- Around the same time, the power-hungry Jedi Exar Kun searches for Sith teachings and discovers the spirit of Freedon Nadd on Onderon's moon Dxun, where he is trained in the ways of the dark side before heading to Yavin 4 to acquire more power. Kun ultimately kills Nadd's spirit and seeks out Ulic Qel-Droma to eliminate a potential rival.
- Nomi Sunrider organizes a second rescue mission at the same time that Kun arrives on Empress Teta, and Kun and Qel-Droma clash in a duel. However, the duel is ended by the spirit of Marka Ragnos, who anoints Kun and Qel-Droma as Dark Lords of the Sith as well as Master and apprentice. Joining forces with Kun, Qel-Droma refuses Sunrider's attempt at a rescue, and the two Sith form the Brotherhood of the Sith.
______________________________________________________________________________________________3 996 BBY

The Padawan Zayne Carrick arrives late and escapes with the con man Marn Hierogryph, but is framed for the Massacre. Carrick escapes from the Jedi Tower after his capture, and his escape sparks rioting and mass panic across Taris as the public loses faith in the Jedi.

- The battle, and the Mandalorian Wars as a whole, is brought to end when Revan's lieutenant, the Jedi Meetra Surik, activates the Mass Shadow Generator on Revan's orders and destroys the Mandalorian fleets along with a large number of Republic forces and Jedi. After witnessing the devastation caused by the weapon and feeling and the deaths through the Force, Surik severs her connection to the Force.
- From the dying Mandalore, Revan discovered the Mandalorians had been influenced by the Sith, and his search for answers led to his and Malak's corruption at the hands of the Sith Emperor.
- Revan and Malak depart into the Unknown Regions with a third of the Republic fleet, though they travel alone to follow Mandalore's instructions to Rekkiad. There, they discover the tomb of Dramath the Second, and Revan leaves Mandalore's Mask in the tomb before they leave for Nathema.
- After witnessing the devastation on Nathema, Revan and Malak follow the Sith survivors to Dromund Kaas. After months of posing undercover as mercenaries, they are lured into a trap where they are mentally dominated by the Sith Emperor and turned to the dark side of the Force. As Dark Lords of the Sith, they are ordered to locate the Rakatan space station known as the Star Forge.

The Jedi Enclave on Dantooine was believed to have been sufficiently fortified and too well-defended to invite an attack by the marauding Sith in that era; Malak and commander of Sith forces Saul Karath proved the Jedi Masters there wrong by conducting a highly effective bombardment of the planet's surface, destroying the Enclave and killing a number of high-ranking Jedi. Afterwards, a brutal large-scale subjugation of Dantooine's population was carried out, lasting for several years.
- At the Battle of Rakata Prime, Revan kills Malak in a lightsaber duel, and the Republic Fleet destroys the Star Forge.
- End of the Jedi Civil War.
- The Sith Civil War begins.
______________________________________________________________________________________________3 955 BBY
- The defeat of Darth Malak had left a vacuum, and power struggles ensued resulting in the quickly escalating Sith Civil War. The Sith remnant fractured the remaining strongholds of the Sith Empire into smaller territories. Declaring themselves sovereign warlords, they began to make war on each other with the goal of gaining or retaining whatever power they had. On Korriban, however, the destruction of the Sith Academy resulted in an insurrection there. The warring Sith massacred each other and the planet was left barren and lifeless.
- Even though the Republic had defeated Darth Malak's Sith Empire at the Battle of Rakata Prime in 3956 BBY, the effects were far-flung. Worlds, such as Telos and Taris, had been destroyed through orbital bombardment; trade routes and infrastructure had been disrupted or destroyed which allowed for various Hutt Cartels or criminal organizations such as the Exchange to manipulate markets and hoard goods; in addition, the military which defended the Republic was on the verge of collapse. Similarly, the Jedi Order was in disarray from having lost many members through defection and battle.
- The Sith Triumvirate is formed.
- In the wake of the Jedi Civil War, Supreme Chancellor Tol Cressa launched reconstruction initiatives which began with the Telosian Restoration Project, a planet-wide terraforming project to make the world habitable. To facilitate in the rebuilding efforts, the company Aratech launched a series of G0-T0 droids. These black, spherical droids were designed to facilitate in planetary administration with safeguards in their programming which limited the droids to acting within the bounds of Republic law. The first problem arose, however, with the droid assigned to Telos. The automaton found it impossible to act in the best interests of the Republic and remain within the boundaries of Republic law. Breaking free of its programming, the droid began to act illegally, all in an effort, however, of stabilizing the Republic and its reconstruction initiatives.

- The Onderon Civil War. It was a dynastic conflict. The war occurred when General Vaklu organized a confederation known as the Onderon separatists in Iziz that resisted Galactic Republic rule in the sector. The separatists were intent on overthrowing Queen Talia, loyal to the Republic, and having Onderon secede from the Galactic Republic. The Onderon Royalists consisting of loyal citizens of Iziz, remaining fragments of the Galactic Republic, and the Mandalorians brought the city under control and stabilized Republic control over the sector.

