Overview


The combat specialists of the new Sith Empire, Sith Warriors channel their anger and hatred to purge their body and mind of weakness, and focus on becoming beings pure and lethal efficiency. Determined to eradicate the Jedi Order and rule the galaxy through fear and intimidation, Warriors have little patience for the calculated and careful planning favored by many of their compatriots, preferring instead to simply crush their foes. They demand absolute loyalty from their followers, and in turn demonstrate such traits towards their own Sith masters, often surprising enemies and allies alike with their self-discipline and strong sense of honor.

Some Sith Warriors have been known to go renegade and pursue their own agenda, though all such Darksiders can be trusted to never be far from the action. Their fierce hatred of the Jedi ensures that they will be at the forefront of any conflict with the Galactic Republic, though this uncompromising bloodlust does not render them tactless and single-minded. Due to their passionate dedication to their goals, Sith Warriors are natural leaders, inspiring both fear and undying loyalty amongst their allies. While they have little patience for failure, Warriors understand the need for strength in numbers against their foes.

Armor and Armaments


While Sith Warriors rely heavily on the strength of the Force for their power, they have no compunction about heavy armor or cybernetic augmentations. In fact, Warriors often favor such dangerous and experimental technologies, with the goal of imbuing themselves with great physical strength and fortitude.

As far as their armament goes, Sith Warriors typical wield standard lightsabers, albiet of Sith-design. However, as their entire equipage is geared towards forcing opponents onto the defensive, Warriors have been known to favor more esoteric lightsaber types and disciplines, such as saberstaffs or dual-blades.

All in all, a Sith Warriors equipment and weaponry is designed to accentuate his combat prowess.

Combat Tactics


In terms of their own combat training, Sith Warriors utilize bold lightsaber combat tactics and sudden bursts of Force powers, designed to force opponents onto the defensive before killing them. Considered unrivaled lightsaber duelists, Warriors utilize combat forms geared towards brute force, hammering their foes into submission with strong, crushing blows. Though their lightsaber is their prime method of attack, Sith Warriors do not neglect their skills in other areas of the Force, using it to paralyze, terrify, and kill. Protected by their heavy armor, Sith Warriors charge into the fray and release their anger and hatred against all who stand against them.

Sith Juggernaut


These Sith specialized in combat endurance and were known for wearing armor that provided them special protection in battle. Sith Juggernauts were known to primarily wield one lightsaber in combat, and were frequently adept at using the Force to cause terror and despair in enemy combatants.

Sith Marauder
Whereas Juggernauts focus on stamina and brute force, Marauders focus on speed and efficiency. Relying on the Force to intuit how to maximize every attack, Marauders cut down their enemies in the blink of an eye. Gearing themselves towards seeing every weakness in their foes and exploiting it to the maximum, Marauders never hesitate nor falter, and are considered the swiftest bringers of pain and damage in the galaxy.

They specialize in dual-lightsaber combat, a fighting form they utilize with unmatched aggression.

Original Version
Sith Warrior was the name given to the Sith who generally focused their energies and skills towards battle, spending little time on actual dark side philosophy; in many respects they were the Sith equivalent of the Jedi Guardian. During the reign of Lord Kaan and the Brotherhood of Darkness, Sith warriors were trained in the Sith academies on Gamorr, Gentes, and Honoghr.

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.

Overview
The Sith Warrior was entrusted with the most important tasks assigned by the Sith Empire: destroying the Empire’s enemies and enforcing the Empire's rule all across the galaxy. The Sith Warrior used his or her strong emotions of fear, anger, and hatred to flush out weakness from within the body and mind and become a being of pure, brutal efficiency.

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 in 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, there are two Sith, wearing the same garb as the prestige-class Sith Lords, and carrying the name "Sith Warrior." They attack the three characters with nothing but their fists.

The Sith Warrior will be a playable class in Star Wars: The Old Republic, and will include the Sith Juggernaut and Sith Marauder advanced classes.
