The New Sith Empire was founded by Darth Ruin, and was the vast area of galactic territory formed out of the Fourth Great Schism, which the Sith ruled over with an iron fist.

History

The Imperial capital was the planet Roon. At its height during the New Sith Wars, it was even greater than the old Sith Empire of Naga Sadow, Exar Kun and Darth Revan; following the Battle of Mizra and during the Republic Dark Age, it encompassed a great percentage of the known galaxy, possibly even rivaling the power once held by the Sith Empire of the Great Galactic War/Cold War era over sixteen hundred years prior.

At some point, the Sith Lord Quorlac Fornayh began attempts to place himself as the ruler of the Empire. In order to gain the necessary advantage, he began using Sith alchemy to mutate Rancors into fearsome war beasts known as Coloi. However, this long process meant that he grew old and by the time his creations were ready, the Empire was slowly defeated by the Republic. In order to survive, Fornayh left his creations in stasis and his spirit remained in existence where it waited for the opportune time to resurrect himself by transferring his essence into a clone body.

Prior to 1,042 BBY the Empire collapsed in a civil war and fragmented into smaller states led by warring self-proclaimed Sith Lords, including such states as the Chagras Hegemony. From the ashes, Lord Kaan established the Brotherhood of Darkness in 1,006 BBY.
