They wanted perfect strength, perfect power, and perfect destiny, which, in turn, allowed one to do whatever they wanted for the most part. The Sith desired to free themselves in order to reach perfection and fulfill their potential. The ultimate goal of any Sith was to free himself from such restrictions, but not in the simplistic meaning of just being able to do whatever he wanted. The restrictions could be those placed upon a being by someone else, or restrictions that one placed upon oneself. According to Yuthura Ban, the chains represented a being's restrictions not just a Sith but any being in the universe. The true meaning of the line "…my chains are broken" was a subject of argument among many Sith. Perfect strength, perfect power, perfect destiny." ―Yuthura Ban " One who has freed themselves from all restrictions has reached perfection… their potential fulfilled. According to Master Quist, the tenets of the Sith were self-centered and focused on individual needs and desires, while the Jedi defended the idea of achieving greatness through self-humbling. In The Jedi Path: A Manual for Students of the Force, the Human Chief Librarian Restelly Quist wrote a chapter on Sith history, including a brief commentary on the Code of the Sith. īy 990 BBY, the Jedi Order knew of the Sith Code. The Sith Code was created on the planet Ziost so as to point to the "failings" of the Jedi Code, and it was meant to become a unifying mantra for the followers of the newly created Sith Empire. In her journal, Sorzus Syn stated that the Jedi beliefs only encouraged acceptance of one's limitations and passivity. Inspired by their example of brutal impulsiveness, Syn decided to write a pendant to the Jedi Code, a new mantra that was based on passion and the channeling of rage through anger. Syn had been impressed by the lifestyle of the Sith Purebloods, who would take all what they needed, kill the rest, and use everything to its fullest. Indeed, the first recorded appearance of the Code dates back to the personal journal of Sorzus Syn, one of the fallen Jedi who set foot on Korriban in the year 6900 BBY. The Code of the Sith, as penned by Sorzus Syn herself around 6900 BBYĪccording to the Human Qordis, founder and master of the Sith Academy on Korriban, the Code of the Sith served as the backbone of the Order since Jedi Exiles enslaved the red-skinned Sith Purebloods from the Horuset system. But we also know it is full of inadequacies and half-truths." ―Sorzus Syn The Jedi have a code, and we exiles know it well. " A single, unifying code can be derived from the Sith philosophy.
