The Imperial Army was the ground-based military branch of the Galactic Empire.

History

The Imperial Army was created from the Grand Army of the Republic following the end of the Clone Wars. In the years following the Wars, the Army used equipment and vehicles from units of the Old Republic. As time went by, new designs were made to supplant the Republic-era equipment and expand the Army itself. The army used land and air units, with the latter utilizing transport and fighter models that were also seen in the Imperial Navy. Amongst fighter pilots there existed rivalry between Army and Navy units, with each having derogatory nicknames for their counterparts.

Following the Battle of Jakku, the remnants of the Imperial Army that fled into the Unknown Regions was eventually reorganized as the First Order Army.
