Old Sith Wars

This period encompasses several significant conflicts, including the Great Sith War (3996 BBY), the Mandalorian Wars (3976 BBY–3960 BBY), the Jedi Civil War (3959–3956 BBY), the Sith Civil War (3956–3950 BBY), the Dark Wars (3955–3951 BBY), the First Jedi Purge (3954–3951 BBY), and the Onderon Civil War (3951 BBY).

These nearly uninterrupted 50 years of warfare brought the Galactic Republic to the brink of collapse and almost completely destroyed the Jedi Order. Despite this, the Republic ultimately persevered, eliminating, at least temporarily, threats such as the Mandalorians, the Krath, and the Sith. Due to these prolonged and brutal conflicts, the citizens of the galactic community developed a stronger will, and the Republic emerged with increased strength.

Key individuals during the Old Sith Wars include Ulic Qel-Droma, Exar Kun, Nomi Sunrider, Kreia, Mandalore the Indomitable, Mandalore the Ultimate, Revan, Malak, Bastila Shan, and Meetra Surik.

Although the major battles of the Old Sith Wars concluded by the end of the Sith Civil War, the Kanz Disorders (3970–3670 BBY) persisted for almost three centuries following the Republic's victory and the Sith's defeat.

A significant technological advancement during the Old Sith Wars was the Navigation computer. Following the Great Sith War, it became widely available during the Restoration Period, quickly rendering the Hyperspace beacon system outdated.
