Sith Wars

The Sith Wars refer to several conflicts involving the Sith, an ancient order devoted to the Dark Side of The Force, as depicted in the Star Wars universe. The wars spanned many centuries and were primarily fought against the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic. They were instrumental in the continuously changing dynamics of power in the galaxy and significantly influenced the course of Star Wars history.

The first recorded Sith War, known as the Great Hyperspace War, occurred approximately 5000 years Before The Battle of Yavin (BBY). This was spurred by the Sith Empire's intention to expand, which led to a confrontation with the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic. Despite the Sith Empire being initially successful, the war ended in their defeat.

Four thousand years later, the "Great Sith War" broke out, led by Exar Kun and Ulic Qel-Droma against the Republic and the Jedi. The war inflicted massive damage, but ultimately resulted in a major defeat for the Sith, with Kun's spirit being trapped on Yavin IV and Qel-Droma redeemed by the Jedi.

Then came the Mandalorian Wars, a series of conflicts between the Mandalorians, supported by the Sith, and the Galactic Republic, defended by the Jedi. Followed by this was the Jedi Civil War where the infamous Darth Revan and Darth Malak turned against the Republic.

The last Sith War was the Great Galactic War, which started approximately 3681 years BBY. Fought between the Sith Empire, now under the leadership of Emperor Vitiate, and the Galactic Republic, this war ended with the Treaty of Coruscant, but not before causing major upheavals and devastating the galaxy.

In all the Sith Wars, the central theme was the battle between the Dark Side and the Light Side of the Force, represented by the Sith and the Jedi, respectively. These wars caused massive devastation and loss but also led to periods of relative peace, marking key milestones in the history of the Star Wars universe.
