The Murese Postantiquity, more commonly known as the Murese Dark Ages, was a period of Murese cultural history that lasted from the fall of the Infinite Empire and First Predorate of Mure in 25,200 BBY until the fall of the Second Predorate of Mure in 13,137 BBY.
This period was marked by constant conflict between the vestigial remnants of the Rakata Infinite Empire known as the Second Predorate of Mure and the tribal confederation of their former Red Sith Zuguruk slaves. The fall of the Infinite Empire in 25,200 BBY and the concurrent loss of Force-sensitivity among the Rakata due to a plague that blinded them to the Force encouraged the Red Sith to rebel and seize the world for themselves. Marshaling under the banner of their leader Asmenys, the Sith fought for their emancipation in the War for Liberation in 25,195 BBY. Though they successfully took the Rakata capital of Sferastotazisiv, slew the Predor Bala'zar, and routed the forces of the First Predorate, the Red Sith suffered a series of orbital bombardments from the Imperial fleet remnant docked on the Monolith.
Fleeing the threat of constant orbital bombardment, the Red Sith turned to a migratory tribal societal paradigm that took them across the surface of the planet. Their attempts to settle and develop an agrarian society were prevented by both the Rakata and the harsh extended Murese winters that forced the Sith to wander to warmer climates every few standard years. The forces of the Rakata Second Predorate barricaded themselves inside their city-states on the planetary equator, but were unable to answer to prolonged Sith aggression. In a protracted conflict called the Long Defeat, the Rakata cities were picked off and resettled by the Sith over a period of twelve millennia, ending with the conquest of the final holdout of Sventoveruozas in 13,137 BBY.
