Your whole idea(which isnt a bad idea in itself) is based on this thought, that you think the current establishment goes against the SW story. Well, unfortunatly, yours does too. Allow me to explain:

We have come to find out in the movies that there exists a rule among the Sith, commonly called the "Only Two" rule. What this rule states, is that there can never exist more than two Sith at a time. What is the reason for this rule? Thousands of years ago, when the Sith numbered in the thousands, the shear greed and lust for power that is the dark side, drove the Sith to fight amongst themselves and battle for leadership. They eventualy destroyed their Order as a whole, and the Jedi destroyed the remaining ones. Only one Sith survived. This Sith was named Darth Bane, and he established a New Sith Order, which, at its core, possessed a rule stating there could NEVER be more than two Sith at any given time, and the purpose of this new rule was to prevent the Sith from doing what they had done before when they were many.

For a second realize the meaning BEHIND the rule. It's purpose was protection.

Now. The Sith Order has existed in the shadows for a thousand years until, in this time period, Palpatine has brought them into the light, and taken over the entire republic, defeated the Jedi, and set himself up as Ruler. Just as it would violate the rule for himself or Vader to train another Sith(as having more sith around would be dangerous to either of them and violate the meaning BEHIND the rule), training dark jedi would be equaly dangerous. At the very core of the dark side are hate, greed, and lust. The greed and lust is what make any who use the dark side, Sith or Dark jedi, a danger to others who are their 'friends', as that greed and lust will drive them to destroy each other in the pursuit of being the most powerful. As it is, Palpatine can keep and eye on one apprentice(Vader). He would be foolish to condone the training of 'dark jedi' for the same reason he wouldnt condone the training of additional Sith(even though this is an contradiction of terms. A jedi is a servant of the people, somone who uses the dark side is a servant of themselves. Once you start using the dark side, you cease to be a Jedi, so there can never exist a 'dark jedi')

There is nothing loyal about the dark side, thats the very nature of it. Any TRUE roleplayer, if they were a dark jedi, would try to overthrow Vader and the Emperor(were that possible in the game). Once again, the dark side is about lust for power, and somone controlled by the dark side would not be satisfied being somones dog on a leash.

The whole point of this: TheEmperor would not train people in the dark side of the force, as doing so would be creating people who could(and would) strive to otherthrow him to become more powerful themselves. Palpatine isnt a fool, and wouldnt create a systemwhich so blatentlyWOULD endanger himself. I know in books that authors have written about dark jedi, but those authors are not George Lucas, and in the movies we have never seen a Dark Jedi. Many different authors write many different variations of the Star Wars story, and these different variations contradict each other many times. That is why its safest to stick to the movies and their novelizations as to what is and isnt fact, and just enjoy the expanded universe as what it is: different writers interpretations of the SW story.
