Generationals was a term given to a family groups that were descended from officers that served within the Planetary Security Forces of the Galactic Republic. After the Declaration of a New Order, the Planetary Security Forces were gradually replaced by the Imperial Navy of the Galactic Empire and the tradition of Planetary Security was slowly taken over by the Imperial Military. This led to many career officers of the Planetary Security Forces being cast aside for second rate officers due to their political connections rather than their command ability.

Despite this being the case, a number of these Generationals managed to remain within the Imperial Navy but had to, at least by appearance, abandon the traditions of the past and instead adopt the backstabbing as well as duplicitous environment within the Imperial military command structure. Instead of being honorable officers, they were forced to become motivated by political ambitions that were required to do what was expected rather than what was right. Those incapable of following this new chain of command were replaced by more loyal members of the New Order.
