Initially unknown to Vader and Sidious, two children were delivered by Padme before her death. The Rebels episode "Twilight of the Apprentice" features a forbidden planet called Malachor, [20] home of an ancient Sith temple.
Thousands of years prior, a battle was waged on Malachor that resulted in the deaths of its inhabitants. He is discovered by Maul, and together, they use the Force cooperatively to solve a series of tests, and retrieve a Sith Holocron.
With the help of Kanan and Ahsoka, they fought three Inquisitors, all of whom are killed by Maul. Maul then betrays his allies, blinding Kanan, and proceeds to activate the superweapon.
Maul is defeated by a sightless Kanan, and Darth Vader arrives with the intention of retrieving the holocron, but is challenged by Ahsoka, his former Padawan.
While the superweapon is preparing to fire, Kanan and Ezra retrieve the holocron and escape, preventing the weapon of mass destruction from being used.
Even though the temple is destabilized, Ahsoka and Vader keep fighting to the death within the rapidly crumbling building, until it eventually explodes, wounding Vader.
Luke would be secretly tutored in the ways of the Force by Vader's own former Jedi master, Obi-Wan Kenobi , and a powerful elder Jedi, Yoda , who also survived Palpatine's purge.
Ironically, during a final confrontation between Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader and the Emperor aboard a mobile battle station known as the Death Star , the Sith lineage would end as Darth Bane prescribed that it proceed.
Darth Sidious offered Skywalker an ultimatum to enter his service or die, and proceeded to use his Force-derived powers to torture and kill Skywalker when the latter refused to embrace the Dark Side of the Force.
Experiencing a crisis of conscience at the imminent death of Skywalker, whom Vader now knew to be his son, Darth Vader chose to intervene and kill his former master, Sidious fulfilling the prophecy of the Chosen One.
Vader would die of his own injuries shortly thereafter, thus apparently bringing an end to the Sith and their ancient vendetta.
The film The Rise of Skywalker depicts the climax of the conflict between the Sith and the Jedi, [25] and features the group known as the Sith Eternal , led by a resurrected Darth Sidious.
When Sidious meets his final demise at the hands of his granddaughter, Rey , the moment also marks the definitive end of the Sith.
Originally the eldest son of an aristocratic family from the planet Naboo , he rose to power within the Galactic Republic's government system starting from Senator of his homeworld, then to Supreme Chancellor of the Republic, and finally to self-proclaimed Emperor of the Galactic Empire.
This was done by cultivating a public image as a humble and competent politician while secretly mastering dark Sith arts studying under Plagueis, and planning the destruction of the Jedi Order and Republic.
Eventually, by manipulating disaffected political groups and using double agents to sow discord, Palpatine fomented a civil war that provided an opportunity for him to seize absolute power.
He was eventually betrayed and killed by his last, Vader, at the end of Return of the Jedi. Darth Sidious' death marked what appears to be the definitive end of the Sith.
In Legends continuity, Darth Sidious would return using clones and ancient Sith powers, returning in several clone bodies over the course of several novels and comics.
During this time he would briefly turn Luke Skywalker to the dark side of the Force through sheer power as much as by guile, though Luke would later be redeemed by his sister Leia and restored to the light side of the Force and defeated Palpatine once and for all.
Shortly before his first death, Palpatine had sent a psychic command through the Force to Mara Jade , planting in her the need to kill Luke. She eventually fulfilled this command by slaying a clone of Luke called Luke Skywalker, whom Palpatine had made in an attempt to use him against the original, though this plot ultimately would fail due to Mara's fatal attack on the clone.
He first appeared in Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace , where he was ordered by his master to capture Queen Amidala of Naboo in order for her to sign a treaty that would legalize the Trade Federation's invasion of the planet.
After tracking the Queen's personal starship to Tatooine, he briefly attacked Qui-Gon Jinn , the Jedi sent to escort Amidala to Coruscant, but he escaped.
Though he managed to kill Jinn, he was then defeated by Kenobi, who sliced him in half, leading to everyone, including Sidious, to believe he had died.
In reality, however, Maul survived his injuries and ended up on the junk planet Lotho Minor , where he would become a cyborg and be driven to insanity.
He was eventually rescued by his brother Savage Opress twelve years later, during the Clone Wars. After being provided with a pair of new robotic legs by the Nightsisters, led by Maul's mother, Talzin , he sought revenge against Kenobi.
In the process, he recruited several crime syndicates to his cause, forming the Shadow Collective. He took over Mandalore , only to be defeated and captured by Sidious.
Maul later escaped and managed to rebuild his criminal empire. Near the end of the war, he engineered a conflict on Mandalore to lure out and kill Anakin Skywalker.
Ahsoka Tano was sent to deal with him instead, and he was captured, only to be freed by Tano when Sidious executed Order 66 , causing the clone troopers to turn on their Jedi generals.
During the Galactic Empire era, Maul, having abandoned his Sith persona, led the Crimson Dawn crime syndicate, until being stranded on the Sith world of Malachor for years.
He escaped after meeting Jedi Padawan Ezra Bridger , whom he attempts to turn to the dark side, and later forced to assist in locating Kenobi.
Upon tracking him down to Tatooine , he confronted Kenobi and fought him one final time. Maul was fatally injured and died in Kenobi's arms, realizing that the latter was looking after the boy he believed to be the Chosen One and would one day avenge those who had suffered because of Sidious and the Sith, including Maul.
Dooku was a former Jedi Master who was trained by Grandmaster Yoda and took on Qui-Gon Jinn as his apprentice, but later became disillusioned with the Galactic Republic 's Senate, realizing that immediate change was needed in order to maintain peace, and turned to the dark side of the Force.
He played an important role in Sidious' plans to take over the galaxy, engineering the Clone Wars by recruiting the bounty hunter Jango Fett as the template for a clone army that would be used by the Republic, and forming the Confederacy of Independent Systems, consisting of numerous planets and systems who wanted to become independent from the Republic.
Dooku served as the figurehead of the Separatist Alliance throughout the Clone Wars until meeting his demise at the hands of Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith , who decapitated him at Chancellor Palpatine's secretly Darth Sidious urgings, thus revealing that Sidious never cared about Dooku and merely used him to aid his plans.
Dooku was succeeded by Anakin himself, who fell to the dark side of the Force shortly after and became Sidious' third apprentice, Darth Vader, accomplishing what Dooku couldn't: helping Sidious wipe out the Jedi Order and form the Galactic Empire.
Darth Vader Anakin Skywalker was a male human-cyborg Dark Lord of the Sith and the third and final apprentice of Darth Sidious, who first appeared in the Star Wars original trilogy , and later in the prequel trilogy.
After being sent by Sidious to assassinate the Separatist council members on Mustafar, Vader was badly injured in a duel with Kenobi, resulting in the loss of his remaining organic arm, both legs, and severe burn injuries.
He was saved by Sidious, and encased in a black suit of armor with extensive cybernetics which kept him alive. As the Galactic Empire was established and continued to grow, Vader became the Emperor's immensely feared second-in-command and was given the task of finding surviving Jedi and the Rebel Alliance 's base.
After the destruction of the first Death Star , Vader was charged with tracking down the Rebel Alliance and destroying their headquarters.
However, the actions of his son, Luke Skywalker , eventually turned Vader against his master, resulting in both Sidious' and Vader's deaths, as well as the fulfilment of the Chosen One prophecy.
He was a paranoid man, who believed that his followers were secretly plotting to overthrow him, which eventually came true, as they betrayed and attacked him, seeking to steal his power.
Forced to flee from Korriban , Andeddu created the world of Prakith, where he would rule as a deity for several centuries until meeting his demise and entombing himself to prevent his followers from stealing his secrets even in death.
Prior to his death, he would also create a Sith holocron to store all his knowledge, including the ability to cheat death by transferring one's essence into another vessel, and his cult, called "the Malevolence", would create a temple in the reverence of the Dark Lord, believing that one day he would return.
