Grand Plan

The Grand Plan, also known as the Great Sith Plan and the Sith conspiracy, was a long-percolating plot hatched by the Sith. Originating with the Sith Lord Darth Bane, who had emerged victorious from a devastating conflict among his peers, its aim was to erode the Galactic Republic's democracy from within, discredit and eradicate the Jedi Order, and ultimately rule the galaxy through a reincarnated Sith Empire for revenge. A millennium after its creation, the plan was fulfilled by the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Sidious, who started the tyrannical reign of the fascist and authoritarian Galactic Empire.
