IC Heirarchy:
The Circle of Darkness:
The Circle of the Darkness is the inner circle of the Empire and is home to the Imperial Triumvirate. The Triumvirate is the ultimate power in the New Order and answer to no one aside from each other. In order to safeguard the Empire it is never disclosed to the rest of the Empire which of the Triumvirate members is actually the Emperor, instead it is universally understood that any of the Triumvirate members speak with the authority of the Emperor and are not to be disobeyed.
The Circle of Darkness is responsible for cooperatively deciding the appointments of Shadow Lords, movements of military and other high level government affairs. Collectively the Circle of Darkness can reject a master's subjugation and can overrule any decision made by the Conclave of Shadows or any other lead figures in the Empire.
The Dark Emperor of the Order
The Emperor is the ultimate power in the Order and the head of the Triumvirate. Unlike the other two members of the Triumvirate, the Emperor has command over both the Combined Armies and the Combined Fleets as well as being able to commission projects and issue laws.
Despite having this seemingly unlimited power, the Emperor is limited by a number of things. The Emperor does not have as extensive contact with either branch of the military as the other two Triumvirate members and thus the loyalties of the branches will tend to lean away from him. In order to balance this power, the Emperor has sole command over the Imperial Honor Guard and Stormtrooper Corp. The Honor Guard and Stormtrooper Corp is loyal to only the Emperor and are tasked with undertaking any mission given to them by him.
The Dark Chancellor of the Order
The Chancellor is the Grand Commander of the Imperial Navy and is the member of the Triumvirate tasked with undertaking diplomatic missions and dealing with the everyday politics of the Empire. Whenever the Triumvirate collectively issue a law or when the Emperor uses his executive powers to do such, the Chancellor is the one to announce them to the Empire.
For all intents and purposes, the Chancellor is effectively the most seen of the Dark Circle Members of the Empire as he/she deals with foreign affairs and the Empire's citizenry. In the event that talks with a foreign power go off of any scripted responses put together by the Triumvirate, the Chancellor has the authority to make treaties and deals with foreign powers. However, he/she must be careful as his/her decisions affect the entire Empire and could risk his/her death.
The Dark Minister of the Order
The Minister is the Grand Commander of the Imperial Army and is the member of the Triumvirate tasked with overseeing Intelligence Operations and dealing with economic strategy and technological breakthroughs.Whenever the Triumvirate issues a assassination order or commissions a spy op, The Minister is the one who gives the news to the Ministry of Imperial Intelligence.
Naturally, due to the nature of his/her work, the Minister is the least seen of the Triumvirate (outside of the Imperial Military). Being the most secretive, this Triumvirate member is also the most dangerous and is commonly looked on with great care and suspicion by the other two Triumvirate members.
The Conclave of Shadows
The Conclave is a council of Sith Lords and honored Non-Force Users who have been proclaimed Shadow Lords of the Order. Each rules over a Sphere of Influence (also known as a Sector) of the Empire. As the Empire expands, more spheres may be added as needed. The Lords deal with the day to day operations of the Empire's sectors and planets and carry out the will of the Triumvirate in their respective sectors. Each Shadow is given authority to take independent action to defend their sector through defenses strategies or offensive preemptive strikes against a faction when a clear and present danger is identified.
Moff Rank Structure
Grand Moffs
Grand Moffs are individuals promoted from the ranks of the Moffs and are either placed in charge of a Department of the Order or are instated as personal advisers or assistants to the Conclave of Shadows. They ensure that the New Order runs smoothly from top to bottom and are still allowed to preside over the planet they are governor of. If a Grand Moff is noticed by the Order, they may be put decorated as a Shadow Lord of the New Order and placed on the Conclave.
Moff
Moffs oversee the Order's bureaucracy on controlled planets. Moffs can control planets and if a Moff is noticed by the Order, they may be appointed to become a Grand Moff.
Prefect
Prefects are the administrative assistants to Moffs and Sith Lords. The authority of the Prefect extends only as far as their system. They are, for all intents and purposes, the appointed second-in-command to Sith Masters. While this means that the Prefect is subject to being ordered around by the Sith Master in question, Prefects also answer directly to the Grand Moff. This serves to keep the Grand Moff (and the Triumvirate, in turn) appraised of the situations and schemes of the Sith Masters and their Lords.
Prefects are promoted from military captains who wish to pursue a career in politics.
As the Sectors grow, each Shadow will receive a special task from the Triumvirate that only their sector will carry out. Some may be tasked with building vaults to safeguard Sith Artifacts or staging the bulk of the Empire's Academies. This section will also expand as needed.
NAVY
Grand Admiral
The Grand Admiral is the right hand of the Dark Chancellor and acts on his behalf. Due to the amount of work that befalls the Dark Chancellor, the Grand Admiral position was instated so that the Dark Chancellor can delegate missions down to him. Commonly, the Grand Admiral is put in charge of coordinating the naval forces of the Empire in the absence of the Dark Chancellor or under orders from him.
Admiral
Admirals are the commanders of the New Order’s numerous fleets and answer to the Grand Admiral. It is the duty of Admirals to coordinate their fleet (and work in conjunction with other admirals) in battlefield scenarios. The Admiral exercises a degree of authority over his respective fleet and all those in it. They are promoted from the ranks of Captains.
Captain

It is the duty of the Grand Marshal to oversee the coordination of the Imperial Military’s army throughout the New Order and Galaxy at large- both defensively and offensively in the absence of the Dark Minister or under orders from him. The Generals that comprise the Imperial Army answer directly to the Grand Marshal. The Gand marshal is promoted from the ranks of the Generals.

Description: After the fall of the Old Sith Empire at the hands of the Fel Imperium, Galactic Republic and United Mandolorian Clans the Sith began to scatter and fracture into multiple splinter factions. It was obvious that the Sith needed not only a rallying cry, but a new Empire with a system vastly improved over the last. The New Order is a creation of not just one of the leading Sith of the Old Empire, but a small collection of them that rule over the Sith as a Triumvirate that is in turn overseen by a "Dark Emperor. Each of the three leaders understands that one of the downfalls of the Sith was the constant infighting and thus have brought the Dark Empire together to focus on survival and the prosperity of the Darkside rather than personal gain of power.
The New Order is maintained under the impression that it will give purpose to the power that Sith take and does not rely on the philosophy that power is solely its own purpose. Every member of the New Order fights for the greater glory of the Triumvirate and the Dark Emperor and thus in turn they are fighting for the greater glory of the Sith and New Order as a whole. While still plagued with greed and the will to self-promote, measures have been taken to assure that such things do not interfere with the greater good of the New order. They also believe that through fear and military power they can enforce an everlasting peace and order throughout the galaxy in the same manner as Palpatine's Galactic Empire. They one day hope to bring about a Sith Empire that will rule the galaxy for an eternity and may even try to invade other galaxies as the Vong once had.
The Pitch: The New Order is an attempt to restore the Sith on an OOC and IC level and create a new chapter in the Sith that mixes the wants for playing in the shadows like the One Sith and the want for having an Empire. This will be accomplished with a much more comprehensive Sith Order and more defined military that will run in a similar way to the Galactic Empire in canon. This faction has a much different approach than the previous Sith factions as it focuses not only on FUs and Sith characters but also on the NFU members of the site. We will constantly be trying to evolve to accommodate more and more ideas and techniques. Everyone loves tension ICly and this faction is one way to create such a galactic tension that will open up more opportunities for RP for the whole site.
