@@geetslys I know it wasn't on the list, but my favorite Sith Empire of all time ever in the entire Star Wars Expanded Universe is the Dark Empire from the Star Wars: Dark Empire comic book series in the Post-ROTJ EU. It was the Galactic Empire (Expanded Universe), but times one octillion and on steroids. I also really loved, and still do love, reading the Star Wars: Dark Empire comic book series. But if I had to say what my favorite Sith Empire is that was in this video, then I'd say the Galactic Empire (Expanded Universe) is my favorite Sith Empire of all time ever in the entire Star Wars Expanded Universe.

“My Empire is the greatest of all time!” said every Sith Lord ever, just before declaring themselves the Sith’ari and then getting straight dunked on by the Jedi. Gotta love it.
It’s always been my favorite thing about the Sith, reminds me of studying philosophy back in school. The egos on these people! “No no, those guys were all posers. I am perfection though, and there will be no need for anything after me. This is the be all end all, I’m right 100%. Eh, what’s that? Jedi you say? Huh that’s not good.” lol
@@arbington sounds like the socialists that live in America"no we can do it right the only reason why everyone else failed is because I didn't do it" 😂😂😂
I find it interesting that the closer the Sith came to total galactic control, the farther they drifted away from their original teachings and culture. The galactic empire basically wasn't even Sith anymore. It was just an empire that happened to be ruled by a Sith lord. Nobody outside of probably Palpatine's most closes associates even knew the Sith code.
As a great craftsman, who the Sith of old themselves(probably from those of Vitiate further on)considered a heretic, said to Vader: "The dark side doesn't serve us. We serve the dark side. You have been poorly taught what the dark side is and why we must serve. Your master is either ignorant or harbouring knowledge. It saddens me to see that *this* is what the Sith have become: such Jedi-obsessed weaklings. I know it saddens me and it *disgusts* the dark side! You're pathetic!" -Momin.
Revan's sith: starforge, the fact that they were trying to defeat the true Sith, and the fact that they were only stopped when Revan defected and only didn't butcher the Republic because Bastila
To be fair Revan's empire was only capable of controlling a third of the galaxy so quickly, because the republic was still recovering from the mandalorian wars and the war against Exar Kun, furthermore most of his military were former members of the republic who saw him as their hero. Anyways with the star forge and his tactical genius he would've conquered the galaxy, it would just take a little longer.
@@richarddavies5209 Reven and Malek were the only ones with the full plan, Reven placed his Empire between the True Sith and the Republics' core, he placed the military might of his Empire facing out not in. Then he instilled massive loyalty and pride in what they were doing, making them better prepared to respond to an outside threat. This is where their weakness was exploited, allowing one little ship with a Reborn Reven and his ragtag crew to defeat them systematically.
@@gothicshark yeah that's what I thought the vid just sounded like Revan's forces were in the know. Too bad we never got to see it in practice, maybe some dlc like when Shepard let that facility hit that mass relay and wiped out that area but a clutch/out post of Revan's sith against some sith jumping the gun to get a leg up on their rivals. Thanks for clearing that up
Only problem with their empire was that it was always destroying itself, the sith have no loyalties and betray each other all the time. It is the way of the Sith.
I actually made up a new Sith mantra/oath: Vengeance & carnage I shall reign all that exists shall know my pain. My passion kept in bondage with these chains, I will not rest until my foes are slain.
5:24 - It's funny that when talking about Vitiate everyone shows an image of Valkorion. I know it was the same guy but as Valkorion he was not only not a sith but also an enemy of the sith. 11:11 - Also it may confuse the sith empire with the eternal empire.
Vitiate was also just remembered as a dude that got killed by a single jedi. Makes sense why Marka Ragnos Chose Naga Sadow and Exar Kun instead of Vitiate. Valkorion as you mentioned was not even a sith.
Actually the True Sith Empire in my opinion, was the best and powerful, it literally sacked Coruscant, took half the Galaxy, and gave the Republic a run for their money for countless years. The Imperial troops were the face of discipline, Imperial Intelligence alone was an entity that was scarier than the entire Galactic Empire's forces. The true Sith Empire literally layed ground work right under the Jedi and Senates noses through their Cipher Agents, their Infiltrators, their Sleeper Agents in both the Jedi Order and the Republic Senate. The Galactic Empire compared to the true Sith Empire is like comparing an infant playing with toys to a giant.
+let us not forget that the true sith had to fight the republic during its golden age at the hight of its power whilst palpatine just had to controle a allready corrupt and divided parlament
Agreed. Only a pity for me is that it was (reckoned to be?) just another tool of Vitiate-Valkorion, who betrayed them for his Eternal Empire (which has crushed the Sith Empire) and had his focus on it
You forgot the One Sith of Darth Krayt, their Sith were really powerfull, and they had a very strong military who beat the Galactic Alliance and the Fell Empire.
True I also thought of that, their military capabilities were also similar to the galactic empire but with a stronger sith presence and less absolute dominance
@@nkosig4995 Although I wasn't a big fan of Star Wars: The Crystal Star it's the only *ONE* thing in the entire Star Wars Expanded Universe I wasn't a fan of (as I loved everything else in the EU with the exception of the former), and I'll take the EU over the shitty fakequels that Disney plopped outta their ass all day and every day. I'm happy that I'm pirating the entire series of The Mandalorian Season One and Season Two (but not that crappy Season Three), due to the fact that I ain't giving Disney shit.
@@jacenskywalker507 I honestly loved star wars legacy. It was written and presented in a way that it would have been the perfect the clone wars style tv show for legends. The world building was well handled, the story was dark and pretty damn mature and it was a fun read. I had thought to this day that everyone loved legacy but looks like not . I would love more insight into why so maybe you can destroy my childhood nostalgia and bring clarity to me. Btw same. I ain't giving disney shit they have fucked up whatever star wars was. The mando is good tho we gotta agree on that and for this I'm using a stolen Disney + account
I liked like half of Star Wars Legacy... But I'd have been happy if Darth Krayt just died at that one point. The War part of it was very weak imo. A half of Star Wars Legacy II is also fun, however also suffers from a weak endgame and it is mostly separate from the original Legacy.