The legend of Andeddu and his incredible power remained at large long after his death, despite the Jedi Order's attempt to erase all knowledge and reference about the Sith.
In the Star Wars canon, Andeddu is only mentioned in The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary , where, even though his backstory is never explained, it is revealed that Darth Sidious' Sith Eternal cult still had knowledge of Andeddu thousands of years after his death and had the 5th Legion of Sith Troopers named after him.
He owned two crossguard lightsabers, which were found and given away by the smuggler Sana Starros after the Battle of Yavin. The anger possessed by Atrius when wielding both these crossguard lightsabers at the same time, carried over to the weapons themselves, and can transfer over to their new owners.
These lightsabers were eventually destroyed by Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker, thus possibly erasing all knowledge about Atrius himself.
According to the legend, Caldoth eventually gained a Sith apprentice, the Twi'lek Ry Nymbis, and they were considered the two most powerful individuals in the galaxy at one point.
Caldoth killed his own apprentice with a Sith ritual that turned the person's body into stone when he felt Nymbis was going to betray him.
With the ritual, Nymbis was trapped in an eternal nightmare. He lived at an unknown point in time before Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace and was seduced to the dark side after losing his faith in the Jedi Order, believing that the Jedi should retain their family ties and wealth.
His most notable feats were taking part in the Battle of Wasted Years, where the Sith emerged victorious, and taming the Nightmare Conjunction.
Her voice was heard by Count Dooku during his time as a Jedi Padawan, in a Force vision that he had after encountering the Presagers of Hakotei on Asusto.
In this vision, Skrye claimed that the Sith were reborn before activating a superweapon called the Cauldron, which destroyed a planet.
He lived at an unknown point in time before Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace , and was best known for coming back to life after being killed by the Jedi Order, in order to fight them once again.
The legend of Darth Wrend would come to Qui-Gon Jinn 's mind during his time as a Padawan, who opened the holocron of prophecy, which contained numerous prophecies of which several dated ten thousand years prior.
One of the prophecies said that evil would disappear yet appear again once the righteous had lost its light, which many believed that was referring to the return of the Sith.
At that time, Qui-Gon believed that the prophecy talked about Darth Wrend's return from the dead and that it had already been fulfilled, although it would later be revealed that the prophecy referred to the Jedi learning about Darth Sidious' existence and that the Sith had lived in secret for almost a millennium.
In the Legends continuity, Darth Desolous was a male Pau'an Dark Lord of the Sith who was expelled from the Jedi Order due to his violent nature and trained an army of fellow Pau'an warriors to fight them, but ended up falling into a trap set by the Jedi and perished in battle.
His image would later be incorporated in the training simulations at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. In the Star Wars canon, Darth Desolous is only mentioned in The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary , where, even though his backstory is never explained, it is revealed that Darth Sidious' Sith Eternal cult still had knowledge of Desolous thousands of years after his death and had the 44th Legion of Sith Troopers named after him.
In the Legends continuity, Darth Phobos was a Theelin Dark Lady of the Sith with mind manipulation abilities, who killed many of her fellow Sith in a bid of power and formed a cult to worship her, but was ultimately killed by the combined forces of the Jedi and Sith.
Her image would later be incorporated in the training simulations at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. In the Star Wars canon, Darth Phobos is only mentioned in The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary , where, even though her backstory is never explained, it is revealed that Darth Sidious' Sith Eternal cult still had knowledge of Phobos thousands of years after her death and had the 39th Legion of Sith Troopers named after her.
Once Jedi heroes who led the Republic to victory in the Mandalorian Wars, Revan and his comrade, Alek, turned to the dark side after stumbling upon the Sith Empire, hidden in the Unknown Reaches of space, and being tortured by the Sith Emperor.
As a Sith, Revan prepared to battle with the Jedi who boarded his flagship, but Malak, in the hopes of destroying both Revan and Bastila Shan , betrayed his master, ordering the ships under his command to fire on Revan's flagship's bridge.
The Council chose to wipe Revan's memory, and imprint him with a false identity. Revan later awoke on a starship under attack and encountered Malak, who eventually revealed the truth of his identity.
Following this, Revan defeated Malak in a final battle, claiming victory for the Republic. Revan later married Bastila Shan with the approval of the Jedi Council and eventually departed into the Unknown Regions to confront the Sith Emperor, but was imprisoned for years until his descendant Satele Shan rescued him.
However, due to being imprisoned for centuries, his lighter half had perished and became a Force spirit, leaving only his darker half, which sought to destroy the Sith Emperor once and for all.
Since the Emperor's physical body had already been destroyed, leaving only his spirit, Revan planned to resurrect him so that he could then kill him for good.
However, he was ultimately defeated by the combined forces of the Republic and his lighter half. The two halves of Revan then merged in peace and died for the final time, although, unbeknownst to everyone, the Sith Emperor had been resurrected and escaped into the galaxy.
Following his death, Revan would be remembered by the galaxy for thousand of years, both as a legendary Jedi hero and one of the most powerful Sith Lords to have ever lived.
In the Star Wars canon, Darth Revan is only mentioned in The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary , where, even though his backstory is never explained, it is revealed that Darth Sidious' Sith Eternal cult still had knowledge of Revan thousands of years after his death and had the 3rd Legion of Sith Troopers named after him.
Once a sculptor, he was imprisoned at a young age for his creations, which scared most people who saw them. Momin was eventually rescued by a woman named Shaa, who trained him in the dark ide of the Force and whom he eventually killed after believing that he had become more powerful than his master.
Momin then built a superweapon to destroy an entire city and perished when the Jedi intervened to stop him, losing control over the energy he wielded and causing his physical body to be destroyed, leaving only his mask with his consciousness inside.
Years later, the mask would be retrieved from the Jedi Archive vault by Darth Sidious, who gave it to his apprentice Darth Vader as a gift for his journey to Mustafar , which Vader sought to make his personal stronghold.
After Momin's spirit killed some of his personnel, Vader examined the mask and learned of Momin's past, before letting him possess the body of a Mustafarian and build a fortress for him.
Shortly after Momin finished building of the fortress, Vader was distracted by an invasion of Mustafarians, which Momin took advantage of to open the door to the Dark Side and resurrect himself.
However, after challenging Vader to a duel, Momin met a quick demise by being crushed with a giant rock. Despite Momin's death, his dark essence would remain in the mask for years to come.
At one point, Momin's mask was located aboard the Imperial yacht Imperialis , when a group of thieves led by Lando Calrissian attempt to rob the ship.
After Momin's spirit possessed the bodies of two thieves, the others abandoned them and destroyed the ship, seemingly ending Momin's legacy. Luke Skywalker later learned about Momin and his history during his travels across the galaxy, and described the Sith Lord's role in building Vader's fortress in his book, titled The Secrets of the Jedi.
He is best known for establishing the Rule of Two, which was considered the beginning of the modern Sith within the Star Wars canon.
In the Star Wars canon, Darth Bane's backstory as the only Sith surivor of the Jedi-Sith war and the creator of the Rule of Two is mostly unchanged, though not much else is known about him.
Bane was also originally set to appear in the episode "Ghosts of Mortis" alongside Darth Revan, but they were both ultimately cut.
In the Legends continuity, Darth Tenebrous Rugess Nome was a male Bith Dark Lord of the Sith with the power of foreseeing the future, including his own death, and the master of both Darth Plagueis and Darth Venamis, the latter of whom he kept secret as it was a violation of the Rule of Two.
His public persona was Rugess Tome, a legendary artisanal starship designer with a galaxy-spanning reputation, and he was known for being a scientific genius and master planner, as well as for his breathing apparatus.
Tenebrous' secret plan was to possess the Chosen One once he would appear, but he was eventually killed by Plagueis during a mission on the planet Ban'demnic.
However, Tenebrous wasn't too surprised at Plagueis's betrayal and instead congratulated him with his dying breath, because his conscience would soon be able to enter his apprentice's body.
