The Great Sith War, also known as the Sith War, the First Sith War, and the Exar Kun War, was a galactic conflict which took place between the years 3,965 and 3,961 BrS. One of the biggest conflicts of the Old Sith Wars, the Great Sith War once again saw the rise of the Sith, who were, once again, in opposition to the Jedi Order. The roots of the war can be traced back to the fall of Freedon Nadd from the Jedi way and his ascent to Dark Lord of the Sith. Eventually, centuries after his death, Nadd's dark influence was discovered on the planet Onderon, and the ensuing battle saw the Jedi temporarily break the dark lord's grip on the Inner Rim world; this fight against the resurgent power of the Sith was a warning to the Jedi that something dangerous was brewing.
