New Empire

Darth Malgus was a Dark Councilor, and was disgusted with the Sith Emperor's choice to create the Treaty of Coruscant. As a Sith Warrior who fought in war for almost all his life, Malgus could not stand by a treaty with the sworn enemies of the Sith.

In an attempt to gain more followers and have a few battles to fight, Malgus lead a loyal army of mercenaries, droids, Sith and others that felt like he did. Capturing many areas in the Unknown Regions for the Sith, Malgus's greatest opportunity to rule as a true emperor came when rumor spread that the Sith Emperor had been slain. Unbeknownst to all but a few, the Sith Emperor was not dead, merely wounded and weakened to the point of slumber, but it was only the Sith Emperor's voice that had fallen.

Amongst many ambitious Sith, Malgus proved the most powerful, already having a powerful and loyal army under his command. Malgus declared himself the Emperor of a new Empire that would crush both the Republic and the Sith Empire on Ilum, but was subsequently attacked by both the Republic and Empire for his efforts. His ally Darth Serevin was slain, and Malgus's flagship was soon under attack.

Malgus was defeated in battle, but survived and fled to an unknown sector of the galaxy. Malgus's Empire crumbled to dust, destroyed in two battles (Ilum and in the space above it), and Malgus had made an enemy of the Sith Emperor and Empire as a whole, and the Republic as well. In doing so, Malgus's dreams and hopes were crushed instantly.