Despite managing to cheat death, Tenebrous' plan failed, because, during his time in Plagueis' body, he foresaw him being killed by his own apprentice before the appearance of the Chosen One, meaning that Tenebrous would never be able to possess him.
Tenebrous then tried to escape from Plagueis' body, but only saw the mummified remains of his original body, as decades had passed since his death.
As such, Tenebrous was cursed to remain a vague spirit for the rest of eternity, unable to gain a physical body ever again. In the Star Wars canon continuity, Darth Tenebrous is only mentioned in The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary , where, even though his backstory is never explained, it is revealed that Darth Sidious' Sith Eternal cult still had knowledge of Tenebrous many years after his death and had the 26th Legion of Sith Troopers named after him.
In the film, Sidious as Palpatine uses Plagueis' story to seduce Anakin Skywalker to the dark side, claiming that Plagueis' abilities in the Force grew to such an extent that he could create life by influencing microscopic force-sensitive entities called "midi-chlorians," and even save people from dying.
According to the Rule of Two, Plagueis was eventually killed by Sidious in his sleep, who subsequently became the new Sith Master and would later take on an apprentice of his own.
He is the main character of the non-canonica novel, Star Wars: Darth Plagueis. Although not official Sith, several other dark side users in the service of the Sith were present during the Clone Wars and the initial years of the Galactic Empire.
After tracking the young war hero to the planet Muunilinst, Ventress engaged Anakin's Republic fighter forces fighting above the Separatist-occupied world and baited him in a chase to Yavin 4 , where a fierce battle from the forest to the Massassi temple took place.
Though she initially gained the upper hand in the ensuing lightsaber duel, Anakin called upon his immense connection to the Force to brutally overpower her, causing the Dathomirian to fall over the edge of a cliff.
She luckily survived the landing and continued to serve her master throughout the Clone Wars on several occasions. In Star Wars: The Clone Wars , Ventress was a recurring antagonist during the first seasons, as she assisted Dooku with several schemes, most of which were thwarted by the Jedi.
After being replaced with Savage Opress for her failures, Ventress returned to the Nightsisters until General Grievous led a massacre against them, which only she and Mother Talzin survived.
From there, she helped Boba Fett 's team of bounty hunters on a dangerous mission, which thus marked the start of her own bounty hunting career.
In the novel, she teamed up with Jedi Quinlan Vos to assassinate Count Dooku, and, along the way, the two fell in love. However, their attempt to kill Dooku failed, and Dooku captured Vos, turning him to the dark side.
Ventress managed to turn Vos back, but died saving him from an angered Dooku and was later buried on Dathomir, amongst her fallen sisters.
Originally a Nightbrother under Mother Talzin on Dathomir, he was handpicked by Asajj Ventress as part of her scheme to kill Darth Tyrannus for the attempt on her life.
His mind was eventually altered by the Nightsisters, making him more of a berserker on Ventress' call to the point of killing his brother Feral without remorse.
Opress managed to become Tyrannus' new Shadow Hand and learned only a little about the ways of the Sith before Ventress had him help her fight their master due to his actions under him getting unwanted attention from the Jedi.
However, in the heat of the moment and provoked by both of them, Opress tried to kill both Tyrannus and Ventress before escaping back to Dathomir.
There, he was instructed by Mother Talzin to find Maul so that he could complete his training to defend himself against the numerous enemies he had made.
After finding his long-lost brother as a shell of his former self on a junk planet, Opress managed to stir up Maul's grudge with Obi-Wan Kenobi to aid him in his revenge against the Jedi.
From there, the Zabrak duo were able to set up a Confederacy against the Republic separate from the Separatists, and soon took over Mandalore.
However, they received an unexpected visit by Darth Sidious, who considered Maul's sudden rise to power a threat to his rule, and dueled both him and Opress.
The latter met a quick demise after being stabbed with Sidious' two lightsabers, and died in Maul's arms.
The Inquisitors were an organization of Force-sensitive warriors in the service of the Galactic Empire prior to the events of A New Hope , where it is implied that they all became defunct, as Darth Vader and Darth Sidious were the only known Force-wielders at that time.
Most of them were former Jedi, who had lost their faith in the Jedi Order and succumbed to the dark side, during or shortly after the Clone Wars.
They were all recruited into the Empire and trained by Darth Vader, who tasked them with hunting down other survivors of the Great Jedi Purge, as well as other Force-sensitive individuals, mostly children, to prevent them from becoming future Jedi.
Among the known Inquisitors were:. Although not official Sith, several dark side users were present in the years following the fall of the Galactic Empire and during the conflict between the Resistance and the First Order.
Snoke was an artificial being created by Darth Sidious and his Sith Eternal cult on Exegol , and a major antagonist in the Star Wars sequel trilogy.
He was also behind the destruction of Luke Skywalker 's Jedi Temple and the deaths of most of his students, in an attempt to wipe out the Jedi Order once and for all.
He was ultimately killed by Ren, after failing to foresee his betrayal. Kylo Ren Ben Solo was a former Jedi and powerful dark side wielder, and one of the main antagonists of the Star Wars sequel trilogy.
He was born as the son of Leia Organa and Han Solo , and trained under his uncle, Luke Skywalker , to become a Jedi, but was seduced to the dark side by Snoke.
Adopting the alias Kylo Ren, he helped eliminate his uncle's new generation of Jedi and became the leader of the Knights of Ren and a high-ranking member of the First Order.
He trained under Snoke to become a powerful dark side wielder, and later proved his loyalty by killing his father when he tried to help him get redeemed.
However, Ren eventually betrayed and killed his master after siding with the Jedi Padwan Rey , with whom he shared a unique connection called a "dyad in the Force".
However, instead of turning back to the light side, he took over as the new Supreme Leader of the First Order, and invited Rey to join him, but she refused.
Later, Ren had a confrontation with Luke, only to discover that he was a Force projection, meant to distract him and allow the Resistance to escape; nontheless, Luke died as a result of the effort to create the projection, leaving Rey the only living Jedi.
Eventually, Ren discovered that the Sith Lord Darth Sidious was still alive and plotted to kill this potential rival, but instead sided to him after he revealed the Final Order, a massive fleet of Xyston -class Star Destroyers equipped with axial superlasers capable of decimating entire planets, which he promised to give Ren control of in exchange for killing Rey, revealed to be his grandaughter.
Secretly, however, Ren planned to have Rey help him kill Sidious, and engaged her in a duel when she refused, which Ren lost after his mother gave her life to reach out to him through the Force.
After a conversation with a memory of his late father, Ben Solo was redeemed and came to Rey's aid in defeating Sidious.
After Rey died to kill the Sith Lord, Ben revived her using the Force, and shared a kiss with her, but then died as a result of using all his life energy to save her, becoming one with the Force.
The Knights of Ren were an organization of masked Force-wielding warriors, who served as antagonists in the Star Wars sequel trilogy. The Knights were neither Sith or Jedi, but a new generation of dark side warriors that emerged to fill the void left by the supposed demise of the last Sith Lords, Darth Sidious and Darth Vader.
They had a code, to which they were flexible in the following: living life the way they wanted, taking what the galaxy gave them, and consuming what the dark side sent them.
Their name came from a lightsaber called "Ren", which was at the base of their code and could only be wielded by their leader. After his fall to the dark side, Ben Solo joined the Knights and eventually killed Ren, becoming their new leader, under the alias Kylo Ren, knighting his former fellow Padawan Voe as a knight through her shoulders, before reforging her lightsaber into one for himself.
After Kylo became the Supreme Leader of the First Order, the Knights became his personal guards, though they ultimately sided with the resurrected Darth Sidious after Ben Solo returned to the light side, which led to their demise at the hands of the redeemed Ben.
They are also revealed to have artificially created and cloned Snoke , [33] whom Palpatine used as a puppet to control the First Order and seduce Kylo Ren to the dark side.
The novelization of The Rise of Skywalker goes into more detail about how Palpatine transferred his consciousness into the cloned body the Sith Eternal prepared for him.
