Warrior Culture : Sith
Because the galaxy is full of weak minded fools and wont rule itself. UWP
The Sith Code
The Sith
The Sith are a powerful group of force (supernatural powers) users, who are generally maligned by their political and sociological opponents the Jedi as being evil. Looking however at the Sith Code and their guiding principles, it says nothing of evil, it talks about strength, struggle, and the freedom to choose. The power that the force give you shows through to who you really are, and that often leads people to being evil and cruel as parts of there immaturity and lack of general character. Because of this negative stereotype it has lead people towards fulfilling that stereotype (sort of to fit in). Note how many Jedi or Sith have been “redeemed” since they were not truly “bad.”
Evil and cruelty are a choice, they not inherent in the Sith Culture and are absent from its code. Many Sith participate in evil or cruel acts because as the saying goes “Power corrupts.” The Sith offer the freedom to choose (even though most choose poorly) and focuses on strength and power (even though most choose to bully). The Sith understand that peace and negotiations are far from effective and sometimes harsh and violent action must be undertaken in order to succeed. Because kindness is almost always taken for weakness, and because bad people will always take advantage of those they view as weak. The Sith don’t just have power, they use it, and unutilized power or skill is wasted. While their counterparts the Jedi talk to much and act to little. The Jedi follow inflexible and often self harming rules, the Jedi are not agents of good but neutrality, and are far too biased to be even good at that.
A true practitioner of the Sith arts is strong because the focus is that strength, and it’s use becomes whatever the practitioner chooses. Neither tied down by organizational rules, or societal morals, but answering to his or her own code and conscience. As it should be.
Sith Warrior Culture
The Sith strengthen themselves through hardship, building their powers at a much quicker pace than their Jedi counterparts. This accelerated pace often has a degenerative property on the body leading to scars or other physical manifestations.
Utilizing every weapon within their arsenal the Sith conquer, using propaganda,
political manipulation,
Tactical support,
Cutting edge technology
And both lightsaber
And force combat to conquer.
In theory they adhere to a strict survival of the fittest mentality, allowing them to thrive under a solidified hierarchy. Petty Jealousies and ambitions however make this the rule in name only.
Though the Sith have many detractors it cannot be denied that they have very nearly conquered known space several times, and proven resilient in each attempt to genocide them by the “Light Side.” In true fashion only one of their own order was strong enough to destroy the Sith order as they stood, and even then he as the sole survivor built the basis for the Empire that would eventually destroy the republic and bring the Sith to prominence again.

Pattern 1821 Royal Artillery Officer’s Sword
A very shiny example of a late-Victorian artillery officer’s sword. There is a retailer’s name on the ricasso, but I cannot quite read it. The whole sword has been plated, meaning that it looks shiny like new - it has made the blade etching a bit feint, but you can still see it all. There is a little blemishing and loss of plating near the tip, but nothing bad. The whole sword and scabbard are very clean for the age, with a bright blade, firm in the hilt, the hilt is all bright and clean, the grip and wire are basically perfect and the shark skin is still quite dark. Even the leather scabbard covering and sword knot is all in good condition. A very clean sword for the age and very nimble in the hand.
