The Sith armada was a fleet of starships captured for use by the Lost Tribe of Sith&mdash;descendants of a group of Sith who survived the crash-landing of their warship, the Omen, on the remote planet Kesh in 5000 BBY&mdash;with the purpose of conquering the weakened galaxy. In 41 ABY, a Sith Meditation Sphere known as Ship arrived on the planet. The Tribe began using Ship to attack vessels, at first to scavenge parts to repair the Omen and later to capture them and expand their fleet. By 43.5 ABY, their armada contained more than two dozen ships. Lady Rhea and her Sith apprentice, Vestara Khai, served in the armada aboard the Eternal Crusader, a starship used by the Sith strike team sent to recover Ship and eliminate Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker in 43 ABY. The strike team was decimated by the Jedi, however, with Khai the only survivor.

Lord Viun Gaalan then led a group of shuttles to Dathomir to retrieve Khai and a group of Nightsisters that she helped to capture. However, after Jedi intervention, Khai was captured. As the Jedi flew into orbit, however, they were taken by surprise by a group of eleven ChaseMaster frigates led by High Lord Sarasu Taalon, who proposed they form an alliance in order to destroy Abeloth, a powerful dark side being. However, the Sith actually intended to force Abeloth to serve them. During the ensuing mission, one ship took part in an illegal raid and was apprehended with its crew condemned to death, and another was obliterated after colliding with debris of the remnants of the destroyed Sinkhole Station. The mission eventually ended in failure for the Sith, as Skywalker defeated Abeloth, and the entire flotilla was sent back to Kesh while the Skywalkers, Taalon, Khai, and Khai's father remained on Abeloth's planet to investigate more about Abeloth.

Meanwhile, the Sith armada continued to grow with its continuous piracy of vessels, and the Sith prepared their fleet for war. Part of the fleet engaged a wing of Jedi StealthX fighters in battle over the moon Pydyr, but the Sith were forced to retreat. Soon afterward, a Sith flotilla engaged the Jedi over the planet Nam Chorios, but they were again defeated. Part of the armada later defected to join Abeloth. The Sith Tribe then traveled to infiltrate the capital planet Coruscant after the New Jedi Order vacated the world. A small force also attempted to ambush the Jedi academy on Ossus, but the majority of the Jedi forces, assisted by the Hapes Consortium, escaped. Soon afterward, the Sith received a crippling blow with the destruction of their forces on Coruscant.
