Era(s)
 In the aftermath of the Great Hyperspace War of 5000 BBY, the remnants of the original Sith Empire established a new Sith Empire in the galaxy's Unknown Regions. This Empire, also known as the True Sith sect, was created after Sith survivors of Dark Lord of the Sith Naga Sadow's disastrous campaign against the Galactic Republic fled known space to escape persecution by the Republic and its Jedi Order. Led by the Sith Lord Vitiate, the refugees wandered aimlessly through space in search of a new home. Twenty years after their departure from the original Empire's territory, the Sith discovered the forgotten world of Dromund Kaas and settled it to begin the process of rebuilding.
 * Old Republic

During the rebuilding process, Vitiate proclaimed himself to be the Dark Lord of his order and Emperor of his people. Under the care of the Emperor and his Dark Council of Sith Lords, the Empire established its capital of Kaas City and began building a mighty war machine, with the intent of eventually returning to combat with the Galactic Republic once more. The Empire worked towards that goal for over one thousand years, gradually expanding and gaining more power and influence. During that time, the Sith were discovered by Jedi Knights Revan and Malak, who were forcibly turned to the dark side of the Force by the Emperor and became Sith. Although they were sent back to serve as the vanguards of the Empire's eventual invasion, they broke free from his conditioning and formed concurrently their own Sith Empire, but the Republic defeated the two and their remnant, and knowledge of the Empire remained hidden.

Around three hundred years later, the Sith Empire—still under the command of Vitiate —was ready to return to the greater galaxy. After covertly installing puppet governments on Republic worlds across the Outer Rim Territories, the Sith invaded Republic space in an onslaught of unrivaled proportions.

After capturing and securing much of the Outer Rim in the early stages of what would become known as the Great Galactic War, the Sith Emperor began preparing for the push towards the Republic's bastion in the Galactic Core. Despite several setbacks in its campaign towards the core, the Empire surged forward once more, crippling the Republic economy through an alliance with the Mandalorian warrior clans. However the blockade was eventually broken by Hylo Visz, and reinforcements from the Republic which brought the war into another stalemate. After nearly 3 decades of fighting, the Empire surprised the galaxy when the Dark Council extended an offer of peace to the Republic. Desperate, the Republic senate accepted, but during peace talks on Alderaan, the Empire launched a sneak attack on the Republic capital of Coruscant. The attack was a rousing success for the Empire, allowing the Sith to force the Republic to sign their draft of the document that would end the war, the Treaty of Coruscant.

With the war at an end and the Empire stronger than ever, the Emperor retreated from the public view and passed responsibilities of the day-to-day maintenance of the Empire to the Dark Council. As a result of the Empire's co-existence with the Republic, an interstellar Cold War emerged in the immediate aftermath of the Great War, during which time the Empire engaged in proxy battles and small conflicts with the Republic and its allies.

Sith Civil War
After thirteen years of co-existence, many Sith Empire weakened, stagnated and declined, which was admitted by many important imperial officials and Sith Lords, include larger part of Dark Council. This led to short-lived and nearly bloodless conflict among top-ranks of Sith Empire. Reformists led by Darth Marr, Darth Malgus, Darth Vowrawn and Darth Serevin and supported by Imperial Army and Navy, Imperial Intelligence, non-human and non-pureblood races, merchants and bussiness class of Sith Empire overthrew remnants of traditionalists and conservatives. That happend during terrorist insurgency after assassination of Sith Emperor Vitiate.

While traditionalists and conservatives led by Darth Gravus, Darth Acharon and Darth Thanaton were fragmented and full of traditional Sith conspiracy and intriguing, reformists were united and enable to deep cooperation and unity. Only this prevented full-scale civil war and collapse of Sith Empire.

Background
Just after proclamation of Darth Marr as new Sith Emperor Vadovas the First, he immediately started with era called as "Great Imperial Reformation". Great Imperial Reformation is time period from year 13 ATC until year 20 ATC during which Resurgent Sith Empire pass depth reforms and changes in all areas, from military, through economy, policy, governing bodies and creating constitution, etc.

Great Imperial Reforms were based on warning of Darth Vowrawn and his secret inner report about critical economic situation in Sith Empire. Among other problems, Darth Vowrawn criticized large corruption within imperial officials and Sith ranks, massive defraudation of state property, low revenues from high taxation, mishandling of trade routes, extreme high tarrifs and customs, extreme low economic and resources usage of imperial planets (in best case only 5-10% of planetary resources and economy was used by Sith Empire, contrary to 25-30% Republic average)

Government Reformation.
First step was reformation of Dark Council. Dark Council was harshly reduced. Sphere of Biotic Science was merged with Sphere of Technology to Sphere of Science and Technology. Sphere of Mysteries and Sphere of Sith Philosophy was merged with Sphere of Ancient Knowledges. Sphere of Intelligence was disbanded and all resources were transfered to classical government Imperial Intelligence. Sphere of Military Offensive and Sphere of Strategy was merged to Sphere of Imperial Defense. In "reconstitued" Dark Council remained only progressive reformists and moderate conservatives.

