| - With the Empire on the brink of collapse and their leader dead at the hands of Cade Skywalker, Darth Krayt's secret apprentice Darth Malphas came out of the shadows to finally put his plans into action and convinced Darth Nihl to call every known surviving Sith Lord on Wylok, thousands came to answer the new Dark Lord of the Sith. Darth Malphas had them where he wanted and killed Darth Nihl and the rest of the sith. He went on to perform a powerful Sith ritual and drained all of the power of the Kaiburr crystal into himself, granting him unimaginable power. He betrayed the sith to established his own order, now a very powerful and cunning Dark Lord, he ceased to be Darth Malphas and proclaimed himself Emperor of his people. The Emperor was able to blame the destruction of all of the sith lords on the Jedi, frightening the remaining Sith, and then offering them a glimpse of hope, promising to take all those who pledge their loyalty to him to a safe world where the Jedi could never find them. While under the apprenticeship of his master, Malphas had his scientists and historians secretly search for the location of his secret homeworld of Balstros. The group Malphas assigned to locate Balstros operated in secrecy, hidden day and night in a lab while they studied ancient star maps and astrogation charts, finally theorizing a hyperspace route to the world, they left the known Galaxy behind to start over. The Emperor purposely wondered the galaxy with his people on random hyperspace routes trying to escape the Jedis grasp. He did not go straight to Balstros, rather he took them on a long and trying exodus where the Sith were repeatedly forced to turn to him for leadership, thus increasing their dependence on him to the point when they finally reached Balstros, they basically worshiped their Emperor as their savior. Over the years the Emperors influence spread and conquered thousands of worlds in the unknown systems by brute force or where some willingly submitted to the dark lord out of fear. During his reign he discovered Immortality and for over thousand years of hiding and rebuilding, the Emperor finally prepared for his return to the known galaxy, the Sith waged war against the Union. Led by their mysterious Emperor for the first time in centuries, the galaxy plunged into war lasting twenty four years. With the sith not wanting to be defeated again, the Empire struck with the almight armada and pushed the Galactic Military out of Imperial Space. The Sith starting conquering the Outer Rim and Wild Space, battle after battle the Sith were on the bring of victory with the help of the Emperor's Battle meditation. The Republic however struck back and pushed the Empire from conquering the Core Worlds, both taken heavy casualties in the war and at a stalemate. The Emperor by this point had grown impatient as he had expected his victory to had been achieved quickly and changed his tactics. The Emperor dispatched his secret assassins to kill important jedi who used their combined powerful Battle meditation that stopped his own meditation from helping Empire from winning the war. The jedi on the verge of extincton, desperately searching for the Siths ruler knowing that with the emperor dead the Empire would be in disarray without their precious leader. The Emperor in a secret location and was nowhere to be found and with the Republic angry at the Jedi for their defeat in the war offered the Sith Empire a peace treaty. The Empire took advantage of the situation, with the Republic handing over star systems to the Empire and with the union blaming the Jedi for their heavy losses and countless lives lost, they dissolved the Jedi Order and branded them enemies. The Emperor pleased that the Jedi are no more and signed the treaty as long as the Republic banished the jedi forever. The Emperor now ruled most of the galaxy and with the Republic in their weakened state and their people losing faith in the Republic, it was a matter of time before the rest of the galaxy would be willingly to join the Empire. The Jedi however retreated from the public eyes and scattered across the galaxy, some abandoned the order out of shame and some secretly gathered and started to rebuild its order somewhere unknown from the Empire. The Emperor was not willing to let them regain their strength and threat his rule, so he used his spies to hunt them down and destroy them once and for all, no matter what the cost. With his Empire now more stronger than ever, the Lord Emperor who led the Empire during the Dark Galactic War, ruled most of the galaxy. By the end of the war, he was well over 1,500 years old.
