Rank (Dark Brotherhood)

Ranks are used to reward members who have consistently performed over a period of time. They designate seniority and the powers a member may use.

Current Ranks

Transcendant Ranks

Transcendent Ranks are the most powerful members of the Brotherhood, those who delve the deepest into Dark Side lore and philosophy and wield power on a massive scale. Those who have great influence and power in the Brotherhood.

• Darth (D)
• Lord (L)
• Master (M)
• Adept (ADT)

Sith Ranks

The Sith Ranks are the main body of the Brotherhood membership. These are the front line warriors, those who lead or carry out raids, investigate enigmas, and meet attacks on the Brotherhood with dark ferocity. These ranks are also those who often take on a mentor role for members that haven’t advanced sufficiently to reach the first true recognition as a Sith.

• Inquisitor (INQ) (Two lightsabers or a lightstaff can be constructed and wielded)
• Assassin (ASN)
• Sorcerer (SOR) (A custom lightsaber can be constructed)
• Warrior (WAR)
• Knight (KNT) (A member's first true lightsaber can be constructed)

Training Ranks

The Training ranks are made up of the members that have sufficiently proved their devotion to the Dark Side to warrant more instruction, but have yet to master their connection to the Dark Side to be considered true Sith.

• Stalker (ST)
• Juggernaut (JUG)
• Marauder (MRD)

Aspirant Ranks

The Aspirant Ranks are made up of those that feel the call of the Dark Side and have recognized their connection to it, but have not yet proven their devotion to the Dark Side and Brotherhood enough to be admitted to more intensive instruction.

• Acolyte (ACO)
• Novice (NOV)
• Apprentice (APP)
• Initiate (INT)

Rank Elevations

It is a great honor when any Sith receives a rank elevation. When a Sith advances, it is because a mentor has determined that the member has surpassed the abilities of his current rank. Only certain Jedi can give rank elevations to others. However, anyone may recommend someone for advancement. The Grand Master and the Master-at-Arms have final jurisdiction over all advancements. If they do not find the candidate to be worthy, then no elevation is given. All advancements must be approved by the Master-at-Arms prior to the announcement of the new rank, with the sole exception of the Master at Arms, who is able to directly confer an elevation to Novice upon completion of Apprentice Studies.
