One conflict that has been mentioned several times in High Republic stories and the Thrawn Ascendency trilogy, is the Sith Wars. The Sith Wars was a series of ancient conflicts that embroiled the galaxy in war, pitting the Republic and Jedi Order against the evil Sith. So, what exactly were the Sith Wars? And what do we know about this conflict? I discuss everything we know about the Sith Wars in the current canon. The Sith Wars were a series of conflicts fought for control of the galaxy between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire. The Chiss Ascendancy also participated in the conflicts, and encountered a number of aliens before retreating to their borders. Cervil the Uncanny, a Jedi who fought in the conflict, left behind testimonies about members of the Jedi Order using lightwhips in order to defend against Forbidden Forms used by the Sith. The Forbidden District located on the planet Exegol housed derelict shipyard forges that dated back to the Sith Wars. The Sith Empire was the name shared by a series of empires ruled by the Sith that existed long before the Galactic Empire. The Sith Empires at various moments once controlled most of the galaxy, and often fought against the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order in a series of wars and battles, including the Great Hyperspace War, the Sith Wars, the Great Scourge of Malachor, the crusade of Krath, and other conflicts, until the last Sith Empire collapsed. The Sith continued to expand their empire erecting temples on multiple planets. One such temple was built on the world Malachor. At the heart of this temple was a superweapon powered by a giant kyber crystal. The Jedi eventually learned of the weapon and assaulted the temple. A savage battle was then waged between the Sith Empire and the invading Jedi Knights. During the battle, the temple was activated, petrifying everyone on the planet. This would result inThe Sith, also referred to as the Sith Order, was an ancient religious order of Force-wielders devoted to the dark side of the Force. Driven by their emotions, including hate, anger, and greed, the Sith were deceptive and obsessed with gaining power no matter the cost. The order reached the apex of its power under Darth Sidious, the Dark Lord of the Sith who achieved his order's goal of galactic conquest after a millennium of plotting. Within a generation, however, the death the planet being forbidden from Jedi and becoming a legend for millennia to come. The Sith numbered thousands, yet they eventually fell, and despite the Sith armada's quantitative advantage over the much smaller Ghostfinder fleet, the Sith were outmatched. The Sith's quest to gain power was ultimately their undoing, as the dark side made them turn against one another. Within a year, the Jedi managed to defeat the infighting Sith, bringing what was left of the dark order to its knees. However, one Sith, Darth Bane, survived. With his fellow Sith Lords destroyed, he reformed the order by establishing the Rule of Two, mandating that only two Sith, a master and an apprentice, could exist at any given time, lest they fall prey to infighting. To keep Bane's philosophy alive, the apprentice needed to slay their master and take on an apprentice of their own, or the master could train another apprentice and have them kill and replace their current apprentice. Bane had also initiated a revenge plot against the Jedi, called the Grand Plan. The Sith abandoned their traditional homeworld of Moraband after it was scarred by many wars. Eventually, Darth Bane was killed and was buried in the Valley of the Dark Lords on its surface, but the Rule of Two continued through his apprentice, Darth Zannah. It was rumored that Zannah had killed Bane on the Inner Rim planet of Ambria. Many Sith worlds were then quarantined, including Rhelg, Jaguada, and Ziost. Some worlds were so cleansed of their Sith history that even locals had no idea of their past.
