The Galactic War was a conflict which broke out after the collapse of the peace treaty between the Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic.

After twelve years of tenuous peace in the form of the Cold War, the actions of several powerful individuals caused open warfare to break out once more between the major galactic powers.

The conflict eventually came to an end with the emergence of the Eternal Empire under Emperor Arcann, whose forces overran both the Republic and the Sith Empire and forced them into submission. Both governments signed treaties with the Eternal Empire and began paying tribute to the third power.
