Warlords of the Sith

[Darth Voyance]

FACTION ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE​

FEUDAL LORDS ON TOP​

DARK SOVEREIGN & THE HIGH-LORDS OF THE SITH Dark Sovereign The Dark Sovereign is the elected Military Dictator and Supreme Commander of the various Sith Warlords and Sith Barons of the Warlords of the Sith. However, unlike other absolute monarchs like the Sith-Imperial Emperor or the dominating Dark Lord of the Sith - the Dark Sovereign is a far more practical title and rank. Rather than an all-powerful Dark Lord who lashes the other Sith Lords into servitude for no use. The Dark Sovereign operates more like General or Prince - their power is granted by the Sith High Lords and their High Lord Court. They are Dictator and Overlord at the patronage of the High Lords. As a result - the Dark Sovereign most constantly work to make sure they are on top of courtly intrigue and the shadowy machinations of the other Sith High Lords. Heavy is the head that wears the dark crown of Dark Sovereign - for all Sith High Lords can challenge the appointment of a Dark Sovereign, whether by ritualistic official means in a Kaggath or by dark treachery of assassination and manipulation of the Election of the High Lords. Currently, the Rank is Held by the Three High Lords of the Warlords: Darth Voyance, Kascalion Giedfield Kascalion Giedfield and Vora Kaar Vora Kaar. High Lords Despite the organizational name "Warlords of the Sith" - the title Warlord applies to any Sith Lord who is a part of the covenant. Actual Feudal Rulership belongs to the Sith High Lords - who rule over the various other Warlords and Sith Baron's from their High Lord's Court The High Lord's are the Sith Political Body that checks and appoints the Dark Sovereign - they are at once the Warlord's greatest force of power and its greatest weakness. Prone to courtly intrigue, Lordly rivalries, and shadowy schemes of ascension (as the Sith Code demands), they are constantly enforcing, growing, or destroying each other to gain political supremacy. In the Feudal Structure of the Warlords - the High Lords are the Feudal Masters of entire worlds (although true governorship is delegated to their enfeoffed Non-FU Governors - The Sith Barons.)

GRAND EXECUTOR & THE SITH BARONS The Grand Executor is the Supreme Secular Commandant of the Warlord's Political, Administrative, and Governing apparatus. While the Sith High Lords and Warlords lord overworlds the real administration of feudal governance is delegated down to the Grand Executor and his Sith Barons. Do not be fooled, they are not servants but Feudal Lords in their own rights - controlling the operations of fiefs and estates across the Warlord's domains. All Sith Barons answer not to the Dark Sovereign but to the Grand Executor and his Privy Council - the Baron's Court In terms of powers the Grand Executor can command the Sith Baron's to counter the actions of Warlords should they find their actions a determent to the overall productivity of the Warlord's holdings. The Grand Executor is a practical and opportunistic cruel tactician straddling the might of the Sith and the ambitions of his secular Sith Barons. As such the Grand Executor is often at odds with the Warlords he governs on behalf of. The Grand Executor has powers to: Inform Macro-Economic, Taxation, Economic, and Monetary Policy Object (and through Sith Baron's) reject Sith Warlord Foreign Policies by denying resources of war Prosecute Sith Barons or Warlords for misuse of resources or damage the faction's operations Mobilize the Sith Battle Chapters to punish insurrections against his policies (with cooperation from the Lord General)

WARLORD'S HORDE [ARMED FORCES & NAVY]​

SITH BATTLE CHAPTERS & CORPS Formed by Darth Voyance during the creation of the Qotsisajakaar (the Keepers of the Sith - the first Schism Sith Order), they Sith Battle Chapters were created with the intelligence gathered from the infant New Imperial Order. Voyance had witnessed first hand the crippling system of Sith Lord Command in military operations under the Sith Empire's Legion structure. Thus, when Voyance seceded from the Sith Empire, she took her own band of soldiers and drilled them to comply to a more secular command. Sith Battle Chapters became their own separate command structure - led by soldiers not Sith Lords and Knights. As such they have developed in a fighting force more meritocratic, kraterocratic, and feudal in nature. The First Chapters like the Red Sons of Korriban and the Embers were forged on Sepulcher - in this moment this was called THE FIRST MUSTER.

SITH CRUSADER ARMADAS Masters of the fleets of the Sith Warlords - the Sith Crusader Armadas are floating armies filled with Planetary Assault Ships, Sith Battle Chapters, Sith Knights, Holy Orders and Battle Corps. They roam the Outer Rim as semi-independent miniature armies with their own objectives, battle doctrines, and accompaniment units. This is done so they can achieve maximum military progress on missions without the troublesome intervention of Sith Lords. They are led by Lord Admirals who each command their own Crusader Armada. From the Armada, naval groups are broken into Crusader Groups and then Squadrons. Sometimes an entire Armada isn't needed and several Squadrons are strung together to form a temporary Task Force or Strike Group to complete a particular task. In general, it is a very flexible and quick-reacting system.

SPECIAL ORGANIZATIONS​

SITH ECCLESIARCHY Supreme Prophet of the Dark Side: The Supreme Prophet is the arch-priest of all the Warlords covenant and head of the Sith Ecclesiarchy - the Religious Masters of the Sith Code. This organization within the Warlords' is a successor to the Qotsisajakaar (the Keepers of the Sith Code) - a religious splinter order created by Darth Voyance. As the Ecclesiarchy it's goal is to monitor the Warlords and make sure the faith of the Sith Code is adhered to. As such the Ecclesiarchy is often the most hated and feared facet of the faction. Under their command is a cadre of Priests, Sorcerers, and Dark Disciples who administer the magicks of the Sith and purge elements they deem anathema to the Sith Code and Religion. In the times when a Sitharian Crusade is called by the Warlords - special dark side empowered Sith battle units are formed - these are the Sith Holy Orders. Sith Holy Orders are led by a Sith Lord/Knight appointed as Crusade Master of the Holy Order and is assisted by Sith Battle Priests, Commissars, their own Sith Battle Chapter drawn from other Chapters and a cadre of Sith Knights. These Sith Holy Orders act as super powered vanguard forces, fanatically leading the crusading armies in their battles of conquest and destruction - they are the most dangerous units Warlords can field.

SITH HOUNDS of the SHADOW HAND Led by the Mistress of the Sith Hounds, the Shadow Hand of the Dark Sovereigns, the Sith Hounds is a cadre of assassins, sith informants, infiltrators, and hired mercenaries. They operate under a series of Directorate - each with a specified mission; i.e. Jedi Hunts, Infiltration, Networking of Mercenary and Bounty Hunter contacts, as well as information brokerage. Shadowy and feared - the Sith Hounds also hunt their own as they police the Sith Warlords and their Knights, searching for a single sign of weakness to exploit or eliminate. As such they are hated by their sith peers and feared just the same. To become a Sith Hound is to fully fall deeper into the Dark Side and transform yourself into a weapon.
