A Sith Inquisitor is the title of one of five distinct schools of thought which a member of the Sith can decide to study under following their ascension to the rank of Darth, the other four being Sorcerer, Acolyte, Infiltrator, or Eradicator. Sith Inquisitors are a class of powerful Force-wielders within the Sith Empire, operating primarily within the upper echelons and political circles. In contrast to their counterparts, Inquisitors specialize in Force abilities as opposed to martial might, and many devote much time to researching new skills to survive in the cutthroat Sith political environment. Few tyro succeed in becoming Inquisitors. However, those that do prove to be the most determined.
On the battlefield, Inquisitors were a spectacle to behold, channeling vast amounts of Dark Side Force energy to create massive storms of Force lightning, or draining the life force of enemies to feed themselves and their allies. However, most Inquisitors preferred a more manipulative operating style, being masters of exploiting both enemies and allies to further their own agendas.
