Imperial Military (Sith Empire)

"No single planet could withstand the might of the Imperial war machine."

- Eldon Ax

The Imperial Military was the martial force of the Sith Empire established in the galaxy's Unknown Regions following the Great Hyperspace War. The military was under the direct command of the Sith Emperor, but was overseen by the Minister of War. The Imperial Military invaded the Galactic Republic during the Great Galactic War and was ultimately victorious in the conflict.

The two branches of the military were the Army and Navy, although both branches also interacted with Imperial Intelligence. An example of officers in the Imperial Army and Navy were Grand Moffs Zellos and Rycus Kilran, respectively.

The Imperial Military was particularly close with Darth Malgus, and the Sith Lord reciprocated the appreciation&mdash;highly uncommon for Force-sensitive Sith at the time.

Over three millennia later, Palpatine would style the military of the Galactic Empire after that of the Sith.
