The Sith Wars were a series of conflicts between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire. The Chiss Ascendancy also participated in the conflicts, and encountered a number of aliens before retreating to their borders.[1] Cervil the Uncanny, a Jedi who fought in the conflict, left behind testimonies about members of the Jedi Order using lightwhips in order to defend against Forbidden Forms used by the Sith.[4]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
The Sith Wars were first mentioned in the 2016 reference book Nexus of Power.[3]
In Star Wars Legends, the Chiss Ascendancy allied itself with the reconstituted Sith Empire during the Great Galactic War, the Cold War, and the Galactic War,[5] all of which took place from 3681 BBY onwards.[6] In addition, there were two Sith Wars in the Legends continuity: the Old Sith Wars, which lasted from 4000 BBY[7] to 3951 BBY,[8] and the New Sith Wars, which lasted from 2000 BBY to 1000 BBY.[7]
