Would You Describe Dark Empire and its Sequels One Metaseries or a Trio of Miniseries

Hey, I just read Dark Empire and its' sequels and it has come time to put them on my personal sorted 73 entry long ranked list of all star wars content but I am unsure if I should file/rank them as a single 14-issue metaseries or as three seperate titles. I'm wondering how you/the more entrenched comics community classify them.

What defines "one title" can be tricky for the comics series compared to books/tv shows/movies/games.

For similar examples:
-I batched all of Dawn of the Jedi together even though those floppies are numbered 1-5 three times because the TPBs are called "book 1, 2 and 3".
-I batched KotOR - War with the main run even though the floppies numbers start over from 1 as the TPB for War calls it volume 10 of the main KotOR series..
-I batched all of Tales of the Jedi even though there is multiple time settings and arcs with no creative team overlap.
-I rated the four dark horse Vader miniseries separately (Ghost Prison, Lost Command, etc...) even though they were released in short succession and have creative team crossover (kind of like the Dark Empire Trilogy)

I am leaning towards rating them as single work due to the overarching story but if the community very much treats them separately I would maybe go the other way.
