Great Galactic War

The Great War was a war between the Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic between 3,700 BBY and 3,600 BBY. It heralded the return of the ancient Sith, remnants of the Empire from the Great Hyperspace War who sought revenge for their humiliating defeat at the hands of the Jedi and the Republic. The Sith's invasion caught the Republic by surprise. The Sith seized many worlds in the Outer Rim, destroyed the shipyards at Sluis Van, and cut-off the Rimma Trade Route. The War came to an end with the Sacking of Coruscant and the signing of the Treaty of Coruscant. The end of the Great War set the stage for a cold war between the Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic in the years that followed.