I'll always like Revan's Empire the most. If it wasn't for Malak, he would undoubtedly had the biggest and most powerful military the galaxy had ever seen. AND it was for a good cause.
It doesn't matter if it was for a good cause. Because the dark side would inevitably twist whatever good intentions Revan had and turn it into the opposite of what Revan wanted.
@@vetarlittorf1807 He was already far gone by the time he was controlling his empire. But he at the very least controlled it to a point where he used it to combat something greater. There's no reason the dark side would have stopped him from trying to stop an existential threat.
@@feetmusk Maybe, but even if he did somehow manage to overthrow Vitiate, the dark side would just turn him into another Vitiate. The point is that Revan wanted to protect the innocents and fight for freedom, but that's not something he'd be able to do if he was consumed by the dark side. Especially since he was using the Star Forge, a massive dark side nexus.
I’m surprised you didn’t list the Sith Empires of Darth Ruin, Exar Kun, Darth Krayt and Skere Kaan’s Brothehood of Darkness. Sure, the later three did not last long and there is little information on Darth Ruin’s Sith Empire, but they all had made spectacular achievements in Galactic History
The bitter IRONY of the Galactic Empire is that there never would have been a rebel alliance in the first place (or would have been a far weaker version had they started later) if it wasn’t because of Sidious' own meddling
I'm torn between The True Sith Empire and Darth Revan's Sith Empire. The reason it's a hard choice is because of just how good those two were, even though Revan's only lasted for four years (thanks to Malek.). As a sidenote: I believe the Warrior and Inquisitor paths were more character creation and likely weren't the only paths available, based on both dialogue as well as Sith encountered throughout the game.
It's a shame really that Malak turned on Revan. His would have been the greatest empire in galactic history, able to crush the True Sith and endure for millennia. Even if Revan had removed primary war materials production from the Star Forge, he kept the major industrial centres of the Republic intact so he could make use of them. Based on his offer to do the same for the Jedi in the Revan novel, I think he would have revolutionized the way dark side users were trained if he had the time. Revan's time was consumed by the war in the early years, and Bastilla's battle meditation kept him occupied after that. And, for the record, Revan could absolutely crush Vader.
Revan VS Vader. Despite Vader being very strong in the force and skilled with a lightsaber. Though he has a high midichlorian count (idk how to spell it) he masters in only a few force abilities while Revan mastered all lightsaber combats and mastered most force abilities, dark and light.
I think that's fair. The Galactic Empire was way behind in terms of force power, and even military power in some ways, but they won out through sheer genius. Tactics and planning can really make a difference.
Darth Vitiate/Valkorion was ruler of 2 empires at the same time, the eternal empire and the sith empire, he had the Eternal Fleet under his control and said fleet did conquer the entire galaxy, not to mention Valkorion stayed in power for over a thousand years. Valkorion is way above Sidious.
I mean vitiate has to be in contention for number 1 only because of his power and his empire fighting the republic at a time where it wasnt as weak and divided as nan in the clone wars
I also think duration and length are categories that really should have been included too. The biggest problem with revan's order is that it's ultimately just a tool and has no actual longevity or ability to transfer power. Compared to the factions that managed to exist relatively stably for over a thousand years each.
Darth Vitiates empire was the best. He managed to rally the remainder of the old sith empire and over the centuries, managed to turn them into a force that not only fought the old republic, but steamrolled them for the early war through perfect planning and might. Had Revan not pacified Vitiate, he very well could have defeated the old republic. Not the recently militarized clone wars Era republic, but one tempered through nearly half a dozen wars which Vitiate either waited out, or instigated.
Great video, I have wondered how these Empire's would stack up against each other, and now I have a good idea about where they stand compared to each other. I think that Bane's rule of Two left the Sith in a much worse position rather than making them stronger like he claims. It made The Sith extremely vulnerable to destruction. Imagine if Anakin had killed Sidious when he found out he was a Sith Lord? Then The Sith would have died then and there. Eventually The Rule of Two did kill off all The Sith when Vader betrayed his master and died from the shock. I believe that The Galactic Empire was the worst Sith Empire, because it made the greatest mistake, and it was all Darth Bane's fault. The only reason The Sith did not really die out was because a random Jedi turned rotten after Order 66. I would place Revan's Empire on top. After all, Revan was smart enough to destroy The Mandalorian Empire. I think that The true Sith would take second place to Revan's Empire. I really like this video, it was well done. The ranking system was really good, I just disagree.
Agreed the sith from kotor 1 to the end of the old republic mmo are the sith at there strongest the only problem with revens empire was without someone like reven or malek or the sith triumvirate to lead them the empire crumbled into dust
I think you overestimate Revan's Empire a bit, considering that it's disregarded that the Galaxy was just ravaged by Mandalorian Wars. Which made the Republic territories, with their military power already strained with loss of Revan's forces, a much easier pick
Both the sith empire and the republic have five incarnations Republic 1) The Old Republic 2) The Galactic Republic 3) The Galactic Empire 4) The New Republic 5) The Galactic Federation Sith Empire 1) The Old Sith Empire 2) Revan’s Sith Empire 3) The True Sith Empire 4) The New Sith Empire 5) Krayt’s Sith Empire
Geetsly’s: “The True Sith Empire had many Sith in their ranks but were not nearly as powerful as the Old Sith, with the exception of the immeasurably powerful Darth Vitiate.” Darth Malgus: *Am I a joke to you?*
I would argue that the galactic empire whilest ruled by the Sith isnt inherently a Sith empire as it is designed off of the political norms of the republic and as such doesnt nessacatate the Siths existence to function, basicly they could work just as well or even better with say thrawn or pellion at the head as opposed to sidious, which is not true about any of the other 3 which are inherently Sith in nature and the removal of the Sith would cause the entire system to crumble. As it is the only reason as you said the galactic empire fell after sidious (in canon) is due to operation cinder and in legends the infighting of the various moffs and war lords, however the thrawn trilogy shows perfectly how a strong willed non Sith could unite and run the empire perfectly
Revan's, I'd say. They specifically chose to take over the Sith Empire for the extremely long-term goal of preserving the Republic, which worked. Everyone else shouted "I WIN" before immediately choking on a chicken bone or some shit.
