Dark Council (BD)

"We formed this council to lead the Empire, not to fight! Do you fools not see the flaw in our ways? We cannot achieve victory if we do not stop fighting and work together!"

- Darth Tormenus

The Dark Council, sometimes referred to as the Dark Council of the Sith Empire, is the leading body of the Sith Empire formed around 34 ABY by the members of the Sith Triumvirate. In 39 ABY, Darth Phorid was assigned the position of Emperor with the disappearance of Darth Nebulous, thus prompting the remaining members of the Triumvirate to leave. The Sith Empire fell into disarray, and was disbanded with the Dark Council.

In 331 ABY it was reorganized with the reappearance of Nebulous, and the Sith Empire was prepared for their final conquest of the galaxy.
