Second Reborn Sith Empire

The Second Reborn Sith Empire was the galactic government that was to restore the First Reborn Sith Empire after its fall. Like its predecessor, their goal was to have the Sith return to their galactic dominance; which eventually became successful within forty years of its establishment. The Empire's plans were executed slowly, utilising much of their power asserted to crush their enemies and repress all that came in their way; eventually leading to their dominance over a wide-spanning region of the galaxy, spanning from the Corporate Sector of Bonadan to the southern Outer Rim worlds such as Rishi and Tatooine.

## History

### Origins

After the fall of the First Reborn Sith Empire, many of its Sith began a mass exodus from the Sith worlds into the Unknown Regions to continue their teachings. In addition, with the bureaucrats and military personnel of the Empire split paths from one another; either joining the recovering New Republic or taking their own independence on their own careers. However, only few chose to preserve their old imperial ideals and spread them. Such example was Riel Grann, who complied to reconstructing the old Empire's military through conscription; in addition, he took on the career of restoring the whole Empire.

### Developing a new Empire

Few knew of Grann's ideals and schemes. As creating the Imperial Army, he established the Miner's Brigade, a small military division with the purpose of cultivating resources for the Imperial Navy, building the first ships and destroyers.

In the first years of the rapidly growing ranks of the Imperial Military, Grann ordered his army to colonise the last of the Sith worlds fallen from the Reborn Sith Empire. However, shortly after the occupation, Grann's army was met by a reconstituted force of Yuuzhan Vong. With the superior technology of the Empire, Grann's soldiers took the capability of decimating the Vong in a matter of six days.

### Early years and the Great Galactic War

Emperor Daligon rose to prominence quickly as he returned to the Sith as their Dark Lord, he took notice of Riel Grann's remarkable development and dedication into developing the Imperial Military. Thus under the agreement of Emperor Daligon, Darth Decayus, and Riel Grann, all three established the Second Reborn Sith Empire.

Following the next four years, Daligon's new empire expanded into the far reaches of the northern Outer Rim thus began their expansion into the Mid Rim expanse. However, in the midst of an expansionist period, they were quickly discovered by the Galactic Federation with reports from their intelligence outposts.

Furthermore, in reaction to the Sith Empire's return, the Federation declared war on the Sith Empire. Thus began the Great Galactic War between the two governments. Battles took place from the Outer Rim and Mid Rims fronts to the Empire beginning their occupation into the Core Worlds.

### Kraken Invasion and the rise of Emperor Decayus

Fifteen years into the war, a race of mysterious origin began conquering the galaxy with full force. Both the Federation and the Empire ending their war in a stalemate to combat against the newer threat known by the name of the Krakens. Occasionally, both governments established joint coalitions and joint military units through diplomacy in order to stop the Krakens from a full galactic takeover.

Three years into the Kraken's barbaric expansion, Emperor Daligon commenced a ritual in order to eliminate the entirety of the Kraken armada on Korriban. This ritual turned successful; however, shortly after the ritual, Emperor Daligon fled Korriban as a wounded Darth Decayus filled in the Emperor's position. Now he was the Emperor.

## Government and Politics

### Central Authority

At the head of the Empire sat the Sith Emperor, who held absolute power. The Dark Council served as his advisory board. In addition, the Dark Council included the Sith Overlord as the de-jure head of government and the Emperor's Wrath as the Empire's commander-in-chief.

Imperial rule was authoritarian, there was little to no freedom of speech; dissidents who gone against Imperial rule were punished harshly by Imperial law. According to the Rossi Doctrine, this was because the Empire believed in celebration of one ruler, supreme rule of the Sith, a codex of law, one common language, and progressive education. This was in addition to ensuring the unity between the Sith and the Imperial people.

### Executive Branch

While the Dark Council was invested within all branches of government, the Empire included few subsidiaries within their branches. The de facto Executive Branch consisted of the Office of the Emperor, which was the institution and position of the Sith Emperor himself, including his advisors, staff, and government organisations subordinate to the Emperor himself, such as that of the Council of Moffs.

### Legislative Branch

The de facto legislative branch of the Reborn Sith Empire was the Imperial Senate. It was responsible for establishing the laws of the Imperial Codex and ensuring the stability of Imperial power structure by co-opting potential competing interests within the Imperial Government and their Sith overlords that ruled over them. The Senate was run by the Chancellor of the Imperial Senate, with his subordinates being that of the Grand Vizier and the Vice Chair of the Senate.

Unlike the Galactic Republic or the Galactic Empire's senatorial legislatures, due to the Empire's strictly enforced Human Supremacist laws, the Imperial Senate was composed entirely of human congressmen each from their own member worlds, most having been elected directly by the Senate themselves.

### Judicial Branch

The Supreme Court was the de facto Judicial Branch of the Reborn Sith Empire. The Court composed of twelve Justices, with one Chief Justice serving as the head of the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court of the Empire was divided into Sector Courts and Planetary Courts, which all ultimately reported to the Sphere of Laws and Justice.

## Economy

Imperial economy was overseen by the Ministry of Production and Logistics. Throughout the Reborn Sith Empire's existence, it managed to maintain a stable economic structure. In addition, in order to maintain Imperial unity, it was required by all Imperial citizens to use only one form of currency throughout Imperial territory - the Imperial credit.

