First Sith Empire (HLU)

The First Sith Empire was the first major Empire created by the Sith. It was founded in 6,801 BBY by Exar Kun. Two years later, it took over the Galaxy and became the ruling government. It splintered by civil war and in 5,542 BBY, the Sith Imperial Senate was mass executed by Darth Bane, ruler of the Empire. This set off a series of wars, the biggest one called the Galactic Revolutionary War. The Empire was overthrown in 3,722 BBY, but would not be dissolved until 1,112 BBY.
