The Order of the Sith, also known as the Sith or Sith Order, is the Force-using group closely affiliated with the Galactic Empire.
History
The Order of the Sith has existed longer than most can remember. It has always held close ties with the Galactic Empire, though at times the Sith had their own definition of which person or faction was to be referred to as "Emperor" or "Galactic Empire" respectively. During the times of the Imperial Core the Sith operated completely out of the galaxy's view, until the asumed a more visible role again when they merged with the Imperial Core to form the Dark Empire. After the merger between the Dark Empire and the Galactic Empire, the Sith Order was renamed to Order of the Dark Hand by Vodo Bonias.

The Order of the Sith is led primarily by the Dark Lord of the Sith, who is typically the strongest Sith Master.