To be fair Revan's empire was only capable of controlling a third of the galaxy so quickly, because the republic was still recovering from the mandalorian wars and the war against Exar Kun, furthermore most of his military were former members of the republic who saw him as their hero. Anyways with the star forge and his tactical genius he would've conquered the galaxy, it would just take a little longer.
I agree with your rankings, however I would contest that Revan's Sith weren't an actual Empire. They were an imperialist force, certainly, but since they had no governmental structure, no citizenry, no nation state or organized political, legal systems, Revan's forces were not a true Empire. Revan probably would've made an Empire, if he'd managed to conquer the galaxy, but he never got that far.
@@geetslys Unfortunately, with the way Disney is handling Star Wars, that would likely turn out to be a disaster. Even the few good parts of Disney Star Wars (The Mandalorian, and to a far lesser extent, TCW Season 7) have an abundance of flaws.
@@stargatecommand714 I'm only stating facts. Just look at how everything has turned out. If you can't see it, that's your prerogative, but not everyone shares your opinion.
In terms of politics, plaguis beats all. He brought banes one thousand year plan to fruition. Controlling the clone wars? The greatest political manipulations in star wars
Palpatine would be NOTHING without plagueis. Don't get me wrong, I love palps. But plagueis outclassed him In almost every aspect. Plagueis only failed due to his drunkenness and over confidence in his control over Palpatine and his midichlorians
@@Maine03 if you go by legend plagueis master was darth tenebrous, and he wasn’t really a politician he was more of a fighter and a soldier who liked to take problems head on while plagueis preferred to work behind the scenes. He was one of the richest in the galaxy after all.
@@egzabiheryemsgen4982 Ehh not really first off Tenebrous was not a soldier don’t know where u got that from but it is stayed he enjoyed lightsaber combat tho and if im not wrong Plaguies was richer then Tenebrous
@@Maine03 i meant plagueis was the richest. Not tenebrous. Tenebrous loved to fight and deal with things himself i meant, but plagueis, like palps preferred having your enemy assassinated by a bounty hunter or his apprentice instead of doing it himself.
Despite their differences all Sith orders have 4 things in common losing wars against smaller weaker opponents screwing over Mandalorians betraying each other at the worst possible time and building entire war strategies around super weapons/force rituals
I mean, the best Sith order has to be the Rule of Two era, because let's be honest, Palpatine and Vader Got Shit Done: toppled the Republic, destroyed the Jedi Order, ruled the Galaxy for decades
The problem is, what Palpatine and Vader ruled was not a Sith Empire, it was the Galactic Empire. Thats the biggest main issue besides them ruling for only a mere decades while Vitiates True Sith Empire was going for over 1500+ years WHILE ALSO having a second Empire on him too, the Eternal Empire.
I’d agree with the list as it is, but if you factor in Valkorion’s second empire (he had two just for fun) he argueably had the best thing going. Not only he had 2 different empires worth of territory, but he had force users like no other starting with himself and he didn’t shy away from using lightsiders even, at least on his eternal empire.
Revans Empire is my favorite..pure military built to fight the ultimate threat...after being betrayed by the Jedi and forging his own army his battle tactics were legendary!👊💥
Revans sith empire will always be one of my most favorite simply because it’s purely military. I’m a military man by nature so of course I’m drawn to revans
The True Sith, obviously. Darth Vitiate was literally one of the most powerful Sith Lords, he took on everyone and probably could have one had Revan not spent 3 centuries poisoning his mind. Or had he just, you know, attacked during the Darkwars rather than waiting for the republic to rebuild. Alternatively, Revan's empire was also really powerful because of the Star Forge. In the end, the only one able to unmake Revan's empire was Revan himself. A battle between Studious and Vitiate would be fascinating...
I would rank by stability and length of control. Sideous was the smartest and best conquer in galactic history, and yes his Empire was the strongest, but it was actually the second shortest-lived empire on your list. While the True Sith controlled their core worlds for thousands of years and ruled half the galaxy for almost a thousand years before being absorbed into the Republic. Plus the emperor of the Eternal Empire Darth Vitiate was essentially an immortal being who could drain the life force of worlds, in some ways I even felt that if they did Skywalker better they should have revealed that Sideous was really a remnant of Vitiate, sadly they didn't do that, because that would have been too awesome. So I would have put the order as "Eternal Empire/True Sith", Ancient Sith, The Galactic Empire, and reluctantly I would add Reven, however, the truth was his "empire" was actually a Dark Jedi military force with sith teachings aimed at the "Eternal Empire" and ready to protect the Galaxy against Vitiate.
Sidious didn't want his empire to have officially anything to do with the sith so I don't get why the hell it had the same symbol as the sith empire....!?
It's not that Palpatine's Empire was the strongest; rather, there was not nearly as much opposition compared to the Old Republic era. Jedi's and regular soldiers were much more powerful and better trained in TOR era than in the OT era, giving the Sith Empire a much harder time. The lack of opposition contributed to Palpatine's success. The fact that Palpatine's Empire fell short in an era where there were hardly any competition means he technically had the weakest one.
While I do agree that on average the force users of the true Sith Empire were nowhere near as strong as the force users of the ancient Sith Empire I do believe that their strongest force users like vitiate were on pare with the strongest of the ancient sith
Vitiate was by far even stronger than the ancient Sith, because he literally IS an ancient Sith. He was living in the times of Marka Ragnos, the last ruler of a period known as the Golden Age of the Sith.
@@Valkyraw but he didn’t rise to dominance till after the great hyperspace war during the old Sith empire he was a minor warlord ruling over an insignificant Sith planet
@@tedrpz I wouldnt call him insignificant. A boy who conquered his planet at the age of 13 and was made a Lord by Marka Ragnos himself, who at his time was undefeated, is not insignificant at all.
