New Sith Wars
this was the term used by historians to represent the history of the galaxy from 2000 to 1000 years before the Battle of Yavin. The alliance of Sith known as the Brotherhood of Darkness rose to power during this time, but the Sith culture was marred by infighting and backstabbing among its members. Although the Sith of this period managed to take many worlds from the Old Republic, the lust of its members was unsatisfied. Each Sith Lord wanted more power and control, and the violence within the ranks was as vicious as it was against the Republic. Ultimately, the era of the New Sith Wars came to an end with the Battle of Ruusan, when the Brotherhood of Darkness was finally defeated. Also during this time, the Mandalorian Mercs were able to recruit an endless supply of soldiers for their seemingly endless campaigns of violence and pillaging. The Mandalorians of this time once again pledged their support for the Sith, and fought alongside them in many battles against the Old Republic.
