However though not as short-lived because the IFC, the primary Shadow Council was doomed from the start, deliberately.
Rax, working on direct orders from Palpatine posthumously launched as a part of Operation Cinder—Palpatine’s plans to destroy the equipment of the Empire within the wake of his demise in order that Revolt couldn’t co-opt it, and so it could possibly be reborn within the Unknown Areas alongside himself—deliberately established the council to wipe most of its members off the board at Jakku, in a bid to destroy the planet itself, in addition to the New Republic and Remnant fleets, in a singular battle.
Rax was killed by Sloane above Jakku when she found his plans, and whereas many of the Shadow Council was killed on the battle as nicely, a number of survived. Grand Moff Randd fled to the Enlargement area—the galactic area between the Interior and Mid rims—and shaped his personal Imperial Remnant. In the meantime Sloane and her fellow councilor Brendol Hux, alongside his younger son and a number of other little one troopers, additionally escaped the chaos.