Id say swtor empire was stronger than the Galactic empire, since It managed to survive hundreds of years of war against the republic instead of.. less than 30 Edit: and that was because of its "adaptability", even thought those changes were forced
But the Eternal Empire is not a "Sith" Empire, though technically, a Sith Emperor was ruling it. It's really too bad that Meeta turned on Revan. If she hadn't, maybe, just maybe there would have been no Vitiate/Valkorion left...
Fun fact about sith lightning, it wouldn't even be possible for THEM to use because of how lightning travels. If you produced enough energy in your fingertips to create lightning it would simply follow the nerve paths in your body straight to the ground through your feet likely killing you and DEFINITELY hurting a lot
@@whoareyou98 nahh the infinite empire was massive and could pump out countless weapons of war thru the star forge as well as unlocked its secrets with the dark side. Add to that entire armies of force sensitive rakata as well as any slaves they force to fight for them against stormtroopers and a handful of inquisitors and emperors hands and the galactic empire is gonna have serious issues fighting back against them. The only serious threats would be vader, sidious and some super weapons however I have faith in the rakata given the weapons they've used to devastate entire worlds and the sheer enormity of their empire. Plus given how their tech was powered thru the force itself I'd argue they had some of the most powerful tech ever seen which includes war droids, munitions and their entire navy.
You have to give Revan a lot of credit though. He nearly succeeded and If he hadn’t been turned it was very likely that even the true sith or the eternal fleet would have fallen underneath the infinite ranks of Revan’s forces
Though the Eternal Empire only conquered both the Republic and True Sith Empire after Valkorion’s “assassination,” I’d give it an honorable mention. I know that it wasn’t technically affiliated with the Sith, but it was still founded by a vessel of Tenebre’s and managed to bring both the Republic and Empire to their knees within two years; at the same time.
I'd disagree in calling Reven's Empire the most powerful militarily, even if the technology was equalised the Galactic Empire's militarily was far larger than any of the others, potentially larger than all of them combined in terms of manpower, the ability to project force, fleet size and and especially overall tonnage. Even if you're considering their military power relative to their opponents it's far more powerful.
In facts yes but potentially no. If Revan was not betrayed, the star forge could have built millions of star destroyer in less than a decade. If he had the tech it could have built several death star in the same time the galactic empire built one. Not even mentionning that discipline and skill were very important among revanite soldiers. Those would have crushed storm Troopers. If only because they were used to fight in massive battle against many force users.
@@Gyratus not quite. While the Star Forge represented a huge amount of industrial capacity it wasn't so large as to make the Old Republic's industrial capacity irrelevant even though it was overall more than what the Old Republic could build. But compare that to the industrial bbase of the GE with thousands of years more development and expansion under its belt? The GE almost certainly could have outproduced the Star Forge comfortably.
@@coreymicallef365 Of course. But you forget that the SF does not cos anything, either in resources nor manpower in building. That means that all that manpower and basic resources can be reinvested somewhere else. And of course that the GE has better production it's bigger and way more advanced. But given the chance the Revanite empire could have been incredibly powerful especially in the case the star forge could build other SF.
@@Gyratus it still takes manpower to crew the ships or operate any of the equipment produced by the Star Forge and the GE could equally well reinvest their industrial production into increasing their production rate. The GE is starting at a higher base production, has more manpower, territory and a greater logistical capacity to use to build up their production capacity.
i know what youre gonna say and i agree but if the old sith could pull warships from above them with the force (4:30-4:50) then reys feats seem more normal. especially given shes palpy
Good old Revan, pretty sure his the best, for the reasons why, and how powerful it was. Even though her personally failed in his goals, he still had success as his crazy war hardened the republic and Jedi for the coming war, got the republics war machine spun up and ready so they could eventually win. Without that, the republic would’ve fallen to vitiate and his schemes using the mandalorians.
To be fair, Naga Shadow didn't help matters. Most of the Sith of his era were cool with the Empire they already had, but the idea of conquering the Republic was too tempting for him.
In this video I prefer revan 's sith empire and the galactic empire because these two factions have the most powerful military might however these are just my opinions
Can you make a video of the greatest lightsaber duelists Sith, Jedi or other force users ranked in order then another list of greatest force users. Rank these lists as if they were to combat each other.
vitiate empire is definitely #1 he brought both the empire and republic to their knees and their seat of power wasn’t threatened until the outlander came to challenge them
The Galactic Empire dwarfs any other previous Empire just through sheer numbers and the vast technological gap alone. The most powerful Sith lineage should be the Banite line born from the Rule of Two. That's the point of the Banite Sith; they evolved. Valkorion, while powerful, is the most profound singular demonstration on why the Ancients have strayed from the right path. Instead of relying on their own internal strength and will to shape their own power, they intended to bolster their power through artificial means such as nexuses, rituals, artifacts, alchemy, minions or sometimes all at the same time in their misguided quest to indulge themselves within the limited confines of the physical plane. The Banites did not go that same path-to continue merely scrounging on some dusty old tomes or scrolls, they took it a step further: they tapped into the very essence of the Living Force, bent its will, and began to alter reality itself, very much like Neo in the matrix when he finally starts to see the world as it is; just code. The Banite Sith had enough vision to understand that they can only ascend by breaking the rules. Plagueis almost perfected this when he nearly mastered life and death through midi-chlorian manipulation, and then Sidious took the reigns from him and expressed his own grandiose power in his own way (Force Storms activated through his sheer will and will alone as well as telekinetically lifting Super Star Destroyers) was.
Palpatine achieved what other sith before him could not as he learned from the mistakes of previous sith lords. And knew that he can't just share his dark side knowledge with everyone in the empire as it would make his empire destroy itself
So you say "all Sith factions" but you don't mention, as an example, Exar Kun's empire. It definitely should've made this list, as Kun was one of the greatest lightsaber duelists ever and an incredibly powerful force-user, his empire even almost destroyed the republic.
What about the New Sith of the thousand years of Darkness? I know they were actually a conglomerate of separate factions, but I believe that they were one of the most brutal Sith of the galaxy's history. Where would you put them in this tire list?