Then Emperor started with creating much stronger non-Sith Imperial government in form of "Imperial Council". This council is formed from ministries, whos ministers are exclusively non-Siths. New Imperial Council is formed from: Every each of these ministries had important agenda in Great Imperial Reformation and were granted with much larger competence and political power then their predecessors.
 * Ministry of Imperial Defense: Arkos Rakton (Human)
 * Ministry of Economy and Finance: Wel Tarkus (Koorivar)
 * Ministry of Science and Technology: Arkis Wode (Anomidian)
 * Ministry of Services: Eckard Lokin (Human)
 * Ministry of Resources:Delmara (Chiss)
 * Ministry of Consolidation: Yozev Wrain (Human)
 * Ministry of Intelligence: Keeper (Human)

Constitution Formation.
Among other reforms, Emperor Vadovas the First decided that New Sith Empire will have own constitution. He appointed radical reformist Darth Imperius and moderate conservative Darth Mortis to write first Sith constitution. They were able to write compromise constitution, which secured many powers for Sith Order, but also enlargered power of civilian government and Imperial Military. New constitution declared few important changes:
 * Emperor is elected by popular vote of all literate, propert-owning and free people of Sith Empire.
 * Emperor is elected only after his death and can not be dismissed from his office.
 * Office of Sith Emperor is open for non-Sith and non-Human species.
 * Sith Empire have two houses parliament - appointed Imperial Merit Council for Sith Lords, merchants, army commanders, admirals and many experts and Imperial Chamber of Deputies elected in parliament election.
 * Parliament elections are every 5 years.
 * Parliament appointing ministers.
 * New Sith Empire is declared as oligarchic and military meritocracy.
 * Constitution protect private property, bussiness, law and order.
 * Constitution protect all free subjects of Sith Empire against crimes of Galactic Republic, Jedi Order or mishandling by imperial officials and Siths.
 * Constitution protect slavery.
 * Constitution declared Sith Empire as secular area with full freedom of religions.

Economic Reformation.
Darth Vowrawn, Yozev Wrain, Delmarra and Wel Tarkus created their own working group to reform imperial economy. Their "Tarkus Reform" had political and economical goals: First of all, stabilize Sith Empire economy, improve budget, diversify economy, reform currency and improve usage of Empire planetse. Second was political one, to improve appearance of Sith Empire contrary to Galactic Republic as place better for life and better alternative. This was extreme difficult reform, because in some cases, reform clashed with interest groups, when reformers wanted to cut budget (for example less money on imperial navy maintenance). However, many reform elements were accepted without resistance and had positive effect on Sith economy. Following these economic reforms, Sith Empire avoided economic collapse, while large number of Republic merchant and merchant guilds moved to Sith Empire. Tax reforms, improving security condition of trade routes, Free Trade Agreement and other reforms led to increase of Sith Empire revenue by 100 millions Sith Credits (17 billions Galactic Credits) in first five years and economic growth by 5-6% p.a. (during pre-reformation era, Sith economy was in decline 2% per annum, or in best case only stagnated). After few years, average usage of imperial planets capabilities and resources increased from 5-10% to 20-25%, while still lower then Galactic Republic, it is much efficient and with much larger number of planet even advantage.
 * Investment of billions credits in to infrastructure and development.
 * Forming of tripartity of imperial government, merchant guilds and moffs.
 * Decreasing direct taxes.
 * Decreasing of trade route taxes from 25% to 5%.
 * Decreasing customs and tariffs.
 * Abolition of inheritance and land taxes and all agricultural taxes.
 * Abolition of progressive taxation and creating flat tax.
 * Tax exemption for colonists and consolidation forces.
 * Opening of Imperial Stock Exchange on all important planets.
 * Negotiation of Galactic Free Trade Agreement (GFTA) with Chiss Ascendency, Hutt Space and smaller states and empires.
 * Creating public archives of economic and resources capabilities of imperial planets.
 * Harsh punishment for corrupted officials.
 * Forming "Trade Militia" - armed forces composed of Imperial Navy, mercenaries and merchant private militias to defend trade routes against pirates and Republic, funded from trade route taxes.
 * Monetary reform, creating Sith Credit.
 * Establishing "Sith Imperial Bank" and new central bank independent on government.
 * Reduction of government influence on economy.

Another political problem for Galactic Republic was fact that many Sith Empire economic reforms influenced Republic subjects, while Republic economic policy led to disapprovement, especially high taxes and customs. Plus, Sith Imperial Bank borrowed also money for Republic corporations, citizens and planets, while Galactic Republic was not able to compete with new Sith economy policy.

Sith Order Reformation.
Darth Imperius was appointed in reformation of Sith Order. He criticized hypocrisy among Sith Lords based on their despise of some feelings and emotions like love, happiness and others, in similar way like Jedi Order. Darth Imperius permitted marriage among Sith Lords, declared female Siths with title "Lady" and started massive recruitment campaing in all imperial species to enstrenght Sith Order, but he also reformed training program of Sith Academies in much more difficult ways, with many hardcore elements and assigned old Sith Lords in form of Force-Ghosts as academy trainers.

Science, technology and services in New Sith Empire.
Before Great Imperial Reformation, most of science, technologies and services in Sith Empire were oriented only on military needs. Darth Acina, Darth Hadra, doctor Eckard Lokin and Arkis Wode started large reform of scientific advacements and services. New science policy was oriented not just on military needs, but also on economic technologies, on low-cost energy resources, medical research and biotechnology, lowering all maintenance and high cost of old technologies, increasing energy production and decreasing maintenance costs and improving life condition in Sith Empire.

Doctor Lokin reforms were oriented on support of universal education, meritocratic social service system and universal health care.
