Dark Empire of the Sith Hierarchy
Dark Lord of the SithThe ruler of the Dark Empire, and dictator of the empire as a whole. There is only one Dark Lord of the Sith and there will only every be one, this person is Darth Apocalypse. The Dark Lord of the Sith is recognized by the title Darth in front of the name which means immortality, to cheat death. Emperor above all.
Sith Lord or Sith Council MemberSith Lord is a very powerful member of the Dark Empire, serving directly below the Dark Lord himself. A Sith Lord governs the -[DE]- in a council that consists of ten members including the Dark Lord. Sith Lords preserve order in the -[DE]- and is in charge of the -[DE]- while the Dark Lord is away. If all 10 seats of the Council are filled, and another member proves to better fill the spot of another Lord, then they will fight in a series of trails. If the non-Lord proves to better the defeated Lord, then he/she will be replaced and excluded off the council and deprived of his/her Lord powers. He/she will be demoted to Sith Master or Historian, depending on their profession. Lords are recognized by their title in front of there name like so "Lord" Vader. Respect Lords at you're utter most level or you can possibly feel their wrath.
Sith Master | Sith Prophet | Sith Blade MasterSith Masters are individuals who are known for their unparalleled abilities and have been promoted for such talents. They rule directly below the Council. Masters are individuals that have obtained the rank by mere prestige so they deserve everyone's respect. Masters are those who have the top leadership ability under the Lords of -[DE]- and are possible candidates of being in the Council one day. Masters have the title "Master" in front of their name.
Sith Prophet is somebody who commands as much respect and authority as a Sith Master but however is proficient in the Force rather than Saber combat. Prophets are recognized with the title "Prophet" in the beginning of their name.
Sith Blade Master is somebody again equivalent to a Master, or Prophet. Rather than specializing in Leadership or the Force however a Blade Master focuses primarily on saber combat and can teach many Acolytes how to utilize a lightsaber in Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy. Their skill should be considered before you engage one of them in a duel. Their title is recognized by a -[BM]- tag at the end of their name or "Blade Master" in the beginning of their name.
Sith Marauder | Sith AlchemistThis is a level of ranks beyond that of a Knight/Warrior/Inquisitor and underneath Master/Prophet/Blade Master. They command much respect as all should and are in their 2nd degree in what subject in Jedi knight Jedi Academy they pursue. Such as a Sith Marauder pursues in Lightsaber Combat and a Sith Alchemist pursues in the Dark Side of the Force. Each are equivalent but focus on different specialties. A Marauder is known by the term "Marauder" in front of their name and Alchemist by "Alchemist" in front.
Sith Knight | Sith Warrior | Sith InquisitorAny of these three ranks keep order in the -[DE]- making sure rules are maintained. These are the first ranks who are given great responsibility in the Dark Empire. Receiving the first Admin powered level on the -[DE]- Servers. This doesn't mean they can abuse their power. They must use it to enforce our rules. A Sith Knight is a Sith who is pursuing down their path of Leadership, Warrior to saber combat, and Inquisitor to Dark Force Knowledge. Knights are recognized with -[K]- at the end of their name. Warriors by the tag -[W]- and Inquisitors by the tag -[Inq]- at the end of players name. Or simply by placing the title directly in front of the players name.
Sith ApprenticeDo not be confused as a Sith Apprentice primary rank is not a member who is being taught exclusively by a Lord or Master. Sith Apprentice primary rank is more that this person has for filled all the previous required ranks and needs to be the apprentice of the Dark Empire in general before choosing a pathway to follow down according to his/her skill choice. These members are discovering their capabilities to the fullest in Jedi Knight Jedi Academy and will discover that this rank is their last mandatory rank before moving on to their choice of specialty. Whether it be Leadership, Force, or saber combat. They are recognized with -[App]- at the end of their names.
Sith Minion
A Sith Minion out ranks an Adept having even more skill and experience than the previous two ranks. Minions are seen with -[M]- at the end of their name and enforce rules as best they can as well as try to improve their skills in any aspect they see fit in Jedi Knight Academy. They are Loyal -[DE]- members. This rank is also required for furthering yourself in -[DE]-.
Sith AdeptAn Adept is the 2nd rank climbing up the -[DE]- hierarchy and is required as a rank. An Adept is classified as a more experienced Acolyte needing less training and focus as they already have much experience in the Jedi knight Academy world. They are mature, respectful, and contribute to the Dark Empire. Adepts are seen by having "Adept" in front of their name.
Sith AcolyteA low ranking individual learning the Dark Empire ways and Sith philosophies. Acolytes make up the largest faction of the Dark Empire, and carry out an important role as they are the future of the empire and create the clans foundation. Without Acolytes the clan has no Empire. Never underestimate an Acolyte as they may secretly have the power to destroy even a Blade Master. Acolytes are the first accepted rank for members coming into -[DE]- and must be taken. Acolytes have no rank tags.. period.
-[DE-T]-'s Also Known as Sith HopefulsSith Hopefuls or Dark Empire Trailer's are people who are not fully Dark Empire members but yet are players that are being trialed to become official -[DE]- members. A Hopeful will be trialed for at LEAST one week and must come on the DE server frequently and be respectful. Eventually if they pass the tests they become Dark Empire material.
Ranking System Shown Below:
Side Ranks :
These are not primary ranks like listed above. Anybody with a primary rank can have a special chosen Side Rank as the Council sees fit. Side ranks are levels of classification that have no direct authority over any member of the Dark Empire, but are still given specific responsibilities. Members with Side Ranks are not known by any ranking tags but rather know their duty between them and the Council.
Sith Archive AdministratorA Sith Archive Administrator is an individual who holds a server or site for the Dark Empire and maintains proper treatment to each.
Sith ApprenticeThis is NOT the -[App]- Apprentice. This Is one who is being personally trained/trialed by a Lord personally to test their skills and help them advance in the -[DE]- in any aspect the Lord sees fit. These apprentices can have any responsibility their personal Master gives them.
Sith Guardian Is a rank of a knight who has become a protector of a Lord their job is to only protect their lord and do as the lord asks without question.
Sith Historian There is only ever one Historian in -[DE]- at one given time and this person must be at LEAST a Sith Master for a primary rank or higher. Historians know most of all the given official Star Wars universe. Ask them for any questions you may have about Star Wars. Historians are powerful do not underestimate their abilities. They have a tag that over laps their primary since Historian is a VERY prestigious rank. "Historian" is seen in front of their name. The current Historian is Master Martyr.
Sith'AriThis rank shall only be given to one person who is seen as a champion of the Dark Empire in the eyes of our Dark Lord and the Lords of the council at the moment this rank belongs to no one this rank is the greatest honor that one can have and must be respected by all. This rank has never been given to any individual in the -[DE]- but if it is given out the player shall have [Sith'ari] at the end of his/her name.
