An Odyssey Through 6000 Years of Betrayal, Domination, Power & Capitulation: Chronicles of the Sith

Hyper Space War would be a good place to start. The only about that is that you may have to do like 6 movies for that sort of event. But it’s a good place to start since the Sith were already somewhat established in their own area before encountering the republic.

It feels as if Exar Kun was a bit misrepresented here, I just don’t think you really emphasized how much he tried to resist the dark side and how grounded he was in the light. Albeit his curiosity about the Sith didn’t help but that’s all it was, curiosity… until Freedon Nadd. Not to mention the multiple times he attempted to use the light after his encounter in Nadd’s tomb. It took almost dying to force him to truly accept the dark side.

Important addition to the 7. Battle of Ruusan: Jedi Master Farfalla was only able to break the Sith blockade, because of Bane. Bane ordered Admiral Nyras to attack the Jedi fleet which resulted in the break of the blockade. Without this move by Bane, the Jedi would've been defeated on Ruusan. I would argue that the Sith were once again their own worst enemies. Without Bane, the Sith under Kaan would be able to destroy the Republic and the Jedi. It's unsure if this victory would have lasted long, but Kaan's approach to Sith ideology was much more sustainable than Bane's. Bane's philosophy worked well for a thousand years, but it fell apart shortly after the Sith were victorious. In short: The dark side will always lose.
