The in-game encyclopedia calls Vader the Dark Lord of the Sith and the Empire's best-known emblem, clad in black armor. A powerful dark Jedi, he was largely to blame for nearly wiping out the Jedi Knights. Having studied under Obi-Wan Kenobi, he was turned to the dark side and joined the Empire. The entry also describes him as an excellent starfighter pilot and a brilliant military tactician, noted for ruthlessness; few who fail him live long enough to regret it. The Alliance had hoped he died when the Death Star was destroyed, but he has lately come back at the head of one of the Empire's newest ships, a Super Star Destroyer.<ref name="ency" />
