Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire also called by some as the New Galactic Empire, Second Galactic Empire, Sith Empire, New Order or simply Krayt's Empire, was an incarnation of the Sith Empire from the Kilo Universe, formed out of the Fel Empire in 130 ABY (), when Darth Krayt, Dark Lord of the Sith, made a coup against Emperor Roan Fel. Essentially, this government served as a revival of the Kilo variant of the Galactic Empire, and was composed of the Moff Council, which commanded the Imperial Military and agencies, such as Imperial Intelligence and the Imperial Diplomatic Corps. However, the Moffs answered to Sith Lords of Krayt, who himself became the new Emperor.
The Empire fought the Galactic Alliance Remnant and the Empire-in-exile (also called the Fel Empire) throughout the Skyriver galaxy in the Second Imperial Civil War, and later the Jedi. A major problem during the war was that many officersdefected to Fel, as Vul Isen noted, and many incompetent ones were promoted to replace them. In 138 ABY (1XXX NE), Fel's Empire, the Alliance Remnant, and the Jedi attacked Kilo Coruscant, the capital, and managed to defeat the Sith Imperial forces there, killing the Sith leadership. The One Sith's Empire was disbanded as a result, and the united forces of the Empire, Remnant, and Jedi formed the Galactic Federation Triumvirate.
The Sith, led by Darth Nihl, fled Coruscant and vowed to infiltrate every galactic government and eventually return to retake the galaxy.
The Sith Empire recovered from their wound and exile, joining forces with other Sith and dark mage factions to build a more powerful empire while spreading in secret in other universes. They became a well known (and influential) member of the Nationalist Alliance after announcing the return of Darth Krayt as one of its strongest supporters to fight against the Multiversial Federation. It tries to gain control of the Kilo Skyriver Galaxy, however, only a few, namely half of the outer rim and a few core worlds, joined the Empire and eventually expanded to the known regions of its home universe and continued their war against the galaxy, even to both Jedi and turned-Sith until the death of Darth Krayt and the Sith Empire continued to fight both the TransRace Empire and the Federal Knights during the Third Multiverse War until why were officially crippled and defeated.
History[]
Government[]
The New Empire was ruled by the Dark Lord of the Sith, who held the title of Sith Emperor, yet the Moff Councils held considerable power, and were, supposedly, his advisers. By all accounts the reign of Roan Fel was relatively benevolent compared to that of the usurper, Krayt, and had far less of the abuses of power and tyrannical excesses of the Empire under their version of Emperor Palpatine. Under Krayt's regime, however, harsh dictatorial conditions, even genocide, returned to the successor of Darth Sidious' Galactic Empire.
The Moffs managed both the Imperial Military and Imperial Intelligence, as well as other Imperial institutions such as the Imperial Mission and the Imperial Diplomatic Corps. However, with the Sith in power, Moffs, Admirals and other authorities had to follow Sith orders and answer to Krayt's Sith Lords. Thus, the Council sought to undermine some of Krayt's efforts in order to maintain its own power and influence.
The Empire also employed propaganda and media in order to promote Emperor Krayt's agenda for the Galaxy. The Massacre of the Mon Calamari Council and Darth Krayt's edict ordering the extermination and internment of the Mon Calamari was broadcast all over the galaxy. News sources also referred to the regime's enemies in an unfavorable manner. Gar Stazi was referred to as a pirate while Cade Skywalker was labeled a terrorist.
