GENERAL INFORMATION
  • Organization Name: Sith-Imperial Banking Clan
  • Classification: Financial Ministry
  • Affiliation: Sith Order
  • Organization Symbol:
    • The Sith-Imperial Banking Clan (SIBC) logo is a dark, imposing emblem. It is designed to represent the Sith Order's stranglehold over the economy and its ruthless exploitation of wealth. At the core of the logo is the stylized Sith crest in deep crimson and black, overlaid with a credit glyph. Around that is a six pointed cogwheel, a representation of industry, regulation, and economic subjugation. Each spoke is adorned with runes of Sith origin, inscribed in ur-Kittat to reinforce the notion that the economy is bound by the will of the Sith. A thick, metallic, aurelium ring encircles the cogwheel, inscribed once more with script that reads 'We Own the Future', a declaration of the Sith's supremacy over trade, wealth, and capital.
  • Description:
    • The Sith-Imperial Banking Clan (SIBC): The Economic Engine of the Empire
      At the apex of the Sith Empire's financial and economic structure sits the Sith-Imperial Banking Clan (SIBC), a monolithic institution that wields near-absolute control over the fiscal and economic systems of the Empire. Acting as both the central financial authority and the chief enforcer of economic policy, the SIBC is the true master of Sith-Imperial wealth, ensuring that all capital, trade, and taxation serve the will of the Emperor and the Dark Council.

      The SIBC functions as a vast, multi-tiered organization, incorporating various powerful financial bodies under its dominion. These include:
      • Supreme Economic Council (SEC) – The Empire's central macroeconomic planning authority, dictating long-term development and economic direction.
      • Sith-Imperial Revenue Collection Authority (SIRCA) – The brutal enforcement arm responsible for taxation, asset seizures, and forced labor recruitment.
      • Sith Credit (SIC) – The sole legal currency, issued and controlled by the SIBC, ensuring the Empire's financial stability.
      • Sith-Imperial Foreign Investment Board (SIFIB) – The regulatory body overseeing and restricting external financial influence in the Empire.
      • Sith-Imperial Securities Exchange (SISE) – The central state-controlled stock market, where only Sith-approved corporations and guilds can trade.
      • Sith-Imperial Derivatives Market (SIDM) – The speculative financial hub for war bonds, resource futures, and conquest-based investments.
      • Sith-Imperial Central Exchange (SICE) – The primary Sith stock exchange, handling all major corporate and guild-backed securities.
      • Dark Market Exchange (DMX) – The clandestine and illicit financial network run by Sith financiers, crime syndicates, and rogue merchants.
      • Outer Rim Securities Exchange (ORSE) – A high-risk speculative market catering to foreign investors, corporate warlords, and unregulated Sith enterprises.
      • War Bonds Exchange (WBE) – A shadowy financial market dedicated to funding Sith military campaigns, mercenary groups, and warlords.
    • Purpose and Role in the Sith Empire
      The Sith-Imperial Banking Clan is more than just a financial institution—it is a weapon of control, a tool of exploitation, and the lifeblood of the Sith war machine. Its primary objectives include:
      1. Total Financial Domination – By controlling every economic entity within the Empire, the SIBC ensures that all wealth, industry, and commerce align with Sith doctrine and serve Imperial expansion.
      2. Militarized Economic Policy – Every credit in the Empire flows toward conquest and control, with the SIBC funding and profiting from endless war, planetary subjugation, and economic enslavement.
      3. Rigorous Taxation and Tribute Enforcement – Through the SIRCA, the SIBC extracts tithes, tributes, and forced labor from planetary governors, vassal states, and guilds.
      4. State-Controlled Financial Markets – The SIBC oversees the Sith-Imperial Securities Exchange (SISE) and Central Exchange (SICE), ensuring that only Sith-approved entities can generate wealth.
      5. Predatory Foreign Investment Practices – Through the SIFIB, the SIBC manipulates external investors, traps them in one-sided economic agreements, and seizes their assets at will.
      6. Monopolization of Trade and Industry – No industry, from agriculture to shipbuilding, exists outside SIBC control, either through direct ownership, corporate proxies, or forced compliance.
      7. Illicit Financial Operations – The SIBC also engages in covert financing, laundering money through black markets, cartel operations, and Sith-aligned shadow banks, ensuring no wealth is beyond Sith reach.
    • The Unassailable Power of the SIBC
      The Sith-Imperial Banking Clan is often considered the second-most powerful entity in the Empire, surpassed only by the Emperor and the Dark Council. It is said that no Sith war machine moves, no Legion marches, and no planetary economy functions without the SIBC's approval. Its influence is so absolute that even the most powerful Sith Lords must bow before its economic decrees, lest they find their wealth, resources, and supporters vanishing overnight.

      The SIBC does not just facilitate trade and banking—it dictates the financial reality of the Sith Empire. Every credit, every labor force, and every transaction ultimately serves the grand design of eternal Sith domination.

      Economic Philosophy
      The economy of the Eleventh Sith Empire is a hybrid of centralization and controlled capitalism, designed to serve the overarching aims of the Sith ruling class. At its core, it prioritizes military expansion, industrial dominance, and absolute control over economic actors, both private and state-run. Economic policy is not intended to enrich the masses or ensure equal distribution of wealth, but rather to maximize productivity, suppress dissent through economic dependency, and ensure a continuous flow of resources to the Sith war machine.

      Fiscal Authority and Revenue Collection
      The SIBC ensures the flow of wealth into Sith coffers by any means necessary, including forced seizures, debtor imprisonment, and outright expropriation. It oversees all state-owned industries, regulates foreign investment, and controls taxation through a complex system of Imperial Tithes, direct taxation, and enforced labor contributions.

