The Sith Empire

Getting their start from the Dark Prophets, whose original goal had been forgotten, the Sith Empire has slowly regained its strength since their ancient defeat in the age of the Old Republic. As Galactic Civil War began across the galaxy, the Dark Prophets hatched a new scheme to return the Sith to power, and began converting the population of the Dromund Kaas and the Imperial Forces stationed their to their control. Careful to keep their rise a secret from the rest of the Galaxy.

As the war came to a close, the bloodshed caused by the Clone Wars, the Galactic Civil War, and the loss of life caused by the Death Star is finally sufficient to awaken the slumbering essence of Tenebrae. The essence finds its way into a young sith apprentice, and with so much power, the young Sith known as Merilen quickly rises in power. Meanwhile, recognizing the peace that is soon to settle over the galaxy, the Supreme Prophet of the Sith, Snoke, puts new plans into action. Departing the secret Sith Enclave on Dromund Kaas, the so-called Supreme Leader Snoke influences the more fanatical military forces of the Imperial Remnant, leading the newly formed First Order into contest with the New Republic.

Taking advantage of the vacancy, and now considered a Dark Prophet himself, the power of Merilen continues to grow, and soon he takes the leading title of the Supreme Prophet for himself. Within the coming years, Merilen names himself as the True Sith Emperor as Tenebrae's essence is fully awoken within. With his knowledge returned to him, Sith Emperor Merilen sends word to the Eternal Empire to return to him from their hidden location in the Tyus Cluster, and begins to conquer some of the Sith Empires old territory.

Sith Emperor Merilen begins to reorganize the Dark prophets into a Sith Council, and reclaim the planet of Korriban, with Merilen beginning the training of new Sith apprentices en masse. He further begins the training of an army for the Sith. His decision to ignore the fleet needed to field such forces is ridiculed, though none dare oppose his power openly.

As the Eternal Fleet arrives at Dromund Kaas, they bring with them the Star Forge, and any questions of Merilin's sanity are mostly dismissed. The Sith Emperor orders the use of the Star Forge to create a new fleet for the Sith Empire, at a rate unheard of in the present age. The internal factories of the Star Forge are additionally utilized to create the gear and armor needed for the Sith Army, and with his army growing, the Sith Emperor begins plotting his invasion of the Galaxy.

With their old territory reclaimed, the Sith Empire focuses it's sight further on surrounding systems, their engine of war slowly creeping towards Yavin. The Sith Emperor keeps the Eternal Fleet at Dromund Kaas in protection of the Star Forge to ensure complete control, instead sending single ships with each of the Sith Empires armadas so he can observe their progress directly. As the years pass, the Sith Empire completes the preparation of its army with the resources acquired from the conquered worlds, and the training of enough Sith Lords to command their armies finally finished, Merilen orders the invasion to begin, with the majority of the Sith fleet spearheading the assault directly towards the border planet of Yavin.

Fleet

Super Dreadnaught
Eclipse-class Dreadnaught

The flagship of the Sith Empire, the Shadow of Korriban is a massive Super Dreadnought, the crowning achievement of the Sith Empire's Starforge, and one of the largest Super Dreadnoughts in the galaxy. The ship is equipped with an axial superlaser, similar but lesser in strength to the Death Star's superlaser, able to cut through other ships with ease and even able to destroy a planet with a significant length of sustained fire. While the Eternal Fleet rests in defense of the Starforge and Dromund Kaas, the Shadow of Korriban protects the Sith Academies on Korriban, from where Dread Master Cor commands the armies and fleets of the Sith Empire.

Dreadnaught
Annihilator-class Star Dreadnought

With the need for other powerful Dreadnoughts to combat the larger ships of the galaxy, a new design was created based upon the Eclipse-class design. Without the added verticality of the Eclipse-class, the Annihilator-class Star Dreadnought's focus is on minimizing it's vertical signature without sacrificing weaponry.

Battlecruiser
Kyber-class Star Dreadnought

With the success of the Harrower-class Dreadnought, the ship was redesigned to be more in line with the modern size of dreadnought and upgraded with more modern weaponry, with the additional capabilities to create an interdiction field and a massive central hangar for rapid deployment of starfighters.

Star Destroyer
Centurion-class Battlecruiser

Historically known as a battlecruiser used by the old Sith Triumverate, the Centurion-class Battlecruiser has been brought in line with modern technology and is used for the primary Star Destroyer role by the new Sith Empire.

