Sith Lord/Legends

"A Sith Lord is&hellip;?" "A being who stands against the Jedi and their control over the Republic."

- Mitth'raw'nuruodo and Kinman Doriana

Sith Lord was a title that was conferred on a powerful master of Sith knowledge. Yet, the title seemed to be used somewhat ambiguously to refer to various things, including all Sith, the Dark Lords of the Sith, Sith Masters in Darth Bane's reformed order, or as a rank akin to that of the Jedi Master for the Jedi Order. Several Sith Lords also held the Darth title. The term "Sith Lord" generally encompassed members of both sexes, although some female Sith, such as Lumiya, were styled Sith Lady.

Originally, "Sith Lord" referred to a high-ranking member of the Sith race's society. As the Sith civilization progressed, many claimed the title; Adas and Dathka Graush were such Lords. Sith Lord was the dark-side equivalent of Jedi Master.

Behind the scenes

 * In Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, the Sith Lord is one of the six prestige character classes which the main character can select after reaching Level 15. Like its light side counterpart, the Jedi Master, this class corresponds to the Jedi Consular non-prestige class.

Combat skills
The Sith Lords often didn't emphasize on direct lightsaber combat like the prestige class of the Sith Marauder, and often didn't favor the stealthy tactics of the Sith Assassin, instead winning battles by powerful manipulation of the dark side of the Force with masterful techniques such as Force Storm and Death Field.
