The Sith Eternal maintained a military that consisted of an army and a fleet. Formed prior to 35 ABY on the Sith world Exegol, it was defeated by the Resistance and its allies at the final battle there during the war.
Organization
The Sith Eternal's military was created on Exegol from materials provided by corporations such as Kuat-Entralla Engineering and Sienar-Jaemus Fleet Systems, whose directorates were infiltrated with Darth Sidious' Sith loyalists. Its military members were young humans raised on the Sith world[2] after the fall of the Emperor in 4 ABY.[5]
Sith Eternal fleet
The Sith Eternal fleet was assembled on Exegol prior to Kylo Ren's arrival. This military branch was to aid the Sith in establishing a New Empire over the galaxy.[1] The fleet consisted of hundreds of Xyston-class Star Destroyers equipped with axial superlasers able to destroy entire planets and thousands of Tie/dg starfighters.[1]
Sith Eternal army
The Sith Eternal army was composed of Sith troopers, Sith jet troopers and the elite Sovereign Protectors. They utilized advanced AAL-2100/9.5 atmospheric assault landers. The Sith troopers were divided into legions named after ancient Sith Lords, while the Sith jet troopers were divided into squads named after Sith weaponry.[1]
History
This military force was revealed to the galaxy in a demonstration of its destructive potential;[1] one of its starfleet's Xyston-class Star Destroyers, the Derriphan, utilized its axial superlaser on the Mid Rim planet Kijimi,[2] resulting in the annihilation the planet in a scale comparable to that of the Death Stars'[6][7] and Starkiller Base's superweapons.[8] This represented the true power of the military force and demonstrated the Sith Eternal's ability and willingness to obliterate entire planets, which refused to submit to the Final Order's authority.
This military suffered extensive losses during the Battle of Exegol, where the Resistance and its allies—the galaxy fleet[9]—emerged victorious from confronting the resurgent Emperor, who also perished on the world.[1]

- ↑ Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary dates the events of Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker as taking place one year after the Starkiller Incident. As Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates the Incident to 34 ABY, it can be deduced the events of Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker take place in 35 ABY and that the Sith Eternal military was dissolved in 35 ABY.

As Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates the Incident to 34 ABY, it can be deduced the events of Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker take place in 35 ABY. The ages of Sith Eternal military members at the time are provided in the Visual Dictionary. With the exception of senior high-ranking officers such as Allegiant General Enric Pryde, the members, such as ST-A1215, Simero Quonit, and Chesille Sabrond, were aged from thirty to twenty-one years. Hence, it could be deduced that they were born around 5 ABY—14 ABY, which was after the fall of the Emperor as it occured during the Battle of Endor, itself depicted in Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi, which is dated to 4 ABY, a period of time in the galactic calendar prior to that of 5—14 ABY, all again in accordance with the Galactic Atlas.
