Great Territorial War (Role-Play)

"True glory springs not from the silent conquest of ourselves, but the violent conquest of others."

- Empress Viea

The Great Territorial War was a major galactic conflict fought twenty-five years after the Jedi Civil War between the oppressive forces of the Sith Empire and the Jedi Order. Also involved in the conflict were the forces of the Galactic Republic, the Mandalorians and the House of EbonClaw. The conflict was fought primarily to acquire new territory throughout the galaxy.

The conflict traced its origins back to the aftermath of the Jedi Civil War when the Sith Empire and the Jedi Order were in shambles. Only a few hundred remained on each side and each was desperate to get a foothold on new territory. Because the Galactic Republic was still attempting to rebuild after the horrifying events of the Mandalorian War, they paid the initial conflict no mind as they felt it was a Jedi affair. However, once the Mandalorians and the House of EbonClaw, a race discovered only a few years prior, entered the conflict they knew that they would have to defend their territory. However, they were forced to retreat once the Sith took control of Coruscant.

The decisive confrontations came when the Sith Empire split in two and began fighting within itself. The Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic were able to take advantage of this and began pushing the Sith back. However, the conflict was not over until Coruscant was liberated by Ussej Padric Bac, Boreguard Madet and many others. The Sith Empire retreated back to Korriban and would not take part in another conflict for forty years.
