[Star Wars] What is the Empire's ultimate goal as a governing body?
gpt
Total dominance over the galactic core and all old republic worlds, with regular patrols in the fringe areas by the Imperial Navy and Army;

Dominance of all major resource extraction by corporations allied with the Imperial bureaucracy; 

Complete monopoly over all institutions of learning, and first choice of graduates to employ within the bureaucracy, or Allied Corporations;

Long-term goal - prevent rebellion and Institute long-term peace and growth into the fringe areas, while preventing successful invasion by extra-galactic powers, through buffer zones, and early warning systems (IE colonized worlds in the fringe that may not be allied with the Imperial bureaucracy and possess their own military, and will act to slow invasion while raising the alarm)
