| abstract | - The Grand Marshal Crisis was a two-year period in which an insidious figure called the Grand Marshal emerged, attacked and destroyed key New Republic bases, gaining a stranglehold on the Outer Rim, while also carving a path to Coruscant by conquering several worlds in the Inner Rim and Expansion Region, nearly reaching the Core Worlds. Unlike other conflicts, the Marshal's aims were not to reconstruct the Galactic Empire, but rather, with the aid of ancient Sith Lord Darth Opacus, to build a new Sith Empire. In fact, a suggested name for the crisis by Republic historians was the Second Sith Crusade, but this was overruled.
