There are three commonly accepted branches of Specialization within the ranks of the Sith. All Sith Adepts are called to serve in one, as befits their interests and abilities. The selection of each path is deeply personal, and very significant to a Sith.
Sith Marauder
Adepts preferring to take a physically active stance against the light side of the Force and all other threats to the Sith were known to pursue the branch of Specialization known as Marauder. Such individuals would advocate for the supremacy of athletics and martial training in many forms of combat. They specialized in the wielding of a Lightsaber, pursuing the study of combat with it. Marauders try to master as many Lightsaber forms as possible. The Force abilities they relied upon were more in the support category; skills that would aid them in their athletics, acrobatics, and in combat. They were also skilled in hand-to-hand combat, knowing how to defend themselves even without a weapon.
Sith Inquisitor[/color]
Sith Inquisitors are the opposite of a Marauder; focusing on strengthening the mind and ones connection to the Force rather than strength and skill. Such a Specialization often leads to a devotion to speech, research, energy manipulation, and other more aggressive areas of the Force. Sith Inquisitors rarely take up their Lightsaber for little more than self defense, and most are more reliant upon their own Powers than anything else. Inquisitors are very likely to be respected advisers to the Sith Lords, often make good leaders or senators.
Sith Assassin[/color]
A Sith Assassin represents a balance between Marauder and Inquisitor; a balance between mind and body. More than the others, this strain of Specialization focused on upholding the traditions of the Sith, overseeing the most personal matters of the Sith Lords, and tracking down and killing Jedi. Most agree that an Assassin has the most difficult road, for they take upon themselves all the responsibilities, as well as many of the practices as possible, of its two counterparts.
