Sith Empire/Legends

The Old Sith Empire was an empire established by Dark Jedi banished from the Republic after the Battle of Corbos (6,900 BBY). The leader of the Old Sith Empire was the Dark Lord of the Sith. The region of the Outer Rim it was located in was known as Sith Space.

The Old Sith Empire was far smaller than the Galactic Republic, but much wealthier, and in possession of potent, unique technology.

History
In 6,900 BBY, exiled Fallen Jedi fleeing from the Battle of Corbos which concluded the Hundred-Year Darkness landed on Ziost, a desolate world inhabitated by the relatively primitive but unusually Force-sensitive Sith people. Using their training in the Force, the fallen Jedi amazed the Sith and elevated themselves to god-like status on Korriban, becoming the rulers of the Sith people. As years passed, and interbreeding occurred between the Fallen Jedi and the Sith, the term "Sith" came to mean not only the original inhabitants of Korriban and Ziost, but also their fallen Jedi masters. Thus, the Old Sith Empire was born and Ziost became the capital while Korriban became a sacred masoleum-world.



In 5,000 BBY, the Old Sith Empire, led by Naga Sadow, rediscovered the existence of the Republic and decided to conquer it. Thus, the Great Hyperspace War began. After an assault on Coruscant, the Sith were defeated, and were forced back to Korriban. When Sadow arrived, Sith forces loyal to his rival Ludo Kressh attacked Sadow. Kressh was killed, and the Empire may have survived, but Sadow's fleet was then attacked by the Republic, which had persued him. Sadow sacrificed most of his fleet in a successful escape attempt that led the Republic to believe Sadow had been killed. The Sith were defeated. However, some of Kressh's forces survived, unknown to the Republic. A decade later, the Republic launched a second assault against the Sith Empire, resulting in its splintering and fall.

For over a millennium the Republic believed that the Old Sith Empire had been destroyed shortly afterward, but during the Mandalorian Wars it was rediscovered by the fallen Jedi Revan and Malak in the Unknown Regions, patiently waiting for its chance to return to power.
