The Galactic Empire, also known as the New Order, the Old Empire, the First Galactic Empire, Palpatine's New Order, the Imperium or simply the Empire, was the galactic government established by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine to replace the Galactic Republic and bring Sith rule to the galaxy. Galactic Empire is a part of the Star Wars universe.

A badge is worn on the left side to indicate the rank and the service of the wearer. The outfit consists of a jacket, tight trousers, a utility belt, a pair of boots and is usually made in soft, light colours such as light brown, beige and khaki. They also offer very little protection against blaster fire, as the naval staff are not expected to be subjected to such dangers under normal circumstances. Rebel Navy uniforms are light and comfortable. The earliest rendition displayed no ranks to portray a sense of equality, although this eventually changed as increasingly complicated orders of battle required a clear chain of command. To meet these demands, the ringleaders of the Rebellion introduced a common uniform to create a sense of unity and professionalism. As the movement grew, so did the need for organisation and the establishment of true military discipline. This led to an air of amateurism, which adversely affected discipline and morale.

In fact, during the earliest stages of the Rebellion, naval officers were without a standard uniform and wore whatever they had at hand. While the uniform designs of the Old Republic were adapted by the Galactic Empire, Rebel designs drew from whatever readily available sources could be found. The origin of the Rebel Navy uniform is unclear.