@ @@bryanx5829 , sometimes that didn’t happen
@@bryanx5829 they actually were decently stable
Dark empire, eternal empire, and galactic empire are way stronger
Vitiate’s (Great Galactic/Second Galactic and I think Third Galactic war), Revan’s (Jedi Civil War), and the Ancient Sith (Marka Ragnos/Naga Sadow)
Yes 👍
The strongest faction is of course the empire of Darth Jar Jar and his army of Ewok cultists
We all know Palpatine was simply a pawn of jar jar....as are we all..
His plans are beyond our understanding
Ewok ETERNALS
Yousa know too much...
Thats actualy scares me more than a pureblood sith army.
I actually made up a new Sith mantra/oath: Vengeance & carnage I shall reign all that exists shall know my pain. My passion kept in bondage with these chains, I will not rest until my foes are slain.
I like it, reminds me of Green Lantern!
@@geetslys that immediately came to mind as well lol
Aka...
"Gimme"
That's cringe
5:24 - It's funny that when talking about Vitiate everyone shows an image of Valkorion. I know it was the same guy but as Valkorion he was not only not a sith but also an enemy of the sith. 11:11 - Also it may confuse the sith empire with the eternal empire.
Vitiate was also just remembered as a dude that got killed by a single jedi. Makes sense why Marka Ragnos Chose Naga Sadow and Exar Kun instead of Vitiate. Valkorion as you mentioned was not even a sith.
@@manga925 Yeah, exactly. Tenebrae doesn't even have to be viewed as a sith at all, just a dude who used them.
The true sith empire was always the best to me personally yet they all end up falling anyway
Actually the True Sith Empire in my opinion, was the best and powerful, it literally sacked Coruscant, took half the Galaxy, and gave the Republic a run for their money for countless years. The Imperial troops were the face of discipline, Imperial Intelligence alone was an entity that was scarier than the entire Galactic Empire's forces. The true Sith Empire literally layed ground work right under the Jedi and Senates noses through their Cipher Agents, their Infiltrators, their Sleeper Agents in both the Jedi Order and the Republic Senate. The Galactic Empire compared to the true Sith Empire is like comparing an infant playing with toys to a giant.
+let us not forget that the true sith had to fight the republic during its golden age at the hight of its power whilst palpatine just had to controle a allready corrupt and divided parlament
This Empire isn't Bad, but the original concept for the True Sith was Better for me
Agreed. Only a pity for me is that it was (reckoned to be?) just another tool of Vitiate-Valkorion, who betrayed them for his Eternal Empire (which has crushed the Sith Empire) and had his focus on it
@@mangosteak it was made corrupt by the Sith for centuries after Rusaan
You forgot the One Sith of Darth Krayt, their Sith were really powerfull, and they had a very strong military who beat the Galactic Alliance and the Fell Empire.
True I also thought of that, their military capabilities were also similar to the galactic empire but with a stronger sith presence and less absolute dominance
Honestly that whole thing felt like fanfiction
@@nkosig4995 Although I wasn't a big fan of Star Wars: The Crystal Star it's the only *ONE* thing in the entire Star Wars Expanded Universe I wasn't a fan of (as I loved everything else in the EU with the exception of the former), and I'll take the EU over the shitty fakequels that Disney plopped outta their ass all day and every day.
I'm happy that I'm pirating the entire series of The Mandalorian Season One and Season Two (but not that crappy Season Three), due to the fact that I ain't giving Disney shit.
@@jacenskywalker507 I honestly loved star wars legacy. It was written and presented in a way that it would have been the perfect the clone wars style tv show for legends. The world building was well handled, the story was dark and pretty damn mature and it was a fun read. I had thought to this day that everyone loved legacy but looks like not . I would love more insight into why so maybe you can destroy my childhood nostalgia and bring clarity to me.
Btw same. I ain't giving disney shit they have fucked up whatever star wars was. The mando is good tho we gotta agree on that and for this I'm using a stolen Disney + account
I liked like half of Star Wars Legacy... But I'd have been happy if Darth Krayt just died at that one point. The War part of it was very weak imo. A half of Star Wars Legacy II is also fun, however also suffers from a weak endgame and it is mostly separate from the original Legacy.
I'll always like Revan's Empire the most. If it wasn't for Malak, he would undoubtedly had the biggest and most powerful military the galaxy had ever seen. AND it was for a good cause.
Yup Revan will always be number 1 in my book
And in Revans book
It doesn't matter if it was for a good cause. Because the dark side would inevitably twist whatever good intentions Revan had and turn it into the opposite of what Revan wanted.
@@vetarlittorf1807 He was already far gone by the time he was controlling his empire. But he at the very least controlled it to a point where he used it to combat something greater. There's no reason the dark side would have stopped him from trying to stop an existential threat.
@@feetmusk Maybe, but even if he did somehow manage to overthrow Vitiate, the dark side would just turn him into another Vitiate. The point is that Revan wanted to protect the innocents and fight for freedom, but that's not something he'd be able to do if he was consumed by the dark side. Especially since he was using the Star Forge, a massive dark side nexus.
I’m surprised you didn’t list the Sith Empires of Darth Ruin, Exar Kun, Darth Krayt and Skere Kaan’s Brothehood of Darkness. Sure, the later three did not last long and there is little information on Darth Ruin’s Sith Empire, but they all had made spectacular achievements in Galactic History
The bitter IRONY of the Galactic Empire is that there never would have been a rebel alliance in the first place (or would have been a far weaker version had they started later) if it wasn’t because of Sidious' own meddling
Great video, but you forgot about Exar Kun’s reign as a Sith Lord. It’s understated, but Kun did a pretty good job as a Sith Lord.
Kun accomplished a lot more in a single year than most other iterations of the Sith ever did tbh.
I'm torn between The True Sith Empire and Darth Revan's Sith Empire.
The reason it's a hard choice is because of just how good those two were, even though Revan's only lasted for four years (thanks to Malek.).
As a sidenote: I believe the Warrior and Inquisitor paths were more character creation and likely weren't the only paths available, based on both dialogue as well as Sith encountered throughout the game.
