The Sith Empire

The Sith Empire was a major government established in the year 50 ABY by Darth Malgus. The Sith became a major threat to the Galaxy in the year 100 ABY.

History
The Sith Empire began in the year 50 ABY when Darth Malgus consolidated his Sith apprentices and trainees into one unified cause.

Conquest of the Chiss Ascendancy
By the year 55 ABY, the Sith Empire had enough vessels and Sith Lords to begin attacking key targets in the Galaxy. While on Coruscant, Malgus read of a notable Old Empire Grand Admiral known as Thrawn.

The Sith Empire began its attack of the Chiss Ascendancy by sacking the capital city of Csaplar. After three grueling days, the ruler of the Ascendancy, Sevesh'eere'nuruodo, was captured and brought to Malgus, who executed her in front of thousands of Chiss.

Following this affront to Chiss society, chaos broke out as Chiss tried to unite and fight the Sith Empire to no avail. The young were taken to the planet Ilum, where they were tasked with mining kyber for the Sith Navy's weaponry. Soon after, the Chiss as a whole were utilized as the foot soldiers in the Sith Army.

The Bane Movement
The Bane Movement was a term used to describe the Sith Empire's infiltration of the Mandalorian Federation and the Core Triumvirate during the time of the Second Galactic Civil War. It would soon be discovered that much of the Federation Assembly's senators were in fact undercover Sith, and were planning on using the Cronese Way to push Spice through Federation Space into Hutt Space, as an effort to fund their Naval arsenal.

The Spice operation was supposed to be headquartered on the planet Bestine. Four years prior, the Sith Empire installed a puppet leader named Darrik Thane, who would soon become the Assembly Leader. Thane was tasked with making sure the Cronese Way was implemented no matter the cost.

Federation Grand Admiral Raylen Eros began questioning different members of the Federation, including Thane, and on the day of the Cronese Referendum, a joint Triumvirate-Federation task Force raided the Assembly Hall and eradicated the Sith threat on Sundari.

Out of options, Malgus revealed himself to Duchess Cynthia Crane in a vision, claiming to be a three-thousand-year-old darkness that was ready to attack the Galaxy in a moment's notice.

Mining Operation on Ilum
The Sith began its mining operation on Ilum in the year 56 ABY, where they began stripping the planet of kyber to be used for new lightsabers as well as weaponry aboard their vessels. When the Mandalorian Federation's privately contracted Navy manufacturer, Eriadu Shipyards, offered to travel to Ilum in search of kyber for the Federation Navy, Darth Kaix tasked Darrik Thane with preventing that from happening.
