New Sith Wars

"Either we win this war or the Sith will, and what then will change?"

- Lord Hoth

The New Sith Wars, also known as the Light and Darkness War or the Draggulch Period and known to the Sith as the War of the Fittest, The Betrayal and The Curse of Qalydon, was the name given to the thousand years of conflict between the Jedi and the Sith which lasted from 2,000 to 1,000 BBY. The last century of the conflict was commonly known as the Republic Dark Age.

History


The beginning of the conflict was the Fourth Great Schism of 2,000 BBY, when the former Jedi known as Darth Ruin fell to the dark side and created his own Sith order, with thousands of Jedi Knights following him. Although Ruin was eventually killed by his own followers after a defeat, for centuries the Sith were all but unstoppable, rampaging throughout the Galaxy and winning great victories, such at Mizra. The collapse of the HoloNet and interstellar commerce led to the Republic Dark Age. Jedi were forced to assume greater leadership, commanding the Republic military and even becoming Supreme Chancellors, despite the public opinion against them due to such actions as the Battle of Uba IV.

After nearly a thousand years of war, the Sith were in near collapse. A former Jedi Master, Lord Kaan, reorganized them into the Brotherhood of Darkness, over 20,000 strong. They fought against the Jedi Army of Light under Lord Hoth. Driving the Brotherhood from their home in the heavily defended region of space known as the Cloak of the Sith, Hoth chased them from world to world, from Hoth to Dromund Kaas to Malrev IV, before ending up in the lush forests of Ruusan. By that time the Brotherhood was less than two thousand in number.

The wars ended with the armies of Hoth and Lord Kaan facing each other on the world of Ruusan. It was here that the final Battle of Ruusan took place, which ended with Kaan's use of the thought bomb.

The conflict resulted in the restructuring of the Republic and the apparent destruction of the Sith (and, it is speculated, the formation of the Cosmic Balance religion). There was to be no full-scale war after the New Sith Wars for almost a thousand years, until the Clone Wars erupted.
