Old Sith Wars

The Old Sith Wars was the name given to the series of conflicts that started with the Great Droid Revolution of 4,015 BBY and ended with the Destruction of Malachor V in 3,951 BBY.

History
Included in this era were the Great Sith War (4,000 - 3,996 BBY), the Mandalorian Wars (3,976 BBY - 3,960 BBY), the Jedi Civil War (3,959 - 3,956 BBY) and the Onderon Civil War (3,951 BBY). It also included the end of the Beast Wars of Onderon (c. 4,350 - 4,000 BBY), the First Sith Civil War (3,956 - 3,955 BBY), the First Jedi Purge (3,955-3,951 BBY) and the beginning of the Second Sith Civil War (3,951 - ? BBY).

The almost continuous sixty-four years of war nearly shattered the Galactic Republic and resulted in a near-total annihilation of the Jedi Order. However, the Republic held in the end, and between the elimination (at least for the time being) of such threats as the Mandalorians, the Krath and the Sith and the hardened resolve the wars gave the Galactic citizenry, the Republic emerged stronger than it was before.

Major figures of the time period of the Old Sith Wars included Ulic Qel-Droma, Exar Kun, Nomi Sunrider, Kreia, Mandalore the Indomitable, Mandalore the Ultimate, Darth Revan, Darth Malak, Bastila Shan and the Jedi Exile.

While the major conflicts of the Old Sith Wars were over by the end of the Second Sith Civil War, the Kanz Disorders (3,970 - 3,670 BBY) continued for nearly three centuries after the triumph of the Republic and the defeat of the Sith.

A major technological advance of the Old Sith Wars period was the navcomp, which became generally available at this time, making the Hyperspace beacon system obsolete.
