The Star Wars sequels are light on exposition for the First Order, but canon material has gradually revealed how the faction rose to power.
The origins of the Star Wars sequel era’s First Order have been gradually revealed - not only by the end of the sequel trilogy, but also in various spinoffs and tie-ins. The First Order is the successor state to the Galactic Empire in the current Star Wars canon, but while its military mimics the aesthetic of its predecessor, it is a fundamentally different faction to the Empire.
The Empire’s Contingency Sowed The First Order The Aftermath trilogy, Claudia Gray's Lost Stars, Star Wars: Battlefront II, Star Wars: Squadrons, and Greg Rucka and Marco Checchetto's Star Wars: Shattered Empire explore the year following Palpatine’s death at the Battle of Endor. Palpatine’s posthumous Contingency razed worlds and culled the ranks of the Imperial military to ensure only the best and most loyal members survived.
Unofficially, numerous Imperial remnant factions refused to comply with the Galactic Concordance and continued to wage war against the New Republic, using their respective Stormtrooper Corps in addition to their Army and Navy forces. One such faction, as seen in The Mandalorian, was led by Moff Gideon and operated in the Outer Rim, with relatively little influence from the New Republic.
