At the end of the conflict, the Jedi were victorious and the Sith were banished.

This led to the birth of the Sith, and a war between the Jedi and the Sith known as the Hundred Year Darkness. It was during the early days of the Old Republic that a faction of the Jedi broke away from the Jedi Order to embrace the dark side of the Force, a practice that was forbidden by the Order. The reach of the government now referred to as the Old Republic expanded as time went on, and eventually, it established its capital on the planet Coruscant. The Old Republic era takes place several thousand years prior to the first movie in the Skywalker saga, Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace.