      Primary Revenue Sources
      1. Imperial Tithes – Every planetary governor must submit a fixed percentage of local GDP, enforced by the SIRCA.
      2. Forced Tribute from Vassal States – Vassals must pay tribute in resources, personnel, or technology, ensuring their continued subjugation.
      3. State-Owned Industry Profits – All major sectors, from mining to weapons manufacturing, are controlled by nationalized cartels under the SEC.
      4. Private Sector Taxation – Independent merchants and guilds must contribute significant portions of their revenue to the state.
      5. Plunder & Spoils of War – Sith conquests routinely seize assets, labor, and wealth from conquered worlds, funneling these into state control.
      6. Slave Labor & Penal Workforces – Prisoners and indentured workers are used as an economic engine, especially in infrastructure projects and resource extraction.
GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
Domain:
  • Territorial Claims: The Financial Dominion of the Sith

    While the Sith-Imperial Banking Clan (SIBC) does not control planets in the traditional sense of military occupation, it lays claim to vast economic territories across the Sith Empire. The SIBC's control is not defined by borders, but by financial influence—it dominates entire planetary economies, dictating trade policies, taxation systems, and financial regulations that no Sith-Imperial world can escape.


    The SIBC's direct holdings include:

    • The Central Authority – The heart of Sith finance on Jutrand, where all major economic decisions are made.
    • Sith-Imperial Banking Worlds – Planets and moons dedicated to financial infrastructure, data storage, and wealth management.
    • Treasury Vault Worlds – Entire worlds converted into armored repositories for state assets, Sith war funds, and emergency reserves.
    • War Profiteer Enclaves – High-security investment hubs where Sith-aligned corporations and financiers speculate on conquest, war, and resource exploitation.
    • The Dark Market Network – A hidden financial underworld where illicit Sith funds flow through shadow banks, cartel investments, and off-grid economic operations.
  • While the SIBC does not formally govern planets, its economic grip is tighter than any military occupation—a world can fight off a Sith army, but no world can fight off debt and financial ruin.


    Community Presence: Distant, Yet Omnipresent

    The SIBC is not a public-facing institution in the traditional sense. Unlike trade guilds or noble houses, it does not seek popular support, nor does it concern itself with civic affairs. To the common citizen, the SIBC is an unseen force that dictates their lives from the shadows—an entity that ensures their taxes are extracted, their wages are determined, and their debts are collected with ruthless precision.

    That said, the SIBC is deeply integrated into Sith society, but in ways that most citizens never see directly. Its influence is felt in:
    • Tribute & Tax Collection – The SIBC dictates how local governments extract wealth from their citizens and enforces quotas with violent efficiency.
    • Employment & Guild Oversight – Every labor guild and industrial workforce operates under strict financial oversight, ensuring that production and taxation remain optimal.
    • Loan Systems & Debt Servitude – Many non-Sith citizens are trapped in generational debt, ensuring that their families remain perpetual labor forces for Sith industry and expansion.
    • Propaganda & Economic Indoctrination – The SIBC funds educational institutions, financial literacy programs, and state media outlets that promote the idea that economic servitude is an honor and necessity.
  • In essence, the SIBC is everywhere, yet nowhere at the same time. It does not parade its power openly, yet its grip on every financial transaction makes it an inescapable force in daily life.


    Relationship with the Local Populace: Fear & Indifference

    The average citizen does not interact with the SIBC directly, but they fear its reach. To them, it is a cold, distant entity that exists beyond their understanding, enforcing economic policies that favor the strong and punish the weak.


    How Different Groups Perceive the SIBC
    • Common Citizens & Laborers:
      • See the SIBC as a merciless financial machine that ensures they remain trapped in debt, overworked, and taxed into submission.
      • While they may curse its existence in private, they do not rebel—because rebellion means financial extermination.
      • Those who comply are granted better rations, housing, and minor financial incentives, ensuring that fear and compliance remain in balance.
    • Guild Workers & Industry Leaders:
      • View the SIBC as a strict but necessary force that keeps the economy running smoothly.
      • They compete viciously for SIBC favor, knowing that economic success is entirely dependent on banking alliances.
      • Those who fail to meet SIBC quotas face sanctions, forced corporate dissolution, or financial erasure.
    • Sith Lords & Dark Council Members:
      • Respect the power of the SIBC, knowing that even the mightiest Sith cannot wage war without funding.
      • Some resent the SIBC's untouchable status, but fear openly challenging it, as economic retaliation can cripple their legions, fleets, and holdings.
      • Others use the SIBC to consolidate power, leveraging economic strangulation against rivals rather than brute force.
    • Vassal States & Conquered Worlds:
      • For these entities, the SIBC is both a master and a parasite, draining resources while ensuring planetary security.
      • Many local rulers serve not out of loyalty to the Sith, but because the alternative is financial ruin and planetary economic collapse.
      • Entire planetary populations are often forced into economic servitude, with their resources, labor, and industries dictated entirely by SIBC contracts.

  • Final Assessment: The Invisible Empire

    The Sith-Imperial Banking Clan does not seek love, nor does it need public recognition. It exists above the concept of governance or public approval, answering only to the Sith-Imperial elite.

    To the common man, it is a terrifying, impersonal force that dictates the economic reality of their existence. To Sith Lords and rulers, it is both an ally and a threat—a silent, ever-watching enforcer of financial law, immune to ambition, politics, or personal vendettas.

    In the end, the SIBC does not need to command armies or govern planets—it simply owns the wealth of those who do.

SOCIAL INFORMATION
Hierarchy:

The SIBC operates as a rigid, hierarchical financial empire, structured similarly to a Sith-Imperial ministry, but with corporate efficiency and absolute authority over economic affairs. Unlike the military, where power is earned through combat, the SIBC's hierarchy is built upon fiscal acumen, ruthless decision-making, and unwavering loyalty to the Sith economic order.



1. The Chairman (Supreme Authority)
  • The highest-ranking official within the SIBC, answering only to the Emperor and Dark Council.
  • Oversees all economic, banking, and financial policies in the Sith Empire.
  • Holds final authority over all financial kill-switches, planetary tithes, and asset seizures.
  • Appointed by the Emperor or the Dark Council—often a Sith Lord with mastery of both economics and Dark Side manipulation.


