Origins
When a large number of members left SW-Fans.Net to form CoruscantCity.Net, the primary Sith group at the time, The Sith Council (led by Itala Marzullo) also left to join the new board. A handful of members who decided to remain on SW-Fans.Net restarted the roleplaying, first by creating a new Jedi group titled The Jedi Council (named after the original Jedi group that had left). TSE had its humble beginnings back in July/August 1999 under two posters called Darth Sidious and Mara Jade1. They preferred to roleplay as Sith characters, and followed the Jedi example and setup a Sith group which was also titled after the original group, The Sith Council.
Naming 'The Sith Empire'
In August 1999, Sith roleplayer Darth Fenris became the official leader of the group and under his leadership the group was rechristened The Sith Empire, a name that is used to this day. The group would end up becoming the main Sith roleplaying group on SW-Fans.Net until the group's leaving in June 2002.
Early Leaders
1. Darth Fenris
2. Lady Mara Jade
3. Bromine
4. Rama Sha
Eventually Rama Sha surrendered the sole leadership and instead implemented a council leadership body with it's members being voted upon by the group membership. The council system is still followed to this day.