Following the acquisition of Lucasfilm by The Walt Disney Company , Lucasfilm rebranded most of the licensed Star Wars novels, comics, and other fictional media published since the original film previously identified as the Star Wars Expanded Universe as Star Wars Legends and declared them non-canonical to the franchise in April Over the course of centuries of intermingling between the ethnic Sith and Dark Jedi, the name "Sith" would come to apply to the martial philosophy and political affiliation created by the former Jedi exiles on Korriban, rather than a specific race.
This Sith regime would strike out at the Galactic Republic and Jedi on numerous occasions. In the story, Darth Vader tries to get the Kyber Crystal to use it for his evil schemes.
Dark Horse Comics purchased the copyrights to several Star Wars stories. Star Wars video games have also been adapted from the plots of the films, novels, and TV shows.
The games follow the basic plot of the story, but they can also include alternative, non-canonical, endings depending on which character is being played.
He was eventually killed by his twin sister Jaina for his actions. Marka Ragnos was an ancient Sith-human hybrid Sith Lord, who lived during the time of the first Sith Empire, and seized the title of Dark Lord of the Sith, serving as the ruler of the Empire.
After his death, two Sith Lords, Naga Sadow and Ludo Kressh, fought to occupy his throne, only for Ragnos' spirit to appear before them and claim that only the most worthy should succeed him.
Ragnos lived on as a Force spirit following his death, trapped within his tomb in the Valley of the Dark Lords on Korriban. A thousand years after the Dark Lord's death, Exar Kun summoned Ragnos from his grave through the use of talismans.
Ragnos crowned Exar Kun as the new Dark Lord, with Ulic Qel-Droma as Kun's apprentice, as an attempt to resurrect the lost empire thousands of years prior.
Several thousands of years after that, in the video game Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy set during the New Republic era , a cult dedicated to Ragnos, led by the Dark Jedi Tavion Axmis, raised as a new threat to the galaxy, with the intent of resurrecting the Sith Lord using an old artifact called the Scepter of Ragnos.
After absorbing Force energy from numerous locations across the galaxy using the scepter, Tavion and her cult traveled to Korriban and almost succeeded in resurrecting Ragnos, but were stopped by Luke Skywalker's New Jedi Order.
However, Jaden was able to defeat Ragnos, whose spirit left Tavion's body and returned to the depths of the Force, swearing revenge against the Jedi.
After Tenebrous was killed by his other apprentice, Darth Plagueis, he eventually found and defeated Venamis, before capturing him and using him as a test subject for his midi-chlorians experiments over the following years.
After decades of torture and being killed and then brought back to life over and over again, Plaugeis finally allowed Venamis to die, having served his purpose.
However, he later revived again in the presence of his new apprentice, Darth Sidious, until Venamis' organs finally ceased to function, and he died for the final time.
At some point, Alek was injured in battle and had his entire lower jaw cut off, forcing him to don a prosthetic jaw instead. Later, Alek and Revan unwittingly discovered the Sith Empire in the Unknown Regions and were captured by the Sith Emperor, who, using Sith sorcery, turned them to the dark side, but the two broke free from his control and formed their own Sith Empire to wage war on the Republic, with Revan as the leader and Alek, now Darth Malak, as his Sith Apprentice.
When Revan prepared to battle the Jedi who boarded his flagship, Malak betrayed him, ordering the ships under his command to fire on Revan's flagship's bridge, so that he could take over the Sith Empire for himself.
However, Revan survived the ordeal and was taken to the Jedi Council Enclave, where he had his memory wiped, so that he would become a Jedi once again.
Eventually, Revan faced off against Malak, who revealed the truth of his identity, but was ultimately killed in battle by his former friend and Sith Master, which also led to the downfall of his Empire.
Alongside Darth Nihilus, he served as one of Traya's apprentices, until ultimately betraying her and driving her into exile. Sion managed to achieve immortality by calling on his pain, anger and hatred every time he was facing certain death, at the expense of all-consuming agony, which also led to his extremely disfigured appearance.
The player's character eventually defeated Sion, and was then given the option to turn him back to the light side. Regardless, upon being shown the price he paid for immortality, Sion finally let go of his hate and allowed himself to die permanently.
Alongside Darth Sion, he served as one of Traya's apprentices, until ultimately betraying her and driving her into exile. Nihilus imbued his dark soul into his mask and robes and had the power to drain the life force out of any living thing.
Following the betrayal of his master, Nihilus used the might of the Sith Armada not to conquer planets, but to contain them so that he could "feed" off the Force energy of each planet's lifeforms, wiping planets of life.
However, Nihilus was later drawn out and tricked into launching an attack on Telos, believing it to contain the last Jedi. The Exile confronted Nihilus on his ship, and Nihilus was killed either after his former slave Visas sacrificed herself due to their shared link in the Force, or after his attempt to feast on the Exile's connection to the Force backfired and weakened him.
Despite his death, Nihilus' soul would continue to live in his mask and robes for millennia to come, as well as inside his own Sith holocron.
Known for much of his year life as "the Sith Emperor", Lord Vitiate was a sociopathic young lord in one of the earliest iterations of the Sith Empire.
When that empire fell, he led an exodus of survivors to the other side of the galaxy to establish a continuation of it, with himself as Emperor.
It was Vitiate who corrupted Revan and Malak, but Revan's redemption and Malak's defeat seemingly derailed his plans. Three hundred years after Revan's disappearance, the Emperor launched a surprise attack on the Republic, setting the stage for the video game Star Wars: The Old Republic.
Following the recapture of Korriban from the Jedi, Malgus killed his master and later led a surprise assault on Alderaan, only to be defeated by his nemesis and former opponent from Korriban, Satele Shan.
Malgus was severely injured in the fight against Shan, forcing him to wear a respiratory apparatus for the rest of his life.
Sometime later, Malgus was tasked by his superior, Darth Angral, with leading an assault team on the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, which Malgus and his forces destroyed, disgracing the Jedi Order in the eyes of the Republic.
Although Malgus believed that the Battle of Coruscant was the first step of destroying the Republic, it only served as leverage in the peace negotiations that took place on Alderaan.
While the Alderaanian summit progressed, the Sith settled into an occupation of Coruscant. Malgus was placed in charge of orbital security, but the Sith Lord defied his orders and traveled back to Coruscant's surface to strike against the renegade Jedi Aryn Leneer, who wanted to avenge her master Ven Zallow, killed by Malgus during the attack on the Jedi Temple.
Although Leneer ultimately failed, the conflict caused Malgus to become disillusioned with the Empire and to kill his lover Eleena Daru, seeing their relationship as a weakness that prevented him from preserving his own power, which he later used to cleanse the Empire of the politicians whom he blamed for allowing the Republic to survive.
During the Cold War years that followed the successful peace negotiations, Malgus led Sith forces into the Unknown Regions, claiming previously-unknown territories for the Empire.
Towards the end of the war, following the presumed death of the Sith Emperor and his service on the Dark Council, Malgus formed his own Empire, free of the infighting of the Dark Council.
However, the Republic and the Sith Empire forces soon teamed up to fight against Malgus' Empire and managed to track him down to his secret base, where they defeated him.
Despite his apparent death, Malgus later resurfaced during the Invasion of Ossus at the start of the Third Galactic War, once again serving as a commander within the Sith Empire.
However, following the Battle of Corellia, Malgus went rogue, determined to expunge all physical and mental restraints used to keep him under control.
Thousands of years after his death, Malgus was still remembered as one of the most powerful Sith Lords to have ever lived. At one point, Darth Sidious acquired some surviving excerpts of Malgus's journals, which he bounded into his Book of Sith , an anthology of Sith historical writings.
Their personae are frequently used as exemplars of Machiavelianism, authoritarianism , brutality and evil in serious, [52] humorous [53] and satirical [54] settings.
Palpatine is archetypal as the "Evil Emperor"—a cunning tyrant who rules through deception, propaganda, fear and oppression.

