The Sith Knights, alternatively referred to as the Knights of Sith, constituted a competing order to the Jedi-Bendu. In the wake of the Great Jedi Rebellion, the Sith Knights supplanted the Jedi, assuming the roles of protectors for the Empire and leaders within the Imperial Space Force. Driven by an insatiable desire for authority, these Knights relentlessly pursued any remaining Jedi-Bendu, ensuring their continued dominance as the primary enforcers throughout the galaxy.
