Welcome to the Dark Side



History

The Sith are dedicated to the “Sith Code” and to mastering the dark side of the Force. The Sith Code identifies conflict as the fundamental dynamic of reality and holds that the search for lasting peace, within or without, is both quixotic and misguided. Rather, Sith embrace strife and dark passion as salutary and emancipatory forces, as they believe that violent struggle purges the decadent and weak and that emotions such as aggression and hate provide the strength and resolve to secure freedom through victory. Although Sith seek dominion, Sith philosophy stresses that power belongs only to those with the strength, cunning, and ruthlessness to maintain it, and thus “betrayal” among the Sith is not a vice but an endorsed norm. Accordingly, the Sith reject altruism, self-abnegation, and kindness, as they regard such attitudes as founded on delusions that fetter one’s perceptions and power.

Manifesto

Sith are ruthless and totalitarian by design, in which a supreme autocratic authority is concentrated in a single individual granted the honorific Dark Lord of the Sith. Transfer of power is conducted through state-sanctioned assassinations: when a Sith Lord grows complacent, begins to show weakness, and is eventually killed, their property and authority are transferred to the apprentice who killed them. Robberies, betrayal and sabotage are commonplace; murder is acceptable so long as the culprit is not caught. This kraterocratic system ensures that Sith society nurtures some of the most vicious and competitive individuals in the galaxy, and is only governed by those strong enough to seize control.

Sith philosophy lionizes conflict as a catalyst for growth and as a tool for purging the unworthy. Sith academies were structured with rules, lectures and classes, with an underlying “kill or be killed” mentality amongst the apprentices. Sith emphasises “survival of the fittest” and viewed restraint as a weakness; if one apprentice cannot fulfill their duty and dies serving of their Sith Master, then so be it. Only by culling the weak from their ranks, can the Sith become stronger. Members adhere to master morality, are characterized by the desire to seize power by any means necessary, leveraging force (both physical and supernatural), social maneuvering, and political cunning to their advantage. The Sith cultivate a connection to the dark side of the Force, which provides them with easy access to superhuman power and arcane knowledge; however, the trade-off is the severe cost of adopting a dark triad personality, that corrodes their basic capacity for empathy, kindness and love.
