{{Quote|Daala reclaimed a leadership position with the new warlords of the Deep Core. Successors to Harrsk, Delvardus, and the others now held power within the Deep Core kingdoms, and while warlords such as Foga Brill and Moff Tethys lacked military muscle, they made up for it in base cruelty.|[[Voren Na'al/Legends|Voren Na'al]]|<ref name="TNEC">''[[The New Essential Chronology]]''</ref>}}
The '''replacement warlords''' were an alliance within the [[Deep Core/Legends|Deep Core]] of [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Imperial]] [[Warlord/Legends|warlords]] who succeeded the thirteen Imperial warlords that had been executed by [[Admiral/Legends|Admiral]] [[Natasi Daala|Daala]] in [[12 ABY/Legends|12 ABY]]. They eventually formed the [[Second Imperium]].

Following her [[Battle of Nam Chorios|defeat]] of Moff [[Tol Getelles|Getelles']] forces in [[13 ABY/Legends|13 ABY]], Daala returned to the Deep Core and became the leader of a coalition of these warlords, eventually planning strikes into [[New Republic/Legends|New Republic]] [[Realspace/Legends|space]].<ref name="TNEC" /> After the [[Battle of N'zoth|end]] of the [[Black Fleet Crisis]] in [[17 ABY/Legends|17 ABY]], [[Camp Pa'aal Squadron|surviving Imperial forces]] of [[Sixth Negative Regions|Black Sword Command]] escaped to [[Galactic Emperor/Legends|Emperor]] [[Palpatine/Legends|Palpatine's]] throneworld of [[Byss/Legends|Byss]].

In 17 ABY, the [[Council of Moffs/Legends|Council of Moffs]] of the Imperial Remnant secretly contacted Admiral Daala to launch a joint [[Imperial Skirmishes|campaign]] against the New Republic.<ref name="TEA">''[[The Essential Atlas]]''</ref> However, the squabbling warlords could not provide a united front even with Daala's leadership, and the New Republic's [[New Republic Fourth Fleet|Fourth Fleet]], led by [[General/Legends|General]] [[Garm Bel Iblis/Legends|Garm Bel Iblis]], launched a crippling series of assaults on their perimeter. In the [[Battle of Columus (Galactic Civil War)|Battle of Columus]], Bel Iblis defeated Daala, forcing her flagship to escape into [[Hyperspace/Legends|hyperspace]]; it remained unaccounted for.<ref name="TNEC" /> Defeated, the Imperial Remnant was forced to negotiate a [[Pellaeon–Gavrisom Treaty|declaration of peace]] with the New Republic [[19 ABY/Legends|two years later]].<ref name="TEA" /> However, the replacement warlords themselves remained and they rejected these accords. They severed allegiance to the official Imperial Remnant and later re-organized themselves as the [[Second Imperium]].<ref name="TNEGtC" />
