Sith is a term that is used by the creator of Star Wars for an organization that associates itself with the dark nature of the life Force that is present in all of us and also binds the Universe together. Those who have been following the movie series and read the books and comics know that the term Sith was first mentioned to refer alien species that lived in planets Ziost and Korriban. These aliens were captured, defeated, and enslaved by Dark Jedi that had been expelled from Galactic Republic. Now as we all know, Jedi is an order that believes in the light side of the Force, but when a splinter group refused to adhere to only the lighter side of the Force, they were expelled by Jedi that started the hundred year darkness. Exiled, dark Jedi somehow found alien species, and after hundreds of years of inbreeding between exiled Jedi and these aliens, a new order emerged that was called Sith. Sith are characterized by their hatred for Jedi and their lust for power.