A series of conflicts began between the rebellious dark Jedi, a faction of the Jedi Order, and the rest of the Order.
The dark Jedi were defeated and cast out, exiled to the unknown regions. These Exiles came across the planet Korriban, and its native species, the Sith.
They would become the original Sith Empire. One of the earliest leaders of this Sith Empire was Tulak Hord.
He was eventually followed by Marka Ragnos, the last ruler of a period known as the Golden Age of the Sith. Eventually, after a series of conflicts, Sadow was victorious, and Kressh apparently killed.
Sadow began the Great Hyperspace War, invading the Republic and laying siege to its planets. Sadow's efforts were initially met with success, his forces amplified by illusions that Sadow projected from his meditation sphere.
Unfortunately, the Dark Lord's concentration was broken when his apprentice turned on him. With his illusions dispersed, Sadow's forces were forced to retreat.
Upon returning to Sith space, they found that Kressh had not been killed, and engaged him in a space battle. Sadow was victorious again, but they were soon attacked by Republic forces.
Sadow escaped by causing the Denarii Binary Star to go supernova. During a raid on the Jedi Library at Ossus, Qel-Droma dueled and killed his brother, but was captured.
Qel-Droma was redeemed and was instrumental in Kun's downfall, when the latter retreated to Yavin 4. Their brutal campaign against the Republic was hugely successful.
Revan was eventually betrayed by Malak, allowing a Jedi strike team to capture him. Malak continued his conquest without Revan's tactical leadership until a redeemed Revan defeated him, and the Star Forge, the source of the Sith Fleet was destroyed.
Their downfall came about when Meetra Surik, a Jedi who was exiled after the Mandalorian Wars, returned to known space. She defeated the three Sith, and without the Sith leadership, and the destruction of their base of operations on Malachor V, the remaining Sith forces faded into obscurity.
Around years later, the original Sith Empire, now under the leadership of Emperor Vitiate, emerged from the Unknown Regions and declared war on the republic.
This war, dubbed the Great Galactic War, was halted when Vitiate, on the cusp of victory, was restrained by the telepathic prowess of Revan.
After a period of non-fighting, called the Galactic Cold War, tensions boiled over, and the Galactic War began.
The Sith empire eventually fell to infighting and mostly disappeared. Occasionally, a Dark Lord such as Darth Rivan or Darth Ruin, would rise and fall, but the Sith did not become a major threat again until around 2, years later.
They focused on controlling the infighting between the Sith. This policy allowed them to make great progress in their war against the Republic.
Ironically, one of their own, a Sith Lord by the name of Bane turned on them, because he disapproved of their methods. He manipulated the Brotherhood into extinction, and they were defeated.
Bane started the Rule of Two, which evolved into the Sith as they are seen in the films. The schemes of the Sith are key to the overarching plot of the Star Wars films and much other fictional material in the franchise.
Their background has varied among depictions, but the Sith have always been insidious archenemies of the Jedi leveraging dark arts in pursuit of power and revenge.
The Sith were first mentioned in A New Hope in a scene ultimately cut from the film. They were expanded upon heavily in the following years in books, comics, games and other multimedia.
The Sith were formally introduced on-screen with the release of Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace in as a shadowy martial order manipulating the movie's political factions into a galaxy-spanning civil war.
During this time, Anakin Skywalker is a full-fledged Jedi Knight and the series shows how he progresses into his fall to the Dark Side of the Force.
The series also explores Dooku's attempts at training secret apprentices like Asajj Ventress and Savage Opress in order to eventually defeat Darth Sidious and become the ruling Sith Lord.
The origin, agenda, abilities and philosophy of the Sith are intertwined with their relationship to the Force.
With proper training, the Force may be called upon by rare individuals capable of "sensing" or "touching" it to achieve extraordinary feats such as telekinesis, precognition and mental suggestion.
Not all psychological states are conducive to employing the Force; discipline is required. However, both quietude and focused, intense passion alike can be effective.
The Sith originated in a species of Force-sensitive warriors who discovered the efficacy of passion as a tool to draw on the Force at least 5, years prior to the events of the first Star Wars film.
The warriors who would become the first Sith were apparently heterodox members of an older martial order of Force-sensitive sapient beings in the Star Wars universe: The Jedi.
The Jedi served as a space-faring knightly order within the Galactic Republic , a representative democracy encompassing most developed worlds.
The Jedi Order sought to use the powers of the Force to help defend the weak and advance the rule of law across the galaxy, in keeping with their ethics of self-sacrifice and service to the common welfare.
The Jedi creed mirrored their method of utilizing the Force, and Jedi doctrine favored states of serenity, detachment, compassion, and humility as the proper means of accessing its power.
When members of the Jedi Order began to experiment with passion as an alternative, controversy emerged.
The Jedi establishment saw these innovations as a threat to the ethos of the Jedi, opening members to the seduction of aggrandizement and cruelty.
Eventually, this controversy led to a sectarian conflict in which the heterodox Jedi were defeated and exiled. In exile, the dissident Jedi were free to explore the relationship between passion and the Force.
They concluded that the martial and ethical disciplines of the Jedi establishment were foolish and misguided: Passion, not quietude, was the most potent means of accessing the Force, and conflict, not peace, was the natural and healthy state of the universe.
Rejecting the self-abnegation of their forebears, the exiles now embraced ruthless personal ambition, believing that power belonged to those with the cunning and strength to seize it.
In their training, the dissidents would seek to master the Force by cultivating dark passions such as anger and hate, a practice anathematized by the Jedi as taking recourse to the Force's "Dark Side.
A succession of Sith-led regimes would arise to challenge the Jedi and the Galactic Republic. The paradox of reconciling endless personal ambition with corporate action would become a great practical and philosophical concern for the Sith.
While concealing their identity as Sith, a succession of Sith masters and apprentices would work through the centuries to inveigle or force themselves into positions of power and undermine responsible government, preparing the Galactic Republic for eventual usurpation.
The Banite tradition encouraged each apprentice to eventually challenge and slaughter his or her master, and take an apprentice in turn.
In this way, Darth Bane guaranteed the conspiracy remained a secret for a thousand years; he believed that the kratocratic essence of Sith philosophy could be reconciled with a sustained project of galactic domination and revenge against the Jedi.
The first six Star Wars films chronicle the consummation, and eventual undoing, of this ancient scheme. By manipulating disgruntled factions within the Galactic Republic, Palpatine orchestrated civil war.
This conflict, known within the Star Wars universe as the " Clone Wars ", provided a justification for consolidating power in the Galactic Republic's chief executive and assembling a large army of hastily cloned soldiers—surreptitiously conditioned to obey certain key commands issued by Palpatine.
In a tragic irony, Amidala's sheer horror at discovering Skywalker's collaboration with Sidious in destroying the Jedi would itself be the cause of her death during childbirth, though Sidious would trick Skywalker into believing that an episode of Skywalker's physical abuse of Amidala had been the actual cause of her death.
Skywalker's subsequent emotional collapse would lead him to fully embrace the dark side of the Force and assume the persona of Darth Vader , Lord of the Sith.
With Darth Vader at his side, the Emperor would rule the newly styled Galactic Empire for approximately 20 years as its Emperor.
Initially unknown to Vader and Sidious, two children were delivered by Padme before her death. The Rebels episode "Twilight of the Apprentice" features a forbidden planet called Malachor, [20] home of an ancient Sith temple.
Thousands of years prior, a battle was waged on Malachor that resulted in the deaths of its inhabitants.
He is discovered by Maul, and together, they use the Force cooperatively to solve a series of tests, and retrieve a Sith Holocron.
With the help of Kanan and Ahsoka, they fought three Inquisitors, all of whom are killed by Maul. Maul then betrays his allies, blinding Kanan, and proceeds to activate the superweapon.
Maul is defeated by a sightless Kanan, and Darth Vader arrives with the intention of retrieving the holocron, but is challenged by Ahsoka, his former Padawan.
