The Sith Code - How To Become a Sith Lord

With the new Star Wars Online game Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR) gearing up for release. It's time to brush up on your Star Wars lore. If you are planning on travelling down the path of the Dark Side you would be well served to know the Sith Code and its meaning. It will serve you well.

The Code of the Sith is little know when compared to the Jedi's own code. It appears to have risen sometime after the Jedi mantra, with many believing it was devised in direct opposition.

The Sith Code

Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me.

As the great Sith Oordis once said "The tenets of the Sith are more than just words to be memorized. Learn them, understand them. They will lead you to the true power of the Force; the power of the dark side."

Looking at the structure and lines of the Sith code you can see where the theory "it was created in opposition to the Jedi's version" has credence. "Peace is a lie, there is only passion" directly challenges the Jedi lines "There is no emotion, there is peace" and "There is no passion, there is serenity". The Sith were clearly intent on making a powerful statement, while directly mocking the ideals of the Jedi Order.

What Does The Sith Code Mean?

The Code of the Sith teaches its follows that the root of all power is emotion and passion, they are your strength and should be embraced openly.A Sith should rely on no-one but him/herself, only deserving what he or she is powerful enough to take.Nature's law is the "survival of the fittest", a Sith understands this better than no other; conflict is the only real test of an individuals ability and the only way to grow.The Sith Code teaches its disciples to never stop striving for perfection, to break their chains and fulfill their potential to reach ultimate power.A Sith understands the Force is there to serve, it is the true source of power. Draw on the power of the Dark Side, bend it to your whim and let it consume oneself.

To summarise the Sith Code

A Sith's goal is ultimate power, ultimate strength and complete dominion. They should always seek conflict and never miss an opportunity for personal advancement. The path to supremacy means to embrace emotion and let the Dark Side flourish.

Follow the Code of the Sith and victory shall be absolute.
