Sith

""Fear. Fear attracts the fearful. The strong. The weak. The innocent. The corrupt. Fear. Fear is my ally.""

- ~Darth Maul

""Always two, there are; no more, no less. A master and his apprentice.""

- ~Jedi Master Yoda

The Sith are the evil equivalent of the Jedi who use anger, hate, and the dark side of the Force. Only the Sith Lords wield lightsabers. They usually possess red-bladed lightsabers, with the exception of General Greivous, who stole lightsabers from the Jedi he killed. The Sith were originally an alien species from Korriban, but eventually it was used to define the Dark Jedi and their followers. The Sith armies battled the Jedi and the Republic until 1000 BBY; by this time all of the Sith had betrayed and killed each other off in a bloody civil war. There was only one survivor. He was the one who decided to adapt the system of having only two Sith in existence at a time, in order to prevent their ultimate extinction and preserve the dark teachings. Darth Plagueis carried out this tradition and took Palpatine as his apprentice, who would become one of the most feared, powerful, and destructive Sith Lords the Star Wars galaxy has ever known.
