Sith Lord

A Sith Lord is a fictional title featured in the Star Wars multimedia franchise. It refers to one who is in a position of authority within the ranks of the Order of the Sith. The Sith are a group of individuals who are practiced in the ways of The Force, but utilize a form known as the Dark Side of the Force, which embraces personal gain and the acquisition of power.

The proper form of address for a Sith Lord, is Darth. When one is indoctrinated into the ways of the Sith, they forsake their given name and adopt a new Sith name, one that usually carries an heir of menace about it, such as Darth Sidious, Darth Tyranus, Darth Maul, etc.

The history of the Sith goes back more than one-thousand generations, and they have waged an unending battle against their light-side counterparts, the Order of the Jedi.

Due to the nature of self-centered behavior that governs the Sith, it was inevitable that the group would fall into a period of intense in-fighting. Sith Lord Darth Bane established the Rule of Two, which meant that only two Sith Lords could be active at any one time.
