Sith artifact

Sith artifacts or relics were Force artifacts, often ancient, created or used by the Sith, a sect of malevolent Force-sensitives. Close proximity to such items could affect people, and a large number of Sith artifacts gathered together could create a wellspring of evil energy. Darth Sidious, a Sith Master who ultimately became the supreme ruler of the Galactic Empire, collected such artifacts. During the Clone Wars, part of his collection was stored in the Grand Republic Medical Facility, though some items like his Sith Chalice were located in the office Sidious used as Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine. After he became the Emperor, most of his artifacts were moved to the Imperial Palace, although many others were stored inside his luxury pleasure craft, the Imperialis. Notable Sith artifacts included the Sith Chalices, the Great Crystal of Aantonaii, various Sith scrolls, spellbooks, and talismans, the mask of Viceroy Exim Panshard, Darth Sidious' spirit urns, and the mask of Lord Momin.
