About half of things.
The total amount of colonized space increased noticeably after they fell, btw. There was a fair amount of expansion in the last 1k years before the GE- and even some during and after it's rise.

Yea, and force-wielder wise, they're outnumbered, what, 1000:1?
"Has some force people" doesn't mean an equivalent amount.
I do believe all those together adds up to the low-hundreds at best- and some of those are specifically fairly untrained in the force, like Royal Guard. Prophets are seers, not fighters, and so on.
Sidious was purposefully not spreading dark-side teachings. He taught individuals enough to do their job and that's it. Even high-rank Inquisitors were held back from the best training- Jerec wanted to be Sith but was withheld the knowledge of the stronger techniques while Vader lived.
Also define Sith Assassin.
Sith force users trained in assassination or at least skilled enough generally to do so.
What info do we exactly have, that makes the nameless Sith dudes superior to the guys that Palps has?
They're more force powerful than all the mundane agents and outnumber all the force users by orders of magnitude.
Numbers wise, I get it, sure that's a no brainer. But I don't think that the average Sith dude is gonna be flat out superior to everyone in the GE.
Force users are superior to non force users the vast majority of the time. That's how force users work.
While the odd super elite mundane agent is good enough to compete, they're usually just as rare as force users.
Q I'm not sure I'm speaking right here...
I get that they are powerful. But to what extent is what I'm asking, just because someone is a Force User doesn't mean a Non-Force User can't take them out.
It depends on the level and skill of both. Otherwise, we wouldn't have cases of Non-Force Users, taking out Jedi/Sith and so forth.
Also what I meant by define Sith Assassin, I'm meaning give an example of a Sith Assassin, how powerful they are and all that. Because I'm not recalling any in the SE, but I haven't played through the storylines in quite some time.
Also I know the GE don't have the same amount of Force Users, I said that. As per the Royal Guard, sure the standard Royal Guardsmen aren't Force Sensitive, but they have the Shadow Guards and Sovereign Protectors which are and even then a Royal Guard is capable of taking on a Jedi given all the information about them, they can also resist The Force to a degree.
So yes, the SE do have the Force User advantage.
But my main question is...how powerful are the nameless Sith guys? Because I don't see how the average Sith dude is > to every guy in the GE. If so, then they should be stomping everything in TOR save for the Jedi, which they aren't doing so.
First of all...we should probably rule assassinations out. While Sidious is banned from participating, if the Sith Empire is fool enough to send assassins after him, there's only one way that can end.
I doubt they'll even take Vader out, given Vader's showings against masses of scrub jedi.
Are we assuming the GE is as it is at ROTJ? With everyone at the ages and training levels they had at ABY 4?
Oh, yeah. Don't forget Galen Marek/Starkiller, should the GE be set in a year that has him.
Or is it at ANH levels, with everything as is in ABY 0?

I'm just going with prime really.
Speaking of, good luck for any SE fleet trying to take out the Executor and its fleet. Because that right there, is gonna be nigh impossible.
