Dark Side Adept

Dark Side Adept was a generic term to describe any Force-sensitive individual in the Galactic Empire other than Palpatine and Darth Vader, the two Sith.

None of the Dark Side Adepts were Sith; Palpatine held on to the Sith code of only two. Instead, the Dark Side Adepts were Force-talented users who received training by the Sith (but were not privy to Sith Order teachings) or other Dark Side Adepts, or were Dark Jedi, having already received training from the Jedi Order or other institutions.

The Dark Side Adept's position in the Empire was separate from the Imperial chain of command; they existed outside of it, serving only the Emperor. Various groups collectively made up the Dark Side Adepts. The highest ranking group was the Inquisitorius. They were followed by the Secret Order of the Empire, the Emperor's Hands, the Dark Side Elite, the Emperor's Reach, Emperor's Voice, the Emperor's Eyes, several members of the Imperial Royal Guard, and various Imperial Dark Jedi.
