The Sith Empire was the name given to a series of empires of the Sith that existed long before the Galactic Empire. The Sith Empires at various moments once controlled most of the galaxy, and often fought against the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order in a series of wars and battles, including the Great Hyperspace War, the Sith Wars, the Great Scourge of Malachor, the crusade of Krath, and other conflicts, until the last Sith Empire collapsed.

The Sith Empire was composed of multiple Sith empires that existed long before the Galactic Civil War. At one point according to the Qel-Droma Epics following its inception, a Sith Empire invaded the Deep Core planet of Empress Teta, with Sith forces being led by the Sith Lord Naga Sadow. The invasion led to Empress Teta to ally herself with the Jedi Order, which were mortal enemies of the Sith. The conflict resulted in the Great Hyperspace War, and the Jedi and Empress Teta supposedly managed to drive back Sadow's forces, resulting in their defeat and forcing the Sith to scatter throughout the galaxy. In another moment according to the Qel-Droma Epics, Naga Sadow decimated the Jedi world of Ossus when he triggered the stars in the Cron Cluster, resulting in the Cron Supernova which left Ossus scarred and barren.

In another instance, a Sith Empire maintained a presence on the Sith world of Malachor. A Sith Temple was situated on the surface, which contained a superweapon that was created by Darth Tanis. Eventually the Jedi Order invaded the planet in what became known as the Great Scourge of Malachor, as during the battle[3] between the Jedi and the Sith Empire's thousands of Sith led by a Sith witch, the superweapon activated and petrified the surface, killing all of the combatants.

At another point, the Sith eventually controlled the majority of the galaxy, and as such, gemstones were freely traded, although this caused a flooding of the market and the value of gemstones dropped until bans and limits were put in place.[12] Additionally, Sith empires were built by slave labor. Serenno was a particular planet under the rule of a Sith Empire according to legend, until it was overthrown by a victorious charge led by one of the earliest members of House Serenno. Also at another time, a Sith Empire participated in the Sith Wars against the Galactic Republic and the Chiss Ascendancy.
