The Sith Triumvirate was an alliance formed between the Sith Brotherhood, Shadow of the Sith, and Order of the Sith Lords. The Triumvirate was distinguishable from a previous organization of the same name, which operated nearly four thousand years prior. Much like the Triumvirate that was responsible for the First Jedi Purge, however, the new Sith Triumvirate was formed from these three groups with the sole purpose of eliminating their primary enemy: the Jedi Order. Combined, they began a new Jedi Purge that would sweep across the galaxy.
