alliance. I believe my brother-in-law had a hand in that, and they went on to unify the rest of the Empire under the Imperial Alliance. The Rebel Political leaders went on to take up the reins of the Imperial Senate, Luke and Vader went on to train new generations of Jedi to be on par with our Crusaders, occasionally helping out the Military, The Imperial Army remained more or less the same, and the Rebels' army went on to become the Alliance Special Forces, under General Crix Madine." Mathayus paused, and then added, "And do explain the factions on Zi, so I know what we're getting into."