It's a shame really that Malak turned on Revan. His would have been the greatest empire in galactic history, able to crush the True Sith and endure for millennia. Even if Revan had removed primary war materials production from the Star Forge, he kept the major industrial centres of the Republic intact so he could make use of them. Based on his offer to do the same for the Jedi in the Revan novel, I think he would have revolutionized the way dark side users were trained if he had the time. Revan's time was consumed by the war in the early years, and Bastilla's battle meditation kept him occupied after that. And, for the record, Revan could absolutely crush Vader.
Revan VS Vader. Despite Vader being very strong in the force and skilled with a lightsaber. Though he has a high midichlorian count (idk how to spell it) he masters in only a few force abilities while Revan mastered all lightsaber combats and mastered most force abilities, dark and light.
I think that's fair.
The Galactic Empire was way behind in terms of force power, and even military power in some ways, but they won out through sheer genius. Tactics and planning can really make a difference.
Darth Vitiate/Valkorion was ruler of 2 empires at the same time, the eternal empire and the sith empire, he had the Eternal Fleet under his control and said fleet did conquer the entire galaxy, not to mention Valkorion stayed in power for over a thousand years. Valkorion is way above Sidious.
I mean vitiate has to be in contention for number 1 only because of his power and his empire fighting the republic at a time where it wasnt as weak and divided as nan in the clone wars
I also think duration and length are categories that really should have been included too. The biggest problem with revan's order is that it's ultimately just a tool and has no actual longevity or ability to transfer power. Compared to the factions that managed to exist relatively stably for over a thousand years each.
Darth Vitiates empire was the best. He managed to rally the remainder of the old sith empire and over the centuries, managed to turn them into a force that not only fought the old republic, but steamrolled them for the early war through perfect planning and might. Had Revan not pacified Vitiate, he very well could have defeated the old republic. Not the recently militarized clone wars Era republic, but one tempered through nearly half a dozen wars which Vitiate either waited out, or instigated.
Great video, I have wondered how these Empire's would stack up against each other, and now I have a good idea about where they stand compared to each other. I think that Bane's rule of Two left the Sith in a much worse position rather than making them stronger like he claims. It made The Sith extremely vulnerable to destruction. Imagine if Anakin had killed Sidious when he found out he was a Sith Lord? Then The Sith would have died then and there. Eventually The Rule of Two did kill off all The Sith when Vader betrayed his master and died from the shock. I believe that The Galactic Empire was the worst Sith Empire, because it made the greatest mistake, and it was all Darth Bane's fault. The only reason The Sith did not really die out was because a random Jedi turned rotten after Order 66. I would place Revan's Empire on top. After all, Revan was smart enough to destroy The Mandalorian Empire. I think that The true Sith would take second place to Revan's Empire. I really like this video, it was well done. The ranking system was really good, I just disagree.
The galactic empire was the greatest empire but the worst sith empire
Revan 100 percent his empire would slap any empire the only one that could stand against them is vitiates empire
Agreed the sith from kotor 1 to the end of the old republic mmo are the sith at there strongest the only problem with revens empire was without someone like reven or malek or the sith triumvirate to lead them the empire crumbled into dust
I think you overestimate Revan's Empire a bit, considering that it's disregarded that the Galaxy was just ravaged by Mandalorian Wars. Which made the Republic territories, with their military power already strained with loss of Revan's forces, a much easier pick
Both the sith empire and the republic have five incarnations
Republic
1) The Old Republic
2) The Galactic Republic
3) The Galactic Empire
4) The New Republic
5) The Galactic Federation
Sith Empire
1) The Old Sith Empire
2) Revan’s Sith Empire
3) The True Sith Empire
4) The New Sith Empire
5) Krayt’s Sith Empire
Geetsly’s: “The True Sith Empire had many Sith in their ranks but were not nearly as powerful as the Old Sith, with the exception of the immeasurably powerful Darth Vitiate.”
Darth Malgus:
*Am I a joke to you?*
darth nox: let me introduce myself
I would argue that the galactic empire whilest ruled by the Sith isnt inherently a Sith empire as it is designed off of the political norms of the republic and as such doesnt nessacatate the Siths existence to function, basicly they could work just as well or even better with say thrawn or pellion at the head as opposed to sidious, which is not true about any of the other 3 which are inherently Sith in nature and the removal of the Sith would cause the entire system to crumble. As it is the only reason as you said the galactic empire fell after sidious (in canon) is due to operation cinder and in legends the infighting of the various moffs and war lords, however the thrawn trilogy shows perfectly how a strong willed non Sith could unite and run the empire perfectly
Revan's, I'd say. They specifically chose to take over the Sith Empire for the extremely long-term goal of preserving the Republic, which worked.
Everyone else shouted "I WIN" before immediately choking on a chicken bone or some shit.
To be fair Revan's empire was only capable of controlling a third of the galaxy so quickly, because the republic was still recovering from the mandalorian wars and the war against Exar Kun, furthermore most of his military were former members of the republic who saw him as their hero. Anyways with the star forge and his tactical genius he would've conquered the galaxy, it would just take a little longer.
I agree with your rankings, however I would contest that Revan's Sith weren't an actual Empire. They were an imperialist force, certainly, but since they had no governmental structure, no citizenry, no nation state or organized political, legal systems, Revan's forces were not a true Empire. Revan probably would've made an Empire, if he'd managed to conquer the galaxy, but he never got that far.
No one is allowed to question the strength of the galactic empire.
They were weak, they lost against the rebels. I can make a list of flaws, but I won't.
They lost against the rebels and the first order lost to rey lmao
Lost to the plot armor.
Be careful not to choke with your aspirations

6900 nice that was a great line
hehe
NOW NOW ! We are all forgetting Darth JarJar the grand master of it all
I love the Storm Trooper Iwo Jima art at 11:55
I mean, the best Sith order has to be the Rule of Two era, because let's be honest, Palpatine and Vader Got Shit Done: toppled the Republic, destroyed the Jedi Order, ruled the Galaxy for decades
The problem is, what Palpatine and Vader ruled was not a Sith Empire, it was the Galactic Empire. Thats the biggest main issue besides them ruling for only a mere decades while Vitiates True Sith Empire was going for over 1500+ years WHILE ALSO having a second Empire on him too, the Eternal Empire.