2. The Supreme Economic Council (SEC) (Executive Leadership)
  • A council of the most powerful financial minds and Sith-aligned economists, responsible for shaping long-term economic policy, financial warfare strategies, and large-scale investment allocations.
  • Each member oversees a specific sector of Sith economics, ensuring state industries, military funding, and trade markets operate at peak efficiency.
  • Includes Sith Lords, corporate elites, and technocratic financial enforcers.


3. The High Directors of Finance (Ministerial Oversight)
  • Directly control the major branches of Sith finance, ensuring that economic policy is enforced throughout the Empire.
  • Each High Director manages a specific division within the SIBC, including:
    • Director of Imperial Revenue (SIRCA Chief Revenuer) – Oversees all taxation, planetary tributes, and debt enforcement policies.
    • Director of Securities & Trade (SISE & SICE Oversight) – Controls all Sith-approved stock exchanges, war bonds, and financial derivatives markets.
    • Director of Foreign Investment (SIFIB Head) – Manages foreign trade relations, off-world financial exploitation, and asset seizures from non-Sith entities.
    • Director of Financial Compliance & Intelligence (Economic Inquisition Chief) – Operates the financial surveillance apparatus, tracking and eliminating fiscal dissidents.


4. The Sith-Imperial Banking Guildmasters (Regional & Sector Control)
  • The direct enforcers of SIBC economic control across planetary and industrial sectors.
  • Each Guildmaster oversees a major industry, trade hub, or economic region, ensuring compliance with Sith-Imperial regulations.
  • They compete with each other for Sith favor, often engaging in financial warfare, corporate espionage, and market manipulation to gain more influence.


5. The Revenuer Lords & Financial Enforcers (Debt Collectors & Tax Enforcers)
  • Revenuer Lords lead teams of Sith-aligned tax collectors, asset auditors, and financial inquisitors, ensuring economic order is maintained at the planetary level.
  • Financial Enforcers are responsible for extracting unpaid debts, nationalizing industries, and liquidating rebellious enterprises.
  • Often accompanied by Sith-Imperial military support, as their work frequently results in violent resistance from planetary officials and corporate entities.


6. The Bureaucratic Machine (Operational Workforce)
  • Thousands of financial analysts, accountants, data auditors, and administrative officials ensure that every credit, every transaction, and every planetary tithe is accounted for.
  • While lacking direct power, these technocratic functionaries wield influence through their ability to manipulate Sith financial systems from within.

Membership:
OOC Preface: Anyone who wants to join the SIBC should reach out to the Sith Order Faction Staff to understand the current memberbase, and roles available. While a Director is usually taken, other roles within the SIBC are more than welcome to be handed out on request.

IC:
Size & Membership of the Sith-Imperial Banking Clan (SIBC)

The Sith-Imperial Banking Clan (SIBC) is massive, operating as the single largest financial organization in the Sith Empire. Unlike traditional corporations or military factions, its influence spans entire economic sectors, planetary tribute systems, and interstellar trade networks. The SIBC's personnel range from elite financial warlords to faceless bureaucrats, all serving the economic engine of Sith domination.


Estimated Personnel Count

The SIBC is divided into several layers of hierarchy, each with its own operational workforce, enforcers, and elite leadership.
  • High-Level Executives & Sith Leadership: 200-300 individuals
    • Includes the Grand Magister, Supreme Economic Council, and High Directors who dictate Sith economic policy.
  • Sith-Imperial Banking Guildmasters & Revenuer Lords: 2,000-3,000 individuals
    • Regional financial overlords, overseeing planetary economies, corporate monopolies, and debt enforcement operations.
  • Financial Enforcers & Revenue Collection Agents: 50,000-100,000 individuals
    • Ruthless collectors who seize assets, enforce financial compliance, and eliminate economic dissidents.
  • Bureaucrats, Analysts, and Market Regulators: Millions
    • The vast administrative machine that ensures the Sith economy remains tightly controlled and brutally efficient.
  • Corporate Proxies & Private Sector Operatives: Unknown
    • Includes Sith-aligned CEOs, economic spies, and financial manipulators embedded in off-world enterprises and foreign banking institutions.

Total SIBC direct personnel likely exceeds several million, with millions more indirectly serving its interests through Sith-controlled industry and planetary economies.



Becoming a Member of the SIBC

Joining the SIBC is not easy—it requires brutal ambition, financial ruthlessness, and complete loyalty to Sith economic doctrine. Only the most calculating, efficient, and ruthless individuals are permitted to rise within its ranks.

Paths to Membership:
  1. Born into a Sith Financial Family
    • The easiest way to enter the upper echelons of the SIBC is through heredity, as powerful Sith banking dynasties control massive portions of the Empire's wealth.
    • However, even heirs must prove their worth, or they risk exile, asset seizure, or assassination by their own bloodline.
  2. Recruitment from the Sith Bureaucracy & Corporate World
    • Brilliant economists, accountants, and corporate manipulators are handpicked by the SIBC's elite, offered a chance to join its ranks in exchange for absolute loyalty.
    • Many are recruited from Imperial universities, guild leadership, or cutthroat corporate takeovers.
  3. Proving Oneself through Financial Warfare
    • Potential recruits must demonstrate superior economic cunning, often by:
      • Crippling a rival corporation.
      • Engineering a hostile takeover of a planetary economy.
      • Successfully executing a financial assassination (forcing a target into ruin or exile through economic sabotage).
  4. Initiation Ritual: The Trial of the Red Ledger
    • Before formal acceptance, recruits must undergo the Trial of the Red Ledger, where they are presented with a financial scenario rigged against them.
    • They must manipulate, deceive, and betray their way out of the debt trap—failure results in either rejection or immediate termination.


Marrying into the SIBC: The Cost of Blood & Wealth

The Sith-Imperial Banking Elite do not allow outsiders into their inner circle without a price.
  • Marriage is purely transactional—those seeking to marry into SIBC families must bring immense wealth, economic influence, or political leverage.
  • Approval is required—marriage into the Sith financial aristocracy requires the approval of the family's ruling financial syndicate.
  • Bloodlines are tested—many SIBC families engineer selective breeding to ensure their descendants possess both economic brilliance and Force sensitivity.
  • Contracts & Oaths—spouses must sign binding financial contracts, ensuring that all wealth and inheritance remain under Sith banking control.

