Sith Acolyte

Sith Acolytes were Force sensitive soldiers deployed by the Galactic Empire. These select individuals were trained in utmost secrecy by the Inquisitorius as part of the Acolyte Program.
== History ==
The Acolyte program was created shortly after the founding of the Galactic Empire. During the Great Jedi Purge, Emperor Sheev Palpatine instigated the program to train Force-sensitive warriors with unflinching loyalty to the Imperial cause, in the hope of preventing the potential ressurection of the Jedi Order. The Acolytes received extensive training in the Force from senior members of the Inquisitorius.
During their training, the Acolytes exhibited a murderously sadistic sense of humor, repeatedly using their Force powers to stage "accidents" around their training facility, heedless of the personnel injuries and deaths that they caused. Not overly familiar with the Force's applications and ignorant as to the main purpose of the Acolyte program, the hapless facility personnel could do nothing but wonder what had caused the "accidents", though the fact that the Acolytes were always around when they occurred did make at least one Imperial suspicious.
Circa 1001 ARR the Emperor's apprentice, Darth Vader, used the program as an excuse for the Empire to return to Kamino, and experiment with cloning his apprentice. The first batch of clone Acolytes were stationed on Cato Neimoidia and were assigned to serve under the command of Baron Merillion Tarko. When Starkiller II went rogue and escaped Kamino, he would encounter these Acolytes during his rescue of Rahm Kota.
