Ranks within the Brotherhood of the
Sith
Prior to becoming indoctrinated
into the ways of the Sith, members of the Sith Brotherhood recieve Jedi
training. They are taught to manipulate the Force, use a lightsaber,
and open themselves up to the dark side. Once they have mastered
the Force, they are initiated into the ranks of the Sith and taught more
advanced Dark Side techniques as well as Sith practices.
The Brotherhood ranks its
members as follows:
Dark Jedi
Aspirant:
Those who wish to follow the ways of the Sith begin here, learning rudimentary
force skills while being tested for their potential within the Order.
Padawan
Learner: Here, the aspiring Sith recieves their first lightsaber,
a generic red-bladed weapon which will be their's until they learn how
to create their own lightsaber. They are taught more advanced Force
skills and combat techniques. It is generally during this stage that
their aptitudes come to prominance, and thus their method of training is
decided upon. They also learn to channel the Dark Side of the
Force, though only in minor ways.
Dark
Jedi Knight: When their training in the Force is complete,
a test is administered to the student. It is different for all of
them but it is designed to test their skills and grasp of the Force as
well as their adherence to the Sith teachings. It is culminated by
the construction of their own lightsaber, upon which they are declared
Dark Knights and the decision is made on whether they will be fully indoctrinated
into the Sith is made. It is at this point that they may be given
students of their own, an Aspirant to tuter in the ways of the Force.
Sith
Sith
Initiate: Once their initial training is complete and the decision
to induct a Dark Jedi into the ranks of the Sith is made, they begin here.
Akin to the rank of Padawan, they are considered to know nothing, and any
prestige they might have attained as a Dark Jedi is quickly forgotten.
In essence, their training begins anew.
Sith
Warrior/Sith Acolyte: There are two paths to power among the
Sith; the Way of the Warrior and the Path of the Acolyte. Rarely
does one ascribe to both. The path of the Sith warrior is one of
constant combat conditioning and advanced weapons training. They
are taught the lore of the Sith, but most of their emphasis is placed on
combat. The Sith Acolyte learns more subtle traits. Less emphasis
is placed on combat and more is placed on ancient and arcane lore.
Sith
Master: The pinacle of training within the Brotherhood, only
one Sith may attain this rank, essentially assuming the mantle of Sith
Apprentice within the Brotherhood, second only to Lord Jax himself.
Currently, no one holds this rank.
Sith
Lord: Only the head of the Order, Lord Jax, holds this rank.
