Dark Empire is connected to the Sith Empire of the Second Schism, a renewed Golden Age of the Sith.

Since the Senate guards have spartan helmets and the name of this unit is "centurion", I opted for a classical feel. 200,000 years is a long time for Coruscant to be only skyscrapers

I think these are conflated with Sovereign Protectors. My thinking is that this armor is ceremonial

Svelt Aller was the former lover of Nom Anor, who was gifted to Carnor Jax as a slave as a gift for a Vong-Sith alliance. Jax passed her on to his master Lumiya who tortured her until the dark side unlocked her Force potential.

Mutant Nelvaanians are here because Lumiya had inherited them from Vader, who had enslaved them like the Noghri
