Sith Warrior

Sith Warrior was a rank of the Sith order before Darth Bane's reform of the Sith. They were mid-ranking Sith who generally focused their energies and skills towards battle, spending little time on actual dark side philosophy or other concerns of the "purer" Sith.

History
One of the early Sith Lords styled himself as a Sith Warrior. A cadre of the Sith Empire's strongest Warriors attacked the Jedi Temple during the Sacking of Coruscant.

Behind the scenes
In the game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, the Jedi Exile sends a strike team of three to the tomb of Freedon Nadd at one point through the story. These three characters travel into the tomb, fighting Sith troopers and Dark Jedi alike. When they first enter the tomb, the player is shown a cutscene of two Sith fighting hand-to-hand, presumably Sith Warriors. Later, at the entrance to the tomb chamber, two Sith, wearing the same garb as the prestige-class Sith Lords, and carrying the name "Sith Warrior", attack the three characters with nothing but their fists.

Some fans speculate, just like the Sith Lord being the dark side version of the Jedi Master, the Sith Warrior could be the dark side version of the Jedi Guardian although there is no hard evidence supporting this theory at the present time.

The Sith Warrior will be a playable class in Star Wars: The Old Republic.
