The term "Remnant" was an overt reference to the vastly diminished size of the Galactic Empire, and the fact that the majority of former Imperial systems and sectors had gone over to the New Republic or smaller, independent governments. Imperial loyalists themselves usually spoke of "Imperial Space" or simply "the Empire". Initially, it had a derogatory connotation to describe what remained of the Empire, most especially popular among New Republic citizens. The term Imperial Remnant was often applied to this regime and the relatively small fragment of territory it ruled. It is not clear that the official name of the Imperial state had ever been anything other than "the Galactic Empire".