The dark side corrupts, but the light blinds.
I’d agree with the list as it is, but if you factor in Valkorion’s second empire (he had two just for fun) he argueably had the best thing going. Not only he had 2 different empires worth of territory, but he had force users like no other starting with himself and he didn’t shy away from using lightsiders even, at least on his eternal empire.
Galactic Empire might have greatest achievements and military, but damn, Revan's Sith Empire had the biggest potential
My favorite sith era is still the old republic when Darth Malgus was in his prime
Zakuul watching the siths: pff, cute.
our boi Valkorion is mildly amused, yep :D
Revans Empire is my favorite..pure military built to fight the ultimate threat...after being betrayed by the Jedi and forging his own army his battle tactics were legendary!👊💥
I believe the old empire was stronger power wise ....but sidious was more intelligent and more militarized then anything
Revan was a genius tho-
@@harrambou9468 he was a tactical genius....thats really about it
@@DaG.O.A.T. well I mean he was a lot more than that
I think a better way to rank empires is territory they controlled and how long they held it.
Revans sith empire will always be one of my most favorite simply because it’s purely military. I’m a military man by nature so of course I’m drawn to revans
The True Sith, obviously. Darth Vitiate was literally one of the most powerful Sith Lords, he took on everyone and probably could have one had Revan not spent 3 centuries poisoning his mind. Or had he just, you know, attacked during the Darkwars rather than waiting for the republic to rebuild.
Alternatively, Revan's empire was also really powerful because of the Star Forge. In the end, the only one able to unmake Revan's empire was Revan himself.
A battle between Studious and Vitiate would be fascinating...
I would rank by stability and length of control. Sideous was the smartest and best conquer in galactic history, and yes his Empire was the strongest, but it was actually the second shortest-lived empire on your list. While the True Sith controlled their core worlds for thousands of years and ruled half the galaxy for almost a thousand years before being absorbed into the Republic. Plus the emperor of the Eternal Empire Darth Vitiate was essentially an immortal being who could drain the life force of worlds, in some ways I even felt that if they did Skywalker better they should have revealed that Sideous was really a remnant of Vitiate, sadly they didn't do that, because that would have been too awesome.
So I would have put the order as "Eternal Empire/True Sith", Ancient Sith, The Galactic Empire, and reluctantly I would add Reven, however, the truth was his "empire" was actually a Dark Jedi military force with sith teachings aimed at the "Eternal Empire" and ready to protect the Galaxy against Vitiate.
Sidious didn't want his empire to have officially anything to do with the sith so I don't get why the hell it had the same symbol as the sith empire....!?
It's not that Palpatine's Empire was the strongest; rather, there was not nearly as much opposition compared to the Old Republic era. Jedi's and regular soldiers were much more powerful and better trained in TOR era than in the OT era, giving the Sith Empire a much harder time. The lack of opposition contributed to Palpatine's success. The fact that Palpatine's Empire fell short in an era where there were hardly any competition means he technically had the weakest one.
I like that you didnt mention the new order.
While I do agree that on average the force users of the true Sith Empire were nowhere near as strong as the force users of the ancient Sith Empire I do believe that their strongest force users like vitiate were on pare with the strongest of the ancient sith
Vitiate was by far even stronger than the ancient Sith, because he literally IS an ancient Sith. He was living in the times of Marka Ragnos, the last ruler of a period known as the Golden Age of the Sith.
@@Valkyraw but he didn’t rise to dominance till after the great hyperspace war during the old Sith empire he was a minor warlord ruling over an insignificant Sith planet
@@tedrpz I wouldnt call him insignificant. A boy who conquered his planet at the age of 13 and was made a Lord by Marka Ragnos himself, who at his time was undefeated, is not insignificant at all.
Great video as always and I would love to see more in depth videos on the of sith personaly
The true Sith Empire is probaly my Favorite but at the end of the day I have to admit that sidious achived the most.
Id say swtor empire was stronger than the Galactic empire, since It managed to survive hundreds of years of war against the republic instead of.. less than 30
Edit: and that was because of its "adaptability", even thought those changes were forced
I think that the eternal empire should have been on this list. They managed to defeat both the republic and the true sith empire at the same time.
But the Eternal Empire is not a "Sith" Empire, though technically, a Sith Emperor was ruling it. It's really too bad that Meeta turned on Revan. If she hadn't, maybe, just maybe there would have been no Vitiate/Valkorion left...
Fun fact about sith lightning, it wouldn't even be possible for THEM to use because of how lightning travels. If you produced enough energy in your fingertips to create lightning it would simply follow the nerve paths in your body straight to the ground through your feet likely killing you and DEFINITELY hurting a lot
The Galactic Empire would annihilate every other empire.
True
Probobly not the Rakatan empire tho
@@EmilioZapatiamo nah, the empire would cush that one.
@@whoareyou98 nahh the infinite empire was massive and could pump out countless weapons of war thru the star forge as well as unlocked its secrets with the dark side. Add to that entire armies of force sensitive rakata as well as any slaves they force to fight for them against stormtroopers and a handful of inquisitors and emperors hands and the galactic empire is gonna have serious issues fighting back against them. The only serious threats would be vader, sidious and some super weapons however I have faith in the rakata given the weapons they've used to devastate entire worlds and the sheer enormity of their empire. Plus given how their tech was powered thru the force itself I'd argue they had some of the most powerful tech ever seen which includes war droids, munitions and their entire navy.
@@whoareyou98 the rakata discovered hyperspace. The only fell due to the fact a plague cut them off their force
You have to give Revan a lot of credit though. He nearly succeeded and If he hadn’t been turned it was very likely that even the true sith or the eternal fleet would have fallen underneath the infinite ranks of Revan’s forces
The Republic will be reorganized into the FIRST GALACTIC EMPIRE!!! For a safe and secure...society *cue epic music
The reconstituted Sith empire
Though the Eternal Empire only conquered both the Republic and True Sith Empire after Valkorion’s “assassination,” I’d give it an honorable mention. I know that it wasn’t technically affiliated with the Sith, but it was still founded by a vessel of Tenebre’s and managed to bring both the Republic and Empire to their knees within two years; at the same time.