Any spouse deemed unworthy, financially unstable, or disloyal is either cast out or "removed" to prevent contamination of the bloodline.



Getting Hired into the SIBC: A Ruthless Process

Joining the lower tiers of the SIBC is slightly more accessible, though still incredibly selective.
  • Guild Affiliations Required – Almost all hires must come through pre-existing Sith-Imperial trade guilds, corporate proxies, or financial networks.
  • Merciless Selection Process – Candidates must pass a rigorous series of psychological and financial stress tests, proving that they can survive in a world of constant economic warfare.
  • Betrayal Tests – Finalists are secretly ordered to sabotage a competitor or mentor to prove they will place profit and SIBC interests above personal loyalty.

Once accepted, they are placed into bureaucratic, enforcement, or intelligence divisions, where they rise only by eliminating rivals and proving absolute efficiency.


Final Assessment: The Ultimate Economic Hierarchy

The SIBC does not welcome weakness. Its members are born into wealth, forced to prove their worth, or eliminated if they fail to meet expectations. Only the most ruthless, financially brilliant, and ambitious individuals can rise within its fortress of economic control.

Climate:
Internal Climate of the Sith-Imperial Banking Clan (SIBC)

"In the military, a Sith may die by the blade. In the SIBC, they die by the contract."

The Sith-Imperial Banking Clan (SIBC) is not a workplace—it is a battlefield. Unlike the military, where strength is proven through combat, in the SIBC, strength is proven through financial cunning, betrayal, and absolute control over economic power. The climate within the SIBC is cold, professional, and ruthless, operating more like a hybrid of a galactic megacorporation, a Sith temple, and an economic intelligence agency than a traditional financial institution.



Corporate Culture: Ruthless, Paranoid, and Efficient
  1. An Empire of Numbers, Not People
    • The SIBC does not care about individuals—it cares about results.
    • Performance is judged entirely on economic output, market manipulation success, and political influence.
    • Promotions are based on profit margins, efficiency in asset liquidation, and strategic sabotage of rivals.
  2. A Culture of Fear and Betrayal
    • Every member knows that failure is not tolerated—those who underperform may find their assets seized, careers erased, or worse.
    • Assassinations by economic warfare (ruining a rival financially before they can rise to power) are common and even encouraged.
    • Information is currency—spies and informants exist at every level, reporting disloyalty, inefficiency, or incompetence to superiors for rewards.
  3. Workplace Intrigue and Economic Espionage
    • The higher one rises, the more dangerous the job becomes.
    • Backroom deals, secret alliances, and covert market warfare are daily occurrences.
    • Many financial enforcers and high-level executives travel with bodyguards, even inside the Central Authority.
  4. No Room for Weakness
    • Employees are trained to view morality as an economic liability—compassion, fairness, and mercy are seen as signs of weakness that will be exploited.
    • Those who fail to maintain quotas, enforce taxation policies, or successfully predict market fluctuations are often demoted or eliminated.


The Workplace Experience: Daily Life in the SIBC
  1. Hyper-Professionalism, No Fraternization
    • The SIBC maintains a cold, calculated, and sterile work environment—no unnecessary conversations, no personal relationships, only business.
    • Employees are expected to work long hours, with little regard for personal well-being.
    • Break rooms exist only as surveillance hubs, where conversations are monitored for signs of disloyalty.
  2. The Omnipresence of the Typhojem AI
    • The Typhojem AI monitors every financial transaction, every employee movement, and every spoken word within the Central Authority.
    • Those suspected of economic inefficiency or financial dissent may suddenly "disappear" or be reassigned to obscure locations.
    • Some employees whisper that Typhojem doesn't just track credits—it tracks thoughts.
  3. The Unwritten Rule: Advance or Die
    • Stagnation in the SIBC is a death sentence. Those who do not actively climb the corporate ladder will find themselves discarded or sacrificed for the gain of others.
    • Executives maintain elite teams of loyalists, using them to undermine competitors, manipulate financial markets, and secure power.
    • Promotion ceremonies are clandestine affairs, often involving subtle acknowledgments of past betrayals and secret agreements.
  4. Economic Compliance is Absolute
    • Any resistance to SIBC policies, refusal to enact financial directives, or economic dissent is treated as treason against the Sith Empire itself.
    • Financial inquisitors routinely audit employees, ensuring they are loyal, efficient, and fully aligned with Sith economic doctrine.
    • Those who show signs of ethical hesitation are often reassigned to "special projects" that they never return from.


Risk of Death: High at the Top, Low at the Bottom
  • Entry-Level Employees – Moderate Safety
    • Those at the lowest tiers of the SIBC experience grueling work schedules, high surveillance, and constant pressure but are not in immediate danger unless they try to betray the system.
    • Failure usually results in job termination, economic ruin, or exile—rarely death.
  • Mid-Tier Analysts, Accountants, and Financial Overseers – Risk Increases
    • Those responsible for taxation enforcement, war bond management, or planetary economic control face direct threats from Sith warlords, rebellious planets, and rival corporations.
    • Assassination attempts from outside forces (disgruntled planetary rulers, exiled business leaders) are common.
    • Many mid-tier employees vanish under suspicious circumstances when they become too ambitious or too inefficient.
  • Executives, High Directors, and Supreme Economic Council Members – Extreme Danger
    • Those in high command are always at risk—not from external threats, but from internal rivals.
    • Wealth and power are directly tied to survival—if an executive makes a poor financial decision, their enemies will seize the opportunity to eliminate them.
    • The higher one rises, the shorter the life expectancy—unless they are truly ruthless.

Reputation:
How the Galaxy Sees the Sith-Imperial Banking Clan (SIBC)
"They do not conquer planets. They do not command legions. And yet, they own everything."

