As a recommendation, the actual Galactic Empire, from what I have seen and been told, has not been entirely active. However, the currently active Galactic Empire-like factions are...
The First Order - Even though Star Wars Chaos (This site) has a different timeline and era than the original trilogy and all, some players have decided to take the Empire from the Force Awakens and put it on the site. Leader: [member="Aram Kalast"]
- 501st White Wolves - There is also the 501st White Wolves faction, which I believe is a squad within the First Order. Leader: [member="Ricochet"]
The Imperium - More towards the original Galactic Empire, the Imperium can be seen as 'the empire of old,' sticking with the classics. Leader: [member="Decimus Meridius"]
The One Sith - Think, if the Galactic Empire, was mostly the original Sith Faction. Full of Sith, ruled by Sith, Siths everywhere, with some Galactic Empire soldiers splashed in. Leader: [member="Darth Pyrrhus"]
On a side note, I am starting a faction that uses similar systems, appearances, and causes similar to the original Galactic Empire and some traces of the Galactic Republic around the Clone Wars. It's more neutral, with heavy focus on galactic security. It isn't evil, though, but it isn't a goody two-shoes either. It's set as Neutral.
