Force War

The Force War was a series of conflicts between the Sith Dynasty and the Republic, with the Jedi Order getting involved later in the war.

After remaining hidden for more than 400 years, the Sith returned to the galaxy to conquer the recently formed Republic in the year 3204 BBY. When the Jedi Order pledged their allegiance to the Republic in 3,120 BBY, they assisted them in driving the Sith back to Korriban, ending the war in 3110 BBY

The war was initially a cold war, taking place between smaller factions that were puppet states controlled by the Sith and the Republic. Eventually open war broke out between the factions in 3138 BBY with the Sith gaining large territory from the Republic. However, their constant infighting and backstabbing proved to be a massive hinderance to the war effort. When the Jedi intervened, the Sith were led to a planet in Wild Space, known as Voltrus Prime. The Voltran Empire allied itself with the Jedi and the Republic, killing many thousands of Sith in a battle that would become known as the Great Slaughter.

Although the Sith were eventually driven back to Korriban by the war's end, the Republic wanted to ensure that the Sith never returned to the galaxy, and so set up a blockade around the Sith homeworld for almost 100 years.
