Inquisitorius

The Imperial Inquisition or simply Inquisiton was an organization of Force-sensitive warriors formed after the fall of the Republic by the Galactic Empire. Trained by Darth Vader, the Inquisitors hunted down and killed any Jedi Knights that survived Order 66, which wiped out the majority of the order. Among their many victims was Luminara Unduli. In addition to killing Jedi, the Inquisitors were sent to find the Force-sensitive children scattered throughout the galaxy and either kill them or shanghai them into service. They were led by The Grand Inquisitor. Of the order, four Inquisitors have been seen thus far, and there may very well be many more. Some, like the Grand Inquisitor himself, were once Jedi, giving them an added edge in their hunts to exterminate the latter from the galaxy.

Organization
The Inquisitors were led by the Grand Inquisitor, and answered only to the Sith, their masters. Darth Vader commanded all Inquisitors, including the Grand Inquisitor.

In terms of rank, Grand Inquisitor was the highest ranking title bestowed on them. All inquisitors beneath that referred to each other by the title of Sister or Brother depending on Gender and by the Rank they had attained. Such examples included Seventh Sister and Fifth Brother. Despite their mutual goal of hunting Jedi, the Inquisitors competed against one another to attain higher ranks. When one was killed, the others of lower rank would compete to claim the rank that had opened up. The Eighth Brother was dispatched to hunt down Darth Maul and retrieve the Sith Holocron he was after.

Powers and Equipment

 * The Force: The Inquisitors were skilled in the ways of the Force. They learned from the Sith that commanded them, or from they Jedi Order before they betrayed it. Though some were very skilled, they were closely watched by Vader and Palpatine to ensure they never became too powerful.


 * Lightsabers: All Inquisitors were armed with red double-bladed spinning lightsabers that allowed them to win duels quickly and easily by catching their opponents off-guard. However, these lightsabers had a weakness in that the openings in the hilt made it easy to destroy it by slicing the spinning components apart.
