STAR WARS™: The Old Republic™ - Timeline - Onslaught of the Sith Empire

A new holorecord in the Jedi Archive tells the story of the Sith Empires surprise attack at the start of the Great War over 28 years before the Sacking of Coruscant. Master Gnost-Dural notes the brilliance of the Imperial military's carefully orchestrated assault which put the Republic at a disadvantage for the duration of the conflict.

BTC 28 Centuries after being driven into exile, the Sith Empire returned from deep space to launch the most calculated military assault in Republic history. Strategically revealing its attack in a menacing manner, the Sith struck fear into the hearts of the Republic's defenders even while orchestrating surprise attacks at carefully targeted locations across the galaxy. When the Republic fleet rushed to respond, they discovered the Sith had established puppet governments on several planets in the Outer Rim. Surrounded by enemies and traitors, the Republic fleet was forced to scatter, allowing the Sith Empire to sweep through most of the Outer Rim without further challenge. The Empire's initial victories put the Republic at a disadvantage for the duration of the Great War.

Watch the sixth Timeline holorecord, Onslaught of the Sith Empire, narrated by actor Lance Henriksen.

The best Timeline so far. The Emperor is tactical genius - to attack the Republic, and to make the Republic attacks itself ;]

[liquidaardvark]

When are we going to see some in-game space battles?

[MegaBadjosh]

@MegaBadjosh and if this were true the each single clone would have to defeat the last one in combat to prove that he wasn't faulty and worthy of the throne and considering the fact that each clone could remember the life of his past self i think this was a very possible scenario.

[MegaBadjosh]

meh i think the smartest move by the sith was in ep.3 with order 66 the Empire had control over almost all of republic territory in a matter of days while using what was the republics own fleets and elite troopers that had been cloned from mandalorians themselves. I actually wonder if the emperor cloned himself several times to live through the millennia and the old emperor was actually Palpatine himself because in forces of corruption 2 it was proved that force sensitives could be cloned.

@DutchslayerX because the work VERY well

[texterbro101]

lol, i see shaak ti and the empire out of episodes 3,4,5,6 must have copied the sith fleet?

[DutchslayerX]

I cant seem to stop wondering why the Republic would use improved models of the old sith ships, 3000 years later.

[izikavazo]

That's a familiar invasion route.

[DocKing236]

Thats why you shoot sith before they have time to think ...FOR THE REPUBLIC!!!

[TheBeddu]

This reminds me of the Helghast from Killzone so much..

[weldonwin]

So ultimately... What I take away from this is that the Republic is weak, prone to infighting and corruption while the Sith always come back stronger every time
