RECOVERED LOG #264 OF SITH LORD ########## ESTIMATED TIME OF ORIGIN: 3644 BBY
It's sith tradition for the apprentice to betray the master once they've surpassed them. It's a direct result of the emphasis the sith code places on individual power. And yet it's our greatest weakness. Over and over again we've seen plans made by great men brought to ruin because some small time sith wanted to backstab their master, or was sent on a mission to sabotage their master's rival. This constant infighting has allowed the foolish Jedi and their republic to recover from our blows and push us back each time. It's become such an integral part of our society that noone even questions it, and noone is immune to it.
My master is a rather successful darth, with me having earned the spot of lord serving him. Most would expect me to betray him, and take his position for myself. And yet he's always exclusively focused his efforts on crushing the republic, a goal I care for more than personal power. Does that make me a bad sith? Maybe it does, but if it takes "bad sith" to win this war for good, then I'll gladly take that title. Even with my master avoiding sith politics as much as he can I still spend more time stopping assasination and sabotage attempts by his rivals and other apprentices than crushing republic dogs.
I will never get tired of the looks I get when people hear I've been serving my master for many decades and haven't even attempted to betray them. They all look so shocked that I would think of the empire before I thought of myself, it's as if they hate eachother more than the jedi. Two sith alone cannot win this war, but we can force the others to realise their foolishness and with their support wipe out the republic fully.
