Sith Empire (Post-Second Imperial Civil War)

"Those who pledge their loyalty to me, i will take you somewhere the Jedi will never find us, a place of peace to live with out fear. I will promise you this we will rebuild and come back stronger than ever to reclaim what is rightfully ours. The Sith will return and the Jedi will feel our wrath."

- The Lord Emperor rallying the defeated Sith

The Grand Empire, also called Sith Empire, or simply the Empire , was the government that formed out of the remnants of the Galactic Empire fled in The galaxys Unknown Regions, led by the newly proclaimed Dark Lord of the Sith known as Darth Malphas and reastablished it into his own Empire.

With the Empire on the brink of collapse and their leader dead at the hands of Cade Skywalker, Darth Krayt's secret apprentice Darth Malphas came out of the shadows to finally put his plans into action and betrayed the sith to established his own order, now a very powerful and cunning Dark Lord, he ceased to Darth Malphas and became the Emperor. The Emperor was able to blame the destruction of Ziost on the Jedi, frightening the remaining Sith, and then offering them a glimpse of hope, promising to take all those who pledge their loyalty to him to a safe world where the Jedi could never find them.

Over the years the Emperors influence spread and conquered most of the unknown systems, some willingly submitted to the dark lord out of fear. After a thousand years of hiding and rebuilding, the jedi had discovered the Sith Empire and acting out of fear, the jedi waged war against the empire. Led by the Shadow Council while their mysterious Emperor took a back seat, the galaxy plunged into war lasting twenty four years. With the sith not wanting to be defeated again, the Empire struck back with the almight armarda and pushed back the jedi out of Sith space. The Sith starting conquering the Outer Rim and battle after battle the Sith were on the bring of victory.

The jedi on the verge of extincton, desperately searching for the Siths ruler knowing that with the emperor dead the Empire would be in disarray without their precious leader. The Emperor in a secret location and was nowhere to be found and with the Federation angry at the Jedi for starting the war offered the Sith Empire a peace treaty.

The Empire took advantage of the situation, with the Federation handing over star systems and with the federation blaming the Jedi for their heavy losses and countless lives lost, they dissolved the Jedi Order and branded them enemies. The Emperor pleased that the Jedi are no more and signed the treaty as long as the Federation banished the jedi forever. The Emperor now ruled over more than half of the galaxy and with the Federation in their weakened state and their people losing faith in the Federation, it was a matter of time before the rest of the galaxy would be willingly to join the Empire.