The Sith-Imperial Banking Clan (SIBC) is one of the most feared, distrusted, and quietly despised institutions in the Sith Empire—yet, at the same time, it is an entity that no one can afford to oppose. It does not have the overt brutality of the Sith military, nor the mystical fanaticism of the Sepulchral. Instead, it wields the cold, inescapable power of economics, binding entire civilizations in chains of debt, taxation, and financial servitude.

Common Perceptions of the SIBC

1. "The Unseen Empire" (Sith Lords, Dark Council, and Imperial Rulers)
  • Many Sith Lords and planetary rulers fear the SIBC more than the Jedi, because its power is insidious—it does not conquer by force, but by economic suffocation.
  • No Sith warlord or governor can rule without financial backing, and the SIBC ensures only those loyal to the Sith financial order remain funded.
  • The Dark Council tolerates the SIBC only because it keeps the Empire running—but they know that, if left unchecked, it could become a power beyond their control.

2. "They Own Everything, and They Take Everything" (Imperial Governors, Vassal States, and Taxed Populations)
  • Sith-Imperial planetary governors loathe the SIBC, as they must answer to brutal financial enforcers who demand higher tithes, tributes, and quotas every cycle.
  • Many vassal rulers are little more than figureheads, with their planetary economies entirely dictated by the SIBC's policies.
  • Some planets have attempted to resist their economic stranglehold, only to find their resources seized, their industries collapsed, and their ruling class assassinated or exiled.

3. "They Do Not Kill You, They Just Make You Starve" (Common Citizens, Laborers, and the Lower Classes)
  • The common people of the Sith Empire hate the SIBC more than the military, the Inquisition, or the Sepulchral—because while the Sith military may crush rebellions, and the Inquisition may purge traitors, the SIBC ensures they remain poor, indebted, and powerless forever.
  • Entire generations are trapped in economic servitude, forced to work in guild-controlled industries with no hope of social mobility.
  • Taxation, debt imprisonment, and forced labor are common punishments for failing to meet SIBC quotas.

4. "A Business Partner or a Death Sentence" (Trade Guilds, Corporate Leaders, and Economic Entities)
  • Some guilds and corporate leaders see the SIBC as an opportunity, a path to power and riches—if they play by its rules.
  • However, if a business grows too independent, too wealthy, or too ambitious, the SIBC will either absorb it or destroy it.
  • The SIBC allows limited private enterprise, but it ensures no corporation ever becomes powerful enough to challenge its financial monopoly.

5. "The Sith Military Destroys Planets. The Banking Clan Makes Sure They Stay Broken." (Foreign Governments, Independent Systems, and the Galactic Community)
  • Outside the Sith Empire, the SIBC is seen as one of the most insidious arms of Sith expansion.
  • Unlike the Sith military, which conquers worlds through force, the SIBC enslaves them economically—forcing them into crippling debt, resource dependence, and exploitative trade agreements.
  • Independent systems that refuse to engage in Sith-backed trade deals often find their economies collapsing due to SIBC sabotage.
  • In the Outer Rim, the phrase "to be indebted to the Sith" is often synonymous with "to be doomed."

Curios:
Symbols of Membership in the Sith-Imperial Banking Clan (SIBC)

Membership in the Sith-Imperial Banking Clan (SIBC) is not marked by obvious uniforms or flamboyant insignia—the organization values subtlety, power, and wealth over ostentatious displays. However, its members do carry specific markings, artifacts, and encrypted identifiers that signify their rank, authority, and access within the SIBC hierarchy.


1. The Signet of Dominion (SIBC Signet Ring / Credit Seal)
  • A dark, metallic ring, crafted from blackened phrik and obsidian, inscribed with Sith financial runes representing wealth, power, and control.
  • The face of the ring bears the insignia of the Sith-Imperial Banking Clan—a six-spoked cogwheel surrounding the Sith crest, symbolizing the unbreakable cycle of economic domination.
  • Embedded with an encrypted data chip, allowing high-ranking members to authorize transactions, verify their rank, and access secured SIBC facilities.
  • Only higher-ranked officials and Sith-aligned executives are granted these rings—possession without authorization is considered punishable by financial erasure or execution.


2. The Red Ledger (Personal Financial Record)
  • A small, datacron-like financial ledger that all SIBC members above mid-tier rank are required to carry.
  • Encodes the bearer's debts, assets, and recorded financial conquests—a symbolic representation of their value to the organization.
  • The most successful financiers have "clean ledgers", meaning they hold no debts and have only profited off others' losses.
  • The most feared members have "crimson ledgers", indicating they have financially ruined entire worlds and corporate entities.


3. The Silent Cipher (Encrypted Identifier Pendant)
  • A small, unassuming pendant, typically worn under clothing or embedded into cybernetic implants.
  • Functions as a key to high-security SIBC networks, using biometric encryption and Force attunement (for Sith members) to verify access.
  • Can be used in private meetings or shadow negotiations, where Sith financiers must silently verify one another's legitimacy without speaking.


4. The Mark of Compliance (Invisible Branding for Debt Servants & Enforcers)
  • Not all markings of the SIBC are worn willingly—some are forced onto debtors, financial enforcers, and enslaved economists who serve the organization.
  • A hidden, ultraviolet sigil is branded onto the skin of those who owe the SIBC immense debts or serve under forced contracts.
  • These marks are only visible under Sith-forged security scanners—allowing financial enforcers to quickly identify those who are owned by the Banking Clan.
  • Some high-ranking officials wear a symbolic version of the Mark of Compliance, signifying that while they may be powerful, they are still bound to the greater Sith economic machine.


5. The Blood Contract (Sith-Forged Financial Pact)
  • A ceremonial document, written in Sith runes and encrypted financial codes, signed in the blood or genetic imprint of the signee.
  • All high-ranking members of the SIBC must swear an oath of loyalty, binding themselves to the economic supremacy of the Sith Empire.
  • These contracts are permanent—any attempt to betray the SIBC will result in financial ruin, bounty execution, or forced labor servitude.
  • The most extreme contracts bind families across generations, ensuring that descendants inherit their forebears' financial obligations and service to the Clan.


