The Xim Empire rose and fell quickly in the aftermath of the fall of the Rakata's Infinite Empire. He controlled his conquests through his much-feared secret police, the GenoHaradan, and the use of terror tactics such as mass executions. During the first ten years of Xim's reign (his Expansionist Period), he conquered most of the Tion Cluster, including the Livien League which contained the world Desevro. Xim's empire eventually stretched from the Radama Void to the Maw and numbered thousands of worlds.
It might have been conflict over criminal interests, competing territorial ambitions in the Si'Klaata Cluster, or both which brought Xim into conflict with the Hutts. In 25,105 BBY, Xim devastated the lush Hutt world of Ko Vari. At the First Battle of Vontor, his fleet was demolished by the Hutts. Privateers hired by the Hutts harassed Xim's shipping, sapping his materials and leading him to handle logistics in an increasingly paranoid fashion, sending secret shipments to fortified bases. 25,100 BBY, Xim was defeated by Kossak the Hutt at the Third Battle of Vontor, when his armies, already short of ordnance due to privateering harassment, were surprised by the Hutts' recently acquired Klatooinian, Nikto, Weequay, and Vodran allies. Xim died a slave in the dungeons of Kossak on Evocar, but Tionese accounts claim that he was treacherously killed at Vontor.
Now all that remains of a once devastating force is the occasional droid warship which continues to exterminate any non-Xim vessels it crosses paths with. These ships are known as the Remnants of Xim.
