Attack on Emperor Fel

This attack was the last battle of the Sith–Imperial War. In 127 ABY, following the failure of the Ossus Project—an effort to restore planets damaged during the earlier Yuuzhan Vong War—the Fel Empire declared war on the Galactic Alliance. A year into the war, the Sith Order emerged, offering to ally with the Empire and help to defeat the Alliance's Jedi. With the Empire bolstered by the Sith, the Alliance surrendered in 130 ABY. Following the surrender, the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Krayt, arrived on Coruscant, where he confronted a double of Emperor Roan Fel during a meeting with the Moff Council. In the mistaken belief that the decoy was Fel himself, Krayt stated that his Sith Order had helped win the war and now he sought his reward—Fel's life. Krayt and his Sith killed the Emperor's protectors and the decoy, with Krayt then pronouncing himself emperor.
