New Sith Order

In the decades that would follow the fall of the Order of the Sith Lords, the Sith doctrine known as the Rule of One would be developed by the Dark Lord Darth Krayt, followed by the rise of the **New Sith Order** from the ancient burial world of Moraband. Krayt's doctrine, in stark contrast to the core tenets of the old Sith, called for many Sith following one leader and one purpose, something which many Rule of Two Sith thought of as not possible. In this new cult, the concept of training would be to collect Force-Sensitive children from birth and train them as agents of the Dark Side, a concept originally developed by Darth Sidious. Krayt came to believe that the New Republic was weak along with it a fractured galaxy, and that a single dominant will was needed to make it whole and strong again. Equipped with knowledge gained from Sith relics and renaming himself Darth Krayt after the fierce creature of his homeworld, he reestablished the Sith Order under his leadership, thus claiming the title Dark Lord of the Sith.

By the time of the Resistance conflict with the First Order, while the cult could be considered heretical to the ideals of the original Sith, the new breed had risen to take the place as the dominant Sith faction, and the last true remnant of the Sith. Its agents including the Dark Lady Lumiya, the legendary commander of the old Sith Empire's military Darth Malgus, and one of Krayt's most loyal students Darth Talon, were active during the new galactic war, and by that time their numbers reached more than thirty Sith. The New Sith were not officially affiliated with the First Order nor the Knights of Ren, even though Krayt's claim to the title of Dark Lord was contested by Snoke. As Snoke was left unaware of the New Sith Order's existence, they remained in hiding while secretly operating from behind the scenes in Snoke's war against the Jedi. When the balance of power had shifted sufficiently, Krayt and his Order would execute their agenda to restore the absolute rule of the Sith to the galaxy.

## Members of the Order

Unlike the previous incarnation of the Sith, Krayt had abolished the Rule of Two which stated that there could be only two Sith at any one time, a master and apprentice. Instead, there would be the Rule of One that One being the embodiment Sith Order itself, under which there would be many Sith, all trained to follow the Dark Lord of the Sith with blind obedience, even at the cost of their own lives. Eschewing the unisex usage of Lord by the Order of Darth Bane, the New Sith Order restored the title of Sith Lady for its female members, such as Lady Lumiya or Lady Talon. Among the New Sith of both sexes, those who had proven both their power and loyalty were bestowed the title and rank of Darth.

### **New Sith Order**

#### Rule of One

The **Rule of One** was a self-affirming doctrine conceived by a member of the Order of the Sith Lords to replace the replace the Rule of Two, a long-standing Sith doctrine considered to be outmoded, when it would fulfill its purpose by returning them to power. The Rule of One was first articulated in the personal works of ancient written texts, wherein it was stated that the Sith would be embodied by a sole reigning Dark Lord, who would live forever as Emperor of the galaxy, having no need to train a replacement, and availing himself solely of capable executors of his will, talented in the Force as Dark Side agents. These agents would learn a smattering of the powers of the Emperor, but would not assume even a fraction of his authority. Although officially it resembled Darth Bane's Rule of Two in terms of apprentices and the punishment regarding rule violation, the Rule of One was, in reality, completely different, as there was no chance of succession for the students of the Emperor.

#### Grand Master of the Order

The **Grand** **Master of the Order** was a rank within the New Sith Order created by the groups founder and former Jedi, Darth Krayt, from the separate ranks of Grand Master and Master of the Order from the fallen Jedi Order Krayt once served. Unlike the Jedi which allowed their to be both a Grand Master and a Master of the Order, Krayt did not allow any others to hold the rank, rather preferring their be only one true leader with absolute power over all those who called themselves Sith. The Grand Master would be tasked with overseeing and governing the activities of the entire Order without any equal to challenge their rule, a function fulfilled by the one who would become the wisest and most powerful Master. By the time of the Resistance conflict with the First Order, the only one whom held the mantle was Krayt himself, a title he planned to keep for centuries.
