The Emperor's Secret Order, also called the Secret Order of the Emperor, was a mysterious organization of Sith that were directly subordinated to Sith Emperor of the reconstituted Sith Empire. Led by Darth Ganondorf, a powerful Sith Sorcerer, the Secret Order was a rumor to much of the Empire; as the only others to know of it's existence other than the Emperor were the Dark Council. Secret Order members held the title of Emperor's Mage. They carried out personal missions for the Emperor, such as assassination of key enemies of locating certain objects or persons. Membership in the Secret Order was very selective, only a few handful of Sith were hand picked to join the enigmatic organization.