Much of the Empire's economy was invested within the Imperial Military. The Empire spent quadrillions, if not quintillions of credits on the spending of scientific developments and discoveries within a wide variety of fields and including the spending of resources on Imperial supplies such as building and cultivating resources for the Imperial Navy's ships. This military buildup resulted in the Reborn Sith Empire amassing among the largest militaries in galactic history, employing trillions of soldiers and fielding millions of ships.

All Imperial working citizens were required to pay income taxes, which were ultimately collected by the Imperial Taxation Bureau. However, due to Humanocentric laws, non-humans and those who were not Imperial citizens were required to pay higher income taxes than humans.

## Society and culture

Imperial culture was ascetic and was highly revolved around the belief that the Sith were the supreme rulers of the galaxy, and the Imperial cause was deemed a righteous one.

### Slavery

Slavery was a common practice handed down from the traditions of the old Sith Empire. However, the treatment of slaves as chattel was outlawed. Instead, many slaves were used for the benefits of their own masters, such as cultivating resources for the Empire, even some slaves were drafted into the ranks of the Imperial Military, Intelligence, and Security. Although slavery was legal, slave ownership among aliens was illegal, in addition to owning human or Sith pureblood slaves was also forbidden by Imperial law.

Slaves who were found force sensitive were to be freed and trained in the ways of the Sith at the academy of Korriban or Dromund Kaas.

### Arts and Media

Most media under the Reborn Sith Empire was state-controlled. Much of it was run strictly by the Imperial government, as most of it was didactic. In addition, the Empire was not brutal in the suppression of artistic culture, as the Empire was primarily invested in the military and political dominance.

Policies on propaganda was strictly enforced by the Propaganda Bureau, a division of the Ministry of Production and Logistics. Propaganda could only be distributed by the approval of the Propaganda Bureau. All Imperial media was verified, reviewed and censored by the Imperial Board of Culture.

The official sport of the Reborn Sith Empire was shockball, it was favoured among members of the Imperial military as a recreational sport. The official shockball team were the Imperial Royals.

### Religion

The Empire had little to no freedom of religion whatsoever. Anti-Jediism was a government policy enacted by the Sith Emperor in order to prevent an increase of Jedi. However, those who were found force sensitive were to be trained in the ways of the Sith. Those found personally by the Emperor were taken into the Emperor's Hand to serve in his power base as his personal agents.

### Xenophobia

The Empire emphasised Humanocentrism, and in addition created the ideology of Sithocentrism; where both the Human and Sith species were considered inherently superior to any other race. Furthermore, any other species were considered as non-human and alien in the Empire. Among the most enforced laws within the Imperial Codex were the Atrisian Laws; a doctrine of speciesist laws.

As a result of the Empire's speciesist policies, many Imperial cities were segregated and divided into human neighbourhoods and alien neighbourhoods. One example of this was Nar Shaddaa's sectors, where during the Reborn Sith Empire's conquest of the moon, the administrative sectors of the planet were reorganised into sectors reserved for humans and aliens.

In addition to Imperial xenophobia, it was not a rare practice for the Empire to commit genocidal campaigns and massacres against alien species. Such as the Pau'an genocide. Additionally, droids were not considered as citizens. Where slavery among droids became legalised, they were eventually used for the advantages of their masters.

## Military

*Main article: Imperial Military*

The Imperial Military were the armed forces of the Second Reborn Sith Empire. It was the backbone of Imperial society as it epitomised the Reborn Sith Empires' true strength with their sheer military power. It was responsible for carrying out military operations to maintaining Imperial order on Imperial worlds, governorships, colonies, and protectorates.

The Imperial Military was among the largest government organisations in the Empire, making up the majority of it as it was ruled over by the most powerful Sith Lords. The military produced an army of trillions of troops along with a navy of millions of ships.

The Imperial Military was under direct control of the Emperor's Wrath and the Sphere of the Imperial Military, whose sphere of influence ruled over the military itself as the Commander-in-chief. Under the Wrath was the Imperial High Command, consisting of the Circles of Twelve Grand Generals and Admirals along with the Marine Commandant, Stormtrooper Marshal, and the Directors of Imperial Intelligence, and Imperial Security.

The Imperial Military was not just a physical fighting force, but also a psychological fighting force. The Emperor's military powerbase, consisting of a full Regional Command based primarily within the Northeastern quadrant of the galaxy, aspired fear within the hearts of any sentient species. The Empire's covert superweapons were designed to impose the true might of the Emperor. As the Emperor's war mechanisms, such as that of the All Terrain Destruction Mechanism was a towering harrowing war behemoth of the Reborn Sith Empires; one of the few examples of the Empire's true physical and mental military power.

## Science and Technology

Scientific and technological research was overseen and run by the Department of Imperial Research and Development, which reported to the Sphere of Experimental Science.

Most projects and research however, was clandestine and secret within the organisations closest to the development-oriented spheres. Most projects revolved around superweapon and military development projects in addition to biological warfare technology. These projects were only known by the Dark Council unless it was disclosed to the public.

Some projects also developed new biologically engineered soldiers, and even that of biological species designed solely for warfare.

## Astrography

The Empire was destined for conquest through Sith rule. At its peak it held nearly the entire galaxy. However, it was subject to many enemies from all around its borders.

Most of the territories of the Empire were taken during times of war, the most notable growth in territory was the First Imperial Expansion - where the Reborn Sith Empire successfully conquered the remnants of the fragmented and partitioned Galactic Federation.
