Sith
Little is known of the mysterious order referred to as the Sith, a group shrouded in many layers of secrecy and deception. What is known is that like the Jedi order, they believe in a mystical bioenergy field called the "Force", which is apparently dualistic in nature. The Sith claim to draw their power from the "dark side" of said Force, which is fed by strong negative emotion, allowing them to use a form of "magic". Also like the Jedi, they wield lightsabers in battle.
For some time, the Sith were believed to be a mere memory of past generations, a situation which they blamed on the Jedi.<ref>Star Wars Transformers Darth Maul Sith Infiltrator packaging bio</ref> They eventually recovered and got their revenge when Sith Master Palpatine became the leader of the Empire, which systematically hunted down the Jedi and their supporters.<ref>Crossovers Clone Pilot to V-wing Starfighter packaging bio</ref>
The Sith do not seem to have very many mechs at their disposal compared to other known factions. Whether this is due to a reliance on their Force or a desire not to have traceable links to known manufacturers of battle machines is unknown. However, their use of the Force gives them a considerable combat advantage, making use of mechs potentially unnecessary.
Known Sith include:
Confederacy leader Count Dooku/Tyranus is known to be both evil and a practitioner of lightsaber combat, so it's possible that he is a Sith as well.
