In the Star Wars universe, the Imperial Remnant is a New Republic nickname for the Galactic Empire that came about following the Bastion Accords that ended the Galactic Civil War. The name initially seems to have a derogatory connotation, but Imperials have been known to use the terminology in addition to New Republic citizens. It is led by Grand Admiral Gilad Pellaeon and the Imperial Council of Moffs, and consists of 8 backwater sectors in the Outer Rim. Its capital world is Bastion. It is possible that the 'Remnant' has increased its size following the war with the Yuuzhan Vong, but this is as yet unconfirmed.

The 'Remnant' terminology is an overt reference to the vastly diminished size of the Galactic Empire, and the fact that the majority of formerly Imperial systems and sectors have since gone over to the Galactic Alliance/New Galactic Republic or smaller, independent governments. Use of the term 'Imperial Remnant' seems to have lessened somewhat following the Empire's joining the war against the Yuuzhan Vong following the failed alien invasion of Imperial space, it has not, however, ceased. It is likely that even the enlarged and revitalized Empire that exists in the post-war galaxy will still be called the Imperial Remnant.

While the ?Remnant? moniker is generally thought of as referring to the post-treaty Empire, the terminology occasionally popped up in New Republic slang a handful of years prior to the end of the Galactic Civil War. For example, the Jedi Knight Kyle Katarn and even Mon Mothma herself were known to have referred to the Empire as the Imperial Remnant prior to the Empire?s suing for peace. So while usage of the term is generally used to describe the Galactic Empire following the Bastion Accords, it is not necessarily used exclusively in that context. That all said, these instances are erratic and inconsistent, and it is most useful to reserve usage of the ?Imperial Remnant? terminology to refer to the Galactic Empire following the signing of the Bastion Accords and the end of the Galactic Civil War.

Within that context of the term, it is possible to compare the ?Imperial Remnant? to the original Galactic Empire under Emperor Palpatine and see numerous important differences between the two. A possible (albeit somewhat superficial) real-world comparison could be made between the Imperial Remnant as it related to the original Galactic Empire and the Byzantine Empire as it compared to the Roman Empire from which it descended.
