Sith Lords call their trainees Sith Acolytes (novices) or Sith Apprentices, with "Apprentice" becoming the standard term after Darth Bane's Rule of Two, though they're often just called by their given or "Darth" name, with the master referring to them as "my apprentice". The title "Darth" is a formal title bestowed by the master when the apprentice is ready, essentially replacing their old name and signifying their new status as a Dark Lord in training.
"Acolyte" is used for a novice learner or an extremely junior (i.e. brand-new) apprentice. "Apprentice" as a title can be used to refer to any apprenticed acolyte, but is generally reserved for use by Dark Lords as it implies superiority of the speaker; an acolyte or another apprentice certainly wouldn't use it.
Sith apprentices were analogous to Jedi Padawans, and the relationship between Sith Master and apprentice was the analog to Jedi Knight and Padawan.
Inspired by the concept of a Force dyad, the rule mandated that only two Sith Lords could exist at any given time: a master to represent the power of the dark side of the Force, and an apprentice to train under the master and one day fulfill their role. The philosophy of two governed the Lords of the Sith.

Each individual guild generally recognised three ranks of workers: apprentices, journeymen, and masters.
Darth Maul is the weakest. Bane was strong : he killed all the Sith and lots of Jedi.
Form VII (Juyo), the "Ferocity Form," was banned by the Jedi Order because it required channeling aggression, anger, and other intense emotions to fuel its wild, relentless, and unpredictable attacks, which closely skirts the dark side and risks corrupting the user, a direct violation of the Jedi Code's emphasis on peace and emotional control, even though Mace Windu later adapted it into the controlled Vaapad variant for a select few.
As per the hunger for power inherent to the dark side, Sith apprentices longed to overthrow their master to become the master themself. Sith Masters demanded absolute loyalty from their apprentices, but would betray and replace them if they felt stronger potential in another.
The clone commando RC-1136, known as Darman Skirata, got Jedi Knight Etain Tur-Mukan pregnant during the Clone Wars, resulting in their son, Venku Skirata, a Force-sensitive child born outside the Jedi Code's restrictions. Their forbidden relationship and child's birth were detailed in the Republic Commando novels, highlighting the complexities of clone troopers' development and the strictures of the Jedi Order, as Etain was killed shortly after Order 66 while protecting her family.
Female Sith do not often appear in the films, but their presence runs deep in comics, novels, and video games. In Legends especially, women such as Darth Zannah, Darth Traya, and Lumiya played pivotal roles in shaping the fate of the galaxy.
By the time of the New Sith Wars, the Sith Blademaster Kas'im had mastered Form III as well as the six other forms. Kas'im trained several apprentices in the style, including Fohargh, who used it against Bane's Form V. Bane himself possessed considerable skill in the Form, training his apprentice, Darth Zannah, in it.
Vader breaks free of the operating table and takes a few steps before doing the only thing anybody in his position could do, he screams an unholy, bloodcurdling scream. His vocal computer has nothing close to this sound in its database so it translates it to the infamous 'Noooooooooo'.
Qimir has already been calling himself Darth Venamis, and is ready to officially be a Sith Lord Apprentice, but, is also already conspiring to get a pupil of his own, & eventually kill his own master as well.
No, Darth Plagueis is not Anakin Skywalker's father; Anakin had no biological father, being born of the Force itself in response to Plagueis's dark side manipulations, with Palpatine's tales of Plagueis's power over life being a manipulation to turn Anakin to the dark side, though Plagueis's attempts to create life did inadvertently cause Anakin's conception.
In the book, the two have an exchange that is clearly and unambiguously queer when Kaeden reveals she wants to kiss Ahsoka. The passage reads: "'I could kiss you. ' Ahsoka stopped in her tracks.
While filming as Princess Leia, she was famously told by George Lucas that she couldn't wear underwear under her costume. When Fisher pressed him on the reason, Lucas gave a rather unusual explanation: in zero gravity, the body expands, and underwear could supposedly strangle you.
In Star Wars lore, Order 37 was a grim Clone Trooper contingency plan to capture a wanted individual (often a Jedi) by taking a civilian population hostage, locking down the area, and threatening mass execution if the target wasn't surrendered, making it a horrific tactic used by the Empire to force Jedi compliance. It was considered more brutal than Order 66 because it targeted civilians directly, forcing Jedi to often turn themselves in to save innocent lives, as seen on planets like Bellassa.
Baras gained a great deal of weight -- becoming one of the fattest Sith Lords -- lost his hair, and took to wearing a mask. His dark side degradation and aging led to his skin becoming pallid and wrinkled, his eyes also changed color from a dark brown to red.
Physically, Vader is stronger due to his cybernetics, and has greater endurance feats, and while I do believe Nihilus is more agile, I'm more than sure Vader can keep up. As duelists, Nihilus is a bit above average but not in Vader's level. So with all that said, I declare Darth Vader, the battered and broken victor.
Darth Vectivus. He basically got all the power he wanted and then retired to live with his family and friends and died peacefully, none of the Sith backstabbing. Vergere is potentially another (although I'm still pissed at the retcon of her being Sith).
The four main types of apprenticeships, based on skill level and qualification, are Intermediate, Advanced, Higher, and Degree level, offering pathways from entry-level skills to university-equivalent qualifications in fields like trades (plumbing, construction) and professional sectors (IT, healthcare). Additionally, apprenticeships are often categorized by structure, including Full-time, Part-time, and School-based options.
The four types of college degrees are associate, bachelor's, master's and doctoral.
The highest apprenticeship salaries often go to skilled trades in high demand like Auto Electricians, Plumbers, and Electricians, with some qualified tradespeople earning over $100k, while specialized roles like Elevator Installers also offer top pay, especially with union apprenticeships in the US, but figures vary by country (like Australia's $125k-$145k for Auto Electricians). Pay increases significantly with experience, but the most lucrative trades involve complex technical skills.
