Ironically enough nearly all Sith Artifacts ever discoeved by the Jedi are still intact, The Jdei found that the necessary way to undo the Sith Force weilding was to bombard the Atrifact with the power of the Dark Side. Thus not even the powerful Jedi Masters of old were able to destroy the Sith Artifacta and talismans caputed after the down fall of the Sith. Most still remain in the Galacti Museum on Coruscant in the museum's "Sith Hall".

No Sith Construction has been based on any other in terms of adornments, ornmaentation and overall style. The Sith considerd each edifice a work of art, an extention of the designer's personalitly. As a result, it has proven futile for the Jedi to catalog and analyze the building methods and layouts of such structures. Jedi assualts on these palaces, libraries, temples therefore require much tactical conjecture. for the Jedi leaders never know what to expect.

The Sith developed talismans of concentration to help them durning long, elaborate rites, thos typically associated with the tapping of vast amounts of Dark Side power. The talisman allowed a sorceror to concentrate all his will to the creation of the desired effect, temporarily increasing his ablitiy to manipulate the Force.

Unfortunately, use of such a device often caused the weilder to succumb to exhaustion the momnet his Force effect was completed- a defect that prevented such talismans from becoming commonly used, especially in battles.

Devices of this nature appear to function excatly as talismans of oncentration- especially to a Dark Side weilder. This particular version, however, has one added ability: It can immediately turn the weilder to the Dark Side.

Sith magicians discovered that some Jedi had taken to using Sith talismans to serve the Light Side. To defeat this unintended and unwanted use of their devices, the Sith constructed manu with the power to insantly lure the unsuspecting Jedi to the Dark Side. The secondary function has fulfilled their goal, for the use of Sith artifacts by Jedi Knights has been outlaewed ever since.

During the Sith revolt led by Naga Sadow, many pureblood Sith devotees created talismans of healing to give thier side the advantage in combat encounters. The devices quicken and increase the power of a corporal beings natural healing processes at the expense of the weilder's ablity to use the FORCE.

The use of the Force sends ripples through the galaxy, altering anyone able to percieve such subtle vibrations to the location and identity of the Force-wielder at the source(the amount of information regarding the emanation piont of the ripples is based on the ablity of the individual sensing the dis- turbance in the Force). The Sith learned quickly that this natural occurrence allowed their movements to be tracked and their ambitions to be foiled by the opposing forces, and they created devices called Force Masks to hide such eminations.

The mask essetially sends out anti-Force-ripples that cancel the natural produced by the use of the Force. The area around the Force-weilder there fore appears dormant, devoid of any type of Force activity.

The Sith shield talisman was one of the first Dark Side devices discovered and catalogued by the Jedi. The talisman protects it wearer(it usually take the form of an amulet,medallion,necklace or torque) from energy (from the light side to pulse-waves to lasers) and Force attacks. Research suggests that the device works by absorbing the energy directed at it and storing it for use as its own source of fuel.

To retain its ablity to function however, the talisman requires an infusion of energy at least once per sstandard week.

The tomes containing Sith teachings,lore,and Force techniques were written in the Siths ancient language which has all but died out since the destruction of the speices. Very few scholars can descipher the strange language, and even fewer have learned to pronounce its complex word structures. This talisman, initialy designed and created by the fallen Jedi who sought to learn the Sith's secert techniques, allows the wielder to read the Sith language as if it were his own native tongue.

These alchemically reinforced blades can withstand any blow. Their indestructible nature allows them to even parry lightsbers. Such weapons have survived through thousands of generations and yet remain in perfect condition, their edges sharp and their blades straight.

Following the fall of the Sith Empire, the Jedi destroyed as many Sith talismans, temples and Holocrons as they could find in the aftermath of the war. They wished to prevent Knoledge of the Sith ways from falling into the hands of power-hungry dark siders or uninitiated Force students seeking short cuts to learning how to control the Force.

Of the remanents of Sith artifacts, the talismans proved the most difficult to deconstruct. The Jedi employed many methods with little success, for it seemed each device required a different method to destroy it.

Destruction involved everything from the physical rendering of the talismans components, to the removal of it's stored dark side energy by Jedi Masters of tremendous ability. Some devices could only be destroyed by battering them with the darkside- which prevented the Jedi from erradicating them. Many of these talismans were hidden or cast into stars or nebulea to keep them from the wrong hands.

The Sith devices that remain are either under the direct gaurdianship of the Jedi, or stored in the ancient dark side retreats or library-temples that continue to elude the notice of the Jedi.

The safest method of learning Sith powers requires the possession of a Sith Holocron. Unfortunately such devises are extremely rare. Most were destroyed during the Fall, and not one has come to the attention of the Jedi for more than 700 years- which does not mean that they do not exist. Merely that who ever holds them has not yet discovered how to operate them or how to take advavntage of thier teachings.

Holocron technology arose tens of thousnands of years ago, if not more. These devises act as interactive stores of information, most often used to retain the secrets of Force powers for future generations. The creator of a Holocron essentially transfers a portion of his personality into the object and this sentient presence is then referred to as the gatekeeper of that Holocron.

Most holocrons have special organic crystalline components, a rare commodity found only on a few remote worlds, the names of many of which have been lost to history - or purposely hidden by the miners of such scarce gems. When arranged properly these crytals form the lattice work of energy that can both absorb and later reproduce light and sound wave information. The Sith have developed a much more impressive construct by imbuing the crystals with Force energy through an elaborate procedure well guarded by its most powerful members. Some magicians tend to specialize in a certain erea of Sith knowledge- illusions for example. As a result, the wizard would creat a Holocron that explained the techqniques nescessary for producing illusionary effects, without a mention of any other aspect of Sith magic. Because of this it is impossible to find a Holocron that contains information about all of the Sith's powers in one massive compilation. And it also helps explain why some power have dissapeared over the course of the millennia- the Sith who developed the technique either never recorded it in a Holocron in the first place, or that Holocron has either been lost in some far off stat system or destroyed by Jedi during the Fall.

Scince Holocrons have different creators, they each focus on different aspects of Sith lore and powers based on the particular abilities and prefrences of the scorcerer who transferred her essence into the device.