Revan was a tactical genius on his own.
"Founded in sixty-nine hundred. -- *NICE!"*
Reaven: "I used the Sith to destroy the Sith"
Ok last video before going to sleep
Sweet dreams!
Heck ya I love the kevin quote "nice"🤣
I'd disagree in calling Reven's Empire the most powerful militarily, even if the technology was equalised the Galactic Empire's militarily was far larger than any of the others, potentially larger than all of them combined in terms of manpower, the ability to project force, fleet size and and especially overall tonnage. Even if you're considering their military power relative to their opponents it's far more powerful.
In facts yes but potentially no. If Revan was not betrayed, the star forge could have built millions of star destroyer in less than a decade. If he had the tech it could have built several death star in the same time the galactic empire built one. Not even mentionning that discipline and skill were very important among revanite soldiers. Those would have crushed storm Troopers. If only because they were used to fight in massive battle against many force users.
@@Gyratus not quite. While the Star Forge represented a huge amount of industrial capacity it wasn't so large as to make the Old Republic's industrial capacity irrelevant even though it was overall more than what the Old Republic could build. But compare that to the industrial bbase of the GE with thousands of years more development and expansion under its belt? The GE almost certainly could have outproduced the Star Forge comfortably.
@@coreymicallef365 Of course. But you forget that the SF does not cos anything, either in resources nor manpower in building. That means that all that manpower and basic resources can be reinvested somewhere else. And of course that the GE has better production it's bigger and way more advanced. But given the chance the Revanite empire could have been incredibly powerful especially in the case the star forge could build other SF.
@@Gyratus it still takes manpower to crew the ships or operate any of the equipment produced by the Star Forge and the GE could equally well reinvest their industrial production into increasing their production rate. The GE is starting at a higher base production, has more manpower, territory and a greater logistical capacity to use to build up their production capacity.
finally vader and sidious get some respect.
i know what youre gonna say and i agree but if the old sith could pull warships from above them with the force (4:30-4:50) then reys feats seem more normal. especially given shes palpy
"6,900 BBY nice"
instant like.
It would be awesome if you were to due a video on some of the legacy era Sith Empires, like Wrylock’s and Krayt’s and more.
The old Sith empire is my favorite because of the godly ancient Sith.
Good old Revan, pretty sure his the best, for the reasons why, and how powerful it was. Even though her personally failed in his goals, he still had success as his crazy war hardened the republic and Jedi for the coming war, got the republics war machine spun up and ready so they could eventually win. Without that, the republic would’ve fallen to vitiate and his schemes using the mandalorians.
Sith empires when the republic doesn't destroy them: *Fine, I'll do it Myself*
Well done my young friend, you have chosen.....well
The old sith empire was just vibing and the republic just crushed them
Whos the bad guy now
To be fair, Naga Shadow didn't help matters. Most of the Sith of his era were cool with the Empire they already had, but the idea of conquering the Republic was too tempting for him.
There was a strap on in that one pic right before revans empire LMFAO🤣🤣🤣
In this video I prefer revan 's sith empire and the galactic empire because these two factions have the most powerful military might however these are just my opinions
Do a Jedi version
Can you make a video of the greatest lightsaber duelists Sith, Jedi or other force users ranked in order then another list of greatest force users. Rank these lists as if they were to combat each other.
Im always for our og galactic empire
Darth Jar Jar!!! 😂😂
I am still waiting for Darth Jar Jar to bare the fruit of his empire. The big Doodoo Empire.
vitiate empire is definitely #1 he brought both the empire and republic to their knees and their seat of power wasn’t threatened until the outlander came to challenge them
Ajunta Pall is a true Sith of culture I see
1:20 lmao
Can you do one on the old Sith Empire? It’s rise and inevitable fall.
The Galactic Empire dwarfs any other previous Empire just through sheer numbers and the vast technological gap alone.
The most powerful Sith lineage should be the Banite line born from the Rule of Two. That's the point of the Banite Sith; they evolved. Valkorion, while powerful, is the most profound singular demonstration on why the Ancients have strayed from the right path. Instead of relying on their own internal strength and will to shape their own power, they intended to bolster their power through artificial means such as nexuses, rituals, artifacts, alchemy, minions or sometimes all at the same time in their misguided quest to indulge themselves within the limited confines of the physical plane.
The Banites did not go that same path-to continue merely scrounging on some dusty old tomes or scrolls, they took it a step further: they tapped into the very essence of the Living Force, bent its will, and began to alter reality itself, very much like Neo in the matrix when he finally starts to see the world as it is; just code.
The Banite Sith had enough vision to understand that they can only ascend by breaking the rules. Plagueis almost perfected this when he nearly mastered life and death through midi-chlorian manipulation, and then Sidious took the reigns from him and expressed his own grandiose power in his own way (Force Storms activated through his sheer will and will alone as well as telekinetically lifting Super Star Destroyers) was.
Exactly 💯 damn right
Palpatine achieved what other sith before him could not as he learned from the mistakes of previous sith lords. And knew that he can't just share his dark side knowledge with everyone in the empire as it would make his empire destroy itself
And yet Vader still ended up(temporarily) killing him then Disney finished the job lol
Imagine being able to kill and give life and then u get killed by someone called sheev.
dont get drunk on the job ;)
So you say "all Sith factions" but you don't mention, as an example, Exar Kun's empire. It definitely should've made this list, as Kun was one of the greatest lightsaber duelists ever and an incredibly powerful force-user, his empire even almost destroyed the republic.
I know they're not Sith, but, in a list on dark side users in general, I think the Rakata would qualify as the most powerful dark side empire ever.
What about the New Sith of the thousand years of Darkness? I know they were actually a conglomerate of separate factions, but I believe that they were one of the most brutal Sith of the galaxy's history. Where would you put them in this tire list?
