Sacking of Coruscant

In 3,653 BBY, an attack was launched on Coruscant by the Sith Empire, which later became known as the Sacking of Coruscant.

The Empire had called upon the Galactic Senate to be present at a |peace conference on Alderaan, though this was only to hide the Sith's true intentions. Darth Angral had assassinated Supreme Chancellor Berooken during the peace conference, which would alert the Jedi and the Galactic Senate that the peace conferences were only a distraction and headed back to Coruscant. However, Darth Malgus had already launched an attack on the Jedi Temple with his soldiers, killing many Jedi.

The Sith now had complete control over the Republic's capital. The Sith Council then "proposed" a treaty that only favored them. After the signing of the treaty, the 200 surviving Jedi had to go to Tython in exile. As a result of the treaty, every Senator had to have a Sith-controlled and made protocol droid so that the Sith can be sure that the Republic didn't break the treaty.
