Sith Eternal

The Sith Eternal (Sith: Tsisqoritwai  ) was a marginal Sith order formed by half-breed Sith-Humans of the old Sith Empire who fled into the greater Unknown Regions during the joint Republic–Jedi counterinvasion of the Sith Worlds that followed the Great Hyperspace War. Along with the Sorcerers of Tund and the Lost Tribe of Sith, the Sith Eternal was among the last vestiges of the old Sith Empire to persist into the Great Peace of the Republic.

The origins of the Sith Eternal lay in the events that followed the Great Hyperspace War of 5000 BBY, a pangalactic conflict born of the Sith Empire's failed invasion of the Galactic Republic. Though the early war was characterized by a series of significant Sith victories, the Republic and its Jedi allies eventually rebounded and drove the Sith back to their core holdings in the Sith Worlds. A joint Republic–Jedi counterinvasion of the Sith Worlds followed soon thereafter, fracturing the fragmented Sith Empire and driving the Sith species to the brink of extinction.

While many refugees scattered to hidden Sith refuge worlds as diverse as Ambria, Dromund Kaas, Korriban, Thule, Tund, and Vjun, some survivors elected to flee further afield into the depths of the greater Unknown Regions, braving the dangers of the Galactic Barrier to escape expected pursuit by the Republic and Jedi. A number of these, united by a desire to see the Sith Empire reformed and the Sith species restored, founded a marginal Sith order they called the Sith Eternal,
