Whilst the cultists were often outmatched by the Jedi they faced on their missions, particularly the talented Jaden Korr, they fought to the death with a zealous fury. The lower members of the Disciples of Ragnos were simply called "Sith cultists" or just "cultists." They were mainly deployed in operations relating to Tavion's hunt for more Force energy, often working alongside Imperial Remnant or mercenaries. The more powerful of Tavion's cultists were called the New Reborn, as they were recruited among the surviving members of Desann's army of Reborn and their skills were superior to the cultists. In combat against Jedi, the Force-users would typically employ their powers aggressively along with rapid acrobatics to distract the Jedi and create openings for their lightsaber-wielding partners. Generally, cultists operated in pairs or small groups, typically with one lightsaber cultist backed up by one or two Force-users to maximize their abilities. The difference in the blade length did not seem to have an effect on the weapon's performance. It was likely that the cultists were not skilled enough to create their own lightsabers. Lightsabers with slightly shorter blades, modeled on Tavion's, were mass produced using synthetic crystals for the lightsaber-wielding cultists. In combat, the cultists made frequent use of Dun Möch to offset their lack of saber skills, taunting their opponents arrogantly. Some were also able to throw their lightsaber a short distance using telekinesis.
These cultists had little skill in Force powers, but all were trained to use Force Jump and to employ Force push defensively. These cultists wore an orange battle suit and were usually competent in one of the three styles of lightsaber combat in use at the time, although they generally lacked the skill and discipline needed to defeat an average Jedi from Luke Skywalker's Jedi Praxeum. However, most were trained in the basics of lightsaber combat. Others were armed with a blaster rifle and had basic knowledge of several dark side powers. Some of Tavion's Sith cultists were Force-users, carrying no weapons and instead using offensive powers such as Force Grip and Force lightning as well as acrobatics and hand-to-hand combat techniques. Members of the cult had been empowered with the Force by Tavion's Scepter of Ragnos and wore different color battle suits depending on their abilities. 2 Other Cult Members and Accomplishments.
