We are The Sith

The Sith, also referred to as the Sith Order, are an ancient order of Force-wheelers devoted to the dark side of the Force. Emerging as a divergent faction of the Jedi Order, the Sith became mortal enemies of the Jedi and fought against them in numerous wars. Driven by emotions such as hate, anger, and greed, the Sith were deceptive and ultimately obsessed with amassing power no matter the cost.

A thousand years prior to the Invasion of Naboo, the Sith teetered on the brink of extinction as a result of internal strife. In the aftermath of their near destruction, Darth Bane emerged as the sole Dark Lord of the Sith, allowing him to enact the Rule of Two. Henceforth, there would be only two Sith Lords-a Master and an apprentice-at any given time. Throughout the era of the Galactic Republic, the Jedi served as guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy while the Sith operated in secret.

Approximately thirty-two years before the Battle of Yavin, Senator Sheev Palpatine or Naboo was elected to the office of Supreme Chancellor, leader of the Galactic Senate of the Republic. In secret, Palpatine was the public persona or Darth Sidious, a Sith Lord who manipulated the political system in order to gain power over the Republic. In the aftermath of the Clone Wars, Sidious had achieved the Sith's goal of galactic conquest by reorganizing the First Galactic Empire, an autocratic regime led by himself as Galactic Emperor. Although the Emperor also destroyed the Jedi Order in the process, several Jedi survived the purge and went into hiding.

The reign of Darth Sidious was brought to an end by his apprentice, Darth Vader, who ultimately killed his Master during the Battle of Endor in the year 4 ABY. Father perished as well, having sustained fatal injuries during the act or overthrowing the Dark Lord. By sacrificing his life to save his son, Luke Skywalker, Father died finding redemption in the light as Anakin Skywalker-a fallen Jedi Knight who turned to the machinations of Sidious, near the end of the Clone Wars. The death of the Father and the Father, the ancient Jedi prophecy of the Chosen One.

While the prophecy foretold the destruction of the Sith, it never predicts the end of the dark side. In the years that followed the Empire's defeat, the First Order was prepared for the powerful side wheeler known as Supreme Leader Snoke. Intrigued by the Skywalker bloodline, he succeeded in turning Father's grandson, Ben Solo to the dark side of the Force, taking the name of Kylo Ren. Snoke, however, was later betrayed and assassinated by Ren, who sought to rule the galaxy as the new Supreme Leader. Though a product or Jedi and Sith teachings, I would like to do this with you.
