"Sith? We are no Sith."

- Unnamed Fuathan trooper "They're followers of the Dark Side, and they believe that it should be the dominant force in the galaxy... but they're not Sith. Whatever the hell this new so-called 'Empire' is, it feels completely different from the beings we knew as Sith."

- Battlemaster Rend Arcturius

The Fuath were an Order of Force-sensitives who pledged allegiance to the dark side of the Force. Founded by a being known as Vough during the creation of what would become the Je'daii Order on the planet Tython. Refusing to accept Ashla, Vough led a small legion of followers away from the new order and into an area beyond the Unknown Regions. Arriving on a planet that they would christen Dvesada, they began to establish their own society, with their plans slowly morphing into domination of the galaxy that they had left behind. Building up their own military force, they began to enslave all of planets and species surrounding them, forming the Fuathan Empire and continuing to spread their culture and believes throughout the galaxy. As the world that they abandoned continued to grow and evolve, they unleashed a small horde of infiltrators into society, forming whole families out of them and preparing for their eventual invasion. Taking advantage of the chaos that resulted from the fall of the Galactic Empire, the Fuath launched a small assault and managed to quietly take over the Sith holy world of Rhelg, and expanded their influence rapidly, enslaving the rest of former Sith space and making use of their connection to the Dark Side, establishing puppet governments to fool the rapidly growing New Republic and its eventual successor, the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances. They eagerly observed the emergence of the One Sith and their own Empire, but in the end did very little to actually assist them or prevent their fall. Finally, over 5 millennia since their founding, the Fuath were ready to invade and retake the galaxy.

The Fuath Order itself played a major roll in the following Fuath-Triumvirate War, with most of their Wrath Lords taking part in leading the major military operations, albeit leaving most of the governmental duties and the like to the Empire proper, with Vough, having prolonged his life for an obscene amount of time through a variety of rituals and inhabiting a great variety of bodies, taking up the title of their emperor. The war was a great success for them early on, easily defeating and driving back the forces of the Galactic Federation Triumvirate and the New Jedi Order and conquering the Outer Rim within a matter of weeks, before assaulting the Mid Rim and eventually pushing into the Core. Their offensive culminated in the Siege of Coruscant, where Vough commanded that a good half of the Order's forces lead the assault. It was a viscous and unforgiving battle, the GFT doing all that they possibly could to hold the planet while the Fuathan did all in their power to conquer it as quickly as they could. In the end, the combined forces of the Triumvirate managed to repel and defeat the Fauthan fleet, a great deal of the Order's fighters being eradicated at the same time. Reeling from this loss, they retreated, but where quickly pursued, leading to a counter-invasion. After repelling a series of battles and even allying briefly with their enemies in order to quell the Sith Uprising on Dromund Kaas. Their battles ended with the Battle of Dantooine, in which their founder was killed once and for all and their empire was nearly eradicated.

With their offensive failed and their leader dead, the Fauth scattered across the galaxy.
