RULERS
GALACTIC EMPIRE
Sate Pestage (Human male from Ciutric IV); a former aide to Palpatine, Sate Pestage was Grand Vizier of the Galactic Empire up until the Emperor's death, following which Pestage became ruler of the Empire on Coruscant, although many Moffs and Grand Moffs self-proclaimed themselves as rulers or warlords. Pestage's reign was short lived, for most of his advisors turned against him and he was forced to make a deal with the New Republic to protect him. When the Republic did not satisfy his needs, Pestage retreated to his homeworld of Ciutric IV, where he was killed by Imperial Admiral Delak Krennel.
Ysanne Isard (Human female from Coruscant); Director of Imperial Intelligence, Ysanne Isard declared her own faction against Sate Pestage, who had proclaimed himself acting Emperor. Isard orchestrated a complicated series of events that saw to the collapse of Pestage's advisory council and the death of Pestage himself. Isard then briefly took over the remnants of the Empire but was quickly defeated.
Mitth'raw'nuruodo 'Thrawn' (Chiss male from Csila); the last of the Grand Admirals appointed by Emperor Palpatine, Mitth'raw'nuruodo, simply known by his core name Thrawn, became Supreme Commander of the Imperial Army following Darth Vader's death, although it is unlikely Pestage and Isard recognized him as such, or that they planned on leaving him in command. After both of them fell, Thrawn took over the last remnants of the Empire and retreated to the Deep Core.
There, on the planet of Byss, Thrawn awakened the clone Darth Sidious, who formed the Dark Empire. Sidious officially made Thrawn Supreme Commander, and the Chiss Grand Admiral would lead a short but devastating campaign on the New Republic in 9 ABY. A year later, Sidious placed Thrawn in command of a strike force poised to invade Coruscant. The attack was brief though, for Thrawn realized that the Emperor was planning on getting rid of him, and so he ordered a retreat for the Unknown Regions.
Thrawn and his forces eventually reached Dromund Kaas, where Darth Vorath's secret empire awaited them. Thrawn decided to join the empire, unaware that it was ruled by a Sith Lord. In 25 ABY, days before the Imperial Sith War began, Thrawn was attacked by the Sith Lord Darth Nemesis, who was sent to rid of anyone deemed unworthy of Vorath's empire. Thrawn, however, did not give Nemesis the satisfaction of killing him, and so seemingly committed suicide by throwing a thermal detonator right in his own apartment.
DARK EMPIRE
Darth Sidious II (Human male clone from Byss); created by Finis Valorum (disguised as the scientist Atha Prime) in order to root out and destroy those still loyal to the original Emperor Palpatine, Darth Sidious was first discovered by Grand Admiral Thrawn in 6 ABY, and Sidious reformed the remnants of the old Empire into the old Empire. For the next few years, Sidious would launch a long campaign against the Republic, though it wouldn't be until 10 ABY that he revealed himself to the known galaxy. In 11 ABY, Sidious completed a project that the original Palpatine failed to finish; the Blue Harvest Project, which resulted in the Galaxy Gun. The clone Emperor used the superweapon on the planet of Empress Teta, which was simply a test so that Darth Vorath could use the weapon in his planned attack. After the victory at Empress Teta, Sidious was considered to be no longer needed, and he was killed by Atha Prime. His death was then leaked through the HoloNet, and the Dark Empire officially conceded, ending the Galactic Civil War.
Darius Onneir (Human male from Bastion); a strong supporter of Emperor Palpatine, Darius Onneir was Moff of the Braxant sector under Grand Moff Disra, although he was unofficially given complete control over the sector after Disra sided with the warlord Trioculus and was subsequently arrested. After Darth Sidious' death, Onneir was elected leader of the Dark Empire's remnant, and he took the rest of the Empire to Bastion. Fourteen years later, Senator Leia Organa Solo was sent to negotiate a peace treaty with the remnant, to which Onneir arrogantly declined. At that moment, Darth Ravage and many other Sith Lords attacked them and killed Onneir, as well as everyone else in the Dark Empire remnant, although Admiral Klev managed to escape.
CRIMSON EMPIRE
Espaa Valorum (Human male from Dromund Kaas); the son of Finis Valorum, Espaa was raised by the Prophets of the Dark Side and later made de jure ruler of Darth Vorath's 'Crimson' Empire, although Espaa was unaware of Vorath. When Thrawn's forces arrived on Dromund Kaas, Espaa convinced them to join the Crimson Empire, giving Vorath's the army he needed. Fourteen years later, after capturing Han, Leia, and their friends, Espaa Valorum was killed by Darth Vorath, who no longer needed him.
