Sith Dominion

The Beginning
About 20 ABY, Tibrin and three of it's nearby systems fell under the influence of a new defence organization of hired guns. They managed order in the systems, protecting them from outside offences that might happen with the Imperial Remnant still roaming about. The leader of this organization was a man named Dantes, who later became the Count of Tibrin after making it seem that his troops caused havoc with the concent of the leader. He overthrew the leader and with cheers of the people, became the liberator of the system. This same thing happened with the two other systems. It was later that year revealed that the Count was really the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Tepe. He had gained his foothold on the galaxy and took over the fleets given to him by his old Master, Emperor Rythe. He at first caused severe chaos in the Republic Senate by publically speaking against the Republic and it's bureucratic ways. He shocked the whole Galaxy by seperating the systems from the Republic and announcing publically to be a Sith Lord. he Jedi took swift action, pleading the Senate to take action, but none was yet taken for unknown reasons. It is supposed this is because Darth Tepe had managed to corrupt enought politicians to stop the action against himself before he was ready, but this has not been confirmed.

The Expansion
The new Sith Dominion started to grow first in military strenght, then in cultural and economical strenght. When the Sith deemed his military ready for war if it would come to it, he sent his amabassador to Coruscant with several Dark Jedi to keep the man safe. After the mission, the use of Dark Jedi was reduced to almost none, most were merged as a part of the Armed Forces and especially the Defence Force of Tibrin. The ambassador started negotiations of the Republic letting the Dominion have the old Sith Space that was formed of about a 120 worlds with the exception of Ossus that would stay under Jedi control if the transmission would be made peacefully.

The mission ended with no real success, or so it would seem. The Master's Council of the Jedi on Coruscant was killed by an old and powerful Jedi Lord named Emukiel Al-Saefar who had been presumed dead since twenty years after the end of the Hundred Year Darkness. During this time, he had become the supporter of Potentium and had been influenced by the words of Tepe so much he believed that it was the will of the Force that the Council was to be killed. The New Republic was not ready for such a war quite yet and with their hostilities towards the Imperials still going on, they were basically fighting on two fronts. Without the resources or power to effectively and swiftly defend the planets in Sith Space, they fell one by one with over a 100 of the planets under Dominion control after only six months. The Dark Lord also got a new and powerful apprentice during this time as an addition to his first apprentice called Kaoin. The new apprentice was named Darth Charna or more widely as Lady Charna.

War
The New Sith War raged violently. The Sith Hunters were kicked out of the Jedi Order and had taken refuge somewhere where Tepe could not find them so the man concentrated on the war. He had over 130 worlds within his Sith Dominion, including Kamino and Rothana that supported his cause with weaponry and elite troops as soon as the order was ready. As Tepe was given the new blueprints for approval, they were copied and given to several secret factories and drydocks within his worlds that poured out several ships and tens of machines a week. The Lord even commanded a large droid army that he used whenever cannon fodder was needed. The Dominion Guard was founded, each Sith having their own brigade of elite guards trained and dressed similiarly to the Royal Guards of Palpatine. Tepe's Meditation Sphere was rarely seen during the war as not many battles were worth his time. Later on the use of the Sphere was dropped completely due to sabotage attempts on it and it was hidden to an undisclosed location.

Towards the end of the war, a new ship was revealed to a strikeforce of the New Republic. Single-handedly the humongous Dungeon Ship beat the strike force that only anrrowly escaped. The Dungeon Ship was the new flagship of the whole of the Sith Dominion Navy and the mobile base of the Dark Lord. It held cell blocks, torture chambers, an academy for guards and Dark Jedi, huge amounts of weaponry, huge hangars and so forth. The Republic was shocked by the newcomer and the stopping of the advance. The Dominion had stopped at the 130 worlds and now only defended them from attacks with large forces assigned to each world. The Republic managed to take over some planets, but the Dominion just took them over again and again as long as the Republic continued to invade. In the end, the economy of the Republic had deep wounds in it, the military might had been increased so much that the public viewed it as more of an empire and the people were not heard at all. A hasty peace was formed between the Republic and the Sith Dominion while the Jedi Order was starting to divide into the more bloodlusty faction and the peaceful faction. Skywalker was of course on the peaceful side