While the superweapon is preparing to fire, Kanan and Ezra retrieve the holocron and escape, preventing the weapon of mass destruction from being used.
Even though the temple is destabilized, Ahsoka and Vader keep fighting to the death within the rapidly crumbling building, until it eventually explodes, wounding Vader.
Luke would be secretly tutored in the ways of the Force by Vader's own former Jedi master, Obi-Wan Kenobi , and a powerful elder Jedi, Yoda , who also survived Palpatine's purge.
Ironically, during a final confrontation between Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader and the Emperor aboard a mobile battle station known as the Death Star , the Sith lineage would end as Darth Bane prescribed that it proceed.
Darth Sidious offered Skywalker an ultimatum to enter his service or die, and proceeded to use his Force-derived powers to torture and kill Skywalker when the latter refused to embrace the Dark Side of the Force.
Experiencing a crisis of conscience at the imminent death of Skywalker, whom Vader now knew to be his son, Darth Vader chose to intervene and kill his former master, Sidious fulfilling the prophecy of the Chosen One.
Vader would die of his own injuries shortly thereafter, thus apparently bringing an end to the Sith and their ancient vendetta.
The film The Rise of Skywalker depicts the climax of the conflict between the Sith and the Jedi, [25] and features the group known as the Sith Eternal , led by a resurrected Darth Sidious.
When Sidious meets his final demise at the hands of his granddaughter, Rey , the moment also marks the definitive end of the Sith. Originally the eldest son of an aristocratic family from the planet Naboo , he rose to power within the Galactic Republic's government system starting from Senator of his homeworld, then to Supreme Chancellor of the Republic, and finally to self-proclaimed Emperor of the Galactic Empire.
This was done by cultivating a public image as a humble and competent politician while secretly mastering dark Sith arts studying under Plagueis, and planning the destruction of the Jedi Order and Republic.
Eventually, by manipulating disaffected political groups and using double agents to sow discord, Palpatine fomented a civil war that provided an opportunity for him to seize absolute power.
He was eventually betrayed and killed by his last, Vader, at the end of Return of the Jedi. Darth Sidious' death marked what appears to be the definitive end of the Sith.
In Legends continuity, Darth Sidious would return using clones and ancient Sith powers, returning in several clone bodies over the course of several novels and comics.
During this time he would briefly turn Luke Skywalker to the dark side of the Force through sheer power as much as by guile, though Luke would later be redeemed by his sister Leia and restored to the light side of the Force and defeated Palpatine once and for all.
Shortly before his first death, Palpatine had sent a psychic command through the Force to Mara Jade , planting in her the need to kill Luke.
She eventually fulfilled this command by slaying a clone of Luke called Luke Skywalker, whom Palpatine had made in an attempt to use him against the original, though this plot ultimately would fail due to Mara's fatal attack on the clone.
He first appeared in Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace , where he was ordered by his master to capture Queen Amidala of Naboo in order for her to sign a treaty that would legalize the Trade Federation's invasion of the planet.
After tracking the Queen's personal starship to Tatooine, he briefly attacked Qui-Gon Jinn , the Jedi sent to escort Amidala to Coruscant, but he escaped.
Though he managed to kill Jinn, he was then defeated by Kenobi, who sliced him in half, leading to everyone, including Sidious, to believe he had died.
In reality, however, Maul survived his injuries and ended up on the junk planet Lotho Minor , where he would become a cyborg and be driven to insanity.
He was eventually rescued by his brother Savage Opress twelve years later, during the Clone Wars. After being provided with a pair of new robotic legs by the Nightsisters, led by Maul's mother, Talzin , he sought revenge against Kenobi.
In the process, he recruited several crime syndicates to his cause, forming the Shadow Collective. He took over Mandalore , only to be defeated and captured by Sidious.
Maul later escaped and managed to rebuild his criminal empire. Near the end of the war, he engineered a conflict on Mandalore to lure out and kill Anakin Skywalker.
Ahsoka Tano was sent to deal with him instead, and he was captured, only to be freed by Tano when Sidious executed Order 66 , causing the clone troopers to turn on their Jedi generals.
During the Galactic Empire era, Maul, having abandoned his Sith persona, led the Crimson Dawn crime syndicate, until being stranded on the Sith world of Malachor for years.
He escaped after meeting Jedi Padawan Ezra Bridger , whom he attempts to turn to the dark side, and later forced to assist in locating Kenobi.
Upon tracking him down to Tatooine , he confronted Kenobi and fought him one final time. Maul was fatally injured and died in Kenobi's arms, realizing that the latter was looking after the boy he believed to be the Chosen One and would one day avenge those who had suffered because of Sidious and the Sith, including Maul.
Dooku was a former Jedi Master who was trained by Grandmaster Yoda and took on Qui-Gon Jinn as his apprentice, but later became disillusioned with the Galactic Republic 's Senate, realizing that immediate change was needed in order to maintain peace, and turned to the dark side of the Force.
He played an important role in Sidious' plans to take over the galaxy, engineering the Clone Wars by recruiting the bounty hunter Jango Fett as the template for a clone army that would be used by the Republic, and forming the Confederacy of Independent Systems, consisting of numerous planets and systems who wanted to become independent from the Republic.
Dooku served as the figurehead of the Separatist Alliance throughout the Clone Wars until meeting his demise at the hands of Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith , who decapitated him at Chancellor Palpatine's secretly Darth Sidious urgings, thus revealing that Sidious never cared about Dooku and merely used him to aid his plans.
Dooku was succeeded by Anakin himself, who fell to the dark side of the Force shortly after and became Sidious' third apprentice, Darth Vader, accomplishing what Dooku couldn't: helping Sidious wipe out the Jedi Order and form the Galactic Empire.
Darth Vader Anakin Skywalker was a male human-cyborg Dark Lord of the Sith and the third and final apprentice of Darth Sidious, who first appeared in the Star Wars original trilogy , and later in the prequel trilogy.
After being sent by Sidious to assassinate the Separatist council members on Mustafar, Vader was badly injured in a duel with Kenobi, resulting in the loss of his remaining organic arm, both legs, and severe burn injuries.
He was saved by Sidious, and encased in a black suit of armor with extensive cybernetics which kept him alive. As the Galactic Empire was established and continued to grow, Vader became the Emperor's immensely feared second-in-command and was given the task of finding surviving Jedi and the Rebel Alliance 's base.
After the destruction of the first Death Star , Vader was charged with tracking down the Rebel Alliance and destroying their headquarters.
However, the actions of his son, Luke Skywalker , eventually turned Vader against his master, resulting in both Sidious' and Vader's deaths, as well as the fulfilment of the Chosen One prophecy.
He was a paranoid man, who believed that his followers were secretly plotting to overthrow him, which eventually came true, as they betrayed and attacked him, seeking to steal his power.
Forced to flee from Korriban , Andeddu created the world of Prakith, where he would rule as a deity for several centuries until meeting his demise and entombing himself to prevent his followers from stealing his secrets even in death.
Prior to his death, he would also create a Sith holocron to store all his knowledge, including the ability to cheat death by transferring one's essence into another vessel, and his cult, called "the Malevolence", would create a temple in the reverence of the Dark Lord, believing that one day he would return.
The legend of Andeddu and his incredible power remained at large long after his death, despite the Jedi Order's attempt to erase all knowledge and reference about the Sith.
In the Star Wars canon, Andeddu is only mentioned in The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary , where, even though his backstory is never explained, it is revealed that Darth Sidious' Sith Eternal cult still had knowledge of Andeddu thousands of years after his death and had the 5th Legion of Sith Troopers named after him.
He owned two crossguard lightsabers, which were found and given away by the smuggler Sana Starros after the Battle of Yavin.
The anger possessed by Atrius when wielding both these crossguard lightsabers at the same time, carried over to the weapons themselves, and can transfer over to their new owners.
These lightsabers were eventually destroyed by Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker, thus possibly erasing all knowledge about Atrius himself.
