4904 BBY: Galactic Timeline: Record 11: Rebirth of the Sith Empire

For this short post I watched another video featured on swtor.com.  It's called Rebirth of the Sith Empire.    One of the things that continues to amaze me about the Sith is how resilient they are.  On numerous occasions the Sith have been thought to be extinct only to come back and attack their enemy again.  The Sith also know how to hold a grudge very well.  That all started when they met up with the Republic for the first time.  From that moment, the epic battle began. Now, lets get to this video.

The video is narrated by Master Gnost-Dural.  He speaks of the very first Grand Moff and the role that he played in reviving the Sith Empire to its former glory.  This Moff is Odile Vaiken.  He played key roles in the expansion of the Sith Empire on Dromund Kaas and the rebuilding of the Sith navy.  One of the operations that he played a particpated in was when the Sith were killing the vicious creatures that were native to Dromund Kaas so that more room could be made for the rapidly growing Empire.  Vaiken also played a key role om rebuilding the Sith army.  Vaiken died during a mission that's objective was to conquer an alien role.

Master Gnost-Dural said that the Emperor played a small role in what Vaiken was doing.  I've read the Old Republic book Revan and it seems that the Emperor in that novel was much like the one that is in this video.  What I mean by this is that no one really knows much about him.  I guess this is his way of hiding his immense powers from everyone and only using them if someone rises up against him.  Now that I think about it further, most of the Emperors that I know of (like Emperor Palpatine) played a role in the beginning of reviving their Empire but soon vanished only to appear to give instructions.  I may be wrong with these statements because I don't really know what Palpatine was doing "behind the scene" of his rule, but there may also be some truth in what I have said.  I look forward to finding out.

For my next post I will be reading Knights of the Old Republic #33: Vindication.  Until my next post, may the Force be with you..........
