- "I am, by right of birth and choice, your true Emperor! Not this Sith usuper, Krayt! It is to me that you all owe your allegiance"
- ―Roan Fel[src]
The Empire-in-exile,[1] also known as the "true" Empire[2] and the New Order with a Personal Face, was the faction of the former Fel Empire that still remained loyal to Emperor Roan Fel, following the Sith coup in 130 ABY.[1]

[edit] History
As the Sith-Imperial War came to an end, Roan Fel was poised to establish his government on Coruscant. After a few days, the leader of the One Sith, Darth Krayt, arrived with Lords Nihl, Wyyrlok and Maladi and revealed their deception to Emperor Fel, killing his double, and seizing the throne for himself.[3]
The real Emperor Fel escaped the assassination attempt, fled to Bastion and formed a government-in-exile to rule the former Imperial Space.[3] Over the next seven years of resistance, more and more Imperial military units defected to his territory, subsequently acquiring more, previously stripped, territories. His administration even attempted to form an alliance with the Galactic Alliance Remnant, though the meeting was sabotaged by Jor Torlin and Morrigan Corde, agents of the Empire. As a result, Stazi still didn't trust any Imperial and Fel's men were not allowed on the Wheel.[4]
The Empire planted three sets of bombs on board the new Advanced Star Destroyer Imperious, which would explode the moment the weapon systems were activated. But they didn't anticipate Stazi's plan to "liberate" the starship. Imperial Knights Sigel Dare and Treis Sinde, the saboteurs, were dispatched to bring Monia Gahan back to Stazi to disarm the bombs. But to show their good faith, on Monia's suggestion, they rescued the rest of the Mon Calamari members captured after the battle. Due to this display of good faith and the beginning of genocide against the Mon Calamarians, Admiral Gar Stazi agreed to discuss a possible alliance with Fel in order to fight their common enemy.
Later, Stazi had to hold the coalition together, and to make sure that the Imperials can't lower themselves to the tactics employed by the Sith. The True Empire continued to receive support from the Moff Council and personnel loyal to the original Fel Empire which enabled its sustenance and domination of the Outer Rim Territories. However, the coalition would be joined by the Jedi.[5]
