Galactic Empire of the Sith

gseThe Galactic Empire of the Sith, commonly known as Galactic Sith Empire, was a political organization that succeeded the Great Sith Empire after the war held by the Galactic Republic and the Concordat of Imperial Worlds.

General information
The Empire was founded by Darth Toc, the last Consul of the Concordat, in 54 BBS when the Galactic Republic declared its surrender after the Imperial invasion of Coruscant. After that, Toc self-appointed himself as the Galactic Emperor and organized the government of the Empire.

Over time, the Empire gained much more power than its founder, the Concordat, imposing their laws and establishing their regime all around the Galaxy. This irritated a large part of the population, including the old followers of the Republic, that decided to create a military organization known as the Alliance for Freedom. This event started the War of Liberation (circa 40 BBS).

During the reign of the Empire, the Sith became a quite respected religion, and its active followers gained a lot of power (members of the Sith Inquisition and Faculty of Sith Alchemy). The Inquisitors were in charge of defenestrating the survivors of the Jedi Order, while the Sith Alchemists developed an undercover project consisting on the creation of outrageous leviathans in order to vanquish their enemies.

The Imperial Armed Forces was one of the most powerful and well-structured of all the history of the Galaxy. Their skilled troopers and variety of specialised soldiers made the Imperial Army completely versatile and almost invincible. This way, the Empire made every battle finish with their victory. However, a series of defeats around year 0 ABS made the army fragile and weak. The Alliance for Freedom finally won the Battle of Sarkfah and slayed Darth Toc (0 ABS), a historical milestone. Nevertheless, the Empire, leaded by Darth Zitox, managed to reorganize its inner structure quickly and hinder the foundation of the New Galactic Republic, rising as the new Perpetual Empire.

Historical Background
Once the Expansion War had finished, after the defeat of the Dark Empire, the remaining followers of the Empire fled to the Outer Rim of the Galaxy. There, they managed to reorganize their army and inner structure, founding the Concordat of Imperial Worlds (CIW), a military corporation formed by the alliance of the imperialist sectors of the Galaxy, whose aim was to overthrow the Republic once for all and reestablish its regime.

When Darth Rex (last Dark Emperor) died, after the fragmentation of the Dark Empire, Darth Umbra automatically took absolute control over the army and commanded its flight to the Outer Rim. After years of recovery, war and, afterwards, conquest and glory, the CIW managed to invade Coruscant snatching it from the Galactic Republic, which eased their victory. The Republican Senate had no other choice than announcing its surrender and dissolution.

This victory happened during the lead of Yahn Vaaron, who founded the new Galactic Empire of the Sith and proclaimed himself as the Galactic Sith Emperor. The political authorities were inmediately appointed to organize the legislation over the territories of their vast empire, as soon as possible.

Over time, the citizens of the Galaxy started to feel overwhelmed due to the atrocities made by the Empire. There was no freedom at all, neither authonomy. This is why lots of civilians raised against their local government, creating rebel cells all around the imperial domains. The main rebel uprising arose in Corellia, planet in which the future Alliance for Freedom would be created. The imperial planetary administrator of Corellia was overthrown, by a local insurrection, due to a putsch. The rebel leaders from the planet signed the Treaty of Coronet, in the capital city of Corellia. This meant the union of every rebel cell in the planet, creating a military organization called Alliance for Freedom. After that, other rebel
