I am not an expert of pre-KOTOR EU but I am pretty sure you are wrong about Sith being biologically pure Sith at the time of Naga Sadow. Sadow was a mix between original Sith and human... as almost all other Sith at that time. I am not sure about this again, but the EU story goes that some exiled Jedi mingled with them thousands of years before.

Yes, you're right -- the Sith of the Sith Empire weren't all pure Sith. I was generalizing, though, as most of the lower-ranking Sith appeared to be pure Sith with only the Lords showing any mixed heritage, and even then, Naga Sadow is the only one who really has any human features.

TOR just followed it by simply saying that there were more humans in the Empire (workers, soldiers) than Sith and that the Sith genes were eventually outweighed, therefore majority of imperial look human at that time. So essentially all the imperial humans still have a percentage of Sith genes.

In other words, they're watering down what was once a unique take on the Sith in order to mesh it with the prequels because the prequels are just oh-so-good and everything has to reflect it.

Yuck.

As for Empire having many species, that is just wrong. TOR portrays the Empire extremely anti-alien (Sith are not counted as aliens of course).

Well, I was going off of this picture.

And she's a Zabrak, not a human or Sith (as an aside, I have to say I love the purple lightsaber).

Btw have you seen this Galactic History from the SWTOR website? If not you may go through them and see how they connected everything.

I gave up caring about the modern EU and its plethora of stupid "square peg through a round hole" retcons years ago.
