a more recent event: The sacking of Coruscant
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdgmH9Vv2-Ithis lead to the "Treaty of Coruscant" which is tenuous and barely holding together a ceasefire between the Sith Empire and the Old Republic. Lots of action going on, fighting, etc just not direct conflict on a large military scale.
(behind the scenes) reasons each side signed:
Old Republic got caught way off guard (as usual) and took heavy early losses, need time to regroup
Sith - conducted Blitzkrieg of planets, but didn't have the infrastructure to hold it all. Not enough manufacturing, supply, etc. They actually need the ceasefire too - as they expended most of the resources it took them 300 years to build up in secret on their initial attacks.
Besides a large number of fringe worlds, Sith sacked or occupied several key Republic Core worlds:
Coruscant - sacked, Jedi relocated to ancient temples at Tython
Corelia - sacked, looted, occupied (barely)
Balmorra - conquered and occupied
Ord Mantel - sacked, conquered, abandoned - currently in total unrest
Alderaan - current Civil War for power between House Organna (Rep) and House Thul (Sith backed)
just some quick info
