Did the Emperor betray the Sith Order?

Yes, Palpatine carried nothing about the Sith traditions, he was after personal power only!

No, Palpatine was loyal to the order, his every action was to further the power of the Sith and the Darkside.

Neither, Palpatine is the ultimate opportunist

He won.

He destroyed the Jedi order.

He ruled the galaxy, he could've had batches of Sith Warriors and so on but because he didn't name them Sith they are called Dark Jedi. Seriously in reading the Dark Side Sourcebook, I really don't see any advantage to be calling yourself a Sith vs not(aside from the powers only a Sith Lorde persay could access...but that's for RPG purposes).

Seriously he won...why should he care about the rule of two, that was to insure secrecy for eventual victory, hardly a notion to keep once victory was achieved.
He won? so that was his evil twin that Vader threw down the shaft?

If ole palpy hadda kept it simple he'd have won. And the rebellion would have been a few laugh lines that imperial accadamy caddets shared.

Of course he won his battle with the Jedi. By the time of the Battle of Endor their are no more Jedi, only a half trained boy. Your right about him losing sight of his objective though.

What about those funky old dudes that hung out with the emperor in ROTJ that wore robes and those silly lookin hats? Where they suppossed to be priests or mystics, and if of what order and/or religion? Just curious if they have anything to do with the sith.

I think on was his chancellor, I forget the his name though. The other could have been on of the Sith-mages seen in DE.

:shock: "[vader] when he trained a supernumerary bastard Sith"

Uhhh, what?

He is correct Vader did indeed take apprentice's, who he kept secret even from the Emperor. The details are in the old Marvel SW comics run.
