Great Imperial Rebellion (Line of False Time)

Background and prelude
Defeat of Sith Empire in battle of Nar Shaddaa is consider as worst defeat in Sith history since Great Hyperspace War and later Battle of Yavin. After defeat of Galactic Republic, supreme rule and authority of Sith Empire over most of galaxy was indisputable. Even Independent Confederacy was in very influenced by military power and economic hegemony of Sith Empire, however overambitious Sith Emperess Rana decided to final crush of Independent Confederacy and Hutt Space.

This ambition led to Battle of Nar Shaddaa where, because of lack of experienced officers, many tactical and strategical mistakes and underestimated power of Hutts military, Sith Imperial Armada, top-leaders of Sith military and even Emperess herself, were defeated and killed. Decisive defeat of Sith Empire in this battle was informal signal to all resistance movements, all unsatisfied citizens of Sith Empire and remnants of Galactic Republic to start massive insurgency and rebellions in whole galaxy.

Baynar rule
Rana son Baynar took rule over Sith Empire right after Emperess death and Nar Shaddaa defeat. Baynar was less ambitious and less incompetent then his mother, however he had lack of skills to rule over Empire which were on brink of collapse. Hereditary succession in Sith Empire lost all popularity and most of Sith Imperial Army, imperial intelligence and imperial parliament formed opposition against Baynar rule. Only Imperial Merit Council, Sith Order and some parts of Imperial Navy remained loyal to Baynar.

This loyality however fade away when enemies of Sith Empire unified in Galactic Liberation Army and achieved important victories on Alderaan, Tatooine, on Rimma Trade Route and Brentaal. After Brentaal defeat, opposition forced Emperor to dismiss Grandadmiral Kotov, who was staunchest supporter of Emperor in imperial military and navy. His place took Ryn, first Rakatan imperial admiral. Because of brutal terror and atrocities, which helped to ignite many rebellions, council of moffs dismissed another loyalist, mirilian Grand Moff Yizak and replaced him with human Byran.

Imperial Civil War
In the middle of rebellion, Sith Empire experienced short civil war between Baynar loyalists and newly elected Emperor Vadovas III. Elected Emperor was able to gain support of all dissenters and even from some Sith Order groups and led attack on Dromund Kaas. Imperial Civil War ended with decisive Vadovas victory, when even Navy loyalists defected to Vadovas side and only Imperial Guard and few military units in Kaas remained loyal to Emperor Baynar. However, Imperial Civil War ended even before Vadovas strike itself, when masses of Sith citizens attacked Sith Citadel, killed loyalists and lynched Emperor Baynar whos mutilated corps was dragged through Kaas City.

Vadovas rule
As first act, Vadovas III. dissmised all incompetent Baynar loyalists from their offices and positions, then he declared general amnesty to all rebels and insurgents who will surrender. This had success on Coruscant, where rebel armies recognized they do not have enough military capabilities to win and rather surrendered to Imperial authorities.

Another step to end rebellion was amnesty and autonomy to all rebelling planets, while in same time, Vadovas warned resisting planets about orbital bombardment. Nearly half of rebelling planets surrendered and swear oath of loyality to new Emperor.

Sith Emperor also changed Sith Constitution in way that hereditary succession is not permitted and every Emperor or Emperess must be elected by people and parliament, not pressed by former Emperor, or Emperess. This calmed down large number of insurgents.

Then, Sith Emperor started with reorganized military campaign of quick and decisive strikes against insurgent fortress, planets and colonies. In just six weeks, Sith Imperial Military under Vadovas III. personal command was able to destroy nearly two thirds of remaining insurgents, captured and kill all members of GLA commanding committee and eliminate number of SIS terrorist and infiltration cells in Sith Empire.
