Paecian Empire

"This Empire founded by war has to maintain itself by war."

- Emperor Cadmus Avalon The Paecian Empire was centred around the capital of Paecia. During its over two thousand year existence, the Empire remained one of the most powerful economic, cultural and military force in the Outer Rim. Formed from the remnant of the Sith Empire (Post–Great Hyperspace War) by the rogue Sith Lord Darth Vakaris, its nobility were direct lineage from the ancient Sith Lords. Protected by a group of former Sith Knights who later became the Sentinel Mercenaries, Force-using soldiers-for-hire who were frequently recruited to be the guardians of the Empire.



Desperate setbacks and territorial losses occurred especially during the Jedi Conquest, Sith Resurrection Wars, and the Huttese Invasions. In 2992 BBY, much of the territory's heartland was lost to the Rukwan Kingdom, but the Komnus Restoration of 2,898 BBY, or Komnus Crusade, under Emperor Komnus I saw the destruction of Rukwa Prime and the Paecian Empire was reformed. It rose to become the predominant galactic power rivalling the Hutt Empire, Ashla Protectorate, Tund Imperium, and the Galactic Republic.
