Sith Warrior Sith Warriors , described as " an unstoppable force of darkness " , were combat specialists of the Sith Empire , and served as the champions of the battlefield , entrusted with the task of destroying the Empire ’ s enemies and enforcing Sith domination across the galaxy . Trained to rely on the emotions of fear , anger , and hatred to improve their connection to the dark side of the Force , channeling its power through their bodies and purging weakness from themselves . In contrast to the Sith Inquisitor s , Warriors had little patience for careful planning , and wasted no time with such manipulations . Instead , they demanded absolute obedience from their followers , relying on power and intimidation to attain their ends . However , such blunt methods did not reduce them to single - mindedness , and Sith Warriors had been known to go renegade in order to pursue their own agendas . The Sith were known for their red lightsabers . Overview . The combat specialists of the returned Sith Empire , Sith Warriors channel their anger and hatred to purge their body and mind of weakness , and focus on becoming beings of pure and lethal efficiency . Determined to eradicate the Jedi Order and rule the galaxy through fear and intimidation , Warriors have little patience for the calculated and careful planning favored by many of their compatriots , preferring instead to simply crush their foes . They demand absolute loyalty from their followers , and in turn demonstrate such traits towards their own Sith masters , often surprising enemies and allies alike with their self - discipline and strong sense of honor . Some Sith Warriors have been known to go renegade and pursue their own agenda , though all such Darksiders can be trusted to never be far from the action . Their fierce hatred of the Jedi ensures that they will be at the forefront of any conflict with the Galactic Republic , though this uncompromising bloodlust does not render them tactless and single - minded . Due to their passionate dedication to their goals , Sith Warriors are natural leaders , inspiring both fear and undying loyalty amongst their allies . While they have little patience for failure , Warriors understand the need for strength in numbers against their foes . Armor and Armaments . While Sith Warriors relied heavily on the strength of the Force for their power , their approach to combat was very pragmatic , and they had no compunction about heavy armor or cybernetic augmentations . In fact , Warriors often favored such dangerous and experimental technologies , with the goal of imbuing themselves with great physical strength and fortitude . As far as their armament goes , Sith Warriors typical wielded standard lightsabers . However , in keeping with their pragmatic mindset , their lightsabers often featured more technical , squared - off designs , especially in comparisons to the more esoteric models favored by Sith Inquisitor s , or the more rounded Jedi lightsabers . However , as their entire equipage is geared towards forcing opponents onto the defensive , Warriors have been known to favor more unorthodox lightsaber disciplines , such as dual - blades . All in all , a Sith Warrior ' s equipment and weaponry is designed to accentuate his / her combat prowess . Combat Tactics . In terms of their own combat training , Sith Warriors utilize bold lightsaber combat tactics and sudden bursts of Force powers , designed to force opponents onto the defensive before killing them . Considered unrivaled lightsaber duelists , Warriors utilize combat forms geared towards brute force , hammering their foes into submission with strong , crushing blows . Though their lightsaber is their prime method of attack , Sith Warriors do not neglect their skills in other areas of the Force , using it to paralyze , terrify , and kill . Protected by their heavy armor , Sith Warriors charge into the fray and release their anger and hatred against all who stand against them . Specializations . Sith Juggernaut . 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 , Juggernauts were capable of shrugging off damage that would destroy others . Charging into the thick of combat , Juggernauts take the brunt of the damage , all the while using the Force to cause terror and despair in enemy combatants . Juggernauts were even capable of draining the energy of their opponents to further strengthen themselves and their resolve . Sith Marauder . The term " Sith Marauder " originally referred to all Sith combat specialists , though it eventually came to refer specifically to this specialized division of them . Whereas Juggernauts focus on stamina and brute force , Marauders focus 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 hesitate nor falter , and are considered the swiftest bringers of pain and damage in the galaxy . They specialize in dual - lightsaber combat , a fighting form they utilize with unmatched aggression . History . A war - like organization , the Sith have long made use of combat specialists , who focus on strength and power through rage , though at the cost of a more in - depth understanding of the Force . One of the early Sith Lords styled himself as a Sith Warrior . The Sith Triumvirate trained such warriors at the Trayus Academy on Malachor V , referring to them as " Sith Marauders " . This was one of the heights of their strength , though it was swiftly brought crashing down when Jedi Knight Meetra Surik stormed the Trayus Academy in search of Darth Traya . Under the reconstituted Sith Empire , Warriors were trained on Korriban , arriving on the planet at a young age as Sith Acolyte s . Trained in the dark side of the Force , these fledgling Sith Warriors were taught to hate the Jedi , aspiring to destroy the Galactic Republic . As part of their training , they were eventually apprenticed to a Sith Lord , who tutored them individually . However , this training method was in fact quite common amongst the Sith , and not exclusive to Warriors . The Sith Warriors led the charge during the Great Galactic War , and notables such as Darth Malgus rose to prominence among them . Darth Malgus himself was something of an oddity among the Sith , as he lacked the specieist bias that marked so many of his compatriots , and had little compunction over hiring mercenaries . While a dissenting voice within the Sith political circles , Malgus lacked a power base of his own , and could be counted on to take orders , tactics which protected him from other Sith Lords who would no doubt have otherwise moved against him . During the war , he led the Sith campaign on Alderaan , laying waste to most of the planet . He also led , with the help of his arch - rival Adraas , a contingent of fellow Sith Warriors during the Sacking of Coruscant , storming the Jedi Temple . During the Cold War , Malgus and other warriors led expeditions into the Unknown Regions , furthering the influence of the Sith Empire . Sith Warriors would continue to see use amongst the various Sith regimes , with Lord Skere Kaan ' s Brotherhood of Darkness establishing specialized Sith academies for the training of such fighters . However , Sith Warriors would be effectively abolished by the Rule of Two Sith , as the individualized teaching methods utilized by the covert group rendered wide - scale classifications obsolete .
