The Star Wars universe has two distinct philosophies that have been created around the force. While others exist, the Jedi and the Sith are the most prominently featured. Of course, the Sith worship the darkness of the force and thrive on pain and misery.
There are a number of objects and artifacts that hold great power in Sith mythology. They can often boost a users abilities, connect someone to the past, or increase the darkness within. These artifacts are scattered across the galaxy and can be great tools for those looking to restore the Sith to their former glory. These are featured in the movies, books, comics, TV shows, video games, and beyond.
10 Darth Vader's Mask
Darth Vader's mask has been consistently featured throughout the Star Wars franchise as a symbol of darkness and great power. Worn by Anakin Skywalker during his time as a dark side apprentice, it would eventually pass on to his grandson, Kylo Ren.
The burnt husk of a helmet inspired the young warrior and allowed him to feel the darkness that once coursed through Vader's veins. Its destruction meant that the darkness disappeared, but, for a time, it was one of the most significant Sith artifacts out there.
9 Sith Holocron
The Sith Holocrons often operate much like a Jedi one, but it has been deeply corrupted. The basic idea of a Holocron is that they are objects which can stand the test of time and hold information that is so secretive it has been locked away.
The Jedi, for instance, have had Holocron's which contained the names of potential Padawans or the locations of lost Jedi. The Sith have a series of much darker versions, which may hold the key to reviving the ancient order and bringing chaos to the galaxy.
8 Exim Panshard's Mask
The viceroy known as Exim Panshard was an ancient Sith who had his own mask created out of a cruel metal. The material was able to hold in the dark side and was said to influence anyone who wore it. It could corrupt even the purest of hearts.
The mask itself also held in it the screams of the victims of the wielder. It's a sinister affair and one that the Acolytes of the Sith got their hands on. The Aftermath trilogy depicts what happens when someone uses such a deadly mask, with the wearer actually murdering those close to them.
7 The Lightsabers Of Darth Atrius
Darth Atrius was another reviled Sith Lord who had two iconic crossguard lightsabers which dealt great damage during his lifetime. After he died, they went on to become yet another symbol of how dastardly the Sith could really be.
Sana Starros would eventually recover them and sell them, with Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader ultimately destroying them. They were a source of real power, and, much like any lightsaber, they could do genuine damage without the extra evil coursing through the blade.
6 Sith Scrolls
The Jedi and the Sith both have a series of scrolls and texts which hold a lot of knowledge. For the Sith, these scrolls have been passed down through generations. They hold many great Sith teachings including that of the rule of two.
They even hold the key to various tricks that could be seen as sorcery and were used throughout the Clone Wars to get the upper hand on the Jedi Order. Lords like Count Dooku and Palpatine both utilized these artifacts in order to expand their knowledge of their order.
5 Sith Chalice
A Sith Chalice has a strange effect of manipulation when it is used to burn incense in. Palpatine actually possessed one as Chancellor and displayed it on full view. However, because of his title and role, no one ever questioned what the Chalice did.
This object is of great influence to those who smell what it's actually burning, though. The Sith Lord originally retrieved it from the planet known as Malachor, and it likely has a long and dark history dating back to the earlier days of the order.
4 Lord Momin's Mask
Once again a mask has been the site of some of the strongest levels of darkness in the galaxy. Lord Momin was a sinister figure and his mask was an artifact of great interest to Palpatine, who held it during the Clone Wars. This was, of course, after it was broken out of the Jedi vaults.
Palpatine went to great lengths to retrieve the horrible mask but would later gift it to Darth Vader, demonstrating its huge power levels. It seems as if the artifact was destroyed when Lando Calrissian exploded the ship is was being kept on.
3 Great Crystal Of Aantonaii
Not much is known about this Crystal, but Palpatine did hunt it down, so it must be of some significance. Once again, he held it throughout the Clone Wars and likely had it hidden afterward in his personal collection. During his time as Chancellor, though, he kept it close to him.
Unlike the Chalice, the Jedi would have known what this Crystal was, and it was therefore to be kept a secret. It has an energy and aura that few other artifacts contain; it could potentially power a ship or perhaps be the key to unlocking a great Sith secret.
2 Sith Wayfinder
The Sith Wayfinder is very similar to that of a Holocron considering it holds important information, though the difference is that it can set a path for a ship to follow. It quite literally finds the way to an important location the user is searching for.
Notably, one Sith Wayfinder helped the Sith find the planet Exegol. A number of Sith have owned this and various other Wayfinders over the years, but, as demonstrated by the trip to the unknown regions, these objects are very useful in guiding its user through any area that is unmapped.
1 Sith Books
While the Sith Scrolls are of great importance, there's also a number of other Sith texts that can be found in the personal collections of many Sith Lords. Indeed, some of the greats of the Order have also written their own texts which help to fill some gaps of the mythology.
The Jedi have their own set of books which open up a great deal of knowledge to them, but, unlike the scrolls, these books can even hold darkness themselves. A light side or grey user could certainly be tempted by the darkness just from reading one of these.
