Eternal Father
OVERVIEW
An individual may die, but the Sith are eternal.
It is those prophetic words that drive forth the engine of the Dark Side, the wheels and mechanisms which guide the Sith Empire into the future. Built upon the foundations of strength, knowledge, and power, the Sith Empire seeks to exert its influence across the galaxy. What was once an ad-hoc alliance of Imperial warlords, technocrats, and the dark warriors of the Sith has transformed into a massive Empire stretching from the wheat fields of Dantooine to the tumultuous waters of Mon Cala.
Held together by the ironclad principles of Sith-Imperialism, the Sith Empire is inexorable in its commitment to establishing a galaxy-spanning Empire ruled by the Sith.

The laws which the Empire was governed by were enshrined in the Sith Mandates, which outlined how the government operated and how society was to be operated within the margins of the Mandates.
The Empire was led by the Sith Emperor, who also held the title of Dark Lord of the Sith. The Emperor's word was law, and the Empire itself was directed in accordance with his will. He could appoint and dismiss ministers and military leaders at will and was beholden to none but himself.

CHAMBER OF THE MELIORA
The Chamber of the Meliora was the Sith Empire's legislative body and administrative apparatus used to directly govern the Empire's various territories. The head of the Chamber held the title of Grand Vizier, the Emperor's deputy, and led a council of four Grand Moffs. The Grand Moffs controlled territories known as Imperial Commissariats, which were in turn subdivided into four sectors run by Moffs, and further divided into the individual star systems run by Governors.
IMPERIAL COMMISSARIAT HESPERIS
Situated with the Veragi Trade Route forming its Western, Northern, and Eastern borders and the Braxant Run and Celanon Spur forming its Southern border, Hesperis is comprised of the Western-most provinces of the Empire. Though once considered part of the Empire's former heartlands, Hesperis has fallen into decline as the centers of power were diverted to Dromund Kaas and the Stygian Caldera. Though often overlooked, Hesperis remains strategically important due to the immensity of the Void of Chopani which shields the Empire's heart from its enemies in the West.
IMPERIAL COMMISSARIAT TRANSHYDIAN
Spanning from the Eastern Veragi Trade Route to the Hydian Way, Transhydian is an economically important sector due to its direct connection to the trade routes of the Hydian Way. Less populated than the other territories of the Empire, with the exception of Hesperis, Transhydian is nonetheless an important slice of the Empire with worlds such as Axxila, Lorrd, and Serenno lying within its borders.
IMPERIAL COMMISSARIAT INTERVIAE
Placed between the Hydian Way and the Perlemian Trade Route, Interviae is the most important Commissariat within the Empire. Hosting the wealthiest and most populated worlds in the Empire, Interviae is also the home of the Imperial Crownlands, the seat of the Empire's military, political, and spiritual power. Interviae also encompasses several of the Empire's autonomous districts, such as the Corporate Sector Authority, the Galidraani Enclave, the Saarishash Order-State, and the Thirriken Enclave.
IMPERIAL COMMISSARIAT TRANSPERLEMIAN
Imperial Commissariat Transperlemian stretches from the Perlemian Trade Route to the borderland between the Ash Worlds and Hutt Space. The autonomous district of Greater Tion is situated within Transperlemian, while the Southern border is contested by the Silver Jedi Concord, while the Eastern border is contested by the Bryn'adûl, with armed conflicts breaking out regularly.

SITH-IMPERIAL MILITARY
The armed forces of the Sith Empire were separated into two branches, the Sith-Imperial Armada (Navy) and the Sith-Imperial Legion (Army). Both of these branches were represented by the Pillar of the Armada and the Pillar of the Legion respectively in the Pillars of the Empire. Both were responsible for the protection of the Empire's territory and for persecuting conflicts against its enemies, both foreign and domestic.
SITH-IMPERIAL ARMADA
The Sith-Imperial Armada is the naval arm of the military, comprising the thousands upon thousands of space-faring vessels and space stations that stretch from one end of the Empire to the other. The Armada's most significant ships were star destroyers, which comprised the backbone of any naval formation and were the axis around which the Armada operated. Dozens of other smaller and larger classifications of ships revolved around the star destroyer, usually designed to serve a particular specialization over the broad generalization of roles the star destroyer fulfilled. Under the Armada was the Starfighter Corps, which was rendered subordinate to the authority of the fleet.

SITH-IMPERIAL LEGION
The Sith Legion was the planetary arm of the military, conscripted from the thousands of worlds subjected to the Sith Empire's authority. Numbering in the billions, the Legion's purpose was to garrison Imperial worlds, put down insurrections, and engage enemy forces on external campaigns across the galaxy. The typical soldier of the Sith Legion was known as the Legionnaire and was trained for both unflinching loyalty and unbreakable resolve, with specialized roles existing for different combat circumstances. Foot soldier, cavalry, and stormtrooper rolled into one, the Legionnaire was the symbol of the Empire's presence across the galaxy.

SITH ORDER
The Sith Order, also known as the Brotherhood of the Sith, was the Force-Sensitive religious order that existed under the Sith Empire. Sith prospects were trained and housed in academies across multiple worlds and were governed by a triad of Sith Lords known as the Sith Triumvirate. The Triumvirate formed three central aspects of the Sith Order, Knowledge, Power, and Strength, with a Triumvir existing to embody one of these three aspects. Under the Triumvirate were the various Sith Lords, Knights, and Apprentices of the Order.
SANCTUM OF KNOWLEDGE
Controlled by the Triumvir of Knowledge, the Sanctum of Knowledge comprised all of the Sith Order's scholars and historians. They were charged with keeping a record of the Sith's history, as well as acting as custodians for the Order's various libraries and archives.
SANCTUM OF POWER
Controlled by the Triumvir of Power, the Sanctum of Power comprised all of the Sith Order's alchemists and sorcerers. They were charged with experimenting on new methods to create monsters and weapons for the Sith, as well as improve upon magical rituals.
SANCTUM OF STRENGTH
Controlled by the Triumvir of Strength, the Sanctum of Strength comprised all of the Sith Order's warriors and overseers. They were charged with serving on the front lines of conflicts as well as tutoring the next generation of Sith in the martial forms of combat.
