Story About the Sith Lord

The Sith are a group of characters in the Star Wars fictional universe. They are the central antagonists of the franchise. Characterized by their single-minded pursuit of power and disdain for sentient life, they are an alliance of warrior mages who use the dark side of the Force and serve as counterparts to the Jedi Knights.

The Sith are portrayed in various Star Wars media as individuals who use the dark side to attain power at any cost. The Star Wars prequel films establish that they draw upon strong emotions, both negative and positive, as the source of their power, and care only about themselves. This is in contrast to the Jedi, who are portrayed as forsaking emotional attachment in order to serve others and the galaxy as a whole.

In their later history, members of the Brotherhood of Darkness stopped taking the ceremonial title of "Darth". Darth Bane brought back the tradition to use the title "Darth", meaning "Lord" in the Sith language. He claimed this title when he decided to purge the Sith and bring about the "Rule of Two": one master, one apprentice.
