Many centuries ago, the first of the Dark Jedi fled from the Core Worlds and came to Korriban. There they discovered the race of beings known as the Sith. Over hundreds of generations, the two groups intermingled. The Dark Jedi found that Sith society and culture suited their philosophy well. Before long, the elite ruling class of Korriban consisted almost entirely of hybridized offspring of the Dark Jedi and the high priests of the Sith. This hybridization resulted in an ambitious, ruthless race with a natural strength in the Force. Genetically speaking, the term “pureblood” is a misnomer, as all modern Sith are hybrids, a product of the unions between the ancient Dark Jedi and the original Sith race. However, the term is useful in distinguishing those who carry enough of the blood of the ancient race to still be evident in their features.
Force-Sensitivity: The Sith species is one of the few species that was known to be highly Force-sensitive. Due to their violent culture and attunement to the Force, the Sith are almost immediately bathed in the dark side of the Force as infants, constantly being tempted and affected by its taint. One in every five Sith born is not Force-sensitive.

Grotthu In any form of hierarchy there of course needs to be the lowest rung of society. For the Sith'ari these were the Grotthu. Meant for a life of labor they performed many of the menial functions of the Sith Empire.
