Sith Empire

"The true Sith have spent centuries building their strength in the depths of unknown space. The Sith Emperor patiently planned for the day when his Sith Empire would repay the Jedi for the humiliating defeats of the past. In that time, generations of Sith have come and gone, working hard and devoting their lives to the dream of vengeance."


 * ―A HoloNet dossier on the Sith Order.

The Sith, also referred to as the Sith Order, was an ancient religious order of Force-wielders devoted to the dark side of the Force. Driven by their emotions, including hate, anger, and greed, the Sith were deceptive and obsessed with gaining power no matter the cost.

Hopeful
A Sith Hopeful was the first ranking in the Sith Order; they would be like a student to all other rankings. The hopeful would learn about the Force and how to follow the Sith Code respectfully. The Sith Hopeful was not permitted to go outside of the Order at any times, other than having to evacuate.

Acolyte
Sith Acolyte was one of the lowest rank within the Sith Order -- Just above the hopefuls. The term was used to refer to Force-sensitive apprentices who had only just started on the dark path under the tutelage of a more experienced Sith Lord to rightfully bear the mantle of Sith.

Sith
Once a Acolyte proved themselves to their master and gained their own lightsaber, they gain what is referred as the rank of ‘Sith’. Not quite yet a Lord, but past the level of simple Acolyte. They still are mostly under the order of their master but have a bit more freedom and may gain access to their own ship if needed.

Specialization
There are three classes for a Sith to specialized in.

Sith Juggernaut – Sith Juggernauts are specialized in combat endurance and are known for wearing armor that provided them special protection in battle. They mostly rely on lightsaber combat rather than force powers, mostly using enhancement powers rather than actual offensive ones. Nonetheless, they have knowledge of both. Most of the time, you will find Juggernaut on the frontline.

Sith Assassin – Sith Assassins were specialized in stealth and dealing high amounts of damage to enemies in melee combat. They were known to primarily wield double-edged lightsabers in combat, and were adept at concealing themselves with the Force. They generally used the force more in depth than Sith Juggernaut, but rely on it mostly to trick their opponents. You would rarely find a Assassin on the frontline, their missions mostly consist of infiltrating the enemy lines and eliminating precise targets as discreetly as possible.

Sith Inquisitor – Sith Inquisitors specialize in having the most in-depth knowledge of the force of the three specializations inside the Sith Order, and while they might not be able to keep up in lightsaber combat with a Juggernaut or a Assassin, they more than make up for that with the impressive use they make of their force powers, capable of devastating enemies from afar. Sith Inquisitors were more often than not nowhere to be seen on the battlefield- occupied on less combat inclined missions but not of any less importance- however it’s not that odd to see a few ones fighting here and there.

Sith Lord
Once a Sith has gained their specialization and proved their worth within the Sith order to their master, they may gain the rank of Sith Lord. Knights have the ability to take one apprentice under their wing, but only Masters can make their Acolyte a Sith Lord. They still are loosely under the wing of their master and must respond when called for but otherwise have a total freedom of action.

Darth
The title of Dark Lord of the Sith, shortened to Darth, is the ultimate title one can gain within the Sith Order, bestowed upon oneself by the Dark Council itself. One must have accomplished something exceptional to get the honour of gaining this title, and few are the ones that actually gain it. A Darth doesn’t have a master anymore -- if they didn’t kill them already -- and now has total free reign over their actions. It’s not so rare for a Darth to have their own fleet, as all of them must possess a significantly big power base to have gained the rank in the first place.

Emperor
Being the Emperor is the ultimate rank within the Sith Order. The Emperor has ultimate control over everything in the Empire, and can give orders to each of its members. However, they must pay attention to still have the Dark Council on their side, as they could easily be plotted against and replaced with someone else if they totally lost their approval. The Emperor can only take one apprentice, but it is generally regarded as one of the most immense honour of being chosen as Apprentice by the Emperor themselves, and they are granted a lot of privileges. Moreover, the Emperor can also pick his Wrath and Hands, which will go on business by his direct order.

Juggernaut positions
Sith Warrior – These Sith specialized in combat endurance and were known for wearing armor that provided them special protection in battle. Relying on the Force to boost their stamina, They were capable of shrugging off damage that would destroy others. Charging into the thick of combat, Warriors take the brunt of the damage, all the while using the Force to cause terror and despair in enemy combatants. Warriors were even capable of draining the energy of their opponents to further strengthen themselves and their resolve.

Sith Marauder – Whereas Warriors focused on stamina and brute force, Marauders focused on speed and efficiency. Relying on the Force to intuit how to maximize every attack, Marauders cut down their enemies in the blink of an eye. Gearing themselves towards seeing every weakness in their foes and exploiting it to the maximum, Marauders never hesitated nor faltered, and were considered the swiftest bringers of pain and damage in the galaxy.

Inquisitor positions
Sith Sorcerer – The specialization of Sorcerer offered the greatest level of raw Force ability, as these adepts drew their power from the darkest corners of the Force, unleashing volatile energies that could wreak utter devastation against enemies. In addition to this, Sorcerers were capable of healing and bolstering their allies with these same abilities. With the very air around them crackling with energy, powerful Sorcerers had a reputation for torturous retaliations against those foolish enough to get in their way.

Assassin positions
Sith Assassin – Whereas Sorcerers focused on raw power, Sith Assassins preferred a subtler approach. Speed and deception were their tools of the trade, relying on stealth tactics to infiltrate enemy ranks and remove high-profile targets. Even in open battle, Assassins were utterly deadly, relying on both tactical awareness and mind tricks to assault enemies both physically and mentally, manipulating a confrontation to ensure their side maintains the upper hand. While highly skilled with the saberstaff, their weapon of choice for both offense and defense, Assassins could channel the Force just as easily.

Head positions

 * Sith Battlelord – A Dark Lord who is highly skilled in lightsaber combat, and they were the best of the best combat users in the order.