6. The Coin of Silence (Token of Absolute Authority)
  • A black metal coin, forged from a rare alloy only found in Sith-Imperial treasury vaults.
  • Carried only by the Grand Magister of Wealth, Supreme Economic Council members, and elite financial enforcers.
  • The presence of the coin at a negotiation signifies that all terms are final—no further discussion, no escape from debt, no second chances.
  • A tradition exists where those who fail the SIBC are given one of these coins—a silent warning that they must disappear, or be erased.

Rules:
The Sith-Imperial Banking Clan (SIBC) Doctrine
"We do not raise armies. We do not wield sabers. But we rule them all the same."

The Sith-Imperial Banking Clan (SIBC) follows a strict set of philosophies, economic doctrines, and Sith-aligned financial principles that govern not just its operations, but its very existence. Unlike traditional Sith factions that embrace the Code of the Sith in terms of personal power and conquest, the SIBC applies these principles through economic warfare, financial enslavement, and absolute market control.


Core Tenets of the SIBC: The Doctrine of Wealth & Dominion
  1. Wealth is Power, and Power is Control.
    • To own wealth is to control the fate of others—economic chains are stronger than iron, and financial dependence is greater than any military conquest.
    • A Sith may wield a blade, but if they cannot fund their war, they will perish.
    • The SIBC ensures that all financial power remains in the hands of those worthy to wield it.
  2. Debt is the Foundation of Empire.
    • Those who owe the SIBC are owned by the SIBC—a debtor is a servant, a vassal, a tool to be used.
    • Planets, corporations, and even Sith Lords exist only as long as their economic value does.
    • The Sith-Imperial Empire does not conquer for glory—it conquers to extract, to profit, to own.
  3. Economic Warfare is the True War.
    • A planet may resist a Sith fleet, but it cannot resist economic strangulation.
    • True victory is not destruction, but absolute financial subjugation.
    • The SIBC ensures that its enemies destroy themselves, one transaction at a time.
  4. All Transactions Must Serve the Empire.
    • Free enterprise is a dangerous illusion—all wealth, all trade, and all industry must ultimately serve the Sith Empire.
    • The SIBC is the final authority on what is permitted, what is outlawed, and what is absorbed into the Sith-Imperial machine.
    • Those who grow too wealthy without serving the Empire are purged—for no one profits outside the Sith.
  5. Fear the Red Ledger.
    • To be listed in the Red Ledger is to be marked for financial erasure, debt slavery, or liquidation.
    • There is no forgiveness in the SIBC—only profit, loss, and elimination.
    • To be struck from the Ledgers of the SIBC is to be erased from existence—legally, financially, and often physically.
  6. The Sith Rule the Force. The SIBC Rules the Sith.
    • The Dark Lords may believe they rule the Empire, but they too are bound by wealth.
    • No war can be waged, no conquest can be sustained, without the backing of the Banking Clan.
    • Even the Emperor must ensure that the SIBC remains in control, lest the Empire collapse under its own inefficiencies.


The SIBC's Role in Sith Eternalism & Theological Influence

While the SIBC does not openly preach religious doctrine, it is deeply intertwined with Sith Eternalism, particularly in the way it applies the Sith Dialectic to economic struggle.
  1. Wealth and Poverty are Eternal Conflicts.
    • Just as the strong must rule the weak, the wealthy must rule the impoverished.
    • Economic struggle fuels growth—poverty ensures obedience, and ambition ensures only the most cunning rise.
  2. The Sith'ari of Wealth Shall Emerge.
    • The Sith'ari of the economy is not a warrior, but a financier—one who wields galactic markets as a weapon and controls all wealth.
    • Just as the Sith believe in an ultimate conqueror, the SIBC believes in the ultimate financier—the one who will render all economic resistance meaningless.
  3. The Worm Emperor's Chain is Economic, Not Just Spiritual.
    • The Sepulchral binds souls through dark rituals, but the SIBC binds them through debt.
    • Every citizen of the Sith Empire is financially linked to the SIBC—their wealth, their debt, their labor contribute to the eternal expansion of Sith dominion.


Forbidden Doctrines: What the SIBC Will Not Tolerate

While the SIBC allows controlled capitalism, private enterprise, and corporate growth, it does not permit financial independence from the Empire. Certain economic philosophies are considered treasonous, and anyone caught spreading them is eradicated from the financial system.
  1. Economic Libertarianism ("Free Trade Heresy")
    • The belief that planets and corporations should have full economic autonomy is a direct threat to Sith-Imperial order.
    • Any world attempting to secede financially from the Empire is treated as a traitor state and subjected to economic obliteration.
  2. Financial Collectivism ("Wealth is for the Many")
    • The concept that resources should be shared equally among citizens is seen as an ideology of the weak.
    • Redistribution efforts are violently suppressed, and those promoting them are sentenced to debt servitude.
  3. Self-Sufficient Economies ("The False Prosperity Doctrine")
    • No planet is permitted to achieve full self-sufficiency, as it could lead to rebellion against Sith economic control.
    • The SIBC ensures that every world remains dependent on Sith-backed financial systems, trade networks, and tax structures.

Goals:
The Goals & Future Ambitions of the Sith-Imperial Banking Clan (SIBC)
"We do not seek power. We define it."

The Sith-Imperial Banking Clan (SIBC) does not simply exist to regulate the economy—it exists to control it absolutely. Its ambitions extend far beyond taxation and trade; its true goal is to make economic independence impossible for any entity—planetary, corporate, or individual. Every Sith war machine, every Sith Lord's holdings, and every citizen's labor must serve the greater economic engine of the Sith Empire.

The SIBC's future plans are divided into three core strategic objectives: total economic control of the Sith Empire, financial subjugation of external markets, and ensuring its own eternal survival.


