Relationships
Sith
It was Sidious who executed the long-percolating plan of supplanting the Republic with a new Sith Empire. Sidious subverted democracy in the galaxy, and made the Jedi enemies of the state.
Palpatine
Using his Sith skills of manipulation, Sidious masterminded the Clone Wars and most of the events that led to his public persona, Palpatine, becoming Supreme Chancellor and eventually Emperor.
Darth Vader
Darth Vader pledged his loyalty to Darth Sidious as the Clone Wars came to an end. Kneeling before his dark master, Vader assumed the mantle of Dark Lord of the Sith. His first assignment was to wipe out the Jedi Temple. After Vader was defeated by Obi-Wan Kenobi and suffered severe injuries, his power was diminished. Darth Sidious rebuilt his apprentice, but kept his sickly yellow eye open for another who could take his place.
Yoda
As the reigning Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Sidious is a sworn enemy of Yoda. As Sidious plotted to take over the galaxy, he knew that he would one day have to eliminate Yoda. Shortly after Sidious declared himself Galactic Emperor, he battled Yoda in a destructive duel in the heart of the Galactic Senate chambers.
Nute Gunray
Darth Sidious arranged for the Trade Federation, under Nute Gunray's rule, to blockade and invade the peaceful planet of Naboo in protest over increased taxation from the Senate. Sidious never contacted the Neimoidians directly. Instead, he relied on holographic communication.
