Sith Empire

The Sith Empire was an empire ruled by the religious Force-wielders known as the Sith, that had a number of incarnations and at various points of history controlled most of the galaxy. It often fought against the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order in a series of wars and battles, including the Great Hyperspace War, the Great Sith Wars, the Great Scourge of Malachor, the Crusade of Krath, and other conflicts, until the last Sith Empire collapsed.

However, its legacy would endure, for the Sith reobtained galactic dominance once again by the end of the Clone Wars, by founding the Galactic Empire. After the Galactic Civil War saw the fall of this government, cultists in the era of the New Republic toiled to revive the Sith Empire of old itself.