According to the legend, Caldoth eventually gained a Sith apprentice, the Twi'lek Ry Nymbis, and they were considered the two most powerful individuals in the galaxy at one point.
Caldoth killed his own apprentice with a Sith ritual that turned the person's body into stone when he felt Nymbis was going to betray him.
With the ritual, Nymbis was trapped in an eternal nightmare. He lived at an unknown point in time before Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace and was seduced to the dark side after losing his faith in the Jedi Order, believing that the Jedi should retain their family ties and wealth.
His most notable feats were taking part in the Battle of Wasted Years, where the Sith emerged victorious, and taming the Nightmare Conjunction.
Her voice was heard by Count Dooku during his time as a Jedi Padawan, in a Force vision that he had after encountering the Presagers of Hakotei on Asusto.
In this vision, Skrye claimed that the Sith were reborn before activating a superweapon called the Cauldron, which destroyed a planet. He lived at an unknown point in time before Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace , and was best known for coming back to life after being killed by the Jedi Order, in order to fight them once again.
The legend of Darth Wrend would come to Qui-Gon Jinn 's mind during his time as a Padawan, who opened the holocron of prophecy, which contained numerous prophecies of which several dated ten thousand years prior.
One of the prophecies said that evil would disappear yet appear again once the righteous had lost its light, which many believed that was referring to the return of the Sith.
At that time, Qui-Gon believed that the prophecy talked about Darth Wrend's return from the dead and that it had already been fulfilled, although it would later be revealed that the prophecy referred to the Jedi learning about Darth Sidious' existence and that the Sith had lived in secret for almost a millennium.
In the Legends continuity, Darth Desolous was a male Pau'an Dark Lord of the Sith who was expelled from the Jedi Order due to his violent nature and trained an army of fellow Pau'an warriors to fight them, but ended up falling into a trap set by the Jedi and perished in battle.
His image would later be incorporated in the training simulations at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. In the Star Wars canon, Darth Desolous is only mentioned in The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary , where, even though his backstory is never explained, it is revealed that Darth Sidious' Sith Eternal cult still had knowledge of Desolous thousands of years after his death and had the 44th Legion of Sith Troopers named after him.
In the Legends continuity, Darth Phobos was a Theelin Dark Lady of the Sith with mind manipulation abilities, who killed many of her fellow Sith in a bid of power and formed a cult to worship her, but was ultimately killed by the combined forces of the Jedi and Sith.
Her image would later be incorporated in the training simulations at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. In the Star Wars canon, Darth Phobos is only mentioned in The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary , where, even though her backstory is never explained, it is revealed that Darth Sidious' Sith Eternal cult still had knowledge of Phobos thousands of years after her death and had the 39th Legion of Sith Troopers named after her.
Once Jedi heroes who led the Republic to victory in the Mandalorian Wars, Revan and his comrade, Alek, turned to the dark side after stumbling upon the Sith Empire, hidden in the Unknown Reaches of space, and being tortured by the Sith Emperor.
As a Sith, Revan prepared to battle with the Jedi who boarded his flagship, but Malak, in the hopes of destroying both Revan and Bastila Shan , betrayed his master, ordering the ships under his command to fire on Revan's flagship's bridge.
The Council chose to wipe Revan's memory, and imprint him with a false identity. Revan later awoke on a starship under attack and encountered Malak, who eventually revealed the truth of his identity.
Following this, Revan defeated Malak in a final battle, claiming victory for the Republic. Revan later married Bastila Shan with the approval of the Jedi Council and eventually departed into the Unknown Regions to confront the Sith Emperor, but was imprisoned for years until his descendant Satele Shan rescued him.
However, due to being imprisoned for centuries, his lighter half had perished and became a Force spirit, leaving only his darker half, which sought to destroy the Sith Emperor once and for all.
Since the Emperor's physical body had already been destroyed, leaving only his spirit, Revan planned to resurrect him so that he could then kill him for good.
However, he was ultimately defeated by the combined forces of the Republic and his lighter half. The two halves of Revan then merged in peace and died for the final time, although, unbeknownst to everyone, the Sith Emperor had been resurrected and escaped into the galaxy.
Following his death, Revan would be remembered by the galaxy for thousand of years, both as a legendary Jedi hero and one of the most powerful Sith Lords to have ever lived.
In the Star Wars canon, Darth Revan is only mentioned in The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary , where, even though his backstory is never explained, it is revealed that Darth Sidious' Sith Eternal cult still had knowledge of Revan thousands of years after his death and had the 3rd Legion of Sith Troopers named after him.
Once a sculptor, he was imprisoned at a young age for his creations, which scared most people who saw them. Momin was eventually rescued by a woman named Shaa, who trained him in the dark ide of the Force and whom he eventually killed after believing that he had become more powerful than his master.
Momin then built a superweapon to destroy an entire city and perished when the Jedi intervened to stop him, losing control over the energy he wielded and causing his physical body to be destroyed, leaving only his mask with his consciousness inside.
Years later, the mask would be retrieved from the Jedi Archive vault by Darth Sidious, who gave it to his apprentice Darth Vader as a gift for his journey to Mustafar , which Vader sought to make his personal stronghold.
After Momin's spirit killed some of his personnel, Vader examined the mask and learned of Momin's past, before letting him possess the body of a Mustafarian and build a fortress for him.
Shortly after Momin finished building of the fortress, Vader was distracted by an invasion of Mustafarians, which Momin took advantage of to open the door to the Dark Side and resurrect himself.
However, after challenging Vader to a duel, Momin met a quick demise by being crushed with a giant rock. Despite Momin's death, his dark essence would remain in the mask for years to come.
At one point, Momin's mask was located aboard the Imperial yacht Imperialis , when a group of thieves led by Lando Calrissian attempt to rob the ship.
After Momin's spirit possessed the bodies of two thieves, the others abandoned them and destroyed the ship, seemingly ending Momin's legacy.
Luke Skywalker later learned about Momin and his history during his travels across the galaxy, and described the Sith Lord's role in building Vader's fortress in his book, titled The Secrets of the Jedi.
He is best known for establishing the Rule of Two, which was considered the beginning of the modern Sith within the Star Wars canon.
In the Star Wars canon, Darth Bane's backstory as the only Sith surivor of the Jedi-Sith war and the creator of the Rule of Two is mostly unchanged, though not much else is known about him.
Bane was also originally set to appear in the episode "Ghosts of Mortis" alongside Darth Revan, but they were both ultimately cut. In the Legends continuity, Darth Tenebrous Rugess Nome was a male Bith Dark Lord of the Sith with the power of foreseeing the future, including his own death, and the master of both Darth Plagueis and Darth Venamis, the latter of whom he kept secret as it was a violation of the Rule of Two.
His public persona was Rugess Tome, a legendary artisanal starship designer with a galaxy-spanning reputation, and he was known for being a scientific genius and master planner, as well as for his breathing apparatus.
Tenebrous' secret plan was to possess the Chosen One once he would appear, but he was eventually killed by Plagueis during a mission on the planet Ban'demnic.
However, Tenebrous wasn't too surprised at Plagueis's betrayal and instead congratulated him with his dying breath, because his conscience would soon be able to enter his apprentice's body.
Despite managing to cheat death, Tenebrous' plan failed, because, during his time in Plagueis' body, he foresaw him being killed by his own apprentice before the appearance of the Chosen One, meaning that Tenebrous would never be able to possess him.
Tenebrous then tried to escape from Plagueis' body, but only saw the mummified remains of his original body, as decades had passed since his death.
As such, Tenebrous was cursed to remain a vague spirit for the rest of eternity, unable to gain a physical body ever again. In the Star Wars canon continuity, Darth Tenebrous is only mentioned in The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary , where, even though his backstory is never explained, it is revealed that Darth Sidious' Sith Eternal cult still had knowledge of Tenebrous many years after his death and had the 26th Legion of Sith Troopers named after him.