Darth Vorath (Human male from Coruscant); an ancient Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vorath personally orchestrated the years of the Galactic Civil War following Emperor Palpatine's death. In 25 ABY, once everything was set, he unleashed an attack on the New Republic, starting the Imperial Sith War. During the climatic battle on Coruscant, Vorath dueled with Luke Skywalker and Toah Jarsan and was killed, ending the war and his empire. For more information, see the next post.
MEMBERS
Gilad Pellaeon (Human male from Corellia, raised on Coruscant); a
captain in the Old Republic Navy, Gilad Pellaeon became captain of the Chimaera in
the Empire and served under Grand Admiral Thrawn. Pellaeon would later
serve in the Dark Empire and the Sith Empire, and eventually became an
admiral in the latter. During the Battle of Coruscant at the end of the
Imperial Sith War, Pellaeon realized that the galaxy would never be at
peace under any empire, and thus ordered his fleet and many others to
defect, giving the New Republic the upper hand they needed in winning
the battle. Afterwards, Pellaeon became Head of State of the Imperial
Remnant and member of the First Galactic Alliance Triumvirate.
Titus Klev (Human male from Alsakan); son of Clone Wars veteran Vintus Klev, Titus Klev was a commander in the Imperial Army. He was among Thrawn's forces when they retreated to the Deep Core and joined under the clone Darth Sidious. In the Dark Empire, Klev was promoted to admiral and was put in command of Sidious' flagship, the Eclipse. At first, Klev was loyal to Sidious, but following the destruction of Empress Teta, he began to lost trust in the Emperor. After Sidious' death, Klev and the rest of the Dark Empire followed Darius Onneir to Bastion. When Darth Ravage and the Sith began killing everyone in the empire, Klev fled the scene and stole the Millennium Falcon, fleeing to Nar Shaddaa. There he sold the ship to Raj Braven and believed that he was safe on Nar Shaddaa. However, the Sith placed a bounty on his head, and Klev was soon killed by the mercenary group the Snatchers.
Nil Nihan (Human male from Saarn, raised on Coruscant); born to a couple who crash-landed on Saarn, Nil Nihan was found by the Empire and taken to Coruscant, where he was raised by a rich family. As an adult, Nihan quickly rose in power, eventually becoming a Grand Moff and governor of the Esstran sector. After Emperor Palpatine's death, Nihan was put in charge of the fleet consisting of the Vengeance. Along with the rest of Thrawn's forces, Nihan went to Dromund Kaas and eventually joined Darth Vorath's Sith Empire. Nihan was later killed by Darth Scythe when he was caught sneaking into the Twi'lek Sith Lord's library.
Viic Argen (Human male from Anaxes); a former captain in the Old Republic, Viic Argen was promoted to admiral at some point and put in charge of the Vengeance and its fleet, although he later began answering to Grand Moff Nihan following the Battle of Endor. Under the Dark Empire, Admiral Argen was tasked with leading an attack on Had Abbadon. Days later, during the Empire's brief attack on Coruscant, Argen refused to comply with Thrawn's order to retreat, and was thus fired upon by Admiral Kan-Rann.
Kan-Rann (Human male); an admiral in the Imperial Navy, Kan-Rann was commander of the Tyrant II, after the original was captured by the New Republic. He took part in the Dark Empire's attack on Coruscant, and was ordered to destroy Admiral Argen's ship when the latter did not comply with Thrawn's order for a retreat. Kan-Rann then joined Darth Vorath's Sith Empire, serving under Darth Mordus. After the empire's failure at Dantooine, Vorath tracked down Mordus and Kan-Rann, who had abandoned the rest of the fleet, and killed them.
Korus (Human male from Coruscant); an Imperial admiral, Korus was commander of the Twilight and served under Grand Admiral Thrawn, although he often disagreed with the Chiss' tactics. He would go on to serve in the Dark Empire and the Sith Empire. During the Battle of Coruscant, the Twilight was brought down by Rogue Squadron and Korus was killed.
Evor (Human male from Axxila); an Imperial admiral, Evor was commander of the Imperious in the Dark Empire's army. He and his fleet took part in the Battle of Empress Teta, during which Darth Sidious unleashed the Galaxy Gun, destroying not only the planet, but Evor and his fleet as well.
