Which period of the galactic history is the golden era for the Sith?

Number of force users, political success, overall military power, overall force powers and stuff like that should matter in this.

Which Sith state overall gained the most success in these concepts and perhaps in other ones?

Wouldn't Marka Ragnos' time be the default answer, since it was actually labeled "The Golden Age of the Sith"?

I am aware of that but I wouldn't just end it there with these limiting quotes. I find it quite hard to believe that since they were extremely passive and had no galactic dominance or a well organized imperial structure. Their Dark Lord isn't even in top 5 strongest sith and there are only a few other sith that we know of from that era.

I'd Say Ajunta Pall's era maybe? if not than Galactic era sith achieved the greatest feat in the mythos.

Interesting one. I was expecting this to go as Vitiate's empire vs Sidious' empire so if you have any theories on Pall's era, I'd love to hear it.

Kun's a pretty impressive sith but his organization didn't matter much.

As far as success goes, probably when the Grand Plan came to fruition. As far as numbers go, probably SWTOR era.

Well there isn't much knowledge on them, but they - and by they I mean Ajunta Pall, did rule unchallenged for years I believe. not to mention they were the very first Dark Jedi and they basically started the entire sith movement. also because of this many Humans and Sith(the race) mated and created powerful hybrids Like Ragnos himself. Not enough to warrant them having the title of Golden Era, but in my opinion the sole fact that they established themselves as Masters of the sith makes them a powerful era 🙂

Xendor preceded Pall.

Yes true. I'd see this era in top 5 at most though since there are so many other great sith eras and we lack info on the most ancient ones.

Ragnos' era. This is confirmed in some books as well.

The Sith state that matches most of these criteria is undoubtedly the Sith empire under Darth Krayt, if only for the fact that it comes the closest to matching the unparalleled success of the Galactic Empire and the Sith were legion.

Good logic.

Sidious' sith is superior to all in most criterias but the lack force users pull it down. Krayt's sith state is definitely top 3 perhaps no. 1 like you said.

I am very impressed with Vitiate's sith because of the caliber of the characters and there were thousands of them. Also in the story, Sidious' awesome imperial structure is based on SWTOR sith. They caused quite the devastation too even if they didn't reach galactic domination.

Infallible logic, my son, and as if I'm capable of anything else. uhuh

I'd say it's pretty hard to argue otherwise.

Viti's empire is prolly number three.

Not when it comes to TOR characters. 😎

I understand your logic but I think its more debatable than you think

Definitely in top 3 but I am not sure where it stands in top 3.

Ajunta Pall's era had some tremendously powerful sith, but they also were largely in a defensive war.

The Galactic Empire may be good, but it only had two sith, so that limits things ^^

Hm, Vitiate's seems a natural choice, what with so very many sith around and having a strong role in the galaxy including a time of peace.

Number of force users, political success, overall military power, overall force powers and stuff like that should matter in this.

To go through each:

Number of force users, Vitiate's, probably followed by the New Sith Wars and then One Sith.

Political success, maximum area of success, Sidious followed by Krayt. Length of success, the New Sith Wars kept a major sith empire in play in the galaxy (i.e. holding a large portion, not just having a small corner) for the longest time.

Overall military power, Probably Krayt Empire due to advances in tech / force-based weaponry coming into play. The only other contender is the Galactic Empire. No-one else comes close to those two.

Overall force powers, Vitiate's or Hundred Year Darkness I'd think. The HYD dark siders after all were the culmination of a time of experimentation in the force and they came up with some crazy stuff.

Number of force users, Vitiate's, probably followed by the New Sith Wars and then One Sith.

Yes what gives Vitiate's empire the edge is also how powerful the sith were. Many amongst them could very well be the dark lords of other eras.

Agreed.

I'd go with Vitiate's empire for the reasons stated above and the sith sorcery was insane in that era. Dread Masters by themselves are enough to prove this.

Yea, but on the flip side, Muur's sorcery is a gigantic threat, it's the era that invented leviathans, etc..

Though granted, that's a smaller number of uber sorcerers. Pretty much just the big 5 I'd think.