In the film, Sidious as Palpatine uses Plagueis' story to seduce Anakin Skywalker to the dark side, claiming that Plagueis' abilities in the Force grew to such an extent that he could create life by influencing microscopic force-sensitive entities called "midi-chlorians," and even save people from dying.
According to the Rule of Two, Plagueis was eventually killed by Sidious in his sleep, who subsequently became the new Sith Master and would later take on an apprentice of his own.
He is the main character of the non-canonica novel, Star Wars: Darth Plagueis. Although not official Sith, several other dark side users in the service of the Sith were present during the Clone Wars and the initial years of the Galactic Empire.
After tracking the young war hero to the planet Muunilinst, Ventress engaged Anakin's Republic fighter forces fighting above the Separatist-occupied world and baited him in a chase to Yavin 4 , where a fierce battle from the forest to the Massassi temple took place.
Though she initially gained the upper hand in the ensuing lightsaber duel, Anakin called upon his immense connection to the Force to brutally overpower her, causing the Dathomirian to fall over the edge of a cliff.
She luckily survived the landing and continued to serve her master throughout the Clone Wars on several occasions.
In Star Wars: The Clone Wars , Ventress was a recurring antagonist during the first seasons, as she assisted Dooku with several schemes, most of which were thwarted by the Jedi.
After being replaced with Savage Opress for her failures, Ventress returned to the Nightsisters until General Grievous led a massacre against them, which only she and Mother Talzin survived.
From there, she helped Boba Fett 's team of bounty hunters on a dangerous mission, which thus marked the start of her own bounty hunting career.
In the novel, she teamed up with Jedi Quinlan Vos to assassinate Count Dooku, and, along the way, the two fell in love. However, their attempt to kill Dooku failed, and Dooku captured Vos, turning him to the dark side.
Ventress managed to turn Vos back, but died saving him from an angered Dooku and was later buried on Dathomir, amongst her fallen sisters.
Originally a Nightbrother under Mother Talzin on Dathomir, he was handpicked by Asajj Ventress as part of her scheme to kill Darth Tyrannus for the attempt on her life.
His mind was eventually altered by the Nightsisters, making him more of a berserker on Ventress' call to the point of killing his brother Feral without remorse.
Opress managed to become Tyrannus' new Shadow Hand and learned only a little about the ways of the Sith before Ventress had him help her fight their master due to his actions under him getting unwanted attention from the Jedi.
However, in the heat of the moment and provoked by both of them, Opress tried to kill both Tyrannus and Ventress before escaping back to Dathomir. There, he was instructed by Mother Talzin to find Maul so that he could complete his training to defend himself against the numerous enemies he had made.
After finding his long-lost brother as a shell of his former self on a junk planet, Opress managed to stir up Maul's grudge with Obi-Wan Kenobi to aid him in his revenge against the Jedi.
From there, the Zabrak duo were able to set up a Confederacy against the Republic separate from the Separatists, and soon took over Mandalore.
However, they received an unexpected visit by Darth Sidious, who considered Maul's sudden rise to power a threat to his rule, and dueled both him and Opress.
The latter met a quick demise after being stabbed with Sidious' two lightsabers, and died in Maul's arms. The Inquisitors were an organization of Force-sensitive warriors in the service of the Galactic Empire prior to the events of A New Hope , where it is implied that they all became defunct, as Darth Vader and Darth Sidious were the only known Force-wielders at that time.
Most of them were former Jedi, who had lost their faith in the Jedi Order and succumbed to the dark side, during or shortly after the Clone Wars.
They were all recruited into the Empire and trained by Darth Vader, who tasked them with hunting down other survivors of the Great Jedi Purge, as well as other Force-sensitive individuals, mostly children, to prevent them from becoming future Jedi.
Among the known Inquisitors were:. Although not official Sith, several dark side users were present in the years following the fall of the Galactic Empire and during the conflict between the Resistance and the First Order.
Snoke was an artificial being created by Darth Sidious and his Sith Eternal cult on Exegol , and a major antagonist in the Star Wars sequel trilogy.
He was also behind the destruction of Luke Skywalker 's Jedi Temple and the deaths of most of his students, in an attempt to wipe out the Jedi Order once and for all.
He was ultimately killed by Ren, after failing to foresee his betrayal. Kylo Ren Ben Solo was a former Jedi and powerful dark side wielder, and one of the main antagonists of the Star Wars sequel trilogy.
He was born as the son of Leia Organa and Han Solo , and trained under his uncle, Luke Skywalker , to become a Jedi, but was seduced to the dark side by Snoke.
Adopting the alias Kylo Ren, he helped eliminate his uncle's new generation of Jedi and became the leader of the Knights of Ren and a high-ranking member of the First Order.
He trained under Snoke to become a powerful dark side wielder, and later proved his loyalty by killing his father when he tried to help him get redeemed.
However, Ren eventually betrayed and killed his master after siding with the Jedi Padwan Rey , with whom he shared a unique connection called a "dyad in the Force".
However, instead of turning back to the light side, he took over as the new Supreme Leader of the First Order, and invited Rey to join him, but she refused.
Later, Ren had a confrontation with Luke, only to discover that he was a Force projection, meant to distract him and allow the Resistance to escape; nontheless, Luke died as a result of the effort to create the projection, leaving Rey the only living Jedi.
Eventually, Ren discovered that the Sith Lord Darth Sidious was still alive and plotted to kill this potential rival, but instead sided to him after he revealed the Final Order, a massive fleet of Xyston -class Star Destroyers equipped with axial superlasers capable of decimating entire planets, which he promised to give Ren control of in exchange for killing Rey, revealed to be his grandaughter.
Secretly, however, Ren planned to have Rey help him kill Sidious, and engaged her in a duel when she refused, which Ren lost after his mother gave her life to reach out to him through the Force.
After a conversation with a memory of his late father, Ben Solo was redeemed and came to Rey's aid in defeating Sidious.
After Rey died to kill the Sith Lord, Ben revived her using the Force, and shared a kiss with her, but then died as a result of using all his life energy to save her, becoming one with the Force.
The Knights of Ren were an organization of masked Force-wielding warriors, who served as antagonists in the Star Wars sequel trilogy.
The Knights were neither Sith or Jedi, but a new generation of dark side warriors that emerged to fill the void left by the supposed demise of the last Sith Lords, Darth Sidious and Darth Vader.
They had a code, to which they were flexible in the following: living life the way they wanted, taking what the galaxy gave them, and consuming what the dark side sent them.
Their name came from a lightsaber called "Ren", which was at the base of their code and could only be wielded by their leader.
After his fall to the dark side, Ben Solo joined the Knights and eventually killed Ren, becoming their new leader, under the alias Kylo Ren, knighting his former fellow Padawan Voe as a knight through her shoulders, before reforging her lightsaber into one for himself.
After Kylo became the Supreme Leader of the First Order, the Knights became his personal guards, though they ultimately sided with the resurrected Darth Sidious after Ben Solo returned to the light side, which led to their demise at the hands of the redeemed Ben.
They are also revealed to have artificially created and cloned Snoke , [33] whom Palpatine used as a puppet to control the First Order and seduce Kylo Ren to the dark side.
The novelization of The Rise of Skywalker goes into more detail about how Palpatine transferred his consciousness into the cloned body the Sith Eternal prepared for him.
Following the acquisition of Lucasfilm by The Walt Disney Company , Lucasfilm rebranded most of the licensed Star Wars novels, comics, and other fictional media published since the original film previously identified as the Star Wars Expanded Universe as Star Wars Legends and declared them non-canonical to the franchise in April Over the course of centuries of intermingling between the ethnic Sith and Dark Jedi, the name "Sith" would come to apply to the martial philosophy and political affiliation created by the former Jedi exiles on Korriban, rather than a specific race.
This Sith regime would strike out at the Galactic Republic and Jedi on numerous occasions. In the story, Darth Vader tries to get the Kyber Crystal to use it for his evil schemes.
