The most likely solution is an individual in which GL has not yet named, or the EU has not yet created. To our knowledge, we do not know of a Sith, outside of Palpatine himself, that has conquered the galaxy. Revan was close, but he doesn't count. You said this yourself.
How is it that whenever someone creates a thread in the versus forum with a matchup that is obvious, they get flamed for it. But when someone creates a thread and spouts out an answer that is clearly incorrect, they are lauded for their efforts? I find that rather amazing.
Well because dickweed, I was merely asking a question not saying that "Palpatine MUST be talking about Revan" or any bullshit like that. Next, Revan IS the closest we know of and I'm talking SOLELY in the SW universe, not in the real universe where Lucas hasn't made up anyone yet. Obviously Sidious knows that the Sith once ruled the galaxy and he must know who. I was wondering if someone knew that it was Darth X or Darth Y, etc. but no one does so the closest thing we have to that is Darth Revan now isn't it?

Perhaps incorrect is a bit too harsh of a term, as he did recant his idea as not fully accurate. But there is no reason to mention Revan's name if he did not accomplish the task he alluded to (taking over the galaxy).
As it's been said before, it is far more likely that the individual Sids is referring to has not been named, or is an individual that has been named in passing, but has never been elaborated.
The SW universe is far from closed, there are many more EU characters and events we have no knowledge of and in which GL and those with a hand in the enterprise have not revealed.
It's the closest thing WE have, it's not the closest thing HE has, now is it? I don't understand your obsession to have every single answer, there is no need for an omniscient SW guru other than Mr. Lucas.
Edit:
Funny how you were viewing the thread, saw yourself proved wrong, and then left; I'm sorry, but you could at least 'fess up. I thought you were a "master debater", after all.

I don't care who Lucas was referring to since he didn't name who. I was asking WHO, not "an unnamed somebody" and Revan is still the closest thing we have and guess what, he could still do it too since we don't know when he dies or anything about it.

I won't disagree. I've never once said that Revan didn't come close, or he was a figure that would be very interesting to look at in the future. However, I did state that mentioning his name at this point in time is pointless, because practically everyone knows of what he has done, and he did not quite accomplish what you are alluding to. For all we know, Sids could be referring to some entity immediately after the split, or even during the infancy of the Old Republic.
I have no issue with the fact you believe he was close. I believe he was close. Revan did practically have the Galaxy at his knees, but he didn't rule over it by KotOR II, and you know that as well.
My qualm is that by making a thread, and then MENTIONING Revan, even when a moderator said "he didn't conquer it", it just seems to be a gratuitous case of peddling for your favorite character.
Like I stated, if someone makes a thread in the versus forum with a matchup of characters where he heavily favors one, he is likely to be flamed for making a poor matchup. Where's the consistency?
Again, I'm not trying to praise Revan, the only reason I included him is because he had the galaxy at it's knees and reportedly left a year later. Now it's extremely unlikely but possible that he ruled the galaxy for a very brief amount of time in this year especially since he had by far the strongest army.
As for what Ushgarak said, he also ended that with a question mark asking me if he did or not.
I'm not heavily favoring Revan in this aspect, the whole point of this thread was originally to see if anyone knew if there was some Sith that ruled the galaxy and Revan was the closest I knew of and possibly had so I threw in his name to see if anyone had undoubtedly done it or not.

Thanks for the clarification. I can respect an individual that wishes to provoke ideas; I felt that you may have made a thinly veiled attempt to promote Revan.
Is it possible that Revan did briefly rule the galaxy, especially since we don't know the rest of his story? yes. But as of right now, no one, except perhaps those with insider positions, knows of that. And even so, is it absolutely him that Palps is referring to? Not necessarily.
The one conclusion we can draw is that the Sith has one ruled the galaxy, if only for a brief interlude between regions. We are unsure of the rest of the facts, so the question is more, no one on here would know the answer for certain.
