The Emperor's Hand was a dark side organization that served the will of the Sith Emperor, Darth Vitiate, directly, autonomous of the reconstituted Sith Empire's rule. Following its abandonment by the former Sith Emperor, it was reformed by the new Emperor Darth Vowrawn as the Hand of the Empire, or the Hand. The Servants, core members of the organization, remained loyal to the fallen Vitiate and rose against the Empire's will in service of their master until their demise aboard Kira Carsen's ship.
