The Sith Eternal Fleet, also known as the Final Order, is a massive armada introduced in "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker." This fleet was created by Emperor Palpatine, who had survived the events of "Return of the Jedi" and had been in hiding on the Sith homeworld of Exegol. The fleet was a part of Palpatine's master plan to restore the Sith's dominance over the galaxy. The Sith Eternal, a cult of Sith loyalists dedicated to Palpatine, constructed these starships in secret, away from the prying eyes of the galaxy's other factions.
Comprising thousands of Xyston-class Star Destroyers, the fleet was equipped with planet-destroying superlasers, capable of annihilating worlds much like the Death Star. Each Star Destroyer was staffed by loyal Sith Eternal personnel and reinforced by legions of Sith Troopers, who were specially trained soldiers indoctrinated into the Sith cult. The fleet was intended to launch a new era of Sith rule, with Palpatine at its helm, poised to dominate the galaxy with an iron fist.
The construction of the Sith Eternal Fleet was a monumental task that required vast resources and manpower. It is suggested that the Sith Eternal utilized ancient Sith alchemy and dark side rituals to aid in the fleet's creation, making use of Exegol's unique properties and the latent dark side energy that permeated the planet. The fleet's sheer size and firepower represented an existential threat to both the Resistance and the galaxy at large, posing a significant challenge to heroes like Rey, Finn, and Poe Dameron.
Ultimately, the Sith Eternal Fleet was destroyed during the climactic Battle of Exegol. The Resistance, with the help of allies from across the galaxy, launched a daring assault to prevent the fleet from deploying and devastating whole planets. Through a combination of bravery, strategy, and the timely intervention of Lando Calrissian and his assembled fleet of reinforcements, the forces of the Sith Eternal were defeated, and their armada was annihilated. This crucial victory marked the end of Palpatine's final bid for power and the definitive defeat of the Sith, allowing the galaxy a chance to rebuild and ushering in a new era of peace.
