Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
Are we about to be invaded by the Sith? Why are we wasting our money like this?
Sith history start with being invaded by Rakata, and unlike most other species, they actually managed to defend themselves. But they lost the later invasion by jedi renegades and become colonised and genocided. By the time of Palpatine, no original Sith population remains, only a tarnished name.
Also lots of infighting iirc.
Yeah but all that was after jedi invasion, we barely know Sith history before. By the time they enter galactic stage in the Hyperspace War they are already completely colonised. Also at the end of said war iirc Cinnagar empress order entire species be genocided by WMD's, so by the time of SWTOR only few enclaves of them exist and most of the Second and Third Sith Empires are just ordinary humans.
So the Sith are the Star Wars version of Prussians?
Lol essentially yes.
The genocides(by the republic) came later, first they got subjugated and mixed with their conquerors. Otherwise, yes, really horrible history.
