Throughout their history, the Sith Order brought into being multiple sovereign entities, the majority of which were commonly referred to as the Sith Empire:
- Following the Hundred-Year Darkness, the Sith Empire came into being. Naga Sadow, a Sith Lord, was a member of this Sith Empire, which took part in the Great Hyperspace War.
- The Sith Empire was established by the fallen Jedi, Exar Kun.
- The Sith Empire was established by the Sith Lord known as Darth Siberus.
- Before the rise of the Galactic Republic, the Brotherhood of Darkness, also known as the Sith Empire, existed as a Sith army. Its collapse prompted Darth Bane to create the Rule of Two. (dissolved 1032 BBY)
- The Confederacy of Independent Systems, also known as the Separatists, was secretly controlled by Darth Sidious and Darth Tyranus, even though it wasn't technically a "Sith Empire". (24 BBY—19 BBY)
- From the remnants of the Galactic Republic, the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Sidious founded the Galactic Empire. The presence of the Sith was a state secret, so it was not regarded as a "Sith Empire". (Sith rule: 19 BBY—4 ABY)
- While it wasn't considered a "Sith Empire," the First Order was covertly under the control of Darth Sidious and the Sith Eternal. (21 ABY—35 ABY)
- The Sith Eternal created the Final Order, also called the Sith Eternal fleet, the Sith Empire, the New Order, or the New Empire, which consisted of a Sith fleet of Star Destroyers. (dissolved 35 ABY)
- Following their triumph over the invading Rakata and their relocation to the nearby planet Ziost, the Sith of Korriban established the Sith Empire, also called the Kingdom of the Sith. (28,000 BBY—27,000 BBY)
- Dark Jedi who had been banished from the Galactic Republic following the Hundred-Year Darkness founded the Sith Empire. (6900 BBY—5000 BBY)
- During the Great Sith War, Exar Kun's Brotherhood of the Sith formed the Sith Empire. (3997 BBY—3996 BBY)
- During the Jedi Civil War, there existed Darth Revan's Sith Empire. (3959 BBY—3956 BBY) The Sith Triumvirate, a loose alliance of what remained of Revan's Empire (3954 BBY—3950 BBY)
- From the wreckage of the "First" Sith Empire, Darth Vitiate ( Tenebrae ) established the reconstituted Sith Empire, also known as the true Sith. It was hidden until the Great Galactic War. (4980 BBY—3636 BBY) The New Empire of Darth Malgus formed from forces of the above empire during the Galactic War. (3640 BBY)
- The fallen Jedi Darth Ruin established the New Sith Empire, sometimes referred to as the reorganized Sith Empire, during the New Sith Wars (2000 BBY—1010 BBY) The Brotherhood of Darkness, founded by Skere Kaan, took the place of the fragmented Sith Empire. (1010 BBY—1000 BBY)
- Darth Sidious and Darth Tyranus secretly controlled the Confederacy of Independent Systems, also known as the Separatists, even though it wasn't officially a "Sith Empire". (24 BBY—19 BBY)
- Although the presence of the Sith was kept a state secret, Darth Sidious founded the Galactic Empire from the Galactic Republic, though it wasn't considered a "Sith Empire". (Sith rule: 19 BBY—4 ABY) The Dark Empire, a faction also ruled by Palpatine which, like a traditional Sith Empire, was ruled with the Emperor's allegiance to the dark side not being hidden. Formed from remnants of the Galactic Empire. (4 ABY—11 ABY)
- The Galactic Federation of Free Alliances under the political reign of Darth Caedus was not officially regarded as a Sith Empire, similar to the Galactic Empire. Formed from the New Republic that took the place of the First Galactic Empire. (Sith rule: 40 ABY—41 ABY)
- Following the conclusion of the Sith–Imperial War, Darth Krayt established Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire, also known as the Darth Krayt's Sith Empire, as the successor to Darth Sidious' Galactic Empire. Sith rule was public in this case, in contrast to its original form, so it was formally recognized as a Sith Empire. (130 ABY—138 ABY)
