Emperor's Hand (Sith Empire)

The Emperor's Hand was a secret organization that was present in the hierarchy of the Sith Empire. These individuals all served the will of Sith Emperor Vitiate and worked to ensure their master's goals. Only few members of the Dark Council were even aware of the existence of the Hand and knew that they were another layer of power between themselves and the Emperor. These agents consisted of both men and women that carried out their master's most secret of orders.

Out of all the agents of the Emperor, only the Hand were in constant contact with the supreme master of the Sith and knew of his true goals as well as purpose. This was achieved through the Emperor's command of the Dark side of the Force that allowed his thoughts to be shared with them and their will becoming an extension of his own command. The Hand did not involve themsleves with the running of the Empire but instead worked to achieve their master's grandest of designs where they struck a decisive blow against their maste'rs enemies.

During the Cold war, the Hand became aware of Darth Baras's act of silencing the Voice of the Emperor and his motivation in becoming the ruling force of the Sith Empire. To that end, they sought out an agent that would act on behalf of the Emperor. Thus, Servant One and Servant Two discovered such an agent in Darth Baras's former Sith apprentice. This Sith was awarded the position of Emperor's Wrath and worked with the Hand to weaken Baras's powerbase in order to ultimately eliminate the threat posed by him.
