2. Laws of the Land
- The harming of fellow Sith, Allies, Division members, and Visitors is forbidden, unless when taking part in an honorable duel or when acting in self defense.
Harming the protected parties may be permitted in an official event that calls for such actions (Tournaments, Practice Raids, etc)
- Flaming, Insulting, Racism, Immaturity Rude remarks directly aimed at an individual's appearance, beliefs, rank, family, or personal issues is strictly prohibited. We are to remain an open and welcoming community. INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.
- The Tombs of the Valley of the Dark Lords will remain inaccessible to anyone under the rank of Sith Initiate. Sith Acolytes may enter the tombs only during an official event, hosted by a Sith Overseer+
There will be no entrance into the Dark Council chambers, unless invited in by a Dark Councilor+. Alternatively, if a hostile runs into the Council chambers, anyone above an Advanced Path rank may enter to deal with the hostile, but they must immediately exit the premises once dealt with.
- Any action that directly or indirectly puts a fellow Sith in harm's way will not be taken lightly.
There will be no aiding hostiles in any way, be it allowing entrance into the Academy or leading astray your fellow Sith who are searching for said hostile.
Joining the Hostile team requires permission by a Darth+
- All members of the Sith Order are to keep a Star Wars themed appearance at all times while inside a group map. Everyone under the rank of Sith Master are to maintain their appearance via in-game morphs. Sith Masters and up are allowed to refuse a morph; however, they must still maintain a Star Wars themed appearance.
While in the presence of a Darth or higher, it is customary to bow. Etiquette states that you stay in a bow position until they give you the command to rise, or until they walk away.
Sith Knights and all Advanced Paths are allowed to take on a single Apprentice at any given time.
Sith Overseers, Sith Masters, and Sith Lords are allowed to have up to two Apprentices.
Darths and Dark Councilors may take on a maximum of three Apprentices at any given time.
Members of the Powerbase and higher may take on as many Apprentices as they wish, within reason and for any reason.
- Any kind of abuse of power will lead to severe punishments. This includes, but is not limited to, free ranking, abusing authority, admin abuse, etc.
While this section of the Law is more applicable to High Ranking members of the Sith Order, this law binds us all. It is frowned upon for anyone to abuse their power, but it is especially illegal when someone of stature does so.
Glitching is not allowed, and exploiting will result in an IMMEDIATE ban.
Should anyone fail a training, there will be no negative side-effects. Failing a trial, however, can have some hefty drawbacks. Depending on the rank you were trialing for, you will be forced to take a period of sabbatical. Generally the higher the rank, the longer the wait time.
When an individual passes a training, they will receive either a PM or a whisper message from the host with the following message: “You have passed my training as a on .” Once this PM is received, the one who passed the training may use it for their promotion, once they are the proper rank to use that kind of training.

Sith Initiate: Survive and pass the Initiate Trials on Korriban
Sith Apprentice: Must have been an Initiate for at least three days, and have found a Knight+ to train them in the ways of the Force

Then their master must put in a request for their Apprentice to be trialed, which is done by Sith Masters+ and may not be done by the Apprentice’s own master.
- The Knight Trial consists of the following:
Advanced Path (Sorcerer): Must have been a Sith Knight for at least 1 week before requesting their Sorcerer trial. Because Sorcerers were the scholars of the Sith Order, delving into the deepest reaches of the Dark Side, their trial is more so focused around knowledge than combat proficiency.
-
The Sorcerer trial consists of the following:
Advanced Path (Assassin): Must have been a Sith Knight for at least 1 week before requesting their Assassin trial. Assassins balance their lives between unlocking the ancient secrets of the Dark side and honing their combat skills. Their trial shows this relationship.
- The Assassin trial consists of the following:
Advanced Path (Warrior): Must have been a Sith Knight for at least 1 week before requesting their Warrior trial. Sith Warriors were the might of the Order, boasting combat proficiency able to dispatch masses of soldiers.
- The Warrior trial consists of the following:
Sith Overseer: Must have been an Advanced Path knight for at least two weeks before requesting their Overseer trial. This is where the trials start to get difficult.

From this point on, trials will be hosted by a member of at least 1 rank higher than the rank that the individual is trialing for.
Sith Lord: Must have been a Sith Master for at least three weeks before requesting their Lord trials. From here on, individuals being trialed require what’s known as an Approval. These are simply tokens of acknowledgement given by Darths+ which can be attained a number of ways. Just ask them how you can earn their approval and they’ll offer their own task that needs accomplishing.
- Sith Lord trials consist of the following:
Darth: Must have been a Sith Lord for at least one month. This is the highest attainable rank by trials, and as such is the hardest to complete.
- The Darth trial consists of the following:
Dark Council: There are only two ways to become a Dark Council member. One is to have a unanimous vote by the current Dark Council members. The other is to be appointed by the Sith Emperor himself.
Powerbase: The only way to attain this rank is to be appointed to it by the Sith Emperor.

6. Divisions of the Sith Order
The Dark Honor Guard, also known as the Imperial Guard, are a force of elite warriors who serve the Sith Emperor as his protectors and enforcers. The Dark Honor Guard is composed of entirely non-force sensitive individuals mentally bonded to the Emperor; even the Dark Council fear their prowess in combat.
Current Leader: Markus_Arkron (Profile Link Embedded)
Sith Inquisitors are the policing force of the Sith Orders. These brave men and women fight to uphold the Laws of the Sith. In contrast to their counterparts, the Sith Warriors, Inquisitors specialized in Force abilities as opposed to martial might, and many would devote much time to researching new skills to survive in the cutthroat Sith political environment. Few acolytes succeeded in becoming Inquisitors. However, those that did proved to be the most determined.
Current Leader: lordofempire (Profile Link Embedded)
The Dread Masters are six powerful Sith Lords who serve the Dark Lord as prophets, generals, and advisers. They achieve a mastery of the Force unlike any other, and together they are nigh invincible.
Current Leader: N/A (There is no Appointed head of this division)
