Sith

In the fictional Star Wars universe, the Sith are users of the dark side of the force and the opposite of the Jedi.

The Sith live to dominate all others and to control society throughout the Star Wars galaxy to get more power. Some famous Sith are Darth Vader, Darth Sidious, and Darth Maul.

They lead the Galactic Empire, the antagonist of the Star Wars series that is known for is brutality in the dictatorship and for having a strong control over peoples lives. The Sith lost power for hundreds of years before they slowly took over the Galactic Republic, or the Jedi government, and turned it into the Galactic Empire.

In the expanded universe, the Sith at the start were a different species and looked like humans but with red skin and small bones coming out from their heads.

Almost all of the Sith died after the Jedi committed genocide on them thousands of years before the movies. That makes some people think that the Sith Empire is the protagonist by bringing law and order to the Galaxy and only responds to the Jedi's actions.
