Summary
ManyStar Warsfans may think of theSithsimply as the antithesis of the Jedi , in that they ’re virtually the same , except they use the dark side of the Force rather than the igniter . In fact , this misinterpretation may stanch from the number of more recent Sith who were just fallen Jedi , like Darth Vader , Count Dooku , and even Asajj Ventress . However , that could n’t be further from the truth , as the Sith have their own culture , practices , and room of life that does n’t demand the Jedi at all , in any capability . And the more fans dig into the Sith ’s unique culture , the more intricate and exciting it becomes - especially when it come to Sith weapons .
The Sith do n’t just maintain reddened lightsabers and praxis in the moody side of the Force , they also have a turn of increasingly horrific artillery at their garbage disposal . From Force - sweetening artifacts to plague mean to decimate entire planet , here are the Top 10 most terrific Sith weapons that essay they ’re more interesting ( and deadly ) than the Jedi .
10Zaley Shield
presently being used by Darth Vader and insert to him inStar Wars : Darth Vader#35 by Greg Pak and Raffaele Ienco , theZaley Shield is made of pure kyberitethat can be used by anyone as any shield could , for blocking and demurrer . However , in the paw of a powerful Sith , the Zaley Shield is so much more . What it really is , is a power - enhancement weapon system , as it channels the Force and concentrates / supercharges it , allowing the wielder to put out an immensely powerful blast of Force Energy Department , with a directional accuracy that makes it all the more venomous . In essence , it ’s a Force - shank that could turn even the simplest effect - push into a potentially life - ending attack , making it a Brobdingnagian asset to any Sith who wields it .
9Hand of Siberus
Another artifact of dark side index , the Hand of Siberus ( as seen inStar Wars : The High Republic#9 by Cavan Scott and Ario Anindito ) is a gantlet with razor - acute fingers . Alone , it is a deadly weapon in the hands of the correct warrior , but the Sith turned it into something much more sinister . Upon wear the Hand of Siberus , one becomes flood with the dark side DOE the artefact was pervade with . Even a Jedi is easy susceptible to its force , and the vast upgrade it gives one in the Force only nominate the Hand of Siberus even more attractive . Immediate degeneracy no matter who wears it , with the added benefit of an unparalleled power - boost make this weapon especially awful .
8Fermata Cage
There are n’t many things in the wandflower that frighten both Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine , but the Fermata Cage is one of them . In the crosswalk eventStar state of war : Hidden Empireby Charles Soule and Steven Cummings , Lady Qi’ra of the Crimson Dawn prove to trap Vader and Palpatine within the Fermata Cage and end the war once and for all . The Fermata Cage is a prison used by the Sith , though it is no ordinary hold cadre . This prison suspends its prisoners in time and space , making their restriction feel hellishly eternal .
7Sithspawn
An ancient pattern that was done during the geezerhood of the Old Republic , and one with repercussions that were felt all the way past the crepuscule of the Empire , the bit of creating Sithspawn was see as an terrible use of the Force , as it inherently meant the manipulation and perversion of sprightliness rather than the acceptance of it . Sithspawn were creatures who were create / altered using Sith alchemy , and required a enceinte slew of dark side energy to pull off . One of the best examples of a Sithspawn was shown in the four - part Legends mirthful series Star Wars : Jedi Academy - Leviathan , with the Sithspawn - in - question being none other than the titular Leviathan that the novel generation of Jedi trained by Luke Skywalker are risk their lives to defeat . These wight are filled with the hatred and malice their Sith masters cursed them with , make them immensely knock-down and dangerous .
6Red Horror
speak of creatures used by the Sith , the Red Horror might be the worst one of them all . The Red Horror is a one - eyed , many - toothed squid - like animate being who do as a ‘ guard dog ’ for Emperor Palpatine ’s secret base on Exegol , as it lived in the Red Nebula first seen inStar Wars : Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker . This creature was described as being the deadliest predator in the galaxy , as it could physically crush anything that challenged it as well as mentally torment its prey due to its telepathic attribute , making any on purpose - craft Sithspawn calculate pathetic by comparison . And its occasion was to guard and protect perhaps the most malevolent billet in the cosmos , as Exegol is home to some of the greatest atrocities ever conceived , make the Red Horror a large plus to the Sith , as it even gave the Sith Lord Darth Vader some bother on one occasion ( as shown inStar Wars : Darth Vader#10 by Greg Pak and Raffaele Ienco ) .