Martok Zel (Human male); an admiral in the Imperial Navy, Martok Zel was commander of the Eradicator and served under Darth Scythe in the Sith Empire. He led his fleet in the Battle of Dantooine and later took part in the Battle of Coruscant. Due to his dislike of Scythe and the other Sith, it is likely Admiral Zel joined Admiral Pellaeon and defected from the Sith Empire.
Aay Zavos (Human male); in the Imperial Navy of Palpatine's Empire, Aay Zavos was captain of the Vendetta and eventually joined the Sith Empire, becoming an admiral and commander of Darth Vorath's flagship, the Apocalypse. He was tasked with leading the full-scale attack on Coruscant. During the battle, he was appalled by Pellaeon's betrayal and was too stunned to do anything, simply giving up and allow the combined enemy forces destroy him and the ship.
Kirus (Human male); an Imperial captain, Kirus served under Admiral Argen as his right-hand man and was captain of the Vengeance. During the Dark Empire's attack on Coruscant, Kirus wanted to comply with Thrawn's order to retreat but Argen forbade him. As such, Kirus was killed when the Vengeance was destroyed.
Skem (Human male); a captain in the Sith Empire's army, Skem served under Admiral Martok Zel and was captain of the Eradicator. It is likely he defected from the Sith.
Lean (Human male); serving under Admrial Martok Zel in the Sith Empire, Lean was a commander who fought in the Battle of Dantooine. It is unknown if he defected from the Sith or not.

Lumiya (Human female from Coruscant); born during the Galactic Empire's reign, Shira Elan Colla Brie was a Dark Jedi trained by Darth Vader to serve as an assassin for Emperor Palpatine. She was placed as a spy in the Rebel Alliance and flew alongside Luke Skywalker, who later shot her fighter down because of a message through the Force. Brie was recovered by Darth Vader, who placed her in a semi-mechanical suit. After the Battle of Endor, Shira Brie, taking on the name Lumiya, was recruited by Atha Prime to 'serve' under the clone Darth Sidious. After the Dark Empire's collapse, Lumiya, her apprentice Flint, and Sidious' seven Dark Jedi retreated to Vjun. A year later, Sedriss decided to turn on Lumiya and attempted to assassinate her. However, Sedriss was no match for her and he was soon killed. Years later, after finding a new apprentice, Lumiya traveled to Darth Vorath's former hideout world and killed Darth Ravage, declaring herself the new Dark Lord-or Lady-of the Sith.
Flint Torul II (Human male from Belderone); son of the late Jedi Knight Flint Torul, Flint, named after his father, was trained by Darth Vader as an acolyte for the Empire. Following the Battle of Endor, Lumiya took Flint as an apprentice and the two of them made a deal with Atha Prime and joined the Dark Empire. After Sidious' death, Flint and his master retreated to Vjun with the other Dark Jedi. When Sedriss and the Dark Jedi attempted to assassinate Lumiya, Flint confronted them and was killed.
Seven Dark Jedi; the Empire's first group of Dark Jedi. Merged with Vorath's Sith Order
Jerec (Miraluka male); a former Jedi Master, Jerec survived the Great Jedi Purge and became an Inquisitor under Emperor Palpatine. Jerec soon formed a small group of Dark Side Adepts which later became a small faction after Palpatine's death. Jerec later encountered the Sith spirit of Darth Trayus, who brought him, Sariss, and Gorc to Vorath's Sith Order. As a Sith Lord, Jerec served as de facto military leader of the Sith Empire's army. His current fate is unknown.
Sariss (Human female from Dromund Kaas); the daughter of the Prophet and former Imperial warlord Cronal, Sariss was one of Jerec's six Dark Jedi companions. During the Galactic Civil War, Sariss, under the alter ego of 'the Prophetess', lived on Tatooine as a fortune teller in Mos Eisely.

He managed to escape the Empire's purge, eventually falling to the dark side and becoming one of Jerec's Dark Jedi apprentices. When the seven Dark Jedi arrived at Marka Ragnos' tomb, Darth Trayus unleashed a horde of zombies, and Maw was killed in the ensuing fight.
Boc Aseca (Twi'lek male from Ryloth); although his planet was under the watch of a Jedi Watchman, Boc Aseca was born the year said watchman, Master Bondara, was killed by Darth Maul. When his Force-sensitivity was finally discovered, Aseca was told that he was too old to begin Jedi training.
