Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire, often called simply the Galactic Empire, was a galactic government that was formed by Sith Lord, and former Jedi, Darth Krayt, following a coup in which he overthrew Emperor Roan Fel. The Fel Empire then fractured between those loyal to the Sith and those to Emperor Fel, which caused the Second Galactic Civil War. After several years of fighting among Krayt's Empire, Fel's Empire-in-exile, the Galactic Alliance Remnant, and remnants of the New Jedi Order, the Sith were defeated.
