Revan had developed a desire for power and shortly after, along with his apprentice Malak, he set off to search for an ancient creation known as The Star Forge a massive space station with the power to create machines with raw stellar material and Dark Side Force, a leftover from the eons old Rakatan civilization. Revan drove back the Mandalorians and finally defeated them in a terrible battle on Malachor V which left the planet scorched and inhospitable. The charismatic young Jedi Revan realizing the Republic would be crushed if not supported, defied the Council's order's set out to aid the war effort, proving himself a military genius and extremely powerful in the force. The war went poorly for the Republic in the early stages of the war and as the Republic cried out for the help, the Jedi Council called for caution sensing a far greater threat behind this attack. They began by conquering worlds outside the Republic's territory and then launched an all-out attack on three different sectors. The Mandalorian Wars occurred almost 40 years after the war of Exar Kun. The self-proclaimed Dark Lords were eventually defeated but victory came at a terribly high cost the Great Library and the Jedi Academy on Ossus were decimated during the fighting, forcing the Jedi to relocate to Coruscant where they built the Jedi Temple around a small mountain peak that was the center of a Force nexus. After Exar Kun traveled to Yavin 4 to unearth Naga Sadow's teachings and took command of the remnants of the Massassi, he began to spread the teachings of the Sith in Ossus, Jedi Knight Ulic Qel-Droma joined forces with him as commanded by the spirit of the long-dead Marka Ragnos who believed together they could bring about the Golden Age of the Sith. When his Master Vodo-Siosk Bass stepped in he defeated his own master. The Sith Homeworld of Korriban The Great Sith War ġ,004 years later a promising young Padawan named Exar Kun fought and nearly killed a fellow student in a disagreement. Korriban had been bombed by Republic forces and the Sith Empire was crippled, during the next 1300 years it would hide and rebuild to reemerge only when fully capable of taking its revenge on The Republic and The Jedi.

Without the Empire's support and his own fleet decimated, he fled to Yavin 4 where he entombed his warship and cocooned himself in a suspended animation chamber and left his Massassi warriors as guardians hoping someone would come to pick up the Sith teachings where he left off and bring about the Sith Golden Age that the Dark Lord Marka Ragnos had foretold. After betraying him and leaving him for dead, he was surprised to find him alive and well. Naga Sadow had had a power struggle after the funeral of Marka Ragnos against Ludo Kresh who opposed Sadow's intentions of expanding the Empire's borders. The Jedi rallied to the aid of the Republic and after a few successfull battles in the core worlds, the Republic fleets followed the retreating Sith and counterattacked on Korriban. This tranquil way of life was endangered by the Dark Lord Naga Sadow when, after the iron-handed century rule of the Sith Empire by Dark Lord of the Sith Marka Ragnos died, his campaign for Galactic dominance began, this was the Great Hyperspace War in the years 5000 B.B.Y (Before Battle of Yavin, Episode IV).Īrmies led by Dark Lord of the Sith Naga Sadow began their initial onslaught to destroy the Galactic Republic.

For more than twenty thousand years it has been the pinnacle of progress and prosperity. Through millennia they intermarried and became a conquering force.ĭefended by the Jedi Order and governed by the Galactic Senate, the Galactic Republic has been renowned for its intimidating, yet peaceful, non-conquering power. While the origin of the Sith race remains unknown, it is theorized that the fallen exiles of the Jedi Order came to their homeworld of Korriban and were treated as gods by this strong yet malleable people.
