Sith cult

A Sith Cult was a cult that would appraise, and often practice, the teachings of the Sith philosophy. Some sith cults would also worship one or more specific ancient Sith Lords and practise his or her teachings, sometimes even with the goal of resurrecting the ancient Sith Lord. Some cults would also involve a degree of fetishism as they were in possession of items that once belonged to the Sith Lord in question and treated them as relics and sometimes even instruments to gain power.

As with many other types of cults around the galxy, Sith cults were often led by one (sometimes more than one) charismatic individual that was strong in the Dark Side of the Force to inspire faith - often accompanied with fear - in his or her followers.

Sith cults were often secretive, and not many was known. One of the few well-known Sith cults was Tavion's Disciples of Ragnos who wreaked havoc around the galaxy untill they were destroyed by Kyle Katarns apprentice Jaden Korr and other Jedi from Luke Skywalker's Jedi Praxeum. The sinister Prophets of the Dark Side and the splinter Church of the Dark Side showed many Sith cult characteristics.
