Forum:SH:Renaming Sith genocide

In the process of drafting a page summarizing the events immediately following the Great Hyperspace War, I've come to the conclusion that the "Sith genocide" page should be renamed to the more general title&mdash;perhaps [ Galactic Republic counter-invasion of the Sith Empire] or something similar.

The event in question is generally referenced in sourcebooks and reference books like Star Wars: The Old Republic Encyclopedia & The Essential Atlas as a joint Jedi-Republic counter-invasion of the Stygian Caldera, not a genocide. While this invasion may have ultimately contributed to the gradual extinction of the Sith species as mentioned in Timeline 11: Rebirth of the Sith Empire, the various Timeline entries & TOR Codex entries like Galactic History 30 suggest that genocide was not its intended aim. Other sourcebooks like the Jedi Academy Training Manual indicate that its purpose was to oversee the demilitarization of the Empire & the destruction of dark side sites & artifacts by Jedi Shadows. The event is only passingly referenced as a genocide by Vitiate in The Old Republic: Revan as a means of stoking the fears of Sith survivors & encouraging surviving Sith Lords to take part in the Ritual of Nathema.

As an aside, the event was technically a speciecide, not a genocide, so the title should probably change regardless. Sebolto Talk 12:48, January 11, 2020 (UTC)