- In this year, the exiled scientist Sannus Lorrick caused an outbreak of the rakghoul plague in the Tion Hegemony. A number of worlds were overtaken by the plague before quarantine measures were instituted, and the planet Kaon was the fifth world to be overtaken by rakghouls. The plague was eventually tracked back to Lorrick's lab on Ord Mantell, where he was killed, but not before the passenger liner Stardream was infected by Lorrick's efforts; the liner crashed on Tatooine and caused a galaxy-wide crisis.
- The Sith Emperor attempted to perform a dark side ritual that would allow him to consume the life force of the entire galaxy, and he sent his agents out across the galaxy in order to take advantage of the chaos and perform the sacrifice necessary to start the ritual. However, the Emperor was opposed by the Jedi Knight known as the Hero of Tython, who had broken free of the Emperor's mental control and joined forces with the former Emperor's Wrath Lord Scourge after the Sith revealed the Emperor's plans. With aid from the rest of the Jedi Order, the Republic Military, and the Hero's own crew, the Knight foiled the Emperor's agents on Belsavis, Voss, and Corellia, freeing the other Jedi under the Emperor's control in the process. After learning of the Emperor's location on the Imperial capital of Dromund Kaas, the Hero infiltrated the Dark Temple on the planet while the Republic fleet engaged the Imperial Navy above the Dromund Kaas, and in a final battle the Knight managed to strike down the Sith ruler and seemingly end the threat he posed to the galaxy.
- Darth Malgus declares the formation of the New Empire on Ilum. This prompts the Republic and Empire to temporarily put aside their differences and work together to defeat Malgus. He was eventually defeated.

- The Hutt Cartel, under the leadership of Supreme Mogul Toborro, invades the neutral world of Makeb in order to harvest the isotope-5 in the planet's core. The Republic lends the people of Makeb aid, while the weakened Empire undertakes a cover mission to secure isotope-5 reserves for themselves. The Empire manages to stabilize Makeb's core as it begins to tear the planet apart, saving the planet from complete destruction. In the end, the Hutt's plan failed and the Cartel allied itself to the Republic.
- The Dread Masters are finally eliminated on the moon of Oricon.
- The Order of Revan, previously believed to be a minor cult in the Empire, emerges as a major galaxy-wide threat, believed to be under the leadership of Revan himself.
- The Order of Revan and their Nova Blades pirate allies manipulated the two galactic powers into shifting their patrol routes and eventually forced a confrontation above Rishi, where Revan hoped to wipe out both fleets using a Revanite fleet and Revanite saboteurs aboard the opposing fleets. The Nova Blades set up a signal jammer on the planet, cutting off all unauthorized transmissions from the planet to the fleets once they entered orbit. However, a small team of Imperial and Republic agents disabled the Revanites' signal jammer on Rishi and managed to warn the two fleets, allowing both factions to capture the saboteurs in their ranks and bring the fighting to an end. The Imperial fleet's commander, Darth Marr, agreed to meet with the anti-Revanite group on the surface; as did the Republic fleet's leader, Theron Shan's estranged mother and Grand Master of the Jedi Order, Satele Shan. At the monumental summit, the warring leaders were made to understand that the Revanite threat had nearly destroyed them all through deception. Worse still, Darth Marr revealed that Revan's mission was not a mere flight of fancy—that the former Sith Emperor, Vitiate, was still alive in an incorporeal form. While in captivity, Theron Shan learned that Revan's endgame was to restore Vitiate's incorporeal form to a physical body, in order to slay the ancient evil forever. Similarly, the former Sith Emperor planned to be restored to a body in order that he could continue toward his original goal of draining all life in the galaxy. The Republic and Jedi found themselves facing the possibility of a returned Sith Emperor, as well as a deranged rogue Jedi threatening all in the galaxy. The Empire and Sith were seriously concerned about the return of an Emperor whose goal was their own destruction. Under these circumstances, the two groups pledged to work together and pursue Revan and his followers to a final showdown on the distant moon Yavin 4.
- Not long later, the combined Republic/Imperial task force established a base camp on the jungle moon. A command center was established in the vicinity of the Revanites at which Satele Shan, Darth Marr, Theron Shan, and Lana Beniko could coordinate their forces against Revan and his followers. The alliance was uneasy. Scouts from both sides distrusted the other to a degree which made establishing a camp perimeter difficult. It was revealed that a device capable of mass ritual sacrifice was contained within the temple that the Revanites were using as a base of operations—precisely the kind of device necessary for jump-starting Vitiate's return to corporeal form. Despite the impending danger and the dark side energies of the moon, both Satele Shan and Darth Marr continued to feel a vastly powerful light-side presence in the Force, which they were both at a loss to explain. While in the field on a mission to destroy the ritual device, alliance forces made a startling contact: the Force ghost of a supremely serene Revan. This Revan revealed that the events on the Foundry had fractured his psyche into light and dark halves; that his light spirit was ready to move on from the tangible world, leaving only darkness and anger in his physical body—the dark Revan responsible for the situation on Yavin.
- The alliance forces finally collectively banded together to face down the dark Revan. As they stood victorious over the beaten man, the unexpected occurred: the booming voice of Vitiate, former Sith Emperor, began to speak. After taunting Revan that his private war had only served to feed Vitiate's strength, his spirit burst from the top of the temple. Vitiate, former Sith Emperor and one of the most powerful Sith in history, was once again at large. Both the forces of Republic and Empire fought the Sith Emperor once again, finally defeating him after a lengthy battle, though the cost of the victory was high, as many Jedi, Sith and soldiers had died that day (notably Satele Shan, Darth Marr and Jace Malcom). But this death of Emperor Vitiate was final, and the horrors of war could come to an end.
- Utterly beaten, the dark Revan merged with his light side spirit. Whole and at peace once more, Revan finally chose to move on, leaving no worldly remains.
- With the Revanite crisis resolved and Sith Emperor defeated, the Republic and Imperial alliance mutually agreed to dissolve their partnership, opening a window for truce and end to a long and bloody war.