Carrier
Gage-class Transport

Another ancient design used by the Sith Empire, the Gage-class Transport so too has been brought in line with modern technology. instead of it's prior use as a troop and cargo transport, the Gage-class Transport has additionally been outfitted with carrier capabilities and is often used in tandem with the Centurion-class Star Destroyers.

Heavy Cruiser
Harrower-class Dreadnought

With its design lasting far longer than the Sith Empire it had served for numerous years, it was kept in the main databases belonging to Emperor Palpatine in the years leading up to his death. With the Dark Prophets and various dark side adepts having access to databases, it was only a matter of time before the designs ended up in the hands of one of those that would eventually join the Sith Kingdom. Now the Harrow-class dreadnaughts are being built with the Star Forge to wreak devastation across the galaxy.

Cruiser
Interdictor-class Cruiser

Being older than the Harrower-class dreadnought by two centuries, the designs for the Interdictor-class cruiser remained with the Eternal Fleet until their return to their master. The Interdictor-class cruisers have been built to secure the hyperlanes into Sith Kingdom space and prevent the unwanted spread of their return to the rest of the galaxy.

Frigate
Terminus-class Destroyer

Like the Interdictor-class cruiser, the Terminus-class destroyer’s design was brought along with the return of the Eternal Fleet. The design quickly became one of the New Sith Fleet’s frigates. Modified to have heavier weapons than that of the similar S-class, it was built to deal heavy damage to larger vessels with concussion missile launchers and heavy turbo laser batteries donning the hull.

Corvette
S-class Light Star Cruiser

Almost indistinguishable to the naked eye to the Gage-class or the Terminus, the S-class light cruiser is built for speed and interception. With quad-laser turbo batteries in place of concussion missile launchers, it is built to deal with fighters and freighters. With upgraded engines boosting its speed, the S-class light cruiser is used for hyperlane patrols, escorting the interdictor cruiser in twos.

Strikecraft and Transports
Fury-class Imperial Interceptor

The Fury interceptor is probably one of the heavier fighters employed by the Sith Empire. Almost exclusively used by Sith, these ships are capable of carrying at least six passengers to whatever destination they require. In combat, the Fury interceptor is a heavy scout vessel as it is fast, armoured and capable of carrying heavy weapons.

S-12 Blackbolt

The S-12 Blackbolt is the primary scout vessel used by the Sith Kingdom, due to its similarity to the TIE-Interceptor. It is lightning fast, and capable of being armed with laser cannons and missile launchers. Unlike the TIE-Interceptor it has a shield equipped, putting it on a level with similar vessels employed by the New Republic.

TZ-24 Enforcer

The TZ-24 Enforcer is the primary fighter of the Sith Kingdom, due to the kingdoms need for a hardy fighter required for a small population. Able to travel in hyperspace and with a maximum of two crewmen it was able to go on patrol and explore the various systems in and around Sith Kingdom Space.

B28 Extinction-class Bomber

The B28 Extinction-class bomber might’ve been chosen for its infamous usage in history as the bomber that destroyed major parts of Coruscant during the sacking that lead to the destruction of the Jedi Temple. With a similar design to the Fury Interceptor, the bomber is well armoured for the possibility of heavy engagement with exterior forces.

X-70B Phantom-class Shuttle

Having been a prototype at the height of the Sith Empire and utilised almost entirely by Imperial Intelligence agents, it wasn’t any wonder that the X-70B phantom was chosen to be one of the many ships assigned for use by the Sith. The ship was built for stealth, with a specific stealth plating making it incredibly hard to detect on sensors, the ship could take the Sith outside of Sith Kingdom space and not be detected.

Imperial Assault Shuttle

With the need for a military transport, the Imperial Assault Shuttle was used to transport Sith Troopers around the galaxy, and thus fell into that role when discovered by the Sith of the Sith Kingdom. Most capital ships used by the Sith Kingdom have these vessels in their hangers, able to transport their Sith Troopers to battlefields and enemy vessels alike.

Sith Star Courier

One of the few vessels of the Sith Empire that the sith did not design themselves, the Star Courier was a limited production vessel commissioned by Darth Sidious for his apprentice at the time, Darth Maul. The dark prophets acquired the design after this for their own personal use. Unlike the other ships, these Star Couriers are built for Sith apprentices once they rise as a Sith Lord.

Sith Starfighter

With the lighter interceptors employed by the rest of the galaxy, the Sith Empire found itself in need of a lighter, more agile fighter, and found it's answer in the designs brought along with the Eternal Fleet. The ancient Sith Starfighter's small design and folding wings allow a larger number of them to be stored within the Ships of the Sith Navy.
