Not wanting to break the
tenuous peace with the
remnants of the former
Empire, several senators
in the New Republic have
secretly authorized a daring
task force to resist the
rising threat of an extremist
faction called the FIRST
ORDER.
I like this crawl the best so far, personally. I would just reword this section as the following:
Seeking to keep the tenuous
peace with the remnants of
the fallen Empire, several
senators in the New Republic
have secretly authorized a
daring task force to resist
the rising threat of an
Imperial faction known as
the FIRST ORDER.
What I like best about this crawl is it suggests there are other Imperial remnant factions out there (which we will see with the Final Order and the Sith Eternal in TROS).
