Sith

The Sith Order are an organization in the Star Wars universe whose members dedicate themselves to the Dark Side of the Force which is accessed through negative, uncontrolled, or aggressive emotions and feelings, such as fear, pain, anger, hatred, rage, greed, intense desire, despair, craving, lust, desperation and unrestrained passions. Using any of these emotions while being a Force user, and thereby using the Force, would cause the Dark Side to enhance these emotions beyond the control of the individual, sometimes to the point of mental or emotional instability. It could warp the personality of the individual into a more evil one and turn them to the Dark Side.

The Sith members, known as Sith Lords or Dark Lords of the Sith, traditionally use the title Darth before their Sith name. The Sith are the archenemies of the Jedi and, like them, their main weapon is the lightsaber, only with all of these having a red krystal and blade. They only exist two at a time: a master and an apprentice, and are the main antagonists in the Star Wars film series as well as in many other Expanded Universe works. The Dark Side represents a corruptive and addictive aspect of the Force that is not practiced by the Jedi, who view it as evil. It should also be noted that while a Force user uses the Dark Side, they are not a part of the Sith Order unless they were trained by a Sith Master and made a Sith.
