Think back to when you first watched Star Wars™: A New Hope™ — to the moment when Darth Vader enters the besieged Republic ship, surveying the carnage, single-mindedly hunting his target, Princess Leia. If you were like me, your eyes bulged and you thought, “I wanna be that guy.”
Now, maybe I was alone in that visceral response. Maybe it reveals something disturbing about me, I don’t know. On subsequent screenings, I seem to recall hearing a chorus of hisses and boos when Vader emerges. So maybe most of the Star Wars™ fan community are Luke lovers, or Solo sycophants . But something tells me there are more of me out there. And all these years, like me, you’ve been waiting for the opportunity to express your inner Vader.
Well, I’m here to tell you, our time has come.
Get ready, my friends, Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ is going to be our coming out party. It’s time to ignite your red lightsaber and grind the galaxy under your steel platform boot.
The Sith Warrior is about domination and control, as he seeks to utterly annihilate his enemies. He or she wields a lightsaber with more devastating effect as the warrior brings ferocity and rage to bear on every strike. The warrior is feared, is a melee master, and can choke you to death without even touching you.
You begin the Sith Warrior story as the apprentice of one of the most powerful Sith Lords in the Empire. Yes, you serve him, as Vader served the Emperor, but he knows that you are at your best and most powerful the more you can flex your muscles. As long as your master’s ultimate directives are met, you are encouraged to entertain your every impulse and do as you please.
Unbound and unleashed on the galaxy, you wage war against the Jedi, relentlessly hunting and neutralizing their most powerful and important players. You can leave an indelible darkness on every planet you visit or find less wanton routes to your goals, as you eliminate rivals, acquire your own minions and build your personal power base.
The enemies of the Sith quickly realize that you are the real threat that cannot be ignored. Other Sith you encounter and confront come to revere and revile you, as much as—if not more than—your master. And eventually, the Emperor himself may take notice of your exploits.
Where is this all leading? That’s up to you. You can serve dutifully and pound away by the letter of your master’s law, or you can risk plotting to someday destroy him and grab his power (as Vader reveals in his plea for Luke to join him). You can even have secret designs to redeem yourself, embrace the light and destabilize the Empire from within.
If this excites you, if you’re like me and already have Darth Vader’s theme music playing in the background of your mind 24-7, then crank up the volume to 11 and point those internal speakers out the window. Don’t get caught up in the debate over who shot first. Don’t be tied down by the Jedi Code. Embrace the darkness within you! Revel in your emotions, grab for glory and bend the galaxy to your will.

Jen Massassi Open to all classes and races! http://www.swtor.com/guilds/22536/jen-massassi RP/PVP Guild Join today while were new so you can be apart of the best guild experience ever! The Jen Massassi are a caste of Sith, bounded together by their lust of battle and their hatred of the Jedi. Their Leader Naoki Xavier, a Sith Pureblood warrior formed this dark alliance, along with his cousin Lunar a Sith Inquisitor. Naoki felt that the Sith Empire was waning from their goals to destroy the Jedi. Thus, Naoki founded the Jen Massassi, a guild of Warriors and Inqusitors named after the ancient Massassi warriors. "They were not only fearsome, but were both loyal and formidable warriors that were dedicated to their Sith masters. In addition to the focus on war and fighting, the Massassi were also loyal and organized. They were bred to blindly follow orders and to live for the glory of battle." - excerpt of the Massassi from the Sith Empire Holocron. About the guild; The Jen Massassi is a heavy roleplaying guild. With a heavy interest in PvP, we enjoy PvP as nothing is as interesting as engaging in combat with your enemies and laughing at their demise. But we dislike how PvPers "tlk lyke dis" and Just massacre the earth-shattering, shaking moment of battle. We always stay in character, and plan to make Star Wars: The Old Republic even more immersive by adding to the lore and making every moment feel like part of the Star Wars universe and not just any run-of-the-mill MMO. |
