Sith Cultist A Sith Cultist was a member of any Sith cult . More specifically , " Sith Cultist " was used with reference to the members of Tavion Axmis ' s Sith cult , the Disciples of Ragnos . Background and Abilities . Members of the cult had been empowered with the Force by Tavion ' s Scepter of Ragnos and wore different color battle suits depending on their abilities . Some of Tavion ' s Sith cultists were Force - users , carrying no weapons and instead using offensive powers such as Force Grip and Force lightning as well as acrobatics and hand - to - hand combat techniques . Others were armed with a blaster rifle and had basic knowledge of several dark side powers . However , most were trained in the basics of lightsaber combat . These cultists wore an orange battle suit and were usually competent in one of the three styles of lightsaber combat in use at the time , although they generally lacked the skill and discipline needed to defeat an average Jedi from Luke Skywalker ' s Jedi Praxeum . These cultists had little skill in Force powers , but all were trained to use Force Jump and to employ Force push defensively . Some were also able to throw their lightsaber a short distance using telekinesis . In combat , the cultists made frequent use of Dun Möch to offset their lack of saber skills , taunting their opponents arrogantly . Lightsabers with slightly shorter blades , modeled on Tavion ' s , were mass produced using synthetic crystals for the lightsaber - wielding cultists . It was likely that the cultists were not skilled enough to create their own lightsabers . The difference in the blade length did not seem to have an effect on the weapon ' s performance . Generally , cultists operated in pairs or small groups , typically with one lightsaber cultist backed up by one or two Force - users to maximize their abilities . In combat against Jedi , the Force - users would typically employ their powers aggressively along with rapid acrobatics to distract the Jedi and create openings for their lightsaber - wielding partners . Other Cult Members and Accomplishments . The more powerful of Tavion ' s cultists were called the New Reborn , as they were recruited among the surviving members of Desann ' s army of Reborn and their skills were superior to the cultists . The lower members of the Disciples of Ragnos were simply called " Sith cultists " or just " cultists . " They were mainly deployed in operations relating to Tavion ' s hunt for more Force energy , often working alongside Imperial Remnant or mercenaries . Whilst the cultists were often outmatched by the Jedi they faced on their missions , particularly the talented Jaden Korr , they fought to the death with a zealous fury . The cultists and New Reborn congregated in large numbers on Korriban and fought the Jedi in an attempt to prevent them from reaching Ragnos ' tomb and halting Tavion ' s resurrection of the ancient Sith Lord . Due to the cultists ' numerical advantage , they were able to stall the advance of the Jedi , allowing Tavion to complete the resurrection ritual . Nevertheless , Jaden Korr managed to penetrate their defenses and slew many of the defending cultists , thereby gaining access to Ragnos ' tomb . Engaging Tavion and the empowered spirit of Ragnos , Korr defeated her and set the Sith Lord ' s spirit back to rest . With the destruction of the Scepter of Ragnos the cult members lost their powers , thus the fates of those who survived the fall of Tavion are unknown . Behind the scenes . In " " , the Cultists are the only enemies that wield slightly shorter lightsabers . All of the other enemies , such as the New Reborn , have normal length lightsabers . Also , all lightsaber - using enemies in the game , except Alora , Reborn Master and staff - wielding New Reborn have the same black , basic hilt . There are also two hidden cultist NPC , " Cultistcommando " is basically a green Cultist armed with dual DL - 44 heavy blaster pistols with a surprisingly fast rate of fire and " Cultist _ Destroyer " , a red Cultist who run into the player performing a " Force Rage " animation and self - destructs , killing everyone in the blast radius , though the self - destruct effect is missing .
