Fist of the Empire (group)

The Fist of the Empire or Sith Army was the Sith organization that Dooku and Palpatine planned to establish following the creation of their New Order at the end of the Clone Wars.

Dooku planned that it would be formed from the remains of the Jedi Order, with those who were unwilling to change killed and those able to indoctrinated in the Sith way. Instead of the Jedi's famed diplomacy, the Fist would instead merely enforce its will. Only Humans (and apparently near-Humans) would compose the Fist; all Force-sensitive Humans across the Galaxy would be taken into the Fist as children, regardless of their own or their parents' wishes, and be trained in the Sith way. Dooku's thoughts seemed to indicate that such Force-sensitive sub-species as Korunnai, Kiffars, and Dathomiri would be completely enrolled in the Fist's membership.

It is unclear how much of this Palpatine agreed with and how much of it was simply a play to Dooku's own ideals and opinions. While Palpatine did establish his dark Side Adepts, very few of them were former Jedi, even fewer were educated in Sith teachings, there were non-Humans in their ranks, and there is no evidence the Force-sensitive subspecies were not enslaved to it.