5Final Protocol
While beasts are undecomposed weapons , major planet - sea wolf are great ones , and there are few that can compare tothe mercilessness of the Sith ’s ‘ Final Protocol ’ . preface in the Legends comicStar Wars Legacy#47 by John Ostrander and Jan Duursema , the Final Protocol is an approach gestate by Darth Krayt to wipe out all life-time on a planet in a matter of hours . It utilizes viral spores that plague the whole world with an incurable virus , in effect pass over out the entire world-wide population through biologic war . Star Wars Legacy showed this happening to the Mon Calamari people , but anyone could come down victim to this dreaded weapon .
4Omega Red
Similar to the Final Protocol , the Omega Red was a toxin that was designed by the Sith specifically to take out the inherently strong Yuuzhan Vong , but was deadly to everyone else in the galaxy as well . Well , almost everyone . As Cade Skywalker learned during the Legends comicStar war Legacy : War(by John Ostrander and Jan Duursema ) , the Sith were immune to the Omega Red toxin . Cade thought of using it against Darth Krayt , but found that it would n’t run against him . This entail that not only can a Sith use this weapon without veneration of it being reverse against them , but it also has the capacity to pass over out an entire major planet ’s population in a much faster timeframe than the ‘ Final Protocol ’ , as it was described as being able-bodied to kill every biography form on a major planet in a topic of breaths .
3Darth Nihilus’ Voice
When it come to planet - killers , virus and toxins are a safe bet that the job can get done expeditiously , but nothing can match the efficiency ( or the revulsion ) of a Sith doing the job themselves . While forward-looking Sith had to swear on things like the Death Star or Palpatine ’s Star Destroyer fleet on Exegol to destroy a planet , Darth Nihilus could do so with his voice . As show in the fib “ unobserved , Unheard ” fromStar Wars Tales#24 by Chris Avellone , Dustin Weaver , and Michel Heisler , Darth Nihilus is drawn to a planet called Katarr as the Force - sensitive beingness there call to his hunger . Once there , Darth Nihilus but utter , and everything on Katarr dies , including the very planet itself , allowing Nihilus to feed on their very death . This is a dark side Force powerfulness that is beyond anything fans would unremarkably witness , defecate it all the more terrific .
2Thought Bomb
While a Sith destroying a planet is scary , a turkey that destroys Sith and other force out - sensitive being specifically is almost unheard of . However , the existence of the Thought Bomb proves otherwise , and its front in Star Wars lore reshaped the integrality of Sith culture forever . InStar war : Jedi vs Sithby Darko Macan and Ramón F. Bachs , armies of Sith warrior are struggle against legions of Jedi Knights , and in the Battle of Ruusan , the Sith make do a devastating blow . They use the Thought Bomb against the Jedi - which is something that was train by Darth Revan roughly 3000 days prior . The Thought Bomb is the result of a ritual done by a grouping of Sith that wipe out any violence - raw someone in the vicinity of detonation , and steep their split souls into a swirling hellscape of eternal torment . It ’s a roughshod weapon system , to be sure , and one that was finally used by Darth Bane against his fellow Sith so as to quickly pass over them out and establish the Sith Rule of Two . The Thought Bomb may not be able to destroy a whole planet , but the little terror it brings to the coltsfoot and its significance to the wider Star Wars lore far outweighs any and all shortcomings .
1Force Storm
As if Darth Nihilus ’ voice and the Thought Bomb gestate an offspring of cosmic proportion , the Force Storm is also a Sith power utilized by a exclusive Dark Lord : Sheev Palpatine . In the Legends comicStar Wars : Dark Empire#1 by Tom Veitch and Cam Kennedy , the clon of Emperor Palpatine is able to rein enough power in the dark side of the Force to summon a Force Storm , dead devastating and horrify his enemies in the outgrowth . A Force Storm is a Force - make cosmic phenomenonthat can do everything from create massive amounts of force-out - lightning ( which is why it ’s presumed Palpatine in reality used this power inRise of Skywalker ) to forming hyperspace wormholes that can go through an entire world in the blink of an eye . This power takes huge strength in the dark side to achieve , and the payoff is the swell horror one could perchance opine .
These weapons keep back the mogul to either corrupted one ’s feeling , enhance their strength , or simply yield one the ability to annihilate entire worldly concern ( not to advert the Sith ’s horrific animal - like foundation ) . The Jedi may be purveyor of DoJ and peacefulness throughout theStar Warsgalaxy , but the weapons / tactics / exercise they used to circulate their ideal are nowhere near as interesting ( or as terrifying ) as those utilized by theSith , and these Top 10 weapons testify it .
