[Star Wars] Were there ever any major conflicts where the Empire were the "good guys" fighting enemies other than the Rebels?

I thought of this in response to complaints I've heard (namely from Angry Joe) over the new Battlefront II's storyline, where they advertised it as being from the perspective of the Empire only for the protagonist to switch over to the Rebels fairly quickly.

Does there exist precedent in the franchise for this *not* to have been the case, namely with Imperial forces acting as peacekeepers against legitimate threats?

The Empire cracked down on crime, but they colluded with Hutts often as well. You're never going to find a situation wherein the Empire's help is for the greater good, because the system exists only for the good of it's leaders.
