Sith Empire (The Old Republic)

The Sith Empire is one of the major interstellar governments of the galaxy and the heir to the Old Sith Empire. Based on the jungle world of Dromund Kaas and the desert planet of Korriban, the Sith Empire was rebuilt in the galaxy's Unknown Regions following their defeat in the Great Hyperspace War and the subsequent Sith Holocaust. Led by the Sith Lord Vitiate, the refugees settled the long-forgotten world of Dromund Kaas and began the long process of rebuilding their Empire and exact their revenge. The Sith Empire returned to the known galaxy twenty-eight years before the Treaty of Coruscant and decimated the Republic, forcing them to sue for peace after the Sacking of Coruscant. In the aftermath, the Empire became on of the two superpowers of the galaxy and were locked in a cold war with the Galactic Republic for the next decade.

Government and politics
At its heart, the Sith Empire was a magocratic authoritarian state under a hereditary imperial monarchy. At the head of the Empire sat the Sith Emperor, who functions as the head of state and head of the Sith Order. The House of Darths, which replaced the Dark Council after the coronation of Emperor Arthus, served as an advisory board and ensured the smooth running of the Empire. Below the House sat the Moff High Council, a twenty-man board that nominally represented the non-Force sensitive population. Each High Moff was in charge of an Imperial Sector

Sphere of Commerce
The Sphere of Commerce was established under Emperor Arthus shortly after his ascension to the throne. It deals with everything from inter-Imperial commerce, tariff and trade restrictions, labour regulations, and more.

The Sith Empire was run as a magocratic authoritarian government. At the head of the Empire sat the Sith Emperor. The Dark Council served as an advisory board and ensured the smooth running of the Empire. The Dark Council served as a combined executive, legislative, and judicial branch of the government. Each of the 12 councilors were responsible for individual areas of the Empire called Spheres of Influence. A sphere would either have one of the three ministries report to it, or would have a bureaucracy under it to ensure its functions. A few spheres also had specific agencies that reported to it, separate from the ministries. These organizations included the Imperial Diplomatic Service and the Imperial Conquest Consolidation Corps.[4]
