There's a <A href="http://www.telefragged.com/reviews/kotor-pc/">review</a> of <A href="http://www.swkotor.com">Knights of the Old Republic</A> over at <a href="http://www.telefragged.com/">Telefragged</a>, giving the game a <b>93%</b> - even gave the interface a <b>93%</b> for some, odd reason. Well, here's a clip:
<br>
<br>
<blockquote>KOTOR takes place in the Star Wars universe, but it's three thousand years before the events in the six movies. Instead of the Empire, the bad guys are the Sith - they're still run by evil ex-Jedi, and they basically work just like you'd expect the Empire to. Your character starts out as a soldier, but soon finds that his or her ability with the Force is very strong, and over the course of the game you can become a powerful Jedi yourself. The game allows a light side or dark side solution to almost every quest, and you will eventually have to pick a side. </blockquote>

Yeah, well, the Empire was Sith too.

The state of insanity.
Actually, the empire wasn't sith, just Darth Vader and the Emperor followed the old sith ways. Alot of the soldiers working for the empire were truly unaware of the history around the sith and what they represented. Even the sith in KOTOR aren't 'true' sith as is stated in one of the load screen messages from the game. After the clone wars, only a small handful of people continued the sith tradition. Alot of the higher ranking officers in the empire knew of the sith, but did not consider themselves followers of the beliefs of that long dead race.

Edit: Although the empire was formed by the emperor who was a sith lord.

According to some pseudo-historical thing in SW background (i forget where- it might have been in a game, or book), sometime between all this (KotoR), and the Empire period the Sith had a big schism, in which they butchered each other. The survivor decided he'd keep it solely as a master/apprentice thing, avoid armies, and be subtle. A tradition which supposedly continued to Palpatine. Though some of the stuff around the movies now seems to be contradicting that- though given Lucas, no shock there.

And there's all the other Sithy people involved in the rise of that Empire, too.
