Galactic Emperor Sheev Palpatine traveled aboard his personal shuttle. Heavily modified, the Lambda-class T-4a shuttle featured a cloaking device that rendered it invisible to all known forms of energy.
A fittingly fearsome vessel for its deadly pilot, the Sith Infiltrator is the personal starship of Darth Maul, Dark Lord of the Sith. Maul used the sleek ship to silently travel wherever his master, Darth Sidious, ordered.
The Rise of Skywalker tells us that this planet is Exegol, a hidden Sith bastion, and that the fleet is Palpatine's Final Order, a massive secret force anchored by countless Star Destroyers, each equipped with a planet-killing superlaser.
We've learned that Palpatine came back through the use of clone bodies and that his followers at Exegol are the Sith Eternal. They smuggled parts in from the Sienar-Jaemus and Kuat-Entralla shipyards to Exegol to build the ships, using the "shipwrights, engineers, and slaves" who lived on Exegol.
One could theorize that he bore a child through some sort of space artificial insemination, or something closer to what we've seen in canon Star Wars material. In the canon comic Darth Vader No. 25, it is revealed that Palpatine somehow used the Force to manipulate midichlorions to impregnate Shmi Skywalker.
DARK SIDE FRIDAY - Did you know Palpatine feared Qui-Gon Jinn? Palpatine was immensely powerful and he could see the future which made him very confident about pretty much anyone who stood against him. So why Qui-Gon Jinn?
Moore gave birth to Triclops after impregnating herself with "Force-sensitive DNA" she procured from an anonymous source, which is largely implied to be Palpatine. That makes Triclops Palpatine's biological son.
The Super Star Destroyer is one of the largest, most powerful Imperial vessels ever created. A smooth hull presents an arrowhead shaped profile when viewed from above. Resting in the center of this hull is an "island" of habitable volume.
Wilhuff Tarkin
Like Vader, Tarkin was one of Palpatine's most trusted followers.
Snoke was likely born from these experiments but was too imperfect a vessel to house Palpatine's spirit. There were other candidates, like the strand-cast who became Rey's father. But since the process that created strand-casts could not reliably replicate Force-sensitivity, Palpatine's “son” was not Force sensitive.
Order 67 was an order requiring clone troopers to dance. During the Battle of Utapau, Darth Sidious accidentally issued Order 67 when he meant to use Order 66. Just after the order was executed, Cody and his troops began dancing. However, Sidious browsed a manual and executed Order 66.
In the Jedi Prince series of young-reader novels (1992–1993) by Paul and Hollace Davids, set about a year after Return of the Jedi, a three-eyed mutant named Triclops is revealed to be Palpatine's illegitimate son; he had a son named Ken, the titular "Jedi Prince".
During the Separatist crisis, Amedda was Palpatine's advisor, helping keep the Senate in line during debates and serving as aide and emissary. Amedda helped arrange the Senate vote to give Palpatine emergency powers by taking advantage of Representative Jar Jar Binks's eagerness to be of service.
Reminiscent in design of the Empire's TIE interceptor and Darth Vader's TIE advanced, Kylo Ren's TIE silencer is an angular fighter equipped with laser cannons and missile launchers.
The Tantive IV first appeared in the 1977 film Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, and holds the distinction of being the first ever ship to appear in the franchise.
If Obi-Wan had faced Sidious, not only would he have died, but all hope would have also been lost in ever defeating the Sith and bringing balance to the Force. It was a tough decision, but Yoda and Obi-Wan did what they could with the hands they were dealt.
He dedicated himself to growing in power, ultimately disposing of his master once he had attained sufficient knowledge. And while Yoda and Palpatine both worked with the Senate, they treated each other with the utmost respect.
First on the list of Palpatine's rivals is Darth Bane. He was not only unrivaled with a lightsaber in his day, but he was also a master at shrugging off the force powers of others, Sith and Jedi alike. As the sole surviving Sith of the Jedi-Sith War, his knowledge of the force should not be underestimated.
Tarkin was the embodiment of Palpatine's desire to rule by fear and was put in charge of the Death Star project. In many ways, Tarkin was more ruthless than Palpatine.
1 Darth Sidious
There has been no Sith, as powerful, meticulous, nor as evil as the Emperor himself, Darth Sidious. As previously mentioned, Sidious trained in the Dark Side by Darth Plagueis before Sidious killed Plagueis in his sleep, making Sidious a Sith Master.
By far the most iconic Sith Lord and warrior is Darth Vader (or Anakin Skywalker). He, through his extensive injuries and being trapped in a technologically-advanced suit to survive, stayed strong with the force.
1. Darth Sidious (Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace) Truly, the most powerful Sith Lord was Darth Sidious, better known in his public persona of Chancellor (later Emperor) Palpatine.
A crystal embodies the Jedi as the heart of the lightsaber, and pure kyber has no color until it's bonded to the Force user. This process likely resulted in Rey Skywalker's lightsaber being yellow.
Rey was born on Hyperkarn in 15 ABY during the rise of the New Republic. Her father, Dathan, was a bioengineered Strand-Cast cloned from the genetic template of Darth Sidious, the Sith Lord who ruled the Galactic Empire as Emperor Palpatine.
In The Rise of Skywalker's novelization, we learn that Rey's father was a failed clone of Emperor Palpatine. He was initially created to be a vessel to house Palpatine and his Sith power.
