The **Uprising against the Sith**, informally known as the **Great Betrayal**, or simply **Pyre’s Rebellion**, and secretly known as **The Contingency**, was a galactic power struggle set in motion upon the death of Darth Deceptious at the hands of the Grand Jedi Master Quinn Maru. The posthumous orders were given to the Allegiant General Pyre Kinall, who was tasked by the deceased Emperor to destroy both the Sith Order and the Empire indiscriminately, therein creating the **Imperial Remnant** and placing Pyre as its **Supreme Leader**, which put on the front of remaining loyal to Darth Deceptious in the wake of the Sith attempt to fight each other for succession to the throne.

In reality, the uprising was in actuality planned from the beginning as the Emperor viewed the current standard of the Sith and the Empire as weak and divided, plagued by the expectations and status quo of Vitiate’s Empire and the old Sith traditions. In his death, he intended to destroy them, root and stem, to force the Sith to evolve or go extinct, setting off a chain of events that led to the cultivation of numerous Sith doctrines and the eventual Rule of Two, ultimately opening the door to his true intentions: the establishment of the Rule of Order following the deaths of Darth Sidious and Darth Vader and the internal collapse of the Galactic Empire which remnants became the foundation for the new Sith Empire upon his declared survival and return to the galaxy at large.

The contingency led both the Sith Empire and the Imperial Remnant into a final stand, where the Galactic Republic later took advantage of the weakened state of the Sith Empire. The Empire expended much to defeat Pyre’s rebellion while the Imperial Remnant, whose defectors were manipulated into believing they were supporting the Emperor’s reign, were never intended to succeed, merely leave the Empire in a state of vulnerability. The rebellion ended upon the Battle of Arkanis, where Pyre positioned his remaining forces in a do-or-die resistance in accordance with the Contingency's order. Incurring heavy casualties upon the Imperial navy and army, the Remnant’s military was obliterated. The remaining pieces of the Crimson Armada and Legion were destroyed in battle, and the remaining Sovereign Protectors died defending the Imperial Palace. Pyre Kinall was ultimately killed in the throne room itself, where he was found speaking to the empty throne, stated to have been giving his final farewells to the Sith ruler. A chilling reminder that Pyre was ultimately loyal to the Emperor, even in death.

The aftermath of the uprising allowed the Galactic Republic to swiftly dispatch the broken Imperial military and ultimately drive the Sith back into hiding, restoring democracy throughout the galaxy. Without the Emperor, the remaining holdouts of the Empire fell and his entire legacy, children, descendants, and servants were hunted down and killed to prevent his power from being inherited by future generations.
