Sith Empire
Totalitarian state ruled by dark side aspected force users descended from a group of fallen jedi fleeing the First Hyperspace War. These Jedi and their non-force-sensative followers interbred with the humanoid Sith race.
Much smaller, but much more wealthy on a per-planet basis, than the Republic. The Sith Empire contained numerous exotic technologies, many of which were pimped up with sith magic and alchemy.