1. Total Economic Control Over the Sith Empire
"No wealth shall exist outside our grasp."

The SIBC already controls planetary taxation, stock markets, and financial policy—but it seeks even greater levels of integration and dependency.

Key Future Plans:
  • Finalizing the "Unified Sith Economic Doctrine" – A system in which all trade, taxation, industry, and planetary wealth are fully dictated by the SIBC.
  • Eliminating Economic Dissidents – No planet, corporation, or Sith Lord will be allowed to operate outside SIBC oversight.
  • The Complete Nationalization of Major Industries – The SIBC seeks to absorb all vital production sectors (weapons, shipbuilding, resource mining) into state-controlled economic monopolies.
  • The Automation of Financial Enforcement – With AI-driven revenue systems and biometric debt enforcement, the SIBC aims to remove human error from taxation and compliance measures.
  • Economic Erasure as a Political Weapon – Political dissent will be crushed not by force, but by economic annihilation—opponents of Sith rule will find their assets liquidated, their supply chains cut, and their industries collapsed.
Endgame Vision: The Sith-Imperial economy will function like a perfect, automated war machine, with every citizen, guild, and industrial entity locked into an inescapable system of production, taxation, and financial servitude.


2. Expansion into External Markets & Galactic Financial Domination
"Conquest need not come by the blade alone."

The SIBC does not wish to merely control the Sith economy—it seeks to extend its influence beyond Sith-Imperial space, into foreign markets, neutral territories, and even the economies of its enemies.

Key Future Plans:
  • Expanding the Outer Rim Securities Exchange (ORSE) – The SIBC's "semi-legal" stock exchange for Outer Rim investors will be expanded to trap independent systems in debt-based investments.
  • Weaponizing Loans & Debt Imperialism – By offering high-risk, high-interest loans to struggling planetary economies, the SIBC ensures long-term financial servitude without needing military invasion.
  • Destabilizing Rival Galactic Economies – Through covert financial operations, currency manipulation, and market sabotage, the SIBC will weaken enemy factions, forcing them into Sith-aligned economic agreements.
  • Expanding Black Market Networks – By secretly funding the Dark Market Exchange (DMX) and criminal cartels, the SIBC will flood foreign economies with corruption, creating internal financial instability.
  • Acquiring Foreign Banks & Economic Institutions – The SIBC seeks to buy out, infiltrate, or outright take over non-Sith banking institutions, ensuring even non-Imperial citizens become trapped in Sith-controlled financial systems.

Endgame Vision: Even non-Sith worlds will unknowingly serve the Sith Empire, their economies subtly controlled through predatory investments, trade manipulation, and corporate subversion.


3. Ensuring the SIBC's Eternal Survival
"We will outlast the Empire itself."

The SIBC does not simply serve the Sith Empire—it ensures that even if the Empire falls, its economic grip will remain. Unlike the Sith military, which relies on direct conquest, the SIBC's influence is hidden, structural, and self-perpetuating.

Key Future Plans:
  • The Black Vault Initiative – A hidden off-world financial archive, containing secret wealth reserves, encrypted Sith banking records, and blackmail material on Sith-Imperial elites to ensure the SIBC's survival in case of war or betrayal.
  • Ensuring the Dark Council Remains Financially Dependent – By controlling their war funds, supply chains, and planetary taxation systems, the SIBC ensures that no Sith Lord can rise without economic backing.
  • Deep Space Backup Data Archives – The Typhojem AI's financial records and enforcement algorithms will be replicated in secret, off-grid locations, ensuring that even if the Central Authority is destroyed, the system continues.
  • The Red Ledger Protocol – If the Sith Empire ever collapses, the SIBC will ensure that the next galactic superpower inherits its debts and trade dependencies, allowing the organization to survive under any regime.

Endgame Vision: The SIBC will outlive the Sith Empire itself, persisting as a financial shadow organization, silently controlling wealth even in a post-Sith galaxy.



4. Controlling the Future Through Education & Economic Indoctrination
"Teach them young, and they will never think to rebel."

The SIBC recognizes that true control begins with the mind—therefore, it seeks to expand its influence into education, training, and Sith financial philosophy.

Key Future Plans:
  • The Sith-Imperial Economic Academy – A university dedicated to training future financiers, tax enforcers, and economic strategists, ensuring a new generation of financial manipulators.
  • Financial Indoctrination in Imperial Schools – Sith education programs will begin teaching children the necessity of debt servitude, taxation compliance, and corporate loyalty from a young age.
  • Mandatory Economic Service for Non-Sith Citizens – Just as citizens are conscripted into the military, non-Sith individuals will be required to serve in financial institutions, tax collection agencies, and labor guilds as part of their "civic duty."
  • The Purge of Economic Heretics – Any philosophy that promotes financial independence, resource redistribution, or economic self-sufficiency will be erased from historical records.

Endgame Vision: Future generations will not just obey Sith economic doctrine—they will believe it is the only way the galaxy can function.



Final Assessment: The SIBC's Long-Term Goals
  • Short-Term: Complete economic control over the Sith Empire, ensuring no Sith Lord, planetary governor, or industrialist exists outside its reach.
  • Mid-Term: Expand Sith economic influence beyond its borders, creating financial dependencies that weaken rival galactic factions.
  • Long-Term: Ensure the SIBC's survival beyond the Sith Empire itself, becoming an eternal financial shadow empire that outlasts all Sith regimes.
  • Ultimate Vision: The galaxy itself will be bound by Sith economics, ensuring that even those who believe they are free are, in reality, enslaved to the economic machine of the Sith-Imperial Banking Clan.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
History of the Sith-Imperial Banking Clan (SIBC)
"Empires rise and fall, but wealth is eternal."

The Sith-Imperial Banking Clan (SIBC) was born in the aftermath of Darth Empyrean's ascension as Emperor, forged in the fires of economic crisis, internal betrayal, and the need for absolute financial order. It was not simply created to manage Sith wealth—it was created to ensure that the Sith Empire could never be undone by financial collapse again.


