The Black Hand

The Black Hand were the leaders of the Followers of the Infinite Darkness. It consisted of 5 former Sith Lords who believed the self-destructive cycle of power struggles seen in previous incarnations of the Sith Order were detrimental to the efforts of the larger Empire. They sought to create a perfect society and, in 5947 BBY they emerged as the Leaders of the Infinite Darkness, a dark side worshipping cult that operated during the Old Republic Era.

Members of the cult often referred to The Black Hand as one person in order to reduce the threat of any assassination attempt,
