Sith Empire/Legends

''This is the original Sith Empire. You may also be looking for Sith Empire (Jedi Civil War) or Sith Empire (New Sith Wars)''

The Sith Empire was an Empire established by Dark Jedi banished from the Republic. The leader of the Sith Empire was the Dark Lord of the Sith.

The Sith Empire was far smaller than the Galactic Republic, but much wealthier, and in possession of potent, unique technology.

In 5,000 BBY, the Sith Empire, led by Naga Sadow, rediscovered the existence of the Republic and decided to conquer it. Thus, the Great Hyperspace War began. However, after an assault on Coruscant, the Sith were defeated. However, rebel Sith forces loyal to Ludo Kressh survived, unknown to the Republic.

For over a millennium the Republic believed that the Sith Empire had been destroyed shortly afterward, but during the Mandalorian Wars it was rediscovered by the fallen Jedi Revan and Malak in the Unknown Regions, patiently waiting for its chance to return to power.
