"Palpatine?" He raised an eyebrow, "Palpatine's been dead. He died when the second Death Star blew up. The Empire crumbled steadily after that. Even then... what you're describing... that was more than a decade ago and what you're describing happened before I was even born."
Poe then decided to move onto her question. It was easier than trying to run through the timeline of recent glatatic history in his head.
"The First Order? Well, to put it simply, The First Order is an political organization with it's own military that has been more or less a pain in the ass for a while, but now they're steadily gaining control over the entire galaxy now that they destroyed Hosnian Prime which was the center of the New Republic and sent everything into chaos...again. I'd say they are going to the like a "New Empire" as it's made up of a bunch of the remnants of the Empire. The New Republic is just that. A group of people who tried to rebuild, re-establish the Republic, to restore to what it was but make it into something better..." His voice and words trail off for a second, he feels the edge to snort, because it sure as hell fell apart even faster than he original one did, it took even less to make it fall, "You seriously haven't heard of either of them?"
He wonders if he may have made her more confused. He also wonders about what she described to him. Had Q managed to reach across both space and time? How was that possible? How do you explain years and years of things that you've only been told the stories about to someone who has yet to even live them? He has to admit that he typically was better with his words than this, but he was exhausted and everything... was just a lot. Also he likely made a face, there had been a sour, bitter taste in his mouth as he tried to explain the First Order, as he spoke.
"Well, I only kind of know the one, but she's definitely not like that. She would probably be in Q's face right now after his little speech. Maybe. I'm basing that off of a mutual friend's stories and the fact that's all I want to do right now..."