The Fiscal Ruins of the Tenth Sith Empire (The Catalyst for the SIBC's Formation)

Before Darth Empyrean unified the Sith, the Tenth Sith Empire's economic structure was a fractured mess:
  • Sith Lords hoarded wealth, using their personal war chests to fund private armies, leaving the Empire's infrastructure to rot.
  • Independent financial institutions operated outside Sith control, allowing corporate corruption and economic manipulation to weaken Imperial influence.
  • The Great Sith-Imperial Fiscal Crisis occurred when military overspending, war bond collapses, and planetary tax revolts drained the Empire's treasury.
  • Sith warlords refused to cooperate financially, each believing they alone should dictate economic policy, leading to trade wars, hoarding of resources, and the collapse of Imperial cohesion.
By the time Empyrean declared himself Emperor, the Sith Order was militarily strong—but economically unstable, inefficient, and dangerously fragmented.



The Creation of the SIBC: Empyrean's Economic Coup

Darth Empyrean knew that conquering the Sith Order was not enough—he had to conquer its economy. If Sith Lords remained financially independent, they would always pose a threat to Imperial stability. Thus, he devised a ruthless plan to centralize all wealth under a single authority.

With his most trusted financial and economic advisors, he enacted the Grand Economic Reformation, which included:
  1. The Liquidation of Private Sith Fortunes – Empyrean nationalized all warlord treasuries, personal vaults, and private Sith banking institutions, declaring that no Sith Lord could hold wealth outside Imperial oversight.
  2. The Grand Ledger Purge – Using the Typhojem AI, the SIBC erased all pre-existing Sith debts, financial agreements, and corporate contracts, resetting the entire economic structure under Sith-Imperial control.
  3. The Consolidation of Trade Guilds & Corporations – Independent guilds were either absorbed into the Empire or crushed—only Sith-approved entities were allowed to conduct large-scale commerce.
  4. The Formation of the Supreme Economic Council (SEC) – The new ruling financial body, consisting of handpicked Sith financiers and economic strategists, who dictated all future financial policy.
  5. The Establishment of the Central Authority – A new financial fortress was built on Jutrand, serving as the SIBC's command center and the heart of Sith-Imperial economic control.

With these reforms, Empyrean created an economic machine that no Sith Lord, no corporation, and no planetary governor could escape from.



Major Events in the SIBC's Rise to Power

The Great Sith Economic Reformation (The Birth of the SIBC's Economic Supremacy)
  • After absorbing all independent financial institutions, the SIBC became the sole legal banking entity in the Sith Empire.
  • The Sith-Imperial Credit (SIC) was restructured under strict central authority, making all planetary economies fully dependent on Sith financial systems.
  • The first large-scale "financial purges" began, targeting former warlords, rogue corporations, and debt defaulters who resisted Imperial financial law.

The Silent War of the Ledgers (Sith Warlords vs. the SIBC)
  • Several Sith Lords attempted to resist economic centralization, believing they could fund their own power bases independently.
  • The SIBC responded with financial extermination tactics:
    • Their war funds vanished overnight.
    • Their armies went unpaid.
    • Their industrial suppliers turned against them.
  • Within months, these Sith Lords found themselves militarily crippled, abandoned by their own forces, and forced into exile or servitude.
  • This marked the first major victory of the SIBC over the traditional Sith warlord system, proving that wealth, not the Force, was the greatest weapon of control.

The Black Ledger Crisis (Failed Attempt to Overthrow the SIBC)
  • A coalition of rogue Sith Lords and corrupt guildmasters attempted to hack the Typhojem AI, seeking to erase their debts and rewrite financial records in their favor.
  • The plot failed, and every conspirator was:
    • Financially erased (all assets seized, all wealth removed).
    • Exiled into debt slavery or executed by economic inquisitors.
  • The crisis reinforced the SIBC's reputation as an untouchable entity—any attempt to manipulate Sith finance was met with total economic annihilation.

The Expansion of the War Bonds Exchange (WBE) (Militarizing the Economy for Profit)
  • The SIBC developed a financial market where investors could fund Sith military campaigns in exchange for a share of plundered wealth.
  • Sith Lords and financiers began treating war as an investment, leading to the complete monetization of Sith conquest.
  • This initiative ensured that all military actions were financially profitable, making the Sith war machine self-sustaining through economic exploitation.


Modus Operandi: How the SIBC Operates Today

The SIBC rules not through violence, but through financial strangulation. Its methods are as cold and calculated as the Sith Order is brutal and militaristic.
  1. Financial Domination Through Debt
    • No planet, governor, or Sith Lord can operate without financial ties to the SIBC.
    • Debt is weaponized, ensuring that all planetary economies remain permanently dependent on the Empire.
  2. Economic Warfare & Market Manipulation
    • The SIBC controls all stock markets, industry quotas, and war investments, ensuring that no financial movement occurs outside its control.
    • Enemies of the Sith Empire do not need to be invaded—they can simply be financially suffocated.
  3. Absolute Control Over the Military-Industrial Complex
    • The Sith military, warship production, and resource extraction are all owned or influenced by the SIBC.
    • No fleet is built, no army is supplied, unless the SIBC approves the funding.
  4. Financial Surveillance & Economic Inquisition
    • The Typhojem AI monitors every credit transaction in Sith space.
    • Any attempt at economic rebellion results in instant liquidation, tax raids, or execution by financial inquisitors.
  5. Expansion Beyond Sith Space (Galactic Economic Conquest Plan)
    • Through black markets, off-the-books investments, and shadow banking operations, the SIBC is infiltrating foreign economies, ensuring that even non-Sith entities fall into its grasp.


Legacy: The Unbreakable Financial Empire

Since its formation, the SIBC has grown beyond a mere financial institution—it is now one of the most powerful Sith organizations in existence. While the Sith Lords control the Empire politically, the SIBC ensures that none of them can rule without its wealth.

It has achieved what no Sith before Empyrean could: the permanent financial subjugation of the Sith Order itself.

It is not just the economy of the Sith Empire—it is the Empire.
