First Order

Organizations

The First Order is an Interstellar political and military entity in the Star Wars universe. Introduced in the 2015 film "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," the First Order emerged from the remnants of the Galactic Empire, which had been defeated by the Rebel Alliance in "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi" (1983). The First Order, like the Empire before it, seeks to establish a totalitarian order throughout the galaxy and destroy any remnants of the New Republic and the Resistance.

The First Order was founded by former Imperial officers, nobles, and technocrats who escaped to the Unknown Regions, a largely unexplored area of the galaxy, following the Battle of Jakku. Here, they regrouped and rebuilt their forces, emerging 30 years later as a powerful and formidable organization determined to overthrow the New Republic and restore the Empire.

The leaders of the First Order include Supreme Leader Snoke, a mysterious and powerful figure who commands the organization from the shadows, and his apprentice, Kylo Ren, a former Jedi apprentice of Luke Skywalker who was seduced by the dark side, becoming an enforcer for the First Order. In addition, General Hux, a brutal and ruthless commander of the First Order's army, and Captain Phasma, a chrome-armored stormtrooper commander, play significant roles in the organization's hierarchy.

The First Order's forces consist of a vast array of military assets, including Star Destroyers, TIE fighters, and ground troops such as stormtroopers. In their attempt to conquer the galaxy, the First Order employs devastating weaponry, including the Starkiller Base, a massive superweapon capable of destroying entire star systems. The First Order's arsenal and military might are a testament to their unyielding determination to conquer the galaxy and subjugate its inhabitants.

The Resistance, led by former Rebel Alliance leader Leia Organa, stands in opposition to the First Order's pursuit of galactic domination. The Resistance, unlike the New Republic, fully recognizes the threat posed by the First Order and dedicates itself to combating their menacing forces. Many members of the Resistance are former New Republic military personnel, who share Leia's conviction in facing the First Order.

Throughout the sequel trilogy of films, the First Order and the Resistance engage in a relentless struggle for power and control, with both sides suffering substantial losses and victories. Key battles include the destruction of the Starkiller Base in "The Force Awakens" and the Battle of Crait in "The Last Jedi" (2017). Ultimately, the First Order's reign is brought to an end during the climactic events of "The Rise of Skywalker" (2019).

the First Order serves as the primary antagonistic force in the Star Wars sequel trilogy. Rising from the ashes of the defeated Galactic Empire, this formidable organization is driven by a desire for absolute power and a relentless determination to crush any opposition to its rule. The First Order's ruthless pursuit of galactic domination sets the stage for an epic clash between the forces of darkness and the Resistance's fight for freedom and justice.
