The Sith Council


_
Description

Eight Sith Lords and Imperials were chosen by the Empress to sit upon the Sith Council, which acted much like the Warlords of the old Jedi Exiles, but with a more unified vision. Each member of the Sith Council controlled an aspect of the Sith Empire (i.e., the military, intelligence, sorcery, etc.) and, together, they legislated the law of the Sith Empire. However, all ultimately answered to the Empress, who held sole power in the Empire. The Empress could appoint them or dismiss them at will.



Structure

The Sith Council is made up of the most powerful members of both the Sith and Imperial military. Each individual oversees a portion of the Empire to ensure that it runs with maximum efficiency. There are nine seats on the Council as follows:
  • Empress
  • Dark Lord
  • High Judge
  • High Executioner
  • High Arcanist
  • High Inquisitor
  • Supreme Overseer - Non Force User
  • Grand Moff - Non Force User or Force User
  • War Master - Non Force User or Force User

Roles and Expectations

Empress

The ultimate authority within the Empire, the Sith Empress is not a true sitting member of the Council, but all of its members serve at her pleasure and are ultimately reportable to her. Disobedience or disloyalty to her - regardless of one's position on the Council - is a treasonous offense.​

Dark Lord of the Sith

The Dark Lord of the Sith is the highest position on the Council and second in the Empire only to the Empress herself. His role is that of the right hand to the Empress and he oversees the Council and its members, ensuring that they act appropriately and are performing their duties as expected. He provides support to the other members of the Council, is appointed by the Empress, and enables the other members of the Council to operate with maximum efficiency. It is also his sole duty to manage and maneuver the Imperial fleet for both offense and defense and its full position is known only to the Dark Lord and the Empress.​

High Judge

The High Judge is the primary peacekeeper within the Empire. He oversees the execution of justice and laws within the Empire. He is responsible for putting down insurrection, rooting out traitors, and ensuring that the laws are being upheld. He is the final petition for those seeking pardon and mercy within the Empire.​

High Executioner

The High Executioner is the leader of the Imperial intelligence gathering and covert warfare division. He oversees the spies, assassins, and saboteurs of the Empire. The High Executioner is the one who is relied upon to organize, coordinate, and launch deniable operations as well as gather information about other factions and develop spies among allies and enemies alike.​

High Arcanist

The High Arcanist is responsible for developing and teaching complex Dark Side techniques. The means of doing this are varied from recruiting Dark Side cults, developing Sith artifacts and tools, or inventing and practicing new Dark Side techniques. He is the primary consult for information about the Dark Side and its mysteries.​

High Inquisitor

The High Inquisitor leads the Inquisition, an elite group of 10 Masters tasked with the more delicate operations that the Empire needs done. They are an exclusive group, each member handpicked and vetted thoroughly before being sent out into the field, where they partake in specialized combat, hostage extraction, and many others classified activities. They operate with a decent degree of autonomy under the High Inquisitor, but ultimately respond to the Empress.​

Supreme Overseer

The Supreme Overseer is the primary manager for Imperial supplies and is responsible for all operations to protect Imperial space from foreign invasion. It is the Supreme Overseer who focuses on making sure that the Imperials are well supplied and has the means to produce the equipment it needs. It seizes shipyards for the Imperials, obtains means of producing weapons, and maintains Imperial supply lines.​

Grand Moff

The Grand Moff oversees the diplomatic operations of the Empire. Reaching out as representatives of the Empire to the Republic and other local planetary governments, the Grand Moff is responsible for ensuring the public eye is on the good that the Empire has done and helps act as the public face of the Empire, shaping the galaxy's view.​

War Master

The War Master is responsible for planning and executing operations to expand the Empire's borders. This officer is the one who primarily oversees large expansions of territory and offensives against other factions. Planning and coordinating military operations into enemy territory is the primary role of the War Master.​
