Sith Triumvirate



"To be united by hatred is a fragile alliance at best."

- Darth Traya

The Sith Triumvirate was a loose alliance of what remained of Revan's - then Malak's - Sith Empire. It was solidified sometime after the Battle of Rakata Prime. This organization was comprised of several, if not hundreds of Sith apprentices, Sith Masters and most importantly, Sith Assassins. It was responsible for the near complete destruction of the Jedi Order during the First Jedi Purge and the attack on Katarr.

"... But above these legions there are three who must be stopped. As long as any one of them lives then we, and all life are doomed."

- Kreia

The Triumvirate was lead by three joint-Dark Lords of the Sith: Darth Traya and her two apprentices, Darth Nihilus and Darth Sion. They were in power around 3,955 BBY through 3,951 BBY, and after the two apprentices betrayed and exiled Traya, the organization splintered into two separate sects. One then followed Nihilus and the other followed Sion.

What remained of the Sith Triumvirate after these events was ultimately destroyed. Most of its casualities can be attributed to the actions of the Jedi Exile, one of the few survivors of the First Jedi Purge.

Behind the scenes

 * Despite a popular misunderstanding, Triumvirate is a term meaning 'team ruled by three persons', not 'three rulers'. Therefore, the term Triumvirate describes the whole alliance of all the Sith Lords, ultimately ruled by Traya, Nihilus, and Sion.


 * Another Triumvirate in the Star Wars saga was ruled by Moff Disra, Grodin Tierce and Flim.
