The Order of the Dark Hand, also known as the Sith or Sith Order, is the Force-using branch of the Galactic Empire.

Structure

The Triumvirate

The Order of the Dark Hand is led by a Triumvirate of Sith Lords. The Triumvirate functions as a sort of council which oversees all aspects of the Order of the Dark Hand, and makes the decisions that affect the group as a whole, directing and streamlining it with the aims of the Galactic Empire.

Beneath them are the three branches of the Order, the "Sith," "Krath," and "Obsidian Temple."

The Sith

The Sith Branch is essentially the paramilitary aspect of the Order, and focuses on the more physical host of powers offered by the Dark Side. They are the fist of the Order, and are often on the front lines, participating in, and sometimes leading Imperial military engagements.

The Krath

The Krath Branch focuses on the more refined aspects of the Dark Side. Delving into the deeper meanings of the Force, the Krath branch encompasses a study of Sith History, and are often the minds behind many of the advancements seen in the Order.

The Obsidian Temple

The Obsidian Temple sees to the final aspect of the Order: Training. All new inductees work their way through the Obsidian Temple, and see to the allocation of masters and the assignment of apprentices.

Internal Ranks

Internally, members of the Order have various ranks in an internal hierarchy that they are known to each other as. These ranks are:

• Dark Lord of the Sith
• Darth
• Lord
• Apprentice

To all outsiders, all Sith are known simply as Lord or Darth.
