Sith

The **Sith**, also called the **Sith Order**, were a group of Force-sensitives who broke away from the Jedi Order in pursuit of knowledge in the dark side of the Force, rather than the Jedi only allowing the following of the light side. They gained their power through emotions such as anger, greed, suffering, and fear, and had no qualms in deceiving in order to obtain their goals. Sith and Jedi were the oldest of enemies, and many times Sith believed they had eradicated the Jedi and vice versa, although it seemed as though they would never be gone forever.

The Sith existed in many forms throughout history, from galaxy-spanning empires to small groups, but their ancestral home was Korriban, where their namesake the Tsis were native. The Exiles, a group of Jedi sent away from the Order for their dark side tendencies, found the Force-sensitive Tsis and they taught each other, eventually going to war with the Jedi. Many years of war passed, with no clear winner, and this cycle continued for many years and over many generations, with purges of Sith and Jedi alike, until the Brotherhood of Darkness were completely destroyed during the Seventh Battle of Ruusan.

However, this did not spell the end for the Sith—the Banite line of Sith, following Darth Bane's Rule of Two, survived and began to plan their ultimate revenge. A thousand years after the Seventh Battle of Ruusan, Darth Sidious would destroy much of the Jedi and take over the Galactic Republic, reforming it into the Galactic Empire.
