The Sith Eternal, also known as the Cult of the Sith Eternal, are the overarching antagonists of the Star Wars sequel trilogy. They are a cult of Sith worshippers who were founded before or during the age of the Galactic Empire and led by Emperor Palpatine, who would continue to do so upon his resurrection after the Empire was defeated at the Battle of Endor and the second Death Star was destroyed.
They used the First Order as a distraction while they built up a massive fleet of Xyston-class Star Destroyers outfitted with axial superlasers. This Sith fleet was called the Final Order, and was built to allow the Sith to once again conquer the galaxy and regin supreme through a new Sith Empire.
History[]
Following the defeat of the Galactic Empire at the Battle of Endor, which saw the destruction of the second Death Star, the resurrected Sheev Palpatine retreated into the Unknown Regions with a collection of his followers to rebuild his fleet. From the shadows, he formed the First Order through his creation Snoke to antagonize the New Republic and distract from his real plans, to build up an extremely large fleet of Xyston-class Star Destroyers, the Final Order, and use them to swoop in and conquer the galaxy once more, in an attempt to build a new Sith Empire.
The Sith Lord was eventually defeated by his secret granddaughter Rey and suffered his final death when she directed her grandfather's Force lightning back upon him. After Palpatine died, the remaining Sith Eternal both on the surface of Exegol and the Sith fleet were decimated. A number of uprisings took place across the galaxy, causing the rapid collapse of the First Order. The death of Palpatine and the destruction of the Sith Eternal had prevented both the rebirth of the Sith Order and the establishment of the new Sith Empire.

- Unlike in the old Galactic Empire, where the Sith leadership was a secret to the public, the Sith Eternal that would form the new Sith Empire would have their Sith leadership openly seen by everyone.
