Operation: Cinder

[The Contingency]

Dark Side Elite
"If you're smart, you'll join the Emperor as I have…and he'll make you as powerful as he has made me!"
- Sedriss QL​

The Dark Side Elite, also known as the Emperor's Dark Jedi, is a brotherhood of Dark Jedi and fallen Imperial Knights selected personally by Darth Solipsis , Dark Lord of the Sith and ruler of the Dark Empire, following his resurrection by Ashin Cardé Varanin decades after his death on Tython at the hands of Ryv .

Formed to act as the Emperor's most trusted enforcers, the Dark Side Elite carries out missions of critical importance to the Empire. Their duties include eliminating Jedi targets, recovering Sith relics, enforcing the Emperor's will, and overseeing special operations across Imperial space. Unlike the New Sith Order, the Dark Side Elite are not bound by Banite ideals or any strict Sith dogma. Their loyalty is pledged to three pillars:

1. The Dark Side of the Force
2. The Galactic Empire
3. The Emperor, Darth Solipsis

Initiation

Each member of the Dark Side Elite is personally selected and empowered by Darth Solipsis in a dark side ritual, binding them to the Emperor through the Force. Replacements are appointed swiftly upon the loss or death of a member to ensure the ranks are never depleted.

Doctrine

While they draw on Dark Jedi or Sith teachings, the Dark Side Elite function outside of any New Sith hierarchy. They are champions of Imperial dominance, dark side supremacy, and personal might, embodying the Emperor's will in flesh and spirit. Their very presence strikes terror into Imperial enemies and inspires fanatical loyalty in its subjects.
